Q:

44. Who wrote down the words in the Bible?

A:

The words of God in the Bible were written down by kings, farmers, fishermen, poets, and even a doctor. The Bible is full of history and poetry and prayers and information. God made the most of each writer’s personality and experience.

Solomon, for example, shared wisdom God had given him. David sang songs of praise. Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah comforted God’s people—and warned them against sin. Hosea talked about his broken marriage to teach people about following God. You can think of each writer as an instrument God used to produce a beautiful song. Like the violins and trumpets and flutes and drums in an orchestra, each makes a different sound. Yet each plays a part in God’s tune.

The LORD said to Moses, “Write down these words.”

EXODUS 34:27 NCV
