STUDYING AND EXAMINING GOD’S WORD is essential for us in our efforts to please the Lord, He said “Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman who has no reason to be ashamed, ACCURATELY HANDLING AND SKILLFULLY TEACHING the word of truth.” (2 Tim. 2:15) What does God expect from us as far as teaching His word? “…you shall lay up THESE WORDS OF MINE in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall TEACH THEM TO YOUR CHILDREN, SPEAKING OF THEM when you SIT in your house, when you WALK by the way, when you LIE down, and when you RISE up. And you shall WRITE THEM ON THE DOORPOSTS of your house and ON YOUR GATES…” (Deut. 11:18-20) Just why is this so important? Because, “Every word of God PROVES TRUE…” (Prov. 30:5) And, “ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God (it is God-breathed), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped (through in and throughout)…” (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
“Let the word of Christ DWELL IN YOU RICHLY AMY, in all wisdom…
TEACHING AND ADMONISHING ONE ANOTHER IN PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING WITH GRACE IN YOUR HEARTS TO THE LORD…(Col. 3:16)
