2 Timothy 3 Verse 16 and 17:
Verse 16: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness',
Verse 17: "so that the man {or woman} of God may be complete, equipped for every good work".
The Apostle Paul says that all scripture is 'inspired for God' and that is 'useful. Biblical inspiration is the Supernatural influence of the Holy Spirit on the Bible writers, which guaranteed that what they wrote was accurate and trustworthy. 'Revelation' means the communicating of truth to man {or woman} by God; 'Inspiration has to do with the recording of this communication in a way that is dependable.
Whatever the Bible says about itself, mankind, God, life death, history, science and every other subjest is true.
This does no mean every statement in the Bible is true, because the Bible records the lies of men and of Satan, but the record is true.
The effective equipping that Gods' Word accomplishes can be seen in four ways i this passage;
1; teaching what is true.
2. making us realize what is wrong in our lives.
3. correcting us.
4. And teaching us to do what is right.
It is The Word of God that equips God's people to do the work of God.
God Bless
