"Know the Word"
“Know the Word”
Blessings Folk!
The Lord is very clear.
We are to…
- abide in Him, John 15
- seek His Kingdom first, Matthew 6
- know His Word...many places
Read and give heed.
2 Timothy 2
14 Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
16 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,
17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”
So, we are reminded and charged.
We are not to wrangle about words...only leads to the ruin of hearers.
We are to be diligent to present ourselves approved to God.
Related to what?
Accurately handling the word of truth.
We can not accurately handle the word of truth if we do not know the word of truth.
One would think that is a basic principle, yet most professing believers do not seek to know the Word.
We have been so blessed.
We have the Word manifest…
- in written form...the Word of the Most High God
- in the Presence of the Holy Spirit in each true believer
- in His Body, the True Church, the organism of the Lord Himself.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God…
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Yet, we turn our back on the Word.
Today, consider imparting more of the Word into your spirit.

Give heed to the gathering together of yourself, especially for worship and the Word.
The days are growing in darkness.
We are in the last moments of the last days.
Will you be a vessel of the Most High?
Then, know the Word.
