The word of God has been to us for a purpose. Many children of God have idea as to why we are given the word; but purpose of this study is to open our eyes as to its purpose; and that we may value Gods word more than ever before.
ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY GODAND IS PROFITABLE FOR TEACHING, REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION AND FOR TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUS. 2Tim 3:16;
It is the scriptures that teach us about Gods ways, His will, instructing our ignorance and giving us light in the dark areas of our lives. We get rebukes as well when we violate our consciences, correct us when do wrong things in our ignorance and train and discipline us to walk righteously.
AS NEWBORN BABES, DESIRE THE PURE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD THAT YOU MAY GROW. 1Pet 2:2
Here we see spiritual maturity comes only we feed on God’s word. That is why many of Gods children are immature; they get easily offended, live selfishly, take no responsibility in Gods house and many other marks of immaturity.
EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN SCRIPTURE IS FOR OUR LEARNING, THAT PERSEVERANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES WE MIGHT HAVE HOPE. Rom 15:4
One common that comes to all believers is the temptation to be discouraged. The antidote for discouragement is the scriptures; if you feel discouraged or hopeless and see as if everything is against you, read the scriptures.
THAT WE MAY LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS, AND A WARNING FOR US AND A WORD OF ADVISE. 1Cor 10:6-11
It is said the experience is the best teacher, and the best way to learn is learning from the experience of others. We can avoid many pitfalls by seeing that things that others did and God was not pleased that we may avoid the same traps simply by reading the scriptures.
MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BTEAD ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. Mat 4:4
If we are to avoid spiritual death marked by backsliding, losing our love for the Lord, not getting sidetracked by minor issues, always passionate and zealous for the Lord and His work; we must always hear that word the proceeds every moment from the mouth of God.
YOUR WORD IS A LAMP FOR MY FEET AND A LIGHT ON MY PATH. Ps 119:105
The world is full of darkness; Is 60:1, and we can only walk in darkness if we have a light that we’ll to know our paths. When path is lighted, we’ll be able the next the same step, in the same way, we have to obey God in the areas God has given us light if we are to get more light; if we are to walk continuously, we are to obey God where we already know His will.
WORD OF GOD IS LIKE A FIRE AND A HAMMER THAT BREAKS THE ROCK IN PEACES. The Jer 23:29
The purpose of the fire is to purify the dross in gold. It is God’s word that purifies us by consuming everything in us that is unlike Christ. See John 15:3, Ps 109:9,11 and Eph 5:26. Hammer then broke rock to make a way; in the same way, its Gods word that breaks the difficulties on our path and we are able to continue in our journey.
