JUNE 25
DAY 24:What were the sources for the writer of the Chronicles?
The inspiration of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16) was sometimes accomplished through direct revela-
tion from God without a human writer, e.g., the Mosaic Law. At other times, God used human
sources,as mentioned in Luke 1:1–4.Such was the experience of the chronicler as evidenced by the
many contributing sources. Whether the material came through direct revelation or by existing
resources, God’s inspiration through the Holy Spirit prevented the original human authors of
Scripture from any error (2 Pet. 1:19–21). Although relatively few scribal errors have been made in
copying Scripture, they can be identified and corrected. Thus, the original, inerrant content of the
Bible has been preserved.
