Who inspires you? What is inspiration?

Inspiration of the Bible To define “inspiration” To explain 4 ways the Bible is inspired To reflect on how the Bible is “The Word of God” 1.What does “inspiration” mean? 2.How can the Bible give you inspiration? **How can being inspired change you?

I don’t have any ideas ! I can’t think of anything! I don’t understand anything… I don’t know what to do... In-spiration literally means to “breathe in the spirit”. God gives us His spirit to give us strength and wisdom to see clearly what we must do. 1.Write out the definition of inspiration above. 2. Which of the people have you ever felt like? When was it? **Why do people call a great work of art, like a book or a painting, “inspired” ?

Does God really help us through the Bible? Watch the video.video What happened? What did Augustine realise when he read that Bible verse? How did it change his life? “Take and Read!” Augustine was a famous playboy – with a reputation for having lots of romances. His mother, was a Christian & used to pray for him to change. Lying in the garden one day, with a Bible he was looking at, he had a strange experience…

“Take and Read!” The passage that Augustine’s eyes fell upon was this one: “Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” It made him think about his life of pleasure, and how it was wrong. He recognised, that God was speaking to him personally through this bible verse. This gave him the courage to stand up, go into the Church and ask for forgiveness, and give his life to God. His mother saw him, and realised that all her prayers for him, were now answered. 1.Explain what Augustine used to be like. 2.Look up what he read and write it out. Romans 13: Explain why it changed him. **What sort of “inspiration” did Augustine get from the text? Check what your definition of inspiration is, first!

Have you ever picked up the Bible and been inspired by something you read? Say a short prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you. Open the Bible at random. See if your eyes fall on a passage that means something. Write it in your book. Think about it!

What have you learnt today about what inspiration from God means?
