Lewis Sperry Chafer emphasizes the divine nature of the Bible as God's message to humanity, highlighting the unique inspiration of the Scriptures where human authors were directed by God to record His complete and connected thoughts without losing their individuality. He discusses various theories of inspiration including the Naturalistic, Partial, Gracious, and Verbal theories, with the Verbal theory asserting that the Bible, even to its very words, is inspired. Chafer points out the importance of recognizing the Bible's claim to be inspired in its very words, as supported by Christ's affirmation of the Old Testament and the provision for the New Testament's inspiration. He underscores that inspiration ensures the exact divine message is conveyed, aiming at inspired writings rather than inspired men, and upholding the infallibility of God's Word.
