How do we know Scripture is the inspired Word of God?

Believing all things written in Scripture is central to a gospel-centered faith. Paul insists on the non-private interpretation of Scripture, suggesting that its teachings come directly from God and are to be accepted as truth. The Bible claims divine inspiration, as articulated in 2 Timothy 3:16, 'All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.' This affirms its authority, guiding believers to understand and follow God's will rather than their own interpretations.
