Our Mission
ExplainBible.ai is a tool created to help believers understand the Bible more deeply and accurately—through the lens of Reformed theology and the historic Christian faith.
We believe Scripture is the inspired Word of God, sufficient and clear, yet rich and profound. Our goal is to provide accessible, theologically grounded explanations that help you engage more faithfully with God's Word.
Not a Replacement for Personal Study
This tool is not a shortcut for reading the Bible, skipping prayer, or replacing your own study. We strongly encourage you to:
- Read Scripture daily and seek the Spirit's guidance
- Meditate on the Word, not just glance at interpretations
- Ask questions, dig deeper, and think critically
- Stay connected to your local church, under sound biblical teaching
- Be in fellowship with other Christians who will help you grow
- Remain accountable in both doctrine and life
A Tool to Deepen, Not Replace
ExplainBible.ai is best used as a companion, not a crutch. It exists to:
- Clarify difficult passages
- Provide historical and theological context
- Help you explore how others in the Reformed tradition have interpreted Scripture
- Encourage love for God's Word, not just understanding of it
We pray this tool will stir in you a greater hunger for Scripture, a deeper love for Christ, and a heart that desires to know, obey, and treasure God's truth.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…" – Colossians 3:16
The Technology Behind ExplainBible.ai
ExplainBible.ai uses advanced artificial intelligence to provide explanations of Scripture, but with important theological guardrails:
- Theological Guidance: Our AI is specifically instructed to provide explanations aligned with Reformed theology and historic Christian orthodoxy.
- Scriptural Grounding: Explanations are designed to reference other relevant Scripture, honoring the principle that Scripture interprets Scripture.
- Historical Context: The AI draws on historical and cultural context to help illuminate the original meaning of passages.
- Practical Application: Beyond mere information, explanations aim to include practical application for Christian living.
While we've taken great care to guide the AI toward sound theological explanations, we acknowledge that no technology is perfect. Always test what you read against Scripture itself and the counsel of trusted pastors and theologians.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a substitute for a pastor or Bible study?
Absolutely not. ExplainBible.ai is a tool to supplement—never replace—the teaching ministry of the local church, personal Bible study, and Christian community. God designed the church as the primary context for spiritual growth.
What theological perspective does ExplainBible.ai take?
ExplainBible.ai provides explanations from a Reformed theological perspective, emphasizing the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and the importance of covenant theology.
How should I use this tool most effectively?
Use ExplainBible.ai as a starting point, not an ending point. Read the passage in context first, pray for understanding, then use this tool to gain additional insights. Always return to Scripture itself, and discuss what you're learning with other believers.
Can I trust everything this tool says?
While we've designed ExplainBible.ai to provide sound theological explanations, it remains an AI tool with limitations. Always test what you read against Scripture itself (Acts 17:11) and consult trusted theological resources when studying complex passages.
Our Theological Foundations
ExplainBible.ai is built on these core theological commitments:
Sola Scriptura
Scripture alone is our highest authority for faith and practice, sufficient for all matters of salvation and godliness.
Sola Fide
Justification is by faith alone in Christ alone, not by our works or merit.
Sola Gratia
Salvation is by grace alone—God's unmerited favor toward sinners who deserve His judgment.
Solus Christus
Christ alone is our mediator, redeemer, and the object of our faith and worship.
Soli Deo Gloria
All things exist for God's glory alone—including this tool and our study of Scripture.
These core theological principles inform how we approach Scripture interpretation and guide the explanations provided through this tool. Our commitment to these foundational truths ensures that all content remains faithful to historic Christian orthodoxy.
