  1. The Holy Spirit Pt. 3 Inspiration 66 books 39 + 27 2 Tim. 3:16,17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;” 1 Pet. 4:11a

  2. Three Attitudes aboutInspiration • Human production • No inspired literature • No hope Not Inspired • Who Decides • Bible does not tell which part • Would require an inspired man Part is Inspired • Bible Claims this • Verbal Inspiration • “God spake” “The Lord hath spoken” more than 3,800 Whole is Inspired

  3. Two Elements in Inspiration God’s Part Man’s Part • Divine element • Revelation • His thoughts, will, way • His Truth • Man not angels • Men to man • Human language • Works through men

  4. Meaning of Inspiration • Breathe In - God breathed • English - from Latin = blow or breathe into • “Inspiration means that influence which God exercises through the Holy Spirit over the minds of Biblical writers to make them infallible in the receiving and recording of his will.” • Bible written by men influenced by the Holy Spirit.

  5. Meaning of Inspiration • Enabled writers to receive and express revelation • Did not create the material, the truth • Guided the writer in expressing the truth • All written communications were through humans

  6. Inspiration in Revelation Revelation “unveiling” that which is revealed Unveiling the truth It is the word of God expressed in human language God through the Holy Spirit illuminates the mind of man with his thoughts and enables man to express those thoughts, and when expressed they become revelation.

  10. Verbal Inspiration Words and thoughts Luke 12:11-12 what = the thought how = the words or manner of expression Matt. 5:18 “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
