Title
Is the Bible Truly God's Word?
Scripture
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,”(2 Timothy 3:16)

Let’s say, for the sake of honest debate, that the Bible is just another book. However, we cannot do so without ignoring that it has been the world’s most influential book of all time. Laws and governments have been formed by it. Countless lives have been changed by it. Language, grammar, history and literature have been birthed by it. For these reasons alone, it is worth the study. Now to study this book called the Bible we have to consider what it says about itself. What are its claims? Think about this: sixty-six books were written over a fifteen-hundred year period, by some forty different authors, kings and carpenters, shepherds and fisherman. Its subject matter is most controversial: religion, finances, sex and politics—yet without contradiction. As our text clearly states, the Bible declares that it is the inspired Word of God.Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Scriptures, is dedicated to the proclamation of the Bible truly being God’s Word. Consider these few verses of its 176: “Your word is settled in heaven,” Psalm 119:89. “Your word is very pure,” Psalm 119:140. “The entirety of Your word is truth,” Psalm 119:160.
