Proverbs 23:23 (KJV), “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”
“Apocalypse or what did they title the study? What will I gain from that? I won’t go to hell for not knowing these mysterious and confusing things, so, why border me with it?” This was Doshima’s conclusion after attending a Bible study on the book of Revelation.
How important is truth? Jesus said in John 8:32 (KJV), “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”. Truth is very important because it makes free.
Are there irrelevant truths in the Bible? According to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV), “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”. No, no truth is irrelevant. If a child of God wants to be perfect and throughly furnished unto all good works, he must be willing to study every part of scripture.
How terrible is ignorance? Ephesians 4:18 says it keeps people in darkness, alienates them from God, and blinds others. Also in 1 Peter 2:15, we see that ignorance is one of the characteristics of foolish men.
Ignorance either obliterates sight so you can’t see or weakens it, making you look down on what’s good because you don’t know its value. It is even worse when it exalts weaknesses because that’s all it knows.
God, knowing how important truth is and how terrible ignorance is, admonishes that we buy the truth and sell it not. He wants us to go the extra mile looking for truth and one easy place to find it is on the pages of the scriptures; the whole library of books; every sentence, every line, and every word.
Go into today determined to study to show yourself approved into God.
Prayer: Father, I ask that you give me grace to study. Open my eyes to the truth and let the truth make me free in Jesus’ name. Amen!
