2 Timothy 3:14-17, “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
Any individual, church, or movement that does not honor God’s Word cannot rightfully claim to honor Him. What could be more offensive to the Lord God than to deny, disregard, or distort the truth He has revealed (Revelation 22:18-19)? To mishandle God’s Word is to misrepresent Him. To reject its truth claims is to call God a liar. To ignore its message is to snub that which the Holy Spirit inspired. The Scriptures reflect the holy character of God. Therefore…
- Because God is TRUTH, His Word is INFALLIBLE
- Because God cannot LIE, His Word is INERRANT
- Because God is the KING of KINGS, His Word is ABSOLUTE and SUPREME
The physical book is not what is revered, but God who has infallibly revealed Himself therein. Today’s text describes all Scripture as God’s very breath. It speaks with His Authority. There is no possible source of truth that is more reliable, or more worthy of our devotion. God has personally exalted His Word to the highest level (Psalm 138:1-2).
Right at the start of 2026, let’s make a commitment or reaffirm a commitment to honor, read, learn, and live the Word of God.
