REFLECTIONS FROM THE WESTMINSTER SHORTER CATECHISM

Westminster Shorter Catechism

Question – Why is the written record contained in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, called the Word of God?

Answer – Because it was not from the invention of the men who wrote the Scriptures but from the immediate inspiration of the Spirit of God who inspired and led the human authors to write them.

2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

2 Peter 1:21

No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
