God breathed


All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. – 2 Timothy 3.16-17

Why is the Bible so different? Why does it have such an impact on lives and hearts? It is called living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. How does that happen?

It is because it is God-breathed. Because it is the very breath of God it has profit beyond compare. Because it is the breath of God it is profitable for teaching and encouraging and for correction in righteousness.

Because it is the very breath of God it completes us and equips us. It has the answer, if not directly it has the principles and guidelines so that we can know how God wants us to a t or think.

Being the very breath of God that He promises to preserve, we can faith that He will use it if we just yield.

The word is not just a written version of oral history. It is not just a a series of tales and stories. It is more than just human teachings and morality lessons and stories. It is the breath of the Holy Spirit passed on to human authors as directed by Him and recorded for man to read and trust.

The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me!
