Before the entrance of sin, Adam enjoyed open communion with his
Maker; but since man separated himself from God by transgression, the
human race has been cut off from this high privilege. By the plan of redemption, however, a way has been opened whereby the inhabitants of the earth
may still have connection with heaven. God has communicated with men
by His Spirit, and divine light has been imparted to the world by revelations
to His chosen servants. “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:21.
During the first twenty-five hundred years of human history, there was no
written revelation. Those who had been taught of God, communicated their
knowledge to others, and it was handed down from father to son, through
successive generations. The preparation of the written word began in the
time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book.
This work continued during the long period of sixteen hundred years—from
Moses, the historian of creation and the law, to John, the recorder of the most
sublime truths of the gospel.
The Bible points to God as its author; yet it was written by human hands;
and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of
the several writers. The truths revealed are all “given by inspiration of God”
(2 Timothy 3:16); yet they are expressed in the words of men. The Infinite
One by His Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of His servants. He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures; and those to
whom the truth was thus revealed have themselves embodied the thought
in human language.
The Ten Commandments were spoken by God Himself, and were written by His own hand. They are of divine, and not of human composition.
But the Bible, with its God-given truths expressed in the language of men,
presents a union of the divine and the human. Such a union existed in the
nature of Christ, who was the Son of God and the Son of man. Thus it is true
of the Bible, as it was of Christ, that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us.” John 1:14.
