From God's Breath, Scripture and Jesus

2 Tim.3:16-17  All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
1 Tim.4:13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.
2 Pet.1:19-21 And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from some one's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
John 5:37-40 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
We are to live on God's word! God's word is supreme among us! God's word is sanctifying in us! God's word is sufficient for us! God's word is satisfying to us!
Deut.8:3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Lord, reveal Yourself to us through Your holy word. Let us become faithful in word and deed by your power. Help us to teach Your word and to show the hope that is found in You and You alone. Forgive us! Amen
