The Miracle of Scripture – 2 Peter 1:12-21 – Ed Kennedy – May 17, 2026

The Miracle of Scripture

Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens

How did God give us the Bible?

In a world filled with competing voices, opinions, and spiritual confusion, followers of Christ must return to the ultimate source of truth: God’s Word. In this message from our series Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens, we explore one of the most important questions Christians can ask:

Can the Bible truly be trusted?

Teaching from 2 Peter 1:16–21, this sermon examines the doctrine of biblical inspiration and explains how Scripture came into existence through the miraculous work of God.

The Bible teaches that its message did not originate from human imagination, personal opinion, or fabricated stories. Instead, God revealed Himself through uniquely chosen individuals who were “carried along by the Holy Spirit” as they recorded the very words God intended for humanity.

This message highlights:

  • The divine origin of Scripture
  • What it means for the Bible to be inspired
  • Why the apostles and prophets are trustworthy witnesses
  • How God used human authors without compromising divine truth
  • Why Christians can confidently build their worldview on Scripture
  • The role of God’s Word in guiding and transforming our lives

Throughout the message, we are reminded that Scripture is not merely an ancient religious text—it is God’s revelation to mankind, preserved for every generation and ultimately pointing us to Jesus Christ.
