18 U n d e r s t a n d i n g t h e B i b l e our lives in malice and envy; others hated us and we hated them. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was revealed, he saved us . . . the Holy Spirit . . . gives us new birth and new life . . . (Titus 3:3-5). Study of Scripture should change our ways of living. Faith “To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. It was by their faith that people of ancient times won God’s approval” (Hebrews 11:1- 2). Faith for forgiveness, for understanding God’s plan in the world, for the reality of eternal life in Christ Jesus, all must come from the words of the Bible. Jesus said, “The words I have spoken to you bring God’s life-giving Spirit” (John 6:63). Without the Bible to guide him, man puts his faith in wrong things such as idols, forces of nature, or material possessions. Studying the Bible will not only show you the living God who deserves and commands your faith, but the Holy Spirit will use that study to cause faith in God to develop and mature within your heart. Service Biblical knowledge of God and His ways brings us the responsibility of sharing that knowledge with others. The world is hungry for the truth of God. It is God’s plan that His kingdom grow because of this principle of sharing. Jesus shared in this way. He taught people, then He sent them to teach others. Luke 10:1 tells of His sending out 72 men ahead of Him into the towns where He was about to go. They could share with others what they had learned from Jesus. We too must share in this way.
O p e n i n g t h e B i b l e 19 Application 1 Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Use those verses to find the answers for the following questions: a The Scriptures, inspired by God, are useful for what four purposes? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . b What are the two ultimate goals of the action of Scripture on the life of the believer? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Circle the letter before each statement that is true: a) Studying and reading are the same thing. b) Studying takes more effort than mere reading because it means that you must examine the facts and think deeply about them. c) The Bible should be studied to discover God’s will for living, for faith, and for service to Him. Approach to a Revealed Book Objective 3. Explain the meaning of revelation. Objective 4. List three qualifications which make the approach to the Bible different from the approach to other books. Revelation is changing divine truth that was formerly unknown and unknowable to knowable and known truth. It is when God makes known His truths to the minds of men. When a Christian believer uses the word “Scripture,” he refers only to the Bible. Christians believe that the Bible is God’s only inspired message to man. Understanding this fact is the necessary starting point for any study of the Bible. Revelation makes the approach to the Bible unique (special, one-of-a-kind) in the three ways listed below.
