Could Every Word in the Bible Be Directly from God? What Jesus Believed Will Shock You #Truth #Faith — Transcript

1. 0:00Does the Bible really claim to have
2. 0:01divine authority? The Bible doesn't just
3. 0:04speak about God. It speaks as from God.
4. 0:08Its very language and structure claim to
5. 0:10reflect the authority of the divine.
6. 0:13Jesus himself affirmed this throughout
7. 0:15his ministry. He declared that scripture
8. 0:17is indestructible. In Matthew 5:18,
9. 0:21Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, until
10. 0:24heaven and earth disappear, not the
11. 0:26smallest letter, not the least stroke of
12. 0:28a pen will by any means
13. 0:31disappear." This means not even a tiny
14. 0:33accent mark or a flick of a pen from the
15. 0:36original Hebrew will ever become void.
16. 0:39The written word stands firm. In John
17. 0:4110:35, Jesus calls scripture
18. 0:44unbreakable. It cannot be enulled or
19. 0:47overturned. It's not just reliable. It
20. 0:50is completely and absolutely
21. 0:52trustworthy. When Satan tempted him in
22. 0:55the wilderness, Jesus didn't rely on
23. 0:57personal strength or argument. He quoted
24. 1:00scripture. Three times he responded, "It
25. 1:03is written in Matthew 4:es 47 and 10."
26. 1:07That shows the Bible's final and
27. 1:09decisive authority even over spiritual
28. 1:11warfare and temptation. Jesus also
29. 1:14emphasized the sufficiency of the
30. 1:17scriptures in Luke
31. 1:1916:31. He says, "If they do not listen
32. 1:23to Moses and the prophets, they will not
33. 1:25be convinced even if someone rises from
34. 1:28the dead." That's a bold statement. Even
35. 1:31a resurrection wouldn't persuade someone
36. 1:33if they disregard the word of God. Jesus
37. 1:36was making it clear. Scripture is
38. 1:38enough. It's all we need to believe,
39. 1:40understand, and obey. The Apostle Paul
40. 1:43expands on this truth in 2 Timothy 3
41. 1:4616-17. He writes, "All scripture is God
42. 1:50breathed and is useful for teaching,
43. 1:52rebuking, correcting, and training in
44. 1:55righteousness so that the man of God may
45. 1:57be thoroughly equipped for every good
46. 2:00work." God breathed means the very
47. 2:03breath of God. His spirit moved through
48. 2:06human authors so that what was written
49. 2:09wasn't just inspiring but
50. 2:12inspired. Scripture equips us
51. 2:14completely. Nothing is missing. Nothing
52. 2:18needs to be added. But how far does this
53. 2:20divine authority
54. 2:22extend? Paul says all scripture, not
55. 2:26just the general ideas or the moral
56. 2:28teachings, every word, every phrase,
57. 2:31every passage.
58. 2:34Jesus affirmed this when he referred to
59. 2:36the words of David in Matthew
60. 2:3922:43. Jesus asked, "How is it then that
61. 2:43David speaking by the Spirit calls him
62. 2:45Lord?" He pointed out that David's words
63. 2:48were guided by the Holy
64. 2:50Spirit. Paul echoed this again in 1
65. 2:53Corinthians
66. 2:542:13, explaining that we speak not in
67. 2:57words taught by human wisdom, but in
68. 3:00words taught by the spirit. Even the
69. 3:02smallest parts of the words are
70. 3:04authoritative. In Matthew 5 17:18, Jesus
71. 3:08says he didn't come to abolish the law
72. 3:10or the prophets, but to fulfill them.
73. 3:13And again, he emphasized that not even
74. 3:15the tiniest letter or penstroke would
75. 3:17disappear until all is fulfilled.
76. 3:20Jesus's teaching shows that even the
77. 3:22tense of a verb matters. In Matthew
78. 3:2422:32, he says, "I am the God of
79. 3:27Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
80. 3:30of Jacob." Not was, but am. That subtle
81. 3:34present tense proves resurrection and
82. 3:36ongoing life. That's how seriously Jesus
83. 3:39took the exact words of scripture. Some
84. 3:41may ask, "Wasn't the Bible written by
85. 3:44humans?" Yes, but not in a purely human
86. 3:48way. 2 and Peter 1:es 20-21 clarifies
87. 3:52that no prophecy of scripture came about
88. 3:55by the prophet's own interpretation and
89. 3:58that men spoke from God as they were
90. 4:00carried along by the Holy Spirit. God
91. 4:03used each writer's vocabulary and
92. 4:04personality but every word was overseen
93. 4:07by his spirit. The result, a perfect
94. 4:10message, not a robotic dictation, but a
95. 4:13divine orchestration. The Bible claims
96. 4:15divine origin, authority, precision, and
97. 4:20sufficiency. Not one part of it is
98. 4:22accidental or outdated. Its authority is
99. 4:25not just a religious opinion. It is a
100. 4:27claim made by Jesus, affirmed by
101. 4:29apostles, and preserved word for word.
102. 4:33The question isn't whether the Bible
103. 4:35claims divine authority. The question
104. 4:37is, do we believe
