How do we know that the Bible is the Word of God?

Answered in 6 sources

We know the Bible is God's Word because it clearly testifies to itself and has been received as His truth by believers throughout history.

The Bible identifies itself as God's Word, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 2:13, where it states that it is received as the Word of God. The authoritative nature of Scripture derives from divine inspiration; it claims to reveal God’s will to humanity, as many authors of Scripture assert that they were speaking God's words (as stated in Psalm 68). Additionally, Jesus Himself affirmed the authority of the Scriptures, proclaiming them as essential for knowing Him and understanding salvation (Luke 24:27). The living impact of the Word of God on believers also attests to its divine origin, as it continues to transform lives today.
