Open in your Bible to 2 Timothy 3:16. The book you now hold is unlike any other in the world. ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God…’
God tells us this revelation, this inspired book is the very breath of God. Theopneustos is the word in Greek that stands behind the English words…pasa (all) graphe (scripture) theo (god) pneustos (breathed). In 1941 an English scholar named J.B. Phillips began a new translation of an old piece of literature. He got much more than he planned on when he connected with the new testament for war-torn England. His testimony is in the preface to the Phillips New testament :
“First, I was continually struck by the living quality of the material I worked on. Some will no doubt consider it superstitious reverence for the “Holy writ”, yet again and again I felt rather like an electrician rewiring an ancient house without being able to ‘turn the mains off”. I feel this fact is worth recording.
Secondly, I was struck by the extraordinary unanimity of the letters. In different ways from their different angles, they are talking about the same thing. In conclusion, maybe if we believed what they did it would affect us!”
There are 3,000 pages of material printed every 60 seconds in the USA. In that mountain of information only one book is:
“God-breathed”
All the Scripture are God-breathed
