2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Being equipped in the word of God will help us to discern the teachings, movements and errors that pop up now and then.
His word helps us in every area of our life. It helps us to know whether or not we are being fooled. It equips us to know how to handle certain situations that we may face. It keeps us balanced in our hearts and prevents us from taking things to extremes, etc.
It’s sad to think that good, innocent people get off track because they don’t know what the word says at times.
They love God and want to do what is right. But sometimes they get caught up in the wrong thing because they don’t know what the scripture says regarding it.
There are Christians right now, as we speak, who are walking a path that’s far from the truth, because of things they heard or saw, and they unwittingly accepted them as truth.
It’s important that, as believers, we know the scriptures. And it is equally as important that we understand them in their proper context.
Why? Because if we don’t know what God’s word says, we will listen to whatever may sound good, or whatever may feel good at the time. And we may mistake it as God’s truth.
We need to remember that not everything God says or does feels good. He brings perfect balance through His word, even when it might not feel pleasant.
God’s word helps us and protects us from being misled by those things that might sound like truth, but can actually lead us into error and away from God’s truth.
Psalm 33:4 (NKJV) 4 For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.
