Studying God's Word

HABITS OF GRACE: TIME IN THE WORD(2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)

THE WORD OF GOD IS WORTH YOUR TIME BECAUSE IT IS…

INSPIRED (v. 16)

• If it is inspired by a Holy God, then it is inerrant, and if it is inerrant, it is authoritative for us.

• Approach the authority of God with our head, heart, and hands.

PROFITABLE (v. 16)

• Scripture, through the Holy Spirit, refines our heart and mind.

• How do I engage with Scripture?

o Listen, read, study, and proclaim

SUFFICIENT (v.17)

• Sufficient for every circumstance

• Sufficient for salvation
