Verse of the Day 6-9-22

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

The doctrine of inspiration refers to the process by which God oversaw the composition of Scripture, guiding the authors to write exactly what he wanted them to write without error. The Greek word translated “inspired” is literally “breathed out by God.” Our God communicates, and he has worked supernaturally through the Holy Spirit to communicate perfectly to us. When we read the Bible, we are reading the very words of the living God.

“All scripture is profitable for teaching (instructing you in the truths that you need to know), for rebuking (reproving you for what you have done wrong), for correcting (showing you what is right), and for training in righteousness (guiding you to approach life as God intended).” Everything a believer needs to become all that God has redeemed him or her to be has been deposited in the Scriptures. And these are the questions that you must ask yourselves in order to apply this truth to your life:

• How do you intentionally expose yourself to preaching and teaching that are based on the authority of God’s Word?
• What steps do you take to apply what you learn?
