How to approach your study of the Bible
(By Rick Lambert)
Guardedly!
II Timothy 1:13-14 – Follow the
pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love
that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard
the good deposit entrusted to you.
- “Follow the pattern of the sound words…” Possess and claim as your own the Word
of God as given to you for your delight, protection and spiritual
nourishment.
- “…guard the good deposit…” (phulassō – to watch; to keep something safe). The Word is a trust given to us; a
treasure of God’s grace that informs of God’s doing, and the expressed
details of His will. It reveals His
glory, and infuses us with His strength.
It is a constant comfort even when used to rebuke and correct us.
