2 Timothy 2:15-16 - (GNVT)
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, dividing the word of truth aright.16 Stay profane, and vain babblings: for they shall increase unto more ungodliness.
Lord forgive my sins yesterday. I was slack in studying Your word. Today, I only ask that you open our hearts to it and help us to understand – Amen
Brethren:
Paul sayest herein to study God's word daily, in order to show yourself approved. Not only to God, but to the unbelievers. Surely, the workers of inequity will be stopped in their tracks when confronted with the true words of the Gospel. Do not in any way, shape or form give credence to the vain unprofitable babbling words of those that would pervert it. - R.P. Woitowitz
“Those disposed to strive, commonly strive about matters of small moment. But strifes of words destroy the things of God. The apostle mentions some who erred. They did not deny the resurrection, but they corrupted that true doctrine. Yet nothing can be so foolish or erroneous, but it will overturn the temporary faith of some professors. This foundation has two writings on it. One speaks our comfort. None can overthrow the faith of any whom God hath chosen. The other speaks our duty. Those who would have the comfort of the privilege, must make conscience of the duty Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, (Read Titus 2:14). The church of Christ is like a dwelling: some furniture is of great value; some of smaller value, and put to meaner uses. Some professors of religion are like vessels of wood and earth. When the vessels of dishonor are cast out to be destroyed, the others will be filled with all the fullness of God. We must see to it that we are holy vessels. Every one in the church whom God approves, will be devoted to his Master's service, and thus fitted for his use.” - Matthew Henry
