“Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for corrections, and for instruction in righteousness“ -2 Timothy 3:16
What do you measure things against to make your decisions about what is right and wrong? Everyone has something that the use to help them decide if it is right to do something. Politicians use popularity polls to direct their campaigns. Actors and Actresses are not considered marketable if their movies don’t do well at the box office. When they are in a slump, the decision is made for them by a studio. These ways vary depending on who you talk to, or the place or time they are living
Some people are living miserable lives because they are confused about what guidelines to use for their life decisions. God gives us a measuring stick that is unchanging -the Bible.
God tells us that the written Word He has given us is “God-breathed.” That means the Bible was inspired by Him. Timothy tells us how valuable God’s instruction is to us. God’s instruction aims to increase virtue.
I thought I would share some verses for some questions I had that I will be looking up myself.
What exposes the thoughts and motives of a man’s heart? Hebrews 4:12
What does a person have to do it be blessed? Psalm 1:1-2
What two things will someone have if they love God’s law? Psalm 119:165
What never passes away? Matthew 24:35
If we make the decision to find out what God says in the Bible and choose to live by it we can overcome sin.
