The Word of Truth.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15(KJV)


The Bible here is called the word of truth. This means that any doctrine that is been preached that cannot be found or does not have its origin in the scriptures is blatant error.

In our opening scripture, the Bible tells us that the workman who studies will rightly divide the word of truth. That means he will teach and interpret accurately the word of truth. Therefore, an unstudious workman will wrongly divide the word of truth. This means that being studious in the word of God would make you skillful in Biblical interpretation.

The Lord speaking about the Apostle Paul in Acts 9:15 to Ananias says, “he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:” Paul the Apostle speaking Himself in Romans 11:13(GW) says, “Now, I speak to you who are not Jewish. As long as I am an apostle sent to people who are not Jewish, I bring honor to my ministry.”

In 1 Timothy 2:7(GW), Paul says, “I was appointed to spread this Good News and to be an apostle to teach people who are not Jewish about faith and truth. I'm telling you the truth. I'm  not lying.” This means that Paul the Apostle has been sent and authorized by God to teach the truth of the gospel to the Gentiles or non-Jews, which includes us today.

Therefore, if we are going to know the truth concerning the gospel of Christ, we ought to study diligently the epistles of the Apostle Paul. This is not to say that we cannot be edified by reading the other epistles, but it is to remind us that as Christians, our emphasis should be in the New Testament.

PRAYER
Father I ask that whenever I study your word, you would grant unto me insight and revelation by your Spirit who will guide me into all truth in Jesus Name. Amen.
