What is the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Scripture?
Answered in 1 source
The Holy Spirit plays a key role in inspiring Scripture and helping believers understand and recall God’s words.
The relationship between the Holy Spirit and Scripture is foundational within sovereign grace theology, as the Spirit not only inspired the authors of Scripture but also illuminates the minds of believers to understand and apply the truths contained within the Bible. 2 Peter 1:21 states that ‘no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.’ This underscores the divine origin of Scripture. Furthermore, in passages like John 14:26, Jesus explains that the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, will teach the disciples and remind them of all that He has said. This active participation of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers ensures that they have access to truth and guidance in their daily walk.
