Use God’s Toolbox!
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness."
2 Timothy 3: 16
Some clever marketer came up with the
perfect housewarming or wedding present:
an all-in-one toolbox.
It wouldn’t work for a professional carpenter, but it can handle small
odd jobs around the house: a hammer, a few screwdrivers, the tape
measure, an adjustable wrench, pliers, a level, picture-hanging
wire
and hooks, and a container of assorted nails and screws, something
for almost every repair or emergency.
But what about real-life problems with money, relationships, worry,
child-rearing, marriage, and the like? Fortunately, there's a toolbox
to meet those needs as well. It’s called the Word of God.
The apostle Paul describes four things Scripture is good for:
doctrine (theological truth), reproof (leading to repentance),
correction (guidance), and guidelines for righteous
choices
in life. The answers are guaranteed because the whole Bible
is inspired by God.
Do you know someone starting out in their Christian life?
Consider a gift of a reader-friendly, modern translation of
God’s Word.
"A partially inspired Bible is little
better than no Bible at all."
J. C. Ryle
