  17. John 17:17Contemporary English Version (CEV) Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours. God’s Word is Truth

  18. Truth = Revelation = Christ

  19. 2 Samuel 23:2 "The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; his word was on my tongue." INSPIRATION

  20. Isaiah 59:21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the LORD. INSPIRATION

  21. Job 32:8 New King James Version (NKJV) But there is a spirit in man,And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. INSPIRATION

  22. Hebrews 3:7-10Contemporary English Version (CEV) A Rest for God's People It is just as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today, don't be stubborn! Don't rebel like those people who were tested in the desert. For forty years your ancestors tested God and saw the things he did. "Then God got tired of them and said, `You people never show good sense, and you don't understand what I want you to do.' INSPIRATION

  23. Hebrews 9:6-8Contemporary English Version (CEV) But this is how everything was when the priests went each day into the first part of the tent to do their duties. However, only the high priest could go into the second part of the tent, and he went in only once a year. Each time he carried blood to offer for his sins and for any sins that the people had committed without meaning to. All of this is the Holy Spirit's way of saying that no one could enter the most holy place while the tent was still the place of worship. INSPIRATION

  24. Hebrews 10:15-17Contemporary English Version (CEV) The Holy Spirit also speaks of this by telling us that the Lord said, "When the time comes, I will make an agreement with them. I will write my laws on their minds and hearts. Then I will forget about their sins and no longer remember their evil deeds." INSPIRATION

  25. Acts 1:16 Contemporary English Version (CEV) He said: My friends, long ago by the power of the Holy Spirit, David said something about Judas, and what he said has now happened. Judas was one of us and had worked with us, but he brought the mob to arrest Jesus. INSPIRATION

  26. 2 Peter 1:20-21New International Version (NIV) Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 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. INSPIRATION

  27. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 New International Version (NIV) 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. INSPIRATION

  28. Why is it so important to affirm that the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the Bible? JF Walvoord “The Holy Spirit: A Comprehensive Study of the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit” "... inspiration guarantees accuracy and gives divine authority ..." INSPIRATION

  29. "A proper statement of meaning of inspiration is ... that God so supernaturally directed the writers of the Scripture that without excluding their human intelligence, their individuality, their literary style, their personal feelings, or any other human factor, His own complete and coherent message to man was recorded in perfect accuracy, the very words of Scripture bearing the authority of divine authorship."

  30. The work of inspiration was not accomplished by an impersonal force, by a law of nature, or by providence alone; but the immanent Holy Spirit, working in the hearts and affairs of men, (revealing) ... the truth of God ... bearing in its pages the unmistakable evidences that the hands which inscribed them were guided by the unwavering, infinitely wise, unfailing Holy Spirit.

  31. Why is it so important to affirm that the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the Bible? Accepting that the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the Bible gives to our faith confidence in the Word of God. Confidence in the Word of God is essential to faith and life. INSPIRATION

  32. Hebrews 4:12 New International Version (NIV) 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. ILLUMINATION

  33. 1 Corinthians 2:14 New International Version (NIV) The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. ILLUMINATION

  34. John 10:27 New King James Version (NKJV) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ILLUMINATION

  35. Colossians 3:16 The Message Let the Word of Christ – the Message – have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. ILLUMINATION
