There's nothing like the written Word
of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing
us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live
God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God
has for us.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (MSG)
How do we
know if our desires line up with what pleases God? God’s Word is a great place
to start. God will never direct you to do anything that contradicts any part of
His Word. The more we know and understand God’s Word; we will have better
discernment about God’s direction in our lives. If we’ve read the Bible many
times, then it might be the time to take a Hermeneutics class and dig a little
deeper.
God’s Word
works this way in our lives: It teaches, rebukes, corrects and trains in
righteousness. It tells us where the path is (teaches). The Bible tells us
where we’ve strayed from the path (rebukes). It shows us the way back to the
path (corrects). And, God’s Word directs us how to stay on the path (trains).
The more time we spend with God’s Word, the more He will rub off on us.
