THE NATURE OF THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD

✏️ Every word in the Bible in the original languages, as penned by the prophets, apostles and others, is divinely inspired. God mysteriously brought each historic event and conversation to pass through His sovereign power and wisdom and infallibly authored how they were recorded in the Bible through His human instruments. The human writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to write every word God intended.
