Grade 9 · CRE · The Bible (Inspiration and Authority)
Christians believe the Bible is inspired by God: 'All Scripture is God-breathed' (2 Timothy 3:16). Human authors wrote under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is authoritative for faith and conduct: it teaches, rebukes, corrects and trains in righteousness. We apply it by reading, studying in context, obeying and sharing it. Different literary forms: history, law, poetry, prophecy, gospels, letters.
