How do we know the Old Testament is inspired by God?

The inspiration of the Old Testament is rooted in its acceptance by the Jewish people as the oracles of God. The Apostle Paul notes that the Jews were entrusted with God's Word, which validates the scriptural authority of these texts. Their acceptance among the Jews, without dispute, reinforces our confidence in the authenticity and divine inspiration of the prophets, including Obadiah. This connection to Jewish tradition provides a solid foundation for viewing the Old Testament as God's inspired message to humanity.
