                                  • 2 Timothy 3:16–17 ESV
                                    16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
                                    Introduction:
                                    ​

                                    I. The purpose of doctrine for the individual

                                    A. It leads to repentance

                                    2 Timothy 2:25 ESV
                                    25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,

                                    B. It leads to salvation

                                    1 Timothy 4:16 ESV
                                    16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
                                    See also Jn 20:31; 1 Co 1:21–24; 2 Ti 3:14–15

                                    C. It is necessary for Christian maturity and effective service

                                    2 Timothy 3:16–17 ESV
                                    16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
                                    See also Ps 19:7–8; Ac 2:42–43; Eph 4:11–14; Heb 5:13–14

                                    D. It makes possible a defence of the faith

                                    1 Peter 3:15–16 ESV
                                    15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
                                    See also Col 2:2–4; Jud 3

                                    E. It leads to enrichment and blessing

                                    Deuteronomy 32:1–4 ESV
                                    1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 2 May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb. 3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord; ascribe greatness to our God! 4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
                                    See also Ps 19:7–11; Ps 119:97–104; Is 55:10–13; Eze 3:1–3

                                    F. It leads to perfection

                                    Colossians 1:28 ESV
                                    28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

                                    II. Doctrine as the basis of faithful ministry in the church

                                    Titus 1:9 ESV
                                    9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
                                    1 Timothy 4:6–8 ESV
                                    6 If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

                                    See also 1 Ti 4:6; 1 Ti 4:13–16; 2 Ti 1:13–14; 2 Ti 2:2; Tt 2:1

                                    God’s Invitation

                                    Romans 10:17 ESV

                                    Believe - John 1:7
                                    John 1:7 ESV

                                    Hebrews 4:14 ESV
                                    Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

                                    Luke 13:3 ESV
                                    No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
                                    Be Baptized - Acts 2:38
                                    Acts 2:38 ESV

                                    Remain Faithful - Revelation 2:10​
                                    Revelation 2:10 ESV
                                    Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
