How do we know the doctrine of inspiration is true?

The truth of the doctrine of inspiration is rooted in 2 Peter 1:21, which states that 'holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.' This assures us that the entirety of Scripture is God-breathed and accurate, regardless of the authors' direct experiences. While some writers were firsthand witnesses, such as John and Peter, others like Moses and Paul wrote under divine inspiration yet did not witness the events they described. The consistency and transformative power of Scripture across ages stand as evidential support for its divine origin.
