2 Timothy 3:16-17 – The Word Of God

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and therefore is His Word. It is a divine revelation, which we may depend upon as infallibly true. The prophets and apostles did not speak from themselves, but what they received of the Lord that they delivered unto us. That the Scripture was given by inspiration of God is demonstrated by its majestic style, its truth, purity, and holiness of the doctrines contained within it, its unity, its power on the minds of those who read it, the accomplishment of the prophecies in it, and the miracles that were done as proof that what was said came from God.

The Word of God is able to make us wise to salvation; it is a sure guide in our way to eternal life. It is profitable to us for all the purposes of the Christian life, for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. It instructs us in that which is true, reproves us for that which is wrong, and directs us in that which is good. It is of use to all, for we all need to be instructed, corrected, and reproved.

That which completes a man of God in this world is the Scripture. By it we are equipped for every good work. There is that in the Bible that speaks to every situation. Whatever duty we have to do, whatever service is required from us, whatever situation we are in, we may find enough in the Bible to equip us for it.
