“MAN OF GOD!”

 2 Timothy 3:16-17                    (ESV)

“[16] All Scripture is breathed out by GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, [17] that the “MAN OF GOD” may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

Perhaps I peruse social media too often?  However, the things that you see can utterly cause you to ponder the thinking of others?  Recently I saw a post that only asked “Do you believe the Bible is truly inspired by God.”  I didn’t read all of the responses but, surprisingly enough, a LOT of people did NOT believe that Scripture was by the Divine Inspiration of GOD.  Apparently their EYES have yet to be OPENED to SEE the TRUTH contained within SCRIPTURE can change their life???

“All SCRIPTURE is BREATHED out by GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof (conviction), for correction, and training for righteousness, that the “MAN OF GOD” may be complete, equipped for every good work.”  The WORD OF GOD can do an IMMEASURABLE work, but only when the SPIRIT OF GOD works in a person’s heart!  

A lot of unbelievers DO NOT have the SPIRIT OF GOD working in their heart.  Romans 1:28 enlightens us to understand “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge GOD, GOD gave them up to a debased (reprobate) mind to do what ought not to be done.”  I would not have the SPIRIT OF GOD working on me had HE not CHOSEN me before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) to be HIS servant!  

Has HE CHOSEN you to serve HIM as well?  You can be a “MAN OF GOD”, complete, equipped for every good work if you are being DRAWN by the HOLY SPIRIT.  Will everything be easy and without conflict?  ABSOLUTELY NOT!  But the PEACE and COMFORT are UNIMAGINABLE and the LONG TERM benefits are OUT OF THIS WORLD!  Being a “MAN OF GOD” is something that I wouldn’t trade for anything in “this world”, for it will only “pass away”!!!
