“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
After Jesus ascended to Heaven the Holy Spirit was sent by
The Father to abide in the lives of every person who by faith believed in
Jesus, who He is and what His word was. In
John 14:26 Jesus promised that the “Helper (Holy Spirit) would teach you…and
bring to your remembrance all that I have said.” God has given us His Word, and
we recognize its value.. In the second
letter the Apostle Paul wrote to
Timothy, he underscored this fact. God’s
purpose in inspiring the writers of our Bible was to give us His will in His word.
By preserving these writings so that we have them available to us today, many
centuries later God has helped His people to understand His words so that we
may know His plan and purpose for our lives.
And what has been God's purpose?
It has been to equip each of us to carry on His work of reaching others
with His message and offer of salvation. So, as we read God's Word, as we study
the Bible, as we listen to others teach us from it, God is making us complete
by equipping for every good work.
