# 1. THE INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURES
•The inspired Word of God: The Scriptures, both the Old and New
Testaments, are verbally inspired by God and are the revelation of God to
man—the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy
3:15–17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
•2 Peter 1: 21, “For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but
prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by
the Holy Spirit.”
•2 Timothy 3: 16-17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the
servant of God[a]may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
