II. Tlrn PROFITABLENESS OF SCRIPTURE, 2 Timothy 3: 14-17. V. 14. This is one of the Pastoral Epistles, so called because they deal with the different problems which arise in the life of a minister or pas- tor. Among these duties au import- ant place must be assigned to the right use of the Bible, which is the authority for our knowledge of the way of salvation. It contains a reve- lation of the mind of God. The true pastor, therefore, must rest his in- struction on the book. Paul warns Timothy that he will meet with many kinds of evil, but if he is sure of his scriptural knowledge, there will be no danger of his failure. He reminds Timothy .that he has been brought up , 'in this way. Those here referred to are his mother and grandmother, see chap._Z1.: 5. V. 15. The Holy Scriptures are the books of the Old Testament, for as yet the New Testament had not been in- cluded in the sacred list. The Chris- tians made much use of the Old Testa- ment, and read certain passages in their services. Paul often quotes the Law and the Prophets, and draws many lessons from these scriptures. At a later time the word scripture was applied to the New Testament, and now "scriptures" means our Bible. The Sews were taught to study the scriptures from an early age. The regulation was that a child should be- gin to learn the law by heart when fiv.i years old. Paul says that these scriptures make leen wise unto sal- vation, by which he may mean that they predict the coming of Christ, and prepare the way for thegospel to be preached. Jesus also had said that the seriptures testified of himself. But Paul is careful to add that it is not the here reading that saves. The book is not a fetish. It is faith which is quickened by the reading of the Bible. The scriptures' bring us to Christ who saves, V. 16. These scriptures are here said to be inspired, that is, thep are filled with the spirit of God, and be- come the living oracles of God. See Acts 7: 38. We may compare the words of 2 Peter 1: 21, "Holy leen of God r,pake :ts these were moved by the iloly Ghost." Paul is thus certain that the truths of the Old Testament are not mere human wisdom, but they are the expression of the mind and will of Cod. The church has always accepted this positien for the New and Olcl alike.,, This passage has been earnmued up in the following 'words, holy Scripture teaches the ignars alt;, convicts the evil and prejudiced, corrode the 'fallen and erring, and trains in righteousness all men." V. 17. The study of the Bible beings ings such rich 'results, that if one has a well-disposed mind he will be. so strengthened ` by these inspired words, that he will be macre perfectly fit to undertake all kinds of ('hristian work.
