The
Bible is the written Word of God. He inspired the words in the Bible
and used approximately 40 different men to write down His words.
These men wrote over a period of 1500 years. The perfect agreement of
these writers is one proof that they were all guided by a single
author. That author was God.
Some of the writers wrote down
exactly what God said while other writers wrote what they experienced
or what God revealed concerning the future. All of the writers wrote
under God's inspiration the words of His message for us.
The
Bible reveals the mystery of God’s plan which is the unifying theme
of the Bible. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Savior of
sinful mankind. Jesus explained how the Old Testament centered on
Him. The Bible reveals God's special purpose which is summarized in
the book of Ephesians.
"Having made known unto us the
mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath
purposed in Himself; That in the dispensation of the fullness of
times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both
which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him; In whom
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according
to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His
own will." - Ephesians 1:9-11
Scriptures Showing That
The Bible is The Word of God:
"For this cause also thank
we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God
which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as
it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in
you that believe." - I Thessalonians 2:13
"All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works." - II Timothy 3:16-17
"Knowing
this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost." - II Peter 1:20-21
