DIVIDING THE WORD

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Many quote today’s scripture while focusing on only one aspect of its meaning. It not only highlights the importance of being a competent student of the Word but also reveals the method required to study it. Just as division in mathematics splits numbers into equal parts, the instruction to “rightly divide the word of truth” shows the need to dedicate equal time and effort to every area of scripture.Whether financial, marital, social, or otherwise, all scripture is for the benefit of the Church. Learn to divide your time evenly across everything the Word offers. When you grasp this, you arm yourself against the enemy regardless of the tool he attempts to use against you.
