What About the Book?
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” II Timithy 3:16
“But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” II Peter 1:21
“Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse declares, ‘And the man who was raised on high declares, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, ‘The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me. He who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God.” II Samuel 23:1-3
By inspired, we mean that the Holy Spirit exerted His supernatural influence upon the writers of the Bible. Therefore, the Scriptures are God-inspired word for word. By this we mean that every word, in the original, is fully and equally inspire in all off its teachings. The Bible does not just contain the Word of God. It is the Word of God.
The writers of the Bible did not write by natural inspiration, or an act of the human will. “men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God’.
For each of us we can rest and be assured in the truth of God’s Word.
1. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible.
2. Man is the instrument used by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible.
3. Result: God’s Word is infallible.
Therefore, the Bible is free from error and absolutely trustworthy. Now we just have to set aside time to read it.

NOTES: I choose to believe the Bible because it's a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place before, of specific prophecies; and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.
The Five Solas: Individuals are saved by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone, as revealed by Scripture alone to the glory of God alone!
