Published by The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the unerring, governing principles of faith and conduct.
2Peter 1:21“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”.
2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
The divine inspiration of the Bible, THE WORD OF GOD. The absolute authority of the Bible on our lives is based on our conviction that this book does not contain only the Word of God, but is the Word of God, in its totality and in each one of its parts. This text gives testimony of her, and describes the real meaning of this inspiration (breath of life) :
1. Is the Word Of The Holy Spirit. Teopneustos (Greek), translated by “inspiration of God”, literally signifies “divine breath”. It describes the source of where proceeds all the Bible (this is, “all the Writing”), like something that transcends the human inspiration. The Bible is not the product of a high human conscience or a visionary intellect, but is directly “inspired” by same God.
2. In 2 Peter 1:20,21 is explained this truth, and is added that nothing of the message of the Writings is born of the private opinion or individual of the writer (v. 20), and that each writer that participate in the production of the Sacred Writings was “moved by” (literally “carried, conducted”) the Holy Spirit. This, nevertheless, he does not signify that the writers to be utilized by God to write as automatons, without his conscious participation. God does not pass over those gifts of the intellect and the sensibility that has given its creatures. (Be alerts and notified in all the cases in which certain individuals demand to write “automatically” any thing, in any time, inasmuch as the Holy Spirit never functions of that way.
2 Peter 1:20,21“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.
3. In 1 Corinthian 2:10-13 abounds around this process by means of which was excused the relation of the Holy Spirit, who moved the respective authors to write, “accommodating the spiritual thing to the spiritual thing” (literally “accommodating spiritual words to spiritual ideas”). This biblical point of view on the origin of the Bible is known like the inspiration verbal plenary session of the Writings, which signifies that each word has been inspired for the Holy Spirit of God. 1 Corinthian 2:10-13 “But God review it by the Spirit; because the Spirit examines all, even the deep thing of God. Because; who of the men knows the things about the man, but the spirit of the man that is in them? Thus did neither nobody know the things of God, but the Spirit of God. And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that God stems from, so that we know what God has granted us, which also we speak, not with words inlets by human wisdom, but with the ones that teaches the Spirit, accommodating the spiritual thing to the spiritual thing.
1 Corinthians 2:10-13“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual thingts with spiritual.
Psalm 19:7“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul” the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The complete integrity of the Bible. THE WORD OF GOD. The one that be mentioned that “the law of Jehovah is perfect”, constitutes a direct reference to the absolute, complete and doubtless integrity of the Sacred Writings. The Word of God is perfect in its certainty and sure in its confiabilidad. Generally two terms are utilized to describe these aspects of the Word of God:
The complete integrity of the Bible:
- Inerrable (perfect), which signifies that in the original copies written by the author or authors of each manuscript, of each one of the books of the Bible, nothing has been affected for the error. (Besides, the excellent protection of the Writings through the centuries assures us that the copies you arrived to our days reproduce essentially the original. Even the literary critics that do not demand faith in the truth of the Bible, they testify that, due to to have remained unalterable and exact, this is the most dependable work of them transmitted since the antiquity.)
- Infallible refers to the fact that the Bible does not fail as absolutely dependable guide for our faith (belief in God) and practical (life and behavior). It itself due to that God is faithful (John 3:33; 17;3), its truthful Word (John 17:17) and cannot lie (Numbers 23:19; Titus1:2; Heb 6:18).
1 Peter 1:10-12 “Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and search diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven: which things the angels desire to look into”.
Although the prophets of the OT had an incomplete vision of the events that surrounded the arrival of Christ, they anticipated, thanks to the Spirit, this salvation that the Christians now have and also in the future they experienced.
1 Th 2:13” 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.”
It acts, energeo; one of the four large words to appoint the energy: energeo, energes, energeia and energema. All they are derive from in, “in”, and ergon, “work”, and they have to do with the to do actively or the capacity of work and their results.
1. It receives the message and the teachings as Word of God! Refuse to receive the Writing as just a human opinion, and avoids to deny its authority or to annular its efficacy for the growth of your life.
2. The person of faith prays so that God show its power in the church of today. The faith is capable of receiving the Word of God through the human lips, believing in the capacity of God to utilize those instruments. And the faith looks toward before in direction to the promise that the Lord will come for the second time to consummate the work of the salvation.
1Peter 1:23“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
The regenerative power of the Word of God.
Exactly equal to as we owe our natural existence to the word spoken of the Creator and to the breath of life that inspire in us, thus also our new birth itself due to the Word of God and to the activation of the power of the Holy Spirit. The intention of God as for ours to be created complies fully alone when our spirits itself enliven in its presence. As well as the sin has produced spiritual death (Ef 2:1-3), the salvation in Christ Jesus has provided spiritual life. This versicle tell us that the “seed” that has produced new life in us is the Word of God, which has allowed us to be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5) and has allowed us to be members of the new creation of God.
(2 Corinthian 5:17) The power of the Word of God – the Sacred Writings -, is declared above all the things in this: gives spiritual life to all the ones that receive its truth.
James 1:18 refers to the fact that “the truly word ” is the middle by which The new life gave us, emphasizing to that has done it thus, like expression of its own will. The will of God to save us (2 Peter 3:9) has been efficiently aforesaid in Its Word, which carries out that work (John 1:13).
Ephesians 2:1-3 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our convertion in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others”.
Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Ho’ly Ghost
2 Conrinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”.
James :18“Of his own wll begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures”.
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not stack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”.
John 1:13 “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
Aye! Amen! The Holy Bible is the Word of God! Thank you for this good article.
There are some things in it you might want to tweak and correct. For example, 99 percent is in English, but you have 2 Pedro mentioned. Iknow that’s 2 Peter, but others might not.
In another line you have what might be a typo where you mentioned the prophets of the AT. I think you meant OT.
Notwithstanding, aye, yes, every word of the Holy Bible was directly inspired by God.
Accepting that by faith can bring a lot of light and power into one’s life.
BTW, I am a minister.
Amen, many blessings.
