2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all
good works.
“Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living being.” Genesis 2:7
The breath of God gives life to human beings. Through God’s respiration, as it were, humans
become living beings; so, through God’s inspiration, human words become divine
message. A book is more than a book,
Scripture is more than scripture. What
would otherwise have been merely earthly is also holy, of the Divine, by the
breath of God. Lines and curves, shapes
and densities, grammar and biology are all but dust without the breath of God
to give them meaning, to give them true life.
For, that which is given by inspiration of God becomes truly and fully
alive, worthy of righteousness, of the ways of perfection and all that is good.
