What does the Bible say about its own authority?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible claims complete authority as the inspired Word of God, as evidenced in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

The Bible asserts its own authority through multiple passages that emphasize its divine origin and inspiration. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul writes that 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.' This means that every part of Scripture is breathed out by God and serves as the ultimate authority for faith and practice. The way the various authors, despite their different backgrounds and historical contexts, cohesively contribute to the same message—redemption through Christ—further demonstrates its authority and the work of the Holy Spirit in its compilation.
