How do we know that the Scriptures are inspired by God?

Answered in 4 sources

We know the Scriptures are inspired because they unified 66 books, written by over 40 authors across centuries, all conveying the same message of God’s redemption.

The Scriptures' inspiration is validated by their coherence and unity despite being written over 1500 years by diverse authors from different backgrounds and cultures. The miraculous harmony among these texts points to their divine authorship; as 2 Timothy 3:16 aptly states, 'All Scripture is inspired by God.' This divine origin means that the Scriptures are not mere human writings but are God-breathed, conveying His truth and purpose for humanity. The cumulative evidence of fulfilled prophecies, the consistent teaching on salvation, and the life-changing power of the Word further attest to its divine inspiration and authority.
