"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
perfect (complete), thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy
3:16-17)
Have you ever found yourself
trying to put a new appliance or tool together, or attempted to operate a new
gadget and discovered that you had left the instructions in the box it came in?
That's happened to most of us. In frustration
you get out the instructions and start over.
Now, everything works. As someone said, "When all else fails, read
the instructions."
God has given us a book of
instructions on how to live here and prepare for eternity. In the two verses above we are told that
these instructions are "God Breathed," or given by inspiration of
God. This book gives us sound doctrine
and what we should believe. It expresses
disapproval when our actions are in error.
It corrects us and sets us on a good path. It states as its purpose that we might be
complete and prepared to do good works.
If your life is out of control
with no meaning and everything is falling apart, I strongly encourage you to
read, believe and practice the instructions the Lord and Master has given
us. After all, God the Creator made
us. He knows what's best for us.
