Many believers affirm that Jesus Christ is the Word of God—but what about the Bible itself? Is Scripture truly God’s Word, or is it only a human record of spiritual ideas?

In this lesson, Scott Mitchell responds to a listener’s question and examines what the Bible says about its own authority. From the Gospel of John to the writings of Paul and Peter, Scripture consistently presents itself as God-breathed, trustworthy, and unbreakable.

Key Scripture Passages Referenced

• John 1:1, 14 – The Word was God, and the Word was made flesh
• John 10:34–35 – “The scripture cannot be broken”
• 2 Peter 1:16–21 – A “more sure word of prophecy” and the origin of Scripture
• 2 Timothy 3:14–17 – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God
• Psalm 12:6–7 – The Lord preserves His words
• Luke 24:44–46 – Christ opens the understanding of the Scriptures
• 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 – The gospel according to the Scriptures
• Acts 17:2–3, 10–11 – Paul reasons from the Scriptures; the Bereans search them daily
• Romans 16:25–26 – The mystery made known by the Scriptures of the prophets
• 2 Peter 3:15–16 – Peter recognizes Paul’s writings as Scripture
• 1 John 4:1–3 – Test the spirits
• 1 Corinthians 2:6–13 – Spiritual things are discerned by the Spirit and compared with Scripture
• Psalm 138:2 – God has magnified His Word above His name

What This Study Covers 

• The biblical meaning of “the Word” (Logos) and its connection to Scripture
• Why Jesus treated Scripture as the authoritative Word of God
• How the apostles used Scripture to prove the gospel message
• Why Scripture is called “God-breathed” and what that means for believers
• How God preserves His Word and why it remains the standard of truth
• Why every spiritual claim must be tested by Scripture

The Bible does not present itself as a collection of religious opinions. It presents itself as the written, preserved Word of God. The same Scriptures that testify of Christ also reveal the gospel that saves: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

This message explains why Christians can confidently say the Bible is the Word of God—and why that truth remains central to faith, doctrine, and daily life.
