The Inspiration of the Bible
Introduction
The author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit; the pages of the Bible are authoritative revelation in written form of God's nature and purposes.
The Bible is the source book of our Knowledge of God; it is the textbook of divine truth; the guide book to everlasting life.
the word "Bible" is derived from the Greek word "biblos" meaning "a book. " The volume is known is known by other title such as "the Scriptures"; "the Writings"; The Word of God; Luke 4:17; 2 Corinthians 3:14; Mark 12:10; Matthew 22:29; Hebrews 4:12.
The Bible is a library of 66 books, divided into two main sections; the Old Testament containing 39 books and the New Testament containing 27 books.
The Bible was written by 36- 40 authors over a period of 1600 years and by different types of people in different parts of the world.
The unique design of the Bible is one of the best proof of its divine inspiration. For so many different men to write a book without contradictions is a miracle.
The miracle can be explained by the Master Author's guiding hand.
The cardinal theme of the Bible is Christ who becomes the key to understanding it.
The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, with parts of Daniel and Ezra being written in Aramaic; New Testament was written in Greek.
The True Explanation- Plenary or Full Inspiration
We believe that all Scriptures is equally inspired basing it's claim on.
2 Timothy 3:16
(The Revised Version of 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture that is divinely inspired is also profitable, "This is incorrect, for is teaches partial inspiration.)
We do not actually know the "how" of inspiration but we believe that each writer had liberty to use his own personality, education, experience with certain limits.
The Holy Spirit guarded each thought, each phrase, each word to preserve accuracy.
Conclusion
(We accept the scripture as the infallible Word of God, the canon of 66 books as complete: we do not recognize the Apocrypha or any other books to be inspired.)
Make the Bible constant guide and companion in life.
The Word of God; it is worthy of being believed.
Breathe a prayer for the Holy Spirit to help you understand the sacred
pages.
The Word of God, if neglected, will be our Judge at the last day, John 12:48.
Lord teach me to treasure this volume highly; to defend it when necessary and make me bold to proclaim the whole counsel of God
