Biblical counseling is "for resolving of their doubts, and for help against their sins, and for direction in duty, and for increase of knowledge and all saving grace". (Richard Baxter, 1656, "The Reformed Pastor", reprinted 1860, p. 354).
Biblical counseling is not new. It is built on a simple, enduring principle: the triune God has spoken to us through the scripture. Furthermore, through Biblical history, doctrine, law codes, poetry and songs, God has revealed everything we NEED to know about Him, about ourselves, and about the world around us.
Biblical counseling relies on the Holy Spirit to:
- relate God's inspired truth about people, problems and solutions to human suffering and sin
- to empower people to glorify God
- cultivate conformity to Christ and communion with Christ and the Body of Christ
"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16
