Unashamed of God's Word
2 Timothy 2:14-19
- Central Truth: God has given us His Word to guard us against the temptations of the world that lead to spiritual ruin and to guide us to grow in godliness.
- A warning against the improper use of God's Word. (2:14, 16-18) There are 3 Questions to ask of all teaching:
- Does it agree with Scripture, honor God, and exalt Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord?.
- Does it humble proud, fallen sinners?
- Does it promote holiness?
- A workman approved properly uses God's Word. (2:15, 19)
- Church requirement – Every Church should be a Bible School, where the Word of God is accurately taught..
- Individual requirement – Every Christian should be a Bible Student, where the Word of God is accurately studied.
