If we are not committed to God's word (=the Bible), how can we say we are committed to Him?

1. God's Word Saves Us (2 Tim 3:18) 

• Without God's word we could not know how to be saved.
• Only the Bible provides rules for life and living: how to please God. 

2. God's Word Disciplines Us (2 Tim 3:16) 

• The word can instruct us and correct us when we need it. 

3. God's Word Empowers Us (2 Tim 3:17) 

• It equips us for good works.
• Reading about Jesus empowers us to know how to live righteously. 

4. God's Word Motivates Us (2 Tim 4:2) 

• Preach God's word at all times.
• Don't let the season determine the preaching.
