How do we know the Scriptures are inspired by God?

The belief in the inspiration of the Scriptures is rooted in passages like 2 Timothy 3:16, which states that 'all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.' This presents the Scripture not merely as human writings but as divinely inspired. Just as believers acknowledge God’s sovereign power in creation—creating the universe without assistance—so too can we trust God’s ability to inspire the Scriptures without error. If God is powerful enough to create all things, He is also able to guide and preserve His Word over centuries, ensuring its truth and authority over human opinion.
