How to Understand the Bible - “Points for Trying?”

4/20/2015

0 Comments

 
Memory Verse:  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17(NIV)

Scripture Reading:  2 Timothy 3:14-17
Picture
1.  The Bible is from God!
  • God breathed!
  • God’s Authority is the only authority! Ultimate Authority in Doctrine and Deed. (Luke 10:26; 24:44-45; John 10:35; 2 Tim.3:16; 4:1-4; 2 Peter 3:16). As John Stott notes, “Scripture is the royal scepter by which King Jesus governs his church.”
2.  The Bible is useful! 
  • Wisdom for Salvation:  2 Tim 3:15 NIV - and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
  • Teaching - imparting vital content/doctrine
  • Rebuking - illuminating error
  • Correcting - illustrating the improved life
  • Training in Righteousness - holistic discipline of the righteous of God
  • Conviction of Sin - (Rom.3:20; Gal.3:22-25; Heb.4:12-13).
  • Spiritual Fruitfulness - As the Word of God takes deep root in true believers, it produces a harvest of righteousness - a genuine manifestation of love for God and love for others (Mark 4:1-20; James 1:22-25).
  • Perseverance - Empowered by the Holy Spirit, believers hold fast to the saving message of the Scriptures through the trials and temptations of life. (John 10:28-29; 1 Cor.15:2; 2 Cor.13:5; Gal.3:1-5; Phil.1:6; Col.1:23; 1 Tim.3:13; 1 John 2:14)
  • Joy and Delight - To those who know God, the Bible is a source of unending joy and delight. Psalm 19:9-10 
3.  The Bible thoroughly equips!
  • The servant of God
  • Every good work!

SO WHAT?

  • Do you confess that the Bible is authoritative?
  • Commit to read the Bible daily this week.
  • Confess to God an area of need for equipping and search for help in the Bible.
