Equipped
For Every Good Work
Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct,
my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my
persecutions, and my suffering the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What
persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all
who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But wicked
people and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being
deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly
believed, knowing from whom you learned it, and how from childhood you have
known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so
that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good
work.
2 Timothy 3:10-17
How well do you know the Bible? If you are to
live a godly life, how can you expect to live by the rules, if you don’t know what the rules are? The Bible should be our
rule book, and by knowing it, we can be better witnesses for Jesus Christ.
Read the Bible to be
wise,
believe it to be safe,
practice it to be holy.
