See how great a love

2 Timothy 3:16, 17

V. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness ;

V. 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

· The Word says ALL Scripture is inspired and profitable.

Verse 17 goes hand in hand with 1 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

Interesting that the original Greek word for accurately & handling are the same and it means to cut straight, to cut straight ways, to proceed on straight paths, hold a straight course, equiv. to doing right to make straight and smooth, to handle aright, to teach the truth directly and correctly.

God gives us this power to present His Word but it must be according to His guidance and leadership, not our will but His Will be done!

Look at the Son of God’s confession in John 5:19- Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing ; forwhatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

And John 5:30-"I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge ; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Where are we to be? I’m so glad you asked. Jesus stated in John chapter 15 that He is the true vine and we are the branches and apart from Him, we can do nothing! These Scriptures really take on new power and meaning when we correlate them with Jesus’s prayer in John 17, especially verse 21- that they may all be one ; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
