*HOW TO STUDY YOUR BIBLE (3)*
*What makes the bible holy is not the fact it has a black cover, what makes it holy is the information it contains. It is sacred*
2nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Vs 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
It is important to note that v16 says ALL scripture. This refers to the different books that make up the bible (Genesis to Malachi and Matthew to Revelation). So our attitude to the bible must be to study EVERYTHING and not a part of the bible
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Vs 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Vs 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Notice again, “all the scriptures.”
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Vs 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Both the Lord Jesus and the man Timothy didn’t have a poor attitude to the scriptures. All we have are the scripture.
*Confession:* I read the whole bible and not a part of it. I repent of any poor attitude towards the scriptures and apply myself to bible study.
