The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Paul affirms in these verses the divine origin of the scriptures. The Bible is not a human product but it is a divine product. Peter wrote, “knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21)
Because the Bible is a divine product it gives tells us everything that we need to serve God. It is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training or instruction. Someone said, “it tells us what is right, it tells us what is not right, it tells us how to get right, and it tells us how to stay right.” If we follow the scriptures we will be complete and equipped to do the work of God.
