All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Our main verse reveals a beautiful truth that all scriptures are God breathed. Notice it says “all” not “some”. A lot of Christians have an attitude of following Scriptures that ‘feel’ convenient and ignoring those that speak hard truths.
Your approach towards scriptures should be to take it entirely and know that it is the ultimate truth. It is the manual of God for living an authentic Christian life. Never have a careless or casual approach towards the scripture. For example, the scriptures are clear about the end times and rapture of the Church, yet many refuse to acknowledge it and doubt the rapture, that’s because they haven’t studied the scriptures enough. They haven’t given it time and attention. They just keep searching about God and the meaning of scriptures on Google and other search engines. They never labor in the scriptures to find the truth for themselves. True knowledge of scripture comes through God’s revelation, not just intellectual understanding. God said: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….” (Hosea 4:6). Don’t be one among such folks who continually reject the true knowledge of scriptures, have the right approach.
Give yourself wholly to the Word of God, spend time understanding the truth in scriptures and you will be able to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. You will be the impact the world needs. You will be the solution the world is crying for. You will be the salt and light of this world, because that’s what God made you. Glory to God!
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for the scriptures that you have preserved and presented for this generation through the written pages of the Bible. I give myself wholly to the Word of God. I meditate on the scriptures day and night and make my way prosperous. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.
