What happened happened. Inspiration Basics Inspiration is inexplicable. It is the operation of God, but we do not know exactly how that power of God operates. Inspiration, in this restricted sense, is limited to the authors of Scripture. Other books are not inspired in the same sense.
Inspiration is essentially guidance.
That is, God supervised the selection of the materials to be used and the words to be employed in writing. God preserved the authors from all error and from all omission. Inspiration extends to the words not merely to the thoughts and concepts. God breathed into the writers and brought into being His infallible Word. The Bible is complete and full as we have it.
