| Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. (Psalm 1:1–3) |
| Our directive from God’s Holy Word: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. When we are lost and confused, His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. His words throw a beam of light on the path so we do not stumble. |
| Reasons for Knowing God’s Word: 1. Knowledge gives substance to faith. On what do those who do not know the truth rely? On emotion, on feelings, on someone else’s opinion, on a book, on tradition, or some other empty, humanistic hope. And the result? Their faith lacks substance. That is especially revealing when they are under attack or when testing comes. That thought introduces the next benefit. 2. Knowledge stabilizes us during times of testing. When we know what God has said, and then we go through a period of pain when the bottom virtually drops out of our life, we don’t panic, we don’t doubt, we don’t skip the faith. The knowledge we have gained stabilizes us and equips us with essential, calming fortitude when the tests come. 3. Knowledge enables us to handle the Bible accurately. By knowing the general themes of Scripture, we are better able to handle the Scriptures intelligently and wisely. A working knowledge of the doctrines, for example, gives us confidence in using Scripture. 4. Knowledge equips us to detect and confront error. As I mentioned earlier, when you know where you stand spiritually, no one can get you off course. When you’re hearing erroneous information, you don’t need someone to nudge you and say, “Did you get that? Listen to that. That’s not true, is it?” Or “You know, in light of what Scripture teaches, what he just presented is out of whack.” Why? Because you have gone to the trouble to know the scoop. You can’t be intimidated. Your antennae have been sensitized. 5. It makes us confident in our daily walk. Show me a person who stumbles along in the Christian faith, and I’ll show you a person who isn’t exposing himself or herself to a consistent intake of the Scriptures. The learning process has somehow been stifled, interrupted, or put on “hold.” Biblical knowledge and personal confidence are like Siamese twins, inseparably linked together. 6. A good foundation of spiritual truth filters out our fears and superstitions. How important! God’s truth has a way of silencing those erroneous voices that would otherwise siphon our inner energy and immobilize us. |

| 1. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 2. Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” 3. Hebrews 13:5 “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 4. Matthew 6:25–33 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 5. Isaiah 40:29–31 “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” 6. Jeremiah 29:11 “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” 7. Philippians 4:6–7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 8. Psalm 23 “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” 9. Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” 10. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” 11. Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” |

| And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 Scripture was given to us so we might know the Father, be reconciled to Him through His Son, and bring glory to His name. Therefore, we should make it a goal to become familiar with His precious Word. This is what The Theological Bible Studies Institute is all about. |
