ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED ( Part 1)

 The crooked paths shall be made straight because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED  ( Part 1) 

 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work." (AMP)

Key Apologetic Themes:

1. THE DIVINE INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE

"God-breathed" establishes the Bible’s unique authority, asserting that it originates from God Himself.

Apologetically, this verse affirms the supernatural nature of Scripture, countering claims that it is merely a human product. Christians can argue for the Bible's unity and consistency, despite being written over 1,500 years by various authors, as evidence of divine authorship.

2. THE BIBLE'S RELEVANCE AND USEFULNESS

The text outlines four key purposes of Scripture:

1. INSTRUCTION: Teaching truth and revealing God's character.

2. CONVICTION: Exposing sin and moral failure.

3. CORRECTION: Guiding believers back to God's path.

4. TRAINING: Equipping believers to live righteously.

These functions highlight the Bible's enduring relevance, addressing both personal growth and societal ethics.

3. EQUIPPING FOR EVERY GOOD WORK

This verse positions Scripture as sufficient for preparing believers for all aspects of life and ministry.

 It refutes the idea that other sources or revelations are necessary for salvation or moral guidance, emphasizing the sufficiency and completeness of the Bible.

   In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to defend the gospel at all cost as the early disciples did. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome evil manipulations.
