Psalm 119:140 KJV
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
In the inspiration of Scripture, JC Ryle, a renowned English pastor of old, has this to say:
...the denial of verbal inspiration appears to me to destroy a great part of the usefulness of the Bible as a source of comfort and instruction in private reading.
(Taken from Ryle, Old Paths)
To me, such speaks true. Either I take the very words of God to be inspired, or I risk finding very little comfort in the Word of God. Either I take each and every word of God to be inspired, or I risk having little instruction as to how I should live my life in this world.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
