Scripture
What exactly is a handbook?
One helpful definition is that it’s “a concise manual or reference book providing specific information or instruction about a subject or place.”
If you think about it, that’s what the Bible does too.
It is a concise reference and instruction book for living a life that is pleasing to God.
The Bible introduces you to God’s standard for living.
Very early in the writing of the Bible, God gave Moses a set of rules for the people of Israel to live by.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
The first four addressed how the people were to honor and worship God.
The last six spoke of how the people were to interact with others.
Was that enough? — At the time it was
In the New Testament, Jesus clarified God’s standard when He said, “Be perfect, therefore, as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48).
Is it possible to be perfect?
With these words, Jesus set an unattainable standard for us to live by.
His words summed up what the Ten Commandments demanded.
As you can see, this standard is impossible to meet.
Yet God could not lower it without compromising His own perfection.
God, who is perfect, could not set an imperfect standard of righteousness.
The Gospel allows us to meet that standard
1Co5.21???????????
The Bible is a guide
What is the purpose of a guide?
To help you find your way.
Do you have any idea where you are going?
Well, God stands ready to point you in the right direction, and He has given you a guidebook in the Bible.
The Bible is a light.
As Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Whereas a guide leads you on unknown paths, a lamp provides the light for the path you are on so you don’t trip, fall, or get lost.
In this life, you will have times when you walk “through the valley of shadow of death” (Psalm 23:4 NASB).
But the Bible can be your light to show you the way ahead so you won‘t stumble.
It will help you to discern truth from error and expose Satan with all his lies and deception.
Study the Bible so you will be able to see your way clearly and stay on the right path—God’s path.
Let it be your guidebook for life.
The Bible is a map.
A guide leads the way, a lamp lights the way, but a map shows the way.
Do you realize that Earth is not your home, that you are only passing through?
1 Peter 2:11 (ESV)
11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
The Bible equips you.
Most handbooks are training manuals.
If you want to do your job well, then you must read and follow the instructions in the manual.
It’s the same way with the Bible.
Someone read from the NASB… 2Tim3.16
2 Timothy 3:16 (NASB95)
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
What else is 100% in your life… death and taxes!
Teaching—The Bible is “God-breathed”—it’s from God Himself, which makes its teachings a source of authority on how you should live your life.
Reproof—The Bible offers rebuke to those in sin.
Who better to hold you accountable for right living than God Himself through His Word!
Correction—The Bible explains what it means to turn away from sin and toward righteous living.
Training or instruction—The Bible shows you how to live a life that pleases God and glorifies His name.
The Bible gives wisdom.
Where does wisdom come from?
God is the source of all wisdom.
And because God is the author of the Bible you can be assured that it is filled with His wisdom.
But wisdom doesn’t just happen.
You have to decide to “get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:5).
How??? Do we “get wisdom?
This requires reading and studying the truths of the Bible.
Wisdom is then produced as you apply God’s life-changing truths to your life.
What Does This Mean for You?
You can count on the Bible 100 percent of the time for 100 percent perfect instruction and information.
It is indeed the 100 percent perfect handbook for life—which makes it an essential resource.
Remember, the Bible shows you the way to eternal life, and is given to you “so that [you] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17).
2Tim3.17
“17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Be faithful to study God’s Word so you will know how to do God’s work and endure the challenges you face.
