```II Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV
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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.```
COMMENTARY
Learning scripture is aided by several factors. Sometimes listening to audio records of messages from sound bible expositors. Leaning on mentors save us from wrong interpretation and as well applications. Mentorship is very important because of applications, while readership, quiet time and listening to audio records watching of videos are also key to building our Bible knowledge especially in this age of technology.
For students of the Bible, our ingredients are the tools we use to help us understand Scripture. If we use good tools, we will develop a rich understanding of the Biblical world and learn how to apply the timeless truths found inside God’s Word. But if we turn to incomplete or inaccurate “ingredients”, our grasp of the Bible will come up short and possibly even lead us down dangerous paths.
2 Timothy urges us to become workers who are able to “rightly” handle the “word of truth.” The best way I know how to do this is: Discover the tools available to you to help you understand the Bible.
Pray that God will lead you to a godly mentor to help you use these tools.
Now, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools out there. There are commentaries, dictionaries, concordances, maps, language software, and more. The number one tool students of bible should begin with is simple: a good translation.
Food for thought:
There is treasure in the Word of God waiting for those who are willing to go after it._
Prayer:
```Equip me Lord with skill and help me to identify relevant tools that would deepen my understanding of scriptures in Jesus name```
