God’s Word prepares us to do good
The apostle Paul reminds Timothy that Scripture comes from God and prepares us to live according to His will. Through His Word, God teaches us the truth, reveals our errors, corrects our direction, and trains us to do what is right.
All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be fully equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16–17 English rendering based on NVI
The apostle Paul reminds Timothy that Scripture comes from God and prepares us to live according to His will. Through His Word, God teaches us the truth, reveals our errors, corrects our direction, and trains us to do what is right.
Receiving this instruction requires a humble and willing heart. As we read, we can ask what needs to change in our decisions, attitudes, and relationships. Scripture points us to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and equips us to put that faith into practice through good works.
Pause and reflect
Read a short passage of Scripture today and identify one teaching you can apply. Take a concrete step of obedience. Ask God, in the name of His Son Jesus, to remove from your heart everything that does not come from the fruit of the Holy Spirit, renew your strength, and fill you with His Holy Spirit.
