Philip Hughes, who was educated at the University of London, says,
“If the Bible is in reality the inspired Word of God, it must be as
such self-authenticating; it is in no need of human sanction. God
Himself witnesses to the truth of the Bible. As its Author He also
authenticates it to the heart and mind of every believer. It is by
the operation of the Holy Spirit that we are brought to faith in
Christ, and that saving faith is founded upon the good news
proclaimed in the pages of the Bible, and nowhere else. It is by the
internal witness of the Holy Spirit that we acknowledge and
appropriate the Biblical message and are assured daily and constantly
that ‘all Scripture is inspired of God.'”
