What does it mean that Scripture is breathed out by God?

Answered in 1 source

To say Scripture is breathed out by God means it is divinely inspired and authoritative.

The phrase 'breathed out by God' (2 Timothy 3:16) highlights the doctrine of divine inspiration, indicating that the authors of Scripture were guided by the Holy Spirit in their writings. This concept assures us that the Bible is not merely a human work but a direct communication from God Himself. The authority of Scripture is rooted in the belief that its contents are infallible and serve as the highest standard for faith and conduct. As believers, this understanding solidifies our confidence that when we read Scripture, we are encountering the very words of God, which have the power to convict, instruct, and transform.
