“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15). You can’t just take one or even two verses and base a whole doctrine on that. You have to take the Whole Bible and put the verses together to get a more accurate understanding. It’s like putting a great puzzle together. “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17:11). The Lord loves a mystery because he wants to see who are his sheep and who wants to find his Truth and who loves him. “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29). An example of this would be the false teaching of “You Can Lose Your Salvation” Where the scripture says; “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12). This is Clearly referring to searching all the scriptures on this subject to get a clear picture of what the Lord is saying to us. The next verse (Philippians 2:13) Says “it is God which worketh in you both the will and to do of his good pleasure.” See how the next verse ( Philippians 2:13) explains the meaning of verse 12. If you only took verse 12 you would get the interpretation that we had to work our way to Salvation. Also the false doctrine of Pre Tribulation Rapture, (Please read the teaching “Is Pre-Tribulation Rapture True or Not?” In www.answersintheword.com.) This false doctrine of Pre-Tribulation Rapture makes the Whole BIBLE sequence of events impossible to clearly understand by throwing off the correct sequence of events. The devil always tries to bring confusion, division, and chaos. Jesus said to some of the so called learned Scribes and Pharasses “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”(John 8:44). So do you see how important it is to take all the scriptures and study them and put them together for your own foundation of faith so you can be a “good soldier”? “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”(2 Timothy 2:1-3). “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.”(2 Chronicles 16:9). If you want to make the Lord pleased and happy with you then show him you love him by doing this. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”(Joshua 1:8). “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”(Matthew 13:45-46). There is a great treasure map put before you. Study it carefully to find the prize.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things and sins, I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen
