# 4--Where did the Bible come from?

2Pe 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. (21) For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.


1Th 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.


The Bible is the Word of God. The message is God's message. It was revealed to men (Apostles and Prophets) by the Holy Spirit. They wrote it down so that others could hear and know the truth.


The Bible does not change because of our interpretation. It is our job to study and find out what God said, and then to tell THAT MESSAGE to others. The Bible from cover to cover is a message of hope for people who are willing to listen and obey what God says. It is a sober message of condemnation for those who refuse to listen and obey.
