What does the Bible say about revelation from God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that prophecy is not of private interpretation but divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit according to 2 Peter 1:20-21.

The Bible, as presented in 2 Peter 1:20-21, claims to be the authoritative revelation of God. This means that scripture is not merely the subjective interpretations of men but the result of holy men being moved by the Holy Spirit. Understanding this claim is essential; if the Bible is not God's word, then it loses its worth as a spiritual guide for humanity.

Additionally, acknowledging the necessity of divine revelation helps establish the Bible as that revelation. The argument from necessity illustrates that just as God provides for every physical need in creation, He has likewise made provision for our spiritual necessities through His word. Given that our souls are just as needy as our bodies, it stands to reason that God would provide for the spiritual nourishment that sustains us in life and faith, confirming the vital role of scripture in our relationship with Him.
