SCRIPTURE TRAINING – Daily Devotional

Devotional Message:
(2 Timothy 3:16)
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."

This verse reminds us of the incredible value of God’s Word. The Bible is not just a historical book or a collection of wise sayings—it is God’s inspired message to humanity. Every word in Scripture carries divine authority because it comes from God Himself.

4. Training in righteousness – Just like an athlete trains for a competition, we must train ourselves spiritually. By consistently applying God’s Word, we develop godly character, grow in faith, and become more like Christ.

God has given us the Bible not just to inform us but to transform us. When we take Scripture seriously, it shapes our thoughts, attitudes, and actions, making us equipped for every good
