  2. The Holy Spirit Pt. 3 Inspiration 66 books 39 + 27 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17. That the man of God may be complete, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Tim. 3:16-17

  3. 3 Attitudes aboutInspiration • Human production • No inspired literature • No hope Not Inspired • Who Decides • Bible does not tell which part • Would require an inspired man Part is Inspired • Bible Claims this • Verbal Inspiration • “God spoke” “The Lord has spoken” more than 3,800 Whole is Inspired

  4. 1. Two Elements in Inspiration God’s Part Man’s Part • Divine element • Revelation • His thoughts, will, way • His Truth • Man not angels • Men to man – 2 Cor. 4:7 • Human language • Works through men

  5. 2. Meaning of Inspiration • Breathe In - God breathed • English - from Latin = blow or breathe into • “Inspiration means that influence which God exercises through the Holy Spirit over the minds of Biblical writers to make them infallible in the receiving and recording of His will.” • Bible written by men influenced by the Holy Spirit (Jn. 16:13)

  6. 2. Meaning of Inspiration • Enabled writers to receive and express revelation • Did not create the material, the truth • Guided the writer in expressing the truth • All written communications were through humans • No angel ever wrote anything preserved in the Bible

  7. 3. Inspiration in Revelation Revelation - “unveiling” that which is revealed - Unveiling the truth - 1 Cor. 2:10 “God has revealed them to us through His Spirit” - It is the word of God expressed in human language God, through the Holy Spirit, illuminates the mind of man with His thoughts and enables man to express those thoughts, and when expressed, they become revelation.

  8. 3. Inspiration in Revelation All revelation is inspired, but not all inspired material is revelation. Revelation - that which could not be known Inspiration - method of keeping free from errors Revelation & InspirationInspiration

  9. 3. Inspiration in Revelation Primitive Revelation - Patriarchal - to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob Covenant Revelation - Jewish Dispensation – God revealed through Moses Christian Revelation - Christian Dispensation - Heb. 1:1-2 - Jn. 16:13

  10. 3. Inspiration in Revelation Revelation Given to Man - Made to man for man - Inspired to record the revelation Work of the Holy Spirit - Eph. 6:17 - Men could not have written - 2 Tim. 3:16-17

  11. 4. Verbal Inspiration LK. 12:11-12 - what = the thought - how = the words or manner of expression Matt. 5:18 “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” 1 Cor. 2:13 “These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” Words and Thoughts

  12. 4. Verbal Inspiration • Kept their personal styles • - Hebrew - Greek • - Educated - uneducated • Not just mechanical - like a robot • - Luke was a physician • - Lk. 18:25 “needle” • Limitations of inspiration • - Not omniscient - 1 Cor. 1:16 • - Not immune to bodily afflictions – 2 Cor. 11 • - Not incapable of sinning – (Peter)

  13. 5. Evidences of Inspiration 1. Anticipated departures from faith - 1 Tim. 4:1-3 2. Up-to-date with Scientific Knowledge - Jer. 33:22 – “stars cannot be numbered” - Job 26:7 – “hangs earth on nothing” - Isa. 40:2 - “circle of the earth” 3. Impartiality in describing human character 4. Does not cater to human curiosity - Jn. 8:1-8 - People raised from the dead

  14. 5. Evidences of Inspiration 5. Unity of the Bible - 66 books, 40 different authors, different countries, same purpose, subject matter, agreement 6. Prophecies - Joshua 6:26 - rebuilding of Jericho Foundation = firstborn Gates = youngest - 1 Kings 16:34 - came true 550 years later

  15. Pt. 2 Inspiration “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Pet. 1:20-21
