(KJV) 1 Corinthians 2:13
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
WORDS TAUGHT BY THE SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 2:13
Though Paul is writing about the God-initiated, Spirit-directed nature of his preaching, (1 Corinthians 2:9-13 suggest the steps by which the Holy Spirit also inspired the writing of Scripture (God’s written Word).
Step 1: God desired to communicate His wisdom to humankind (1 Corinthians 2:7-9). This wisdom concerned His plans and purpose to restore us to a personal relationship with Himself through the life, death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 2:2, 5).
Step 2: It is only through the Holy spirit that God’s truth and wisdom are revealed to humanity (1 Corinthians 2:10). The Spirit knows God’s thoughts fully (1 Corinthians 2:11) as He too is God.
Step 3: God’s revelation was given to chosen believers through the presence of the Spirit within them (1 Corinthians 2:12; Romans 8:11, 15).
Step 4: The writers of Scripture recorded the words taught by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:13). The Spirit not only directed the writers’ thoughts, but also the very choice of the words they used (Exodus 24:4; Isaiah 51:16; Jeremiah 1:9; Jeremiah 36:28, 32; Ezekiel 2:7; Matthew 4:4) so that they communicated exactly what God wanted. At the same time, the Spirit’s guidance in expressing God’s truth was not mechanical or impersonal; rather, the Spirit used each writer’s vocabulary and individual style.
Step 5: Believers can understand God-inspired Scripture as they examine its content through the help and insight of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).
The Spirit of God inspired both the thoughts and language of Scripture. Not a single writer used a false word or phrase. the Holy Spirit protected God’s Word from all error and untruth.
