The inspiration of the Bible is the last topic of our eight-part series entitled “Putting the Fun in…”. We have put fun into the fundamentals or essential doctrines of Christianity. “Inspiration” refers to the Holy Spirit carrying along the authors to write the very words of God.

2:01 - Inspiration is a mystery. But we know the Holy Spirit “carried along” each author (2 Pet.1:21).

5:14 - Jesus promised the New Testament’s inspiration through the Holy Spirit when he said “[T]he Holy Spirit … will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you” (John 14: 26).
6:04 - New Testament writers also confirm its inspiration. Peter writes, “[O]ur beloved brother Paul also wrote to you … as he does in all his letters … There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.” (2 Peter 3:15-16).
