The Bible teaches that its writings are the result of God's guidance and direction, given to human authors who were moved by the Holy Spirit. According to 2 Peter 1:21, prophetic messages were spoken as people were carried along by the Spirit, while 2 Timothy 3:16-17 affirms that all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, and training. The apostle Paul also notes in 1 Corinthians 2:13 that the words he spoke were not of human origin, but of the Spirit. This understanding is reaffirmed in 2 Peter 1:20, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the divine origin of Scripture.
