“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the
servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
II Timothy 3:16-17
How much scripture is God-Breathed?
Our verse today says: A-L-L!
How much room does that leave for scripture that is
not God-breathed?
Of course the answer is no room at all.
That means a couple of things to me.
First of all – I don’t get to pick and choose what is
truth and what isn’t.
The hard parts are not negotiable, I can’t dilute
their meaning or their intended purposes for my life.
It really is a choice of all or nothing.
Secondly - from Genesis 1:1 all the way to Revelation
22:21, every part of the Word of God is useful to teach me, to rebuke and correct
me and to train me in righteousness.
Allow me to frame what that means to me (and to you) in
the form of a question for our consideration.
Will I accept God’s Word as the final authority for my
life?
Something to honestly consider, wouldn’t you say?
