But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 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.
Jewish Children:
The glory of the Jews was for their children to know the law
The law was taught to them from birth
Swaddling clothes/Mother milk
Sooner forget their own name than scripture
at age 6: started memorizing the Torah
First five book of the Bible
Highest educated at that time
Oral Tradition:
They spoke the word early and often
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) (omit the last part for now)
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.
A Rabbi “mastering the law”
-wanted to learn greek wisdom
-Tell me where you can find time in between meditating the word of God day and night
-God’s word can’t be compartmentalized in our lives
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
It has to be in everything
Why is the Word Important?
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
Scripture is given by inspiration of God
Written by Man under the inspiration of the HOLY SPIRIT
The creators communication with us
Everything must come in line with the Word of God
Prophesy, words of knowledge, tongues and interpretation,
God told me
2. Profitable for Doctrine
Teaches us through his word
what do you need
Important we filter everything through God’s word
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”
3. For Rebuke/Correction
The word of God brings correction
The word of God corrects our thinking
Corrects moral issues
IT CORRECTS/Rebukes OUR EMOTIONS
Set’s us straight on how we view ourselves
Fear not
I will go with you
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. 11 Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
God was constantly fixing peoples emotions
Kids only know how to react to their emotions until you show them differently
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
4. Instruction in righteousness
God’s word shows us how to live
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
God’s word gives us goal to shoot for
What are areas in your life your aiming for?
a lot of us aim at nothing and hit it every time
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
5. We may be equipped for every good work
-Equipped for every good work
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
-Jesus did most all his miracles amongst interruptions
-Cause he was equipped and ready
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
The word Equips us for storms
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
We have to be all in
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Dear God, I am a sinner.
I’m sorry for my sin; please forgive me.
I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son
and that He died for my sins
I believe You raised Him back to life.
I want to invite Jesus into my heart
today.
I’m make your Lord of my life
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
