Question:
Who wrote the Bible?
Answer:
God used certain chosen men to write down exactly what He wanted in His Word. II Peter 1:20,21 says, “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.”
When God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life, man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 says, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
In the same way, the Bible says that God INSPIRED His Word. II Timothy 3:16,17 says, “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.” The word “inspiration” means, “God-breathed.” When God breathed His Word through these holy men of old, it was not a dead book, but the LIVING WORD OF GOD. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
