Spiritual DisciplinesGod's SovereigntyDiscipleshipIdentity in Christ2 Timothy 3:16–172 Timothy 3:14–15Ephesians 2:10
Summary
Reading the Bible transforms from a burdensome discipline into a holy habit when understood as an inspired, God-breathed story about Jesus—not a textbook for information or a self-help manual for immediate transformation. By sitting at Jesus's feet daily and accepting his invitation to listen, believers align themselves with Scripture's four purposes (teaching, rebuking, correcting, training in righteousness) and become equipped for the good works God has prepared for them.
Highlights
The way that you continue in the faith, firmly believing in Jesus, is because you know those who taught you the scriptures, and because of that, you trust it now.
The Bible is not a textbook for information or a self-help book for immediate transformation. The Bible is an inspired story about Jesus. And you know what that means? It comes with an invitation, an invitation every morning, every noon, every night, to sit at His feet.
Primarily, I am a son of the living God who has been invited to a table I don't belong to to hear stories from my Father in heaven about Jesus and how good he is and how much he loves me.
