1.2.5 The significance of Holy Scripture for doctrine and faith
Holy Scripture is the foundation for the doctrine of the New Apostolic Church.
Accordingly, the proclamation of the word in the divine services is also based on Holy Scripture. It is the starting point, and foundation for, the sermon (see 12.1.6).
