You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. 2 Timothy 3:17 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
17 That [hina] the man [anthropos] of God [theos] may be [o] perfect, [artios] throughly furnished [exartizo] unto [pros] all [pas] good [agathos] works. [ergon] KJV-Interlinear
17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. NASB Man, 'anthropos,' means human being. Whether you are male or female is irrelevant. All humans are referenced here. Of God, 'theos,' is a reference to the divine Trinity in general, but more important it is a reference to the essence and principles represented by God and His existence. And therefore, the person who pursues and follows and adopts Gods principles, mandates, and such, to his or her own life, is the Godly person. Perfect, 'artios,' means complete, and is the key here, for it refers to the completion of ones being, or maturity in other swords. Thoroughly furnished, 'exartizo,' adds to the completion and refers to being equipped, to finish as in the finishing process of a building, to furnish. And this refers to a home that has been constructed, but needs the finishing touches to make it a functional home, ie. carpet, furniture, kitchen, bath, bedroom utensils and accessories, paint, decorations, landscaping and on and on. Good, 'agathos,' refers to good of intrinsic value, fundamental, inherent, beneficial, valuable, favorable. And works, 'ergon,' refers to toil, work, result, occupation, and this means to make this whole process the central and focal point of ones life, thus making all of ones efforts and production meaningful and permanent to the benefit of ones eternal life. Therefore, not all that you do in life, but all that you do from within your spiritual life, becomes credited to you personally for eternal reward. That reward will be provided to you at the Judgment Seat of Christ, when one day you will stand before Him. Any and all of your work efforts which are done from a position out of fellowship, and therefore from the source of the sin nature, are not credited to you. So, we have completed three chapters of this book, and what have we learned? One, God has provided you with a phenomenal opportunity. An opportunity that is far greater than anything available or even possible in this world. That opportunity will exist as a reality in eternity and its value is beyond calculation. Two, because of this opportunity, you have an obligation to God to hear His proposal and plan specifically for your life, as well as the general plan for all of human history. Three, that plan requires that you be a completed person, in all matters that are spiritual. Four, that plan requires that you be a member of Gods family, which membership is accomplished through the function of salvation, which you obtain through believing in Jesus Christ. Five, the completion of your life requires that you grow up within your spiritual life to maturity, and use what you learn and know, in your daily life, which becomes your production. Six, the source information for that growth is Bible doctrine. Doctrine brings you profit, spiritual profit. Seven, you must learn doctrine through an academic process of instruction, and learn through a daily commitment to study. Eight, you must be in fellowship in order for your spiritual life and for this whole process to function properly and become beneficial to you. Nine, your spiritual growth and production, completes your life and prepares you for the ultimate evaluation of your life by Christ, when you stand before Him at the Judgment Seat of Christ, in heaven. Ten, the spiritually completed person, will receive rewards, blessings, privileges and more which are all beyond imagination, and will possess them for all of eternity. In the spiritual life, there is no room for compromise, no room for pretense, no room for human invented ideas, no room for excuses. The spiritual life must be accomplished from within the sphere of Gods righteousness and justice, thus leaving out all human factors. Sincerity, emotions and good intentions are all excluded. You have a phenomenal opportunity to define and design and obtain your next life, something that you did not have before this current life. Don't foul it up by indifference and stiff necked opinions.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
