Continue In What You Have Learned

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 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 3:14-17

We need something to equip us so that we can survive spiritually in this sinful world. God has given us His Word, a kind of spiritual knife for the soul.

The word translated equipped means to “furnish or fit completely.” How does the Bible equip us for the journey of life. It provides spiritual truth in doctrine; reproof in showing our imperfections; correction by revealing our sinful failures; and instruction in living a righteous life. There is not a more valuable tool than God’s Word to make us fully equipped for spiritual survival and personal growth.

The Bible contains the nutrients we need for a healthy soul.
