How do we know the doctrine of inspiration is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The doctrine of inspiration asserts that the Holy Spirit guided the writing of Scripture, ensuring it is the Word of God without error.

The doctrine of plenary inspiration holds that every part of the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, making it the perfect Word of God. Luke's assurance that he wrote with a 'perfect understanding' highlights the significance of divine inspiration. As stated in 2 Peter 1:21, 'Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,' asserting the supernatural guidance that prevents any error in the biblical text. This doctrine encourages believers to trust in the Scriptures as entirely reliable and authoritative for faith and practice.
