Bible Verse
“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.” ~ 2 Timothy 3:16
Meaning
The verse 2 Timothy 3:16 takes us to the heart of the inspiration of the Scriptures: they are “God-breathed,” infused with His life and truth. It means that the Bible is the inspired word of God, it carries the divine authority of God Himself. Each word in the Bible has been crafted with purpose and is full of wisdom.
Next, the verse reveals four reasons for God’s inspiration: teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. This signifies that scripture serves as our guiding light. It teaches us about God’s love, His righteousness, His promises, and His plan for humanity. It rebukes and corrects us when we deviate from the path of righteousness, encouraging us to live accordingly to God’s will.
The purpose of all these? It is for us, the servants of God, to be thoroughly equipped for all good works. The scripture prepares us, instructs us, and equips us to lead a godly life and to serve others in love.”
