FAITH CAPSULE: Are you giving all to the word of God?
2 Timothy 3
God gave it all to all man not to become a victim of the wicked but to live life abundantly to the glory of God. John 10:10 records it, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”Are you giving all to the word of God not to become a victim of the thief, the wicked one?
The word of God declares in Genesis 6:5, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Are you giving attention to be searching for yourself not to live life as a wicked one before God?
With no exception, God has given ALL, His word to accept by learning His word not to be a wicked one but to live life abundantly for His glory.
God, in His word, He has given to all what it takes to live life, to be complete before Him.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 records, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
God has given Himself to all in His word.
Accepting God’s word is giving self to God’s word as a way of life.
Have you been giving yourself to the word of God that is profitable for living life?
Are you learning from the word of God the source of having hope of God in this wicked world?
Romans 15:4 points out, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope”
Give self to the word of God, the wisdom of God, to learn the word of God, to gain understanding and knowledge not to become a victim of the wicked world.
The word of God is the wisdom of God for all.
The wisdom of God is Jesus Christ for us. 1 Corinthians 1:30 records, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
Give yourself to learning the word of God!
Are you a wicked one that is living life outside of the word of God?
Jeremiah 12:1-2 identifies the wicked, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.”
The wicked ones have the word of God in the mouth but far from the mind.
Give self to God’s word to avoid the thief, the wicked one!
