THE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE

The lesson explores the inspiration of the Bible, likening it to genuine currency issued by the government, which holds value and power. The Bible's divine origin is supported by miraculous knowledge, evidenced by accurate predictions and remarkable unity across its 66 books penned by diverse authors over centuries. This unity, continuity, and predictive accuracy affirm the Bible's status as the inspired Word of God, distinct from any humanly produced text.
The lesson highlights how the Old and New Testaments harmonize, with the Old anticipating the Messiah and the New fulfilling those prophecies.
