2 Timothy 3:16-17
- All Scripture is inspired by God, God-breathed
- Should be applied to our lives so that we can be ready for every spiritual challenge
- Word used to learn what God says by teaching
- Word used to correct things we are not doing
- Word used to warn us by rebuking us
- Word used to put things into practice through training
- Why should we go through this type of learning? Be thoroughly equipped for all good works
Hebrews 4:12-13
- The word of God is relevant and can expose and convict us of sin in our lives - not collecting dust somewhere
- It exposes us for what or who we are - Not everything in the Bible feels good at the time
- Sharper than any double edged sword - It can cut us, but its purpose is to cut out the bad, so that we can be healed - just like a surgeon’s scalpel.
1 Timothy 4:16
- We need to watch how we live and what we teach - both essential to salvation
- Illustration: Which wing of an airplane is most important? So it is with what you teach and how you live out those beliefs.
- What is the result of careful attention to our life and doctrine?
Key Phrase: We need to watch how we live and what we teach - both essential to salvation
