Bible Quote by Jay E. Adams
““Just as the Christian counselor knows that there is no unique problem that has not been mentioned plainly in the Scriptures, so also he knows that there is a biblical solution to every problem.6 He knows, too, that Jesus was tested “in all points as we are” and that He successfully met every test “without sin.”7 Since Jesus has faced and solved all of life’s basic problems, the counselor knows that in His work and words as recorded in the Scriptures he may discover the needed solutions.8””
