Bible Note: Greetings, If we are ignorant of God’s Word and suffer as a result, (“Man... how I suffer because of ignorance, and God bothers in making evil spirits aware of the mysteries of life, while we have to be groping in the dark like Job....”) It’s because we have neglected to be obedient to God’s command to us. 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The word “study” in the previous verse is the Koine Greek word “SPUDAZO” and it is in the imperative mood and the active voice which means you are to produce the action and the imperative mood means it is commanded by the Lord. By not doing this it will put one out of fellowship and your growth will be stunted. In order to grow “in Christ” we are constantly put to the test to see if we will apply Bible doctrine to our experiences or fail by trying to sustain ourselves through the energy of the flesh which is nothing more then responding to the dictates of our old sin nature. This grieves the Holy Spirit who is our personal teacher and retards the super natural way of life that’s provided for us by the Father. Christ always used Bible doctrine to combat the cosmos attacks of spiritual wickedness. Do your self a big favor and get more involved with the intake of Bible doctrine on a daily basis! Have a great day, CDBJ |
