Who wrote the Bible?

God used men to write the Bible and had them say exactly what He wanted.

God gave the Bible to speak to us, so it's called "God's Word." Every word in the Bible's 66 smaller books comes from God. But He used many people to write His Word. The books of the Bible were written during hundreds of years by special people God chose, such as Moses, David, and Paul. God made sure the writers wrote everything He wanted them to say, without mistakes. He also made sure that all the writers taught the same message and ideas.

Through the years, God has kept the Bible safe from being changed or messed up. Every word is true and helpful. The Bible is a precious gift from God. By reading it, we can know God and His plan for us.

Bible Truth

• "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
  
  
• "When we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not telling just clever stories that someone invented. But we saw the greatness of Jesus with our own eyes. Jesus heard the voice of God, the Greatest Glory, when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice said, 'This is my Son, whom I love, and I am very pleased with him.' We heard that voice from heaven while we were with Jesus on the holy mountain. This makes us more sure about the message the prophets gave. It is good for you to follow closely what they said as you would follow a light shining in a dark place, until the day begins and the morning star rises in your hearts. Most of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in the Scriptures ever comes from the prophet's own interpretation. No prophecy ever came from what a person wanted to say, but people led by the Holy Spirit spoke words from God" (2 Peter 1:16-21, NCV).
