Buy The Truth

Requirements For Bible Studying And Preaching These are various cross references that I have added to two main passages in my Bible study app - passages that deal with studying the Word of God, and with preaching the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The King James Bible is the only Bible version that commands us to “ study ” it. What spiritual requirements are needed for someone to rightly divide and understand God’s Word?

See also James 4:7. A good cross reference for 2 Timothy 1:7 is Romans 8:15. We are not given the spirit of fear - but the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of adoption. The word for power is dunamis, where we get dynamite from - spiritual power. This is the spiritual power to make an impact for the Lord...
