How do we know that the Bible is divinely inspired?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible's clear prophecies and their precise fulfillments throughout history demonstrate its divine inspiration.

The inspiration of the Bible is evident through its prophecies and their fulfillment, which are marked by clarity and specificity that distinguish it from vague predictions of other writings. For instance, Matthew emphasizes throughout his Gospel how the events in Jesus' life fulfill Old Testament prophecies, illustrating that these scriptural declarations were not mere coincidences but divinely orchestrated occurrences. The fulfillment of prophesies about Christ's birthplace (Micah 5:2) and the consequences of Herod's actions (Jeremiah 31:15) serve as irrefutable evidence of the Bible's divine origin, as it lays out a coherent narrative of redemption. The conviction that Scripture is the infallible Word of God is foundational to our faith, as it provides the basis for doctrine, worship, and conduct, embodying God's revelations to humanity.
