Bible Question: I am looking for verses that state a student's responsibility to keep up with his/her studies. |
Bible Answer: Hi CGomes, Please forgive me if I jumped to a conclusion here, but when you say study, I am presuming you mean scriptural studies?? The context that I would like to lead you to is preceded by this well known verse: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deu 6:5) The verse above should be memorized by a diligent student, through to verse 9. What this means is we are commanded by these verses to make God's Word saturate our environment. This shows where we place the priorities in our lives through our daily choices. The study of Scripture, therefore is the responsibility of every believer, It is the capability of every believer, and it is the Privelege of every believer. I say believer, because the meanings of Jesus' parables were obscured to the casual listener. Therefore we are granted certain requirements for learning, that the world does not necessarily possess, so I consider them as "gifts." The first requirement of learning is a New Heart, which gives us the capacity to learn. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. Secondly we must have a Hungry Heart, by which we gain the motivation to learn. Third is a Teachable Heart which is simply the openness to learn, as in "Do not harden your heart" Fourth is a Disciplined Heart which brings to us our commitment to learn, and comes from the word, 'disciple' Lastly, we will need an Obedient Heart which is excercised in the commitment to walk out what you have learned, by not being hearers only, but doers of the Word. Now is the prime question: Why would we want to study Scripture? There is of course much work involved, as in anything worthwhile, it is worth working for. Bible Knowledge is like precious ore in a mine -you find it when you are determined enough to get it. We are motivated to learn when we perceive that it is something that will benefit us. And remeber, the enemy of our souls has a vested interest in distancing us from God's Word. After all that, I will take you to the obvious verse, one that should not be overlooked, and that is 2Tim 3:16-17: 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2Ti 3:17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. God's Love to you and yours, Tim |
