As we continue our study through 2 Timothy—Live truth. Pass it on.—we’re going to take some time today to consider the true essence of the Bible. We believe that the Bible was breathed out by God—in other words, it is the verbal plenary inspiration of God. That means that “every word found in the Bible is given to us by God (verbal), everything in the Bible is authoritative (plenary), and every word is also divinely directed (inspired).” We cannot pick and choose what we want to believe. We believe the Bible in its entirety or not at all!
