How do we know that scripture is inspired and authoritative?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible is recognized as inspired and authoritative because it is God-breathed and reveals His will to humanity.

The inspiration and authority of Scripture are critical doctrines within Reformed theology, establishing the Bible as the ultimate rule of faith and practice. 2 Timothy 3:16 states, 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.' This affirmation of biblical inspiration means that the Scriptures are not merely human writings but divinely authored, allowing them to serve as God's revelation to humanity. Furthermore, the consistent fulfillment of biblical prophecy and the transformative power of the Gospel in the lives of believers serve as additional confirmation of its divine origin and authority. The authority of Scripture also means that it must be our primary guide in all matters of faith and conduct, reinforcing the importance of being under the sound of the gospel, as the preacher emphasized.
