What is the Bible all about? What is its purpose? How can we get the most out of studying the Bible? This lesson is part of a series of studies entitle, "Living the Word" taught at the Lighthouse Freedom Center. These slides will help you if you're following us online on Sunday at 8:45.

4. • God’s Word – the revelation of God
• Yeshua/Jesus – salvation (Jn. 1:1, 2, 14)
• Truth (Psa. 119:160; Jn. 17:17)
• Life (Jn. 10:10; 14:6)

5. 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to show yourself
approved unto God, a workman that needs not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

6. 2 Corinthians 3:2

7. • Knowing God’s Word (Psa. 119:105)
• Knowing & Showing Jesus (Col. 1:27)

9. 2 Timothy 3:14-17
(NKJV) 14 But you must continue in the things
which you have learned and been assured of,
knowing from whom you have learned them, 15
and that from childhood you have known the
Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you
wise for salvation through faith which is in
Christ Jesus. 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.

10. 2 Timothy 3:14-17
(TPT) 14Yet you must continue to advance in strength
with the truth wrapped around your heart, being
assured by God that he’s the One who has truly
taught you all these things. 15Remember what you
were taught from your childhood from the Holy
Scrolls which can impart to you wisdom to
experience everlasting life through the faith of Jesus,
the Anointed One! 16Every Scripture has been written
by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God. It will
empower you by its instruction and correction, giving
you the strength to take the right direction and lead
you deeper into the path of godliness. 17Then you
will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly
prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.
