Theological Approach

KJV Study stands firmly within historic Christian orthodoxy, affirming:

+

Theological Convictions

+

KJV Study is grounded in the theological heritage of the Protestant Reformation and the great confessions of faith that emerged from that watershed moment in church history. We stand unashamedly within historic Christian orthodoxy, confessing:

+ +

The Primacy of Scripture

+

We affirm Sola Scriptura — that the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. Scripture alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. The Bible is not merely a witness to divine truth; it is divine truth, breathed out by God Himself (2 Timothy 3:16), and therefore wholly trustworthy, sufficient, and supreme over all human tradition, reason, and experience.

+ +

The Sovereignty of God

+

We confess the absolute sovereignty of the Triune God over all creation, providence, and redemption. The Lord reigns supreme — declaring the end from the beginning, working all things according to the counsel of His will (Ephesians 1:11), upholding the universe by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). His purposes cannot be thwarted; His decrees stand forever; His counsel shall stand (Isaiah 46:10). In salvation, God's grace is efficacious and unconditional, flowing not from man's will or works, but from His mercy alone (Romans 9:16).

+ +

The Doctrines of Grace

+

We embrace the biblical doctrines of grace recovered during the Reformation, recognizing that salvation is entirely the work of God from beginning to end:

Our commentary reflects a conservative evangelical perspective, emphasizing:

+ +

Covenant Theology

+

We understand Scripture through the lens of God's covenantal dealings with His people. From the covenant of works in Eden to the covenant of grace revealed progressively through redemptive history, we see one unified plan of salvation culminating in Christ. The old and new covenants are not disconnected dispensations, but successive administrations of God's eternal purpose to redeem a people for Himself through the promised Seed (Galatians 3:16-29).

+ +

The Centrality of Christ

+

All Scripture testifies of Christ (John 5:39). From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals the person and work of Jesus Christ—fully God and fully man, the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). His substitutionary atonement on the cross fully satisfied divine justice, and His righteousness alone is imputed to believers by faith. We are justified not by our works, but by His perfect obedience (Romans 5:19, 2 Corinthians 5:21).

+ +

Our Interpretive Method

+

We employ the historic grammatical-historical-theological method of interpretation, seeking the plain meaning of the text in its original context while recognizing Scripture's divine authorship and unity. We reject both rationalistic liberalism that denies supernatural elements and allegorizing that obscures the text's intended meaning. Every passage must be understood in light of:

-

While our theological convictions are clear, we strive to present Scripture faithfully, allowing God's Word to speak for itself and encouraging readers to test all things against Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

+ +

While we hold these convictions firmly, we acknowledge that we stand in a long tradition of faithful Bible students and submit all interpretation to the supreme authority of Scripture itself. We encourage every reader to be like the Bereans, examining the Scriptures daily to test all teaching (Acts 17:11).
