The divine inspiration of the Bible is evident in its unique portrayal of God's character and the prophetic accuracy contained within its texts.
One strong internal proof of the Bible’s divine inspiration is its unparalleled capacity to teach a noble and honorable perspective of God. Compared to ancient philosophical texts, which often relied on human reason, the Bible offers a direct revelation of God's nature through His prophets. For instance, the descriptive language in Isaiah's writings regarding God's sovereignty and glory surpasses the moral and spiritual insights found in other historical literature. The coherence and prophetic accuracy throughout Scripture—foreshadowing events and connecting historical accounts with spiritual truths—further illustrate the divine hand guiding its writing. As seen in passages like 2 Peter 1:21, 'For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,' confirming the authoritative nature of the Scriptures.
