A workman Approved

  A workman approved

The apostle Paul when writing to Timothy states:

“Do your best to present yourself to God

as one approved,

a workman who does not need to be ashamed

                                and who correctly handles the Word of truth.”                                                                                                     2Timothy 2:15.

Here Paul tells Timothy and through Timothy us to correctly handle “the Word of truth” 

In chapter four of 2Timothy we read,

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  

They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2Timothy 4:3,4.

It is easy to deliberately misuse the scriptures. There are many high profile evangelist and pastors out there who have done and still are misinterpreting God’s word. As such, as believers in Christ Jesus we must be careful. We must pray and study the scriptures for ourselves. We need as Paul states,

"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2Timothy 2:15.

Are you doing this?
