2 Timothy 3:16


2 Timothy 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:




Before I was a believer I always questioned the bible and wondered why people held on to His word for any reason. I use to say to my mom “why do you need a book to tell you how to live your life?!” It wasn’t an actual question that I cared to hear the answer to at the time. That was clearly a statement that was made by an ignorant me not knowing that this “book” held power, authority, purpose and healing in it.


I believe that there are thousands if not millions of people out there that have either said or thought the same thing that I have said to my mom years ago.


The scriptures are here for us to learn from and to put in practice what He has given to us. There are scriptures in the bible that will forever change our lives and make us into better people. For most of us we will have our biggest question answered, “what is our purpose in life?” God will tell us what our purpose is if we call on Him.


*side note- Whenever you are trying to get answers from God you MUST acknowledge Him as your Lord and savior otherwise it will be that much harder to get the answers you want and need. God can’t just speak to unbeliever because they are not open to receive His word, they do not know His word, they do not have a relationship with Him and nor would they be able to process the word spoken forth.


God is a righteous god and will not leave us to fend for ourselves, that is why He left us His word to serve as a teaching and learning tool to help us choose and stay on the right path.


It is vital that we accept Him and His word in order to live our lives as we ought to with the abundance that no other can offer.
