In Training…for the Life to Come

Get in God’s Word

Hebrews 4:12-13 / 2 Timothy 3:14-17 

“Physical training is good,
but training for godliness is much better,
promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
1 Timothy 4:8

How do you get in God’s Word?

Trust God’s Word

2 Timothy 3:14, “But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can TRUST those who taught you.”

God’s Word is:

     Historically Reliable
Psalm 33:4, “The Word of the Lord is right and true.”
     Prophetically Proven:
2 Peter 1:21, “No prophecy ever originated from humans. Instead, it was given by the Holy Spirit as humans spoke under God’s direction.”

Value God’s Word

Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is alive and powerful.
Psalm 119:72, “The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.”

Take-in God’s Word

2 Tim 3:16-17, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”
Psalm 119:9, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.”

Three ways to take it in:

     Chair-Time
     Table-Time
     Gathering-Time

FINAL THOUGHT:
“A bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”
