The Word of God is the truly inspired message that God brought to us through human writers. The apostle Peter further proclaimed: “For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21). The words written in God’s Word were inspired by God upon men via His Holy Spirit. They were written by men, but their thoughts were governed by God. God could have placed a pristine copy of His Word in the Library of Congress, penned by His own hand. But instead, He chose to reveal Himself through the thoughts of men.
