June 4, 2025 – What Does God’s Word Do?
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Sermon: 2218 How to Have a Sure Word in Difficult Days, Part 1
Pray Over This
“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. 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.”
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Ponder This
The one thing that is lasting and has stood the test of time is the Word of God. If you don’t sow the word, you’re not going to have a crop. People are not saved by your testimony. They’re not saved by your ideas. They’re not saved by your philosophy. They are saved by the Word and the Holy Spirit.
The Word is also instrumental in sanctification. Paul says that he gives these Scriptures, “that the man of God may be perfect” (2 Timothy 3:16, KJV). That doesn’t mean sinless. There’s not a person alive who is sinless. The word perfect means mature. God wants us to grow up. You will never be a strong, mature Christian until you get in the Word of God.
The Scriptures are necessary for salvation. They’re necessary for sanctification. And they’re necessary for service. Paul goes on to say, “thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The idea is of a soldier’s equipment when going into battle. God does not send you into battle unarmed; He gives you the equipment for the battle, for service. We have faith in the Word of God, and it equips us at every level.
Whether you are a new believer, diving in deeper, or ready to serve, you need the Word of God.
- How do you prioritize time in the Word? What are some ways you can grow in making God’s Word a priority?
- How has God’s Word equipped you?
Practice This
Spend some extra time in the Word of God and write down a verse that stands out to you. Put it in a place you will see regularly.
