Where did Scripture come from? What is the basis of our faith in the Bible and the Gospel? Peter wants us to realize that the prophets of ancient times, God’s servants, didn’t bake up their own private recipes for their prophecies. Instead, they could only move and respond to what God was doing in them, not what they wanted to do or say. They were human, but their messages were God’s word because the Holy Spirit moved them to speak and guided them in what they said. This makes what we have in Scripture from the prophets more than precious. We have been given the very words of God! “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:21.
