“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 (Jn. 16:13)

Enabled writers to receive and express revelation
Did not create the material, the truth

All written communications were through humans
No angel ever wrote anything preserved in the Bible

Revelation- “unveiling” that which is revealed- Unveiling the truth- 1 Cor. 2:10 “God has revealed them to us through His Spirit”- It is the word of God expressed in human language
3.
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.
All revelation is inspired, but not all inspired material is revelation.
Revelation - that which could not be knownInspiration - method of keeping free from errors

Matt. 5:18 “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”
1 Cor. 2:13 “These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
4.
Kept their personal styles- Hebrew - Greek- Educated - uneducated
Not just mechanical - like a robot- Luke was a physician- Lk. 18:25 “needle”
Limitations of inspiration- Not omniscient - 1 Cor. 1:16- Not immune to bodily afflictions – 2 Cor. 11- Not incapable of sinning – (Peter)

1. Anticipated departures from faith- 1 Tim. 4:1-3
2. Up-to-date with Scientific Knowledge- Jer. 33:22 – “stars cannot be numbered”- Job 26:7 – “hangs earth on nothing”- Isa. 40:2 - “circle of the earth”
3. Impartiality in describing human character
4. Does not cater to human curiosity- Jn. 8:1-8- People raised from the dead

5. Unity of the Bible - 66 books, 40 different authors, different countries, same purpose, subject matter, agreement
6. Prophecies - Joshua 6:26 - rebuilding of Jericho
Foundation = firstborn Gates = youngest
- 1 Kings 16:34 - came true 550 years later
5.
“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
2 Pet. 1:20-21
