Key Verse: 3:16

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

1. Salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (15)

Paul reminds Timothy of the Holy Scriptures he was taught all his childhood, which can make him (and us) wise: able to understand God's plan of salvation through faith in Christ. This is the foundation of all we have, all we are, and all we have done. As we close this year, let us remember and thank God who saved us through Christ Jesus.

2. Useful for teaching, rebuking… (16-17)

What Timothy needed most importantly to grow was the God-breathed word. This word taught, rebuked, corrected, and trained Timothy, equipping him for every good work he did before and would do moving forward. In the same way, the Holy Spirit works through Scripture to train and equip us. How has God's word specifically trained you in righteousness or equipped us for good works over the past year? Let us thank God and commit all the more to the ministry of the word in the coming year.

Prayer: Father, thank you for saving me through Jesus Christ, and for training and equipping me through your word. Help me keep in mind all the ways you taught me through your word and commit to obey them in the coming year.

One Word: Hold to the God-breathed Scripture
