II Timothy 2: 15
Study to show thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
The first on-going practice of Truth is STUDY OF SCRIPTURE
We tend to shy away from the "d" word; "discipline" is oftentimes used as the opposite of freedom. This idea of discipline being restrictive, is one of the lies of the devil. Study of Scripture, hearing the Scripture taught, digging into the meaning of Bible passages, equips us for the work of GOD in every situation.
How many of us have asked this question, when faced with a problem: "What shall I do now?" Well, the Scripture holds the keys to answer that question. When we study the Scripture and learn the way of GOD, we are workmen in the field of GOD, unashamed and able to rightly divide the word of Truth. Freedom comes from knowing the way through the wilderness and who is a faithful guide. The Scripture shows the way and guides us along the path of righteousness.
Sound doctrine comes from hearing the Word of GOD continually. When we read and study the Bible we have the implanted word of GOD in our heart, before our eyes and in our ears. When we neglect the study of Scripture, we handicap ourselves and leave the door open for the enemy to deceive us with lies.
KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
