2 Timothy 3:14-17

Dear Brethren:

Continuing on a single path is crucial to you and I living a faithful life to the Father in heaven. During our lives as Christians, we will face many temptations to detour from our God given path. We must stay constant and true to the path which leads to heaven.

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul told Timothy to "continue in the things which you have learned." Like you and I, Timothy had learned the "Holy Scriptures" which had made Timothy "wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Paul conveyed to Timothy the importance of continuing in the path established by God's word.

The word of God prepares us for a life of serving Him. The word of God provides us with a doctrine to believe and follow, reproof for those times when we do wrong, correction for changing when we do wrong, and instructions in living righteously. By providing us with these four crucial elements, God's word will make us complete, equipping us for "every good work."

Consider your life and your service to God. Are you continuing in those things which you have learned? If your answer is no, then return to God's word and remind yourself of the path given to you by God.

Here is 2 Timothy 3:14-17 presented for your consideration.

2 Timothy 3:14-17

14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

In Love,

John Duvall
