Used by Eduqas
Paper 2
Revise: Law, the Bible and Christian AuthorityInspiration is the belief that the Holy Spirit guided the Bible’s human authors. A key passage is 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is God-breathed”. Christians use this to explain why scripture has an authority beyond that of an ordinary human book.
Distinguish inspiration (God guiding the writers) from revelation (God making himself known).
Support explanations with a relevant biblical reference, then explain how it supports the belief: for example, 2 Timothy 3:16 and inspiration.
