Revelation - God revealing Himself to mankind
Inspiration - Holy Spirit inspiring the words of God to the writers of Scripture.
Illumination - Holy Spirit bringing understanding to the readers.
The Word of God is:
Infallible - Scriptures are certain, reliable, trustworthy to what they speak to. Will not mislead.
Inerrant - The Scripture in the original languages is without error, free of mistakes and falsehoods.
Authoritative - the outgrowth of inspiration. As the words of God, it carries His authority. It holds truths and God's revelation of Himself to mankind.
