Bible Verses About Scripture Being Inspired by God
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
The Bible corrects our distorted human perspectives, exposing proud attitudes and incorrect assumptions. It cautions us about the dangers of sinning and the consequences of sin. It emphasizes the issue of our inherited sin nature and reminds us that we have everything we need for life and godliness in Christ.
The God of love, who will rescue us by faith, is also a God of justice and righteousness, who will judge the wicked and condemn the unrighteous, according to God’s Words. After a chapter warning of the tough days ahead for the Body of Christ, Paul reveals this stunning fact about the God-breathed Scriptures to Timothy in his final letter before his death.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe .
In this line, Paul expresses his unending thanks for the Thessalonian Christians’ trust in response to his preaching. They regarded what he said as God’s Word rather than man’s. Paul recognized that God’s Word had taken root in their hearts and was generating spiritual fruit. This sentence builds on Paul’s remarks at the beginning of the letter, in which he also mentioned his “continuous” mention of the Thessalonians in his prayers.
Summary of the Situation
Paul gives appreciation for the Christians in Thessalonica in First Thessalonians 2:13–16. They had reacted favorably to God’s Word, and the Word had borne fruit in their lives. By enduring tribulation, they had become like the Judean believers. Those who oppose the gospel, Paul reminds his audience, will face God’s vengeance.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
This indicates the Bible is more than a book—it is alive! Because God created the Bible with his own power, the words in it are unlike any other words. There were such powerful prophets in the Old Testament that when they spoke, people died as a result of their utterances!
As a result, God’s words are powerful and capable of cutting through any obstacle. They have the ability to pierce our hearts and reveal what we need to change about ourselves. We must pay close attention to what God says in his Word.
Romans 15:4 ~
“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”
Romans 15:4
This verse was often mentioned to me as a child, especially when folks were outraged about anything. “If the Bible says it, you have to believe it!” seemed to be the day’s slogan. But it wasn’t until I was older and began to think more critically about the Bible that I began to consider what this verse actually meant.
Now, I adore the Bible; I believe it is a lovely compilation of writings from many different individuals who lived in many different ages and cultures. It’s not ideal, but it’s an excellent starting point for questions like “How did they comprehend this?” “How would it improve my life if I lived like that?” “Can I learn anything from them?” These are good questions to ask of any text—and they’re good questions to ask of any text.
2 Peter 1:20-21~
“Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
2 Peter 1:20-21~
Peter is assisting in the definition of the character of Scripture in this section. He’s implying that prophecy does not originate from a person’s own interpretation of events, but rather from the Holy Spirit prompting individuals to speak and record God’s truth. The source of Scripture is God himself, not a human.
Because we have received the prophetic word, we may know these things. God offers us wisdom and faith when we spend time with Him and study His Word. And when we are faithful to Him, He blesses us with everything we desire.
1 Corinthians 2:13-14
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches.] But he who is spiritual judges all things…the things freely given us by God
Paul is describing how God’s “words” are not like a language we can acquire, but rather something that only those who have been filled with God’s spirit can comprehend. He is pushing believers to express spiritual matters using “spirit-taught words.”
This verse is significant to me because it tells me that I should never be afraid to share my beliefs with others. People sometimes make me feel as if my spiritual beliefs are foolish or out of touch. But I know that as long as I’m following the Holy Spirit’s lead, I shouldn’t be scared to communicate what’s on my mind to others.
knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
John 10:35
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
This line appears in John 10, where Jesus is teaching his identification as the Messiah to his disciples. He inquires if they believe what Moses wrote about him—Moses said that everyone was created by God and hence was a god. Moses acknowledged Jesus’ divinity by naming him a god. In this verse, Jesus clarifies that when Moses proclaimed all humans gods, he meant exactly what he said—the Bible does not lie or make mistakes.
So, even though we don’t feel like gods right now and think we’re just ordinary people, this verse reminds us that we have the ability to discover our divinity and live up to our full potential as God’s offspring.
Luke 24:44-45
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
– Luke 24:44-45
In this text, Jesus reveals to the disciples how his life and death fulfilled all of the Old Testament prophesies.
“Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
He urges them that they must tell everyone worldwide about these things. He claims that anyone who believes in him would be forgiven of their sins because of his name. He claims that repentance and restoration are available to everyone and that this is the good news he wants them to spread.
Bible verses about biblical inspiration
Psalm 19:1.
The heavens reveal the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands
– Psalm 19:1.
David is discussing the creation of the universe in this verse. He’s claiming that you can see evidence of God’s existence whenever you gaze up into the sky.
He’s made it plain that he exists, and his message will be understood no matter where you are in the world or what language you speak.
Job 38:4
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundations?”
Job 38:4.
In this portion, God questions Job about his knowledge of creation, as he is suffering much and wondering why he is being punished (despite the fact that he has been a nice man): Job, God reminds him, was not present at creation and thus has no understanding of it.
Psalm 16:11.
You make plain to me the road of life,
– Psalm 16:11.
This Psalm 16 verse is one of those gems that can rekindle our faith when we’re going through a difficult period.
We can’t always see what’s ahead of us, and it’s easy to lose hope if we don’t understand why we’re experiencing difficulties.
However, this verse reminds us that God has a plan for us and that our suffering has a purpose. We may not be able to see it right now, but we will later, and everything will make sense.

Why is the Bible inspired by God
God inspired the Bible, and it tells us that. “All Scripture is inspired by God,” wrote the apostle Paul.
(Titus 2:16) The Bible also claims that God “breathed” the breath of life into the first man, Adam.
(Genesis 2:7; 2:8; 2:9; 2:20; 2: Jehovah also assisted devoted folks in the past in writing divinely inspired scriptures. (
See 2 Peter 1:11) But how did ancient people know that what they were writing was from God?
Take a look at the men who penned the Bible. Some, like David and Solomon, were kings. Others, like Isaiah and Ezekiel, were prophets. Others worked as tax collectors or fishermen. These individuals, however, had one thing in common: they were all Jehovah’s lowly servants. —Luke 7:32-35; James 1:5, 6; Revelation 14:6-8; Luke 7:32-35; James 1:5, 6; Revelation 14:6-8.
Consider why these folks penned down their views in the first place. Some of them may have wanted to leave a legacy for future generations or to have their names published. However, the vast majority of them had no such intention. Instead, they obediently followed Jehovah’s order to record his words for humanity. —Exodus 17:14; John 20:31; Exodus 17:14;
