The writers of The Word of God, The Bible, wrote God's Word over a period of time, over 1,500 years. All types of people wrote God's Word. Let's look at how we got that wonderful Word of God. Let's see what God has delivered to us through these many writers of the Scriptures. 2 Timothy 3:16 \u201cAll scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:\u201d Doctrine is Right teaching for right believing. You know and understand the Scriptures. Then you'll know how to live victoriously and abundantly. Galatians 1:11 & 12 \u201cBut I certify [Guarantee you] you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.\u201d Paul got the information from God by Revelation about Jesus Christ and all that he accomplished for us, written in the Church Epistles.  2 Peter 3:15 & 16 \u201cAnd account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.\u201d Paul got information from God that gave him wisdom. To help in our lives, without that wisdom, understanding it, and living it will bring destruction. Luke 1:1 \u2013 4 \u201cForasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.\u201d That we may know the certainty and believe in all the accomplished works of Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:20 & 21 \u201cKnowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.\u201d The Holy Ghost is The Holy Spirit. God wants you to know. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a letter from God so we could know Him and what he wants for us? God did. Hebrews 3:7 \u201cWherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,\u201d This is God again, and he's saying, " Today, you could hear from me if you would just pick up the book and read it. Psalm 95:7 \u201cFor he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,\u201d It is God's good pleasure to give you a more abundant life and the ability to live each and every day victoriously Jeremiah 36:1 \u2013 4 \u201cAnd it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. 3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.\u201d Psalm 12:6 \u201cThe words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.\u201d Psalm 119:105 \u201cThy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.\u201d Psalm 119:162 \u201cI rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.\u201d Jeremiah 15:16 \u201cThy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.\u201d Jeremiah 2:13 \u201cFor my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.\u201d Hosea 4:6a \u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:\u201d Matthew 4:3 & 4 \u201cAnd when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.\u201d 2 Timothy 2:15 \u201cStudy to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.\u201d All of God's Word needs to be rightly understood, accurately understood to whom it's written, where it's written, and why it's written.
