16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Ask:
Who is the source of Scripture?
Does it say "some Scripture" or "all Scripture"?
Explain
"God breathed" doesn't mean God literally breathed onto paper.
It means every word came from God Himself.
The Bible has many human writers, but one divine Author.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
89 Forever, O Lord, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

God Used Men to Write It
God Used Men to Write It
Read
20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Explain
Around forty different men wrote the Bible.
They were:
Kings
Shepherds
Fishermen
Prophets
Doctors
Tax collectors
Yet all wrote exactly what God intended.
They did not invent the message.
The Holy Spirit guided them.
Read
9 Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,
“Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
These show God using people to record His truth.

Everything God Says Is True
Everything God Says Is True
Read
19 God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
160 The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
Ask
Can God lie?
If God cannot lie...
Can His Word contain lies?
No.
Because God is perfect, His Word is perfect.

The Bible Tells Us About Jesus
The Bible Tells Us About Jesus
Read
27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Explain
The Bible isn't a collection of random stories.
Every part points to Jesus.
Even the Old Testament prepares us for Him.

Why Did God Give Us the Bible?
Why Did God Give Us the Bible?
Read
4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Explain
God gave us Scripture so we can:
Know Him
Know Jesus
Know the Gospel
Grow in holiness
Live wisely

Ask
If someone asked,
"How can I be forgiven?"
Where would we find the answer?
The Bible.
Read
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
The Bible tells us our biggest problem and God's only solution.
