2 Timothy 3:16-17 “…Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work…”
All scripture is inspired by God and, for this reason, it is important to know God’s word to live victoriously every day. Everything we need for spiritual growth is in God’s word—the Bible. This is our spiritual food.
Scripture can only be profitable to us when correctly interpreted, though. We need instruction from the Holy Spirit (who leads us into all truth). And for scripture to really be effective in the conviction of sin, correction of error and training in righteousness, it needs to be applied to our lives. We need to align our lives to what God’s word says. Then we shall be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
All scripture is God-breathed, and in God’s word, we believe.
