What Profit Is There In The Bible?
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
1. For doctrine – doctrine is the teachings from the Bible. The Word of God has some things it wants
to teach you. We are living in a time when bible doctrine is being set aside in favor of tradition and
religion. But remember Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
2. For reproof – This has to do with your behavior. The Word of God will build godly character in
His people. Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, ... and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
3. For correction – This has to do with your thinking process. The Word of God will change how you
think about things. You will begin to have a godly viewpoint. 1 Cor 2:16 ... But we have the mind of
Christ.
The Word of God is profitable above all things!
