Lesson 08 - Preservation of the Scriptures - Deep Dive

The Preservation & Transmission of Scripture | Faithful to the Word

How do we know that the Bible we hold today is the same Word that God inspired thousands of years ago? In this powerful teaching, Dr. Joshua Nichols walks through the breathtaking story of how God has faithfully preserved His Word—from Sinai to the scribes, from the prophets to the printing press, and from ancient manuscripts to the Bible in your hands today.

This message reveals that preservation is not merely a historical process but a divine promise—a testimony to the faithfulness of the covenant-keeping God who both inspired and preserved His Word.

You’ll discover:

🌿 Why the Bible remains trustworthy and authoritative

📜 How God used scribes, copyists, and translators to preserve Scripture

🕊️ The difference between inspiration and preservation

🔥 How persecution and providence worked together to protect God’s Word

💎 Why every promise in Scripture remains pure and every truth unbroken

Through biblical foundations, historical evidence, and pastoral application, this teaching strengthens your confidence that the Bible you read today is the Bible God intended you to have—inspired, inerrant, and preserved by His sovereign hand.

“The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.” — Isaiah 40:8 (NASB)
