God’s Word for Every Believer
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for giving us Your Word. Thank You that You have not left us to wonder who You are or how we should live. Through the Bible, You reveal Your truth, Your will, Your promises, and Your plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. As we study today, open our minds to understand Your Word and soften our hearts to obey it. Help us to treasure Scripture and grow through it every day.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
Primary Text
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Introduction
The Bible is the most important book a believer will ever read.
It is not merely a collection of religious writings.
The Bible is God’s Word.
Through Scripture, God reveals:
- Who He is
- His plan of salvation
- His will for our lives
- His promises
- His truth
Just as physical food nourishes the body, God’s Word nourishes the soul.
A healthy Christian life depends upon regularly reading, understanding, and obeying Scripture.
