The God-Breathed Book Part 2
2 Timothy 3:16
This is the phrase we are considering, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. A more literal translation would be-all Scripture is God-breathed.
That little phrase sets before us the inspiration of the Bible-the Good Book. The Good Book, the Best Book, the Greatest Book, the Only Book. We are told that this Book-the Bible is God-breathed. We are finding three main areas of thought in this little phrase, starting at the end of the phrase and moving forward-all Scripture is God- breathed. That sets before us the supernatural inspiration of the Bible. It is only about the Bible that it can be said, ''This is a God-breathed book.'' God breathed into this book. God used human authors. II Peter 1:21 says, holy (specially set apart men of God) spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The word, moved, there carries the beautiful picture of a sailing vessel being blown along by a gentle breeze or wind.
This verse sets before us the supernatural inspiration of the Bible. All Scripture is God-breathed. The middle word, there, scripture, sets before the verbal inspiration of the Bible. We'll continue that thought in a moment.
The first word, all, sets before us the total inspiration of the Bible. ALL scripture is God-breathed. Supernatural inspiration-God breathed. Verbal inspiration-all Scripture. The word, Scripture, obviously is making reference to the words. we have talked about the concept of verbal inspiration and how that God communicates to us through the words of Scripture. Words are vehicles of communication. We communicate to one another by means of words. when I use words I communicate to your mind and heart what is in my mind and heart. We are told specifically that the Bible-the Good Book, the Scripture-is the literal Word of God. In the Old Testament you will find phrases like this: God said, thus saith the Lord. Phrases like that occur over 3,800 times in the Old Testame ...
