One of My Favorite Bible Verses

Hello!

How is everyone?  I just wanted to share one of my favorite Bible verses with ya'll.  I have many favorite Bible verses but one of them is 2 Timothy 2:15.  This scripture verse says

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."


  • Study means "to apply the mind to; to read and examine for the purpose of learning and understanding".  This confirms that we need to study God's Word.  We ought to strive to learn and understand His Holy Word. 
  • The definition of approved is "liked; commended; shown or proved to be worthy".  We need to study the Word of God to show ourselves approved or proved to be worthy.  
  • The word ashamed means "affected by shame; abashed or confused by guilt or a conviction of some criminal action or indecorous conduct, which the person is conscious must be wrong".  If we study the scriptures we won't need to be ashamed.  We are guilty, and should be ashamed if we don't study His Word.  

I like 2 Timothy 2:15 because it tells us how and why we should study the scriptures.
