Scripture of the Day: Divide the Word of Truth Part 2
According to 2 Timothy 2:15 we are to rightly divide the word of truth.
How do we do that?
We divide the word of truth by studying the word of God. 2 Corinthians 13:1 says, in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. We can confirm God’s word by comparing it with two or three witnesses in the Bible.
RULE: If a statement is made by a person in the Bible but, that statement does not have additional people (at least 2) confirming that statement, it is NOT a statement of truth. This rule applies in the world today. If someone writes or says something that can’t be confirmed by 2 or 3 witnesses in the Bible. That statement is NOT a statement of truth.
Take your time to rightly divide the word of truth.
2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
Be Blessed!
1. Resisting sin starts with our mind control.
Romans 8:6So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
2. But we do have a continual choice to submit our minds to the Spirit and please God.
9But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)
3. We have been set free, but we have to choose to exhibit a controlled mind (by casting down thoughts and replacing them with the Word) and put to death the sin nature.
12Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 13For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
