ALL SCRIPTURE
2 Timothy 3: 16: All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto
all good works.
The
scripture we hear preached each week are not fables but the very word of
God. When we hear the word preached, we
should receive it “not as the word of
men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in
you that believe.” (1 Thess 2: 13)
When taught doctrine, learn; when reproved, submit; when corrected,
repent; when instructed in righteousness, obey. The word grows the man of God,
throughly furnishing us unto all good works. If God is working effectually in
us then we will hear God’s word and live it!
