- All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- The words of the Lord are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. You, O Lord, will keep them; You will preserve him from this generation forever. - Psalm 12:6-7
- But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. - 2 Peter 1:20-21
Inspiration is the work of the Holy Spirit to correctly and adequately transfer God’s truth into a language that may be read and understood by various people. Inspiration is always related to the Bible itself, not an individual, although it is accomplished through human writers. However, God did not merely dictate to the human writers but used them and their styles.
Because the Holy Spirit correctly and adequately transferred God’s Word to humanity, Scripture is both inerrant (i.e., free from error) and infallible. The Word of Truth is free from all flaws and, though debated, has never been proven wrong in any area of history, science, moral issue, or doctrinal matters. Therefore, the Word of God is free of any blemish, dependable, accurate, and trustworthy. It is thus, infallible in everything it teaches.
