How do we know the Scriptures are inspired by God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Scriptures are considered inspired because Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, affirming their divine origin.

The inspiration of Scripture is affirmed in 2 Peter 1:21, which states that 'holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.' This means that the very words recorded in Scripture are not merely human thoughts but divinely authorized proclamations. The doctrine of plenary and verbal inspiration indicates that all parts of Scripture are equally and fully God's Word, encompassing every detail from Genesis to Revelation.
