All Scripture is breathed out by God. The Bible was written over the course of 1,500 years by forty men moved by the Holy Spirit. They came from all walks of life, from powerful kingships and from humble fishing boats, recording the history, the laws, the poetry, prophecies, eyewitness testimonies, and personal letters contained in the Bible's 66 books. God's central message through their pen is His supreme glory most awesomely revealed in the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose again to save sinners.
