III. We are to love, study, obey, and use all of Scripture as our guide. We are to understand it literally, grammatically, and historically. A. Romans 15: 4 B. 1 Corinthians 10: 1 -13 C. 2 Timothy 3: 14 thru 4: 4 D. Hebrews 4: 12 -13; 12: 1 -3

Romans 15: 4 [NASB] For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 4

2 Timothy 3: 14 - 4: 4 [NASB] You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned [them, ] 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be 14

2 Timothy 3: 14 - 4: 4 [NASB] I solemnly charge [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season [and] out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but [wanting] to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in 4 and will turn away accordance to their own desires, their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 1

Hebrews 4: 12 -13 [NASB] For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. 12

We hold in our hands a God breathed book, respect it, study it, love it, defend it, and apply it.
