Teaching About the Bible
But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they
are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you…The Holy
Scriptures have given you wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by
trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach
us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens
us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God’s way of preparing us in
every way, fully equipped to do every good thing God wants us to do.
