Verbal means
that inspiration extends to the very words which the writers used in the
original writings. This does not mean that God dictated the words, but that He
so guided men to write in their own language, with their own words, and in their
own style that when they had written they had said exactly what God wanted
said. If God intended to accurately convey truth to us it was necessary, in the
very nature of the case, to see to it that the writers used the words which would
accomplish that end. If men hire lawyers to frame legal documents in words
which cannot be gainsaid, how much more important to have the right words in
documents dealing with the eternal welfare of men’s souls!
