SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK

2Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching,for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

2Peter 1:21 For no prophecy [of Scripture] was ever borne by the will of man, but men spoke from God while being borne by the Holy Spirit.

The reason that the Bible is different from all other books is that its nature is divine. The Scripture is God-breathed. This tells us that the Scripture did not come out of man's thought, man's mind, but, rather, it was God's breathing His thought and His word through His Spirit into and out of the writers. Hence, the Bible contains God's element and carries His flavor. A Christian's greatest joy and blessing is to be able to contact God and taste Him daily through the word of His breath.

Since the Scripture is God's breathing His word out from men through His Sprit, no word of the Scripture can be of man's will; rather, men were borne by the Spirit and spoke from God. The word "men spoke form God while being borne by the Holy Spirit" has a twofold meaning: first, men spoke from God. In the original Greek, being borne by the Holy Spirit refers to being carried along like a ship by the wind. The writers of the Bible received God's inspiration, and they were under the power of the Holy Spirit, being borne and carried along by Him to speak out God's word. Furthermore, when they spoke, they spoke from within God. It was the Spirit of God carrying men along to speak, and it was also men speaking form within God. In other words, it was God speaking His own word form within men through their mouth.
