TRUTH: A Study In 2 Timothy 3 – Part 3: Scripture Transforms Us

Scripture reveals to us God’s will and purpose and is therefore profitable for our transformation. Paul tells Pastor Timothy about the power of the Scriptures to transform us into the image of Christ, “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 corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” Paul is essentially saying the same thing to the Christians in Rome, Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. If you are not being transformed by scripture, then you are being transformed by the culture which stands in violent opposition to God.
