TEACHER'S ACTIVITIES:
Activity: Understanding the Inspiration of the Bible
Objective: Help students understand that God gave the Bible's words to the
authors.
Materials Needed:
 ● Paper

● Pens or pencils

● Bibles
Instructions:
1. Introduction (2 minutes): Start by explaining that the Bible is a special
book because its words came from God, even though it was written by
different people like Isaiah, Jeremiah, John, and Paul. Mention that 2 Peter
1:20-21 and 2 Timothy 3:16 explain how God inspired these authors.
2. Activity (5 minutes):
o Step 1: Ask the students to take out a piece of paper and a pen or
pencil.
o Step 2: Dictate a few simple sentences to the class. For example,
"The sky is blue. Birds can fly. Trees are tall."
o Step 3: After they have written down the sentences, ask the
students where the words came from. They will respond that the
words came from you, the teacher, even though they wrote them
down.
3. Discussion (2 minutes):
o Explain to the students that just as they wrote down the words you
spoke, the authors of the Bible wrote down the words that God told
them.
o Read aloud 2 Peter 1:20-21 and 2 Timothy 3:16, and discuss briefly
how these verses show that all Scripture is inspired by God.
4. Conclusion (1 minutes):
o Summarise by emphasising that the Bible is God's message to us,
given through different people, and that's what makes it so special
and important.
This activity will help students understand the concept of divine inspiration in
a practical and memorable way.
