And the New Testament teaches us that He became Man (John 1:1-4) and died on the cross for our salvation.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Reading the Word is important. Study of the Word is better.
Rightly dividing is needed to understand God’s Word.
Just what does Rightly dividing mean?
Of course, we all know the Bible is divided into two parts, the Old and New.
Let’s look at a simply division of Scripture:
Genesis, God is dealing with Gentiles.
Exodus – Malachi, God is dealing with the Nation of Israel, Jews.
Matthew- Acts 1-12, God (the Lord Jesus Christ fulfills the Law and offers the Kingdom to the Jews.
Acts 13-28 – Hebrews, God uses the Apostle Paul top open the door of Salvation to ALL (including the gentiles) who will believe the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and confesses that the Lord Jesus is God (Romans 10:9-13).
James – Jude, will be speaking to the Jews during the Tribulation.
Revelation, warns for that which is to come during Tribulation, Millieum, The Great White Throne and on into Eternity.

There’s more to Rightly Dividing. Who is speaking? Who is being spoken to? And always put it into context. An example:
Genesis 12:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Now, just reading this verse, one would have to begin building an ARK.
But wait, God said it; To Noah (verse 13). And it happened 4000 years ago. Doesn’t apply any more. And there are many, many more examples.
But one more example:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Who is speaking? Of course, Peter. Who is being spoken to? 2:36 answers this: Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, JEWS of course.

As a believer we are instructed to be “a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

Remember when Paul wrote these words, the New Testament did not exist. The scripture he was referring to was the Old Testament, Genesis to Malachi. Contained in the Old Testament are all the promises of God. As it is said “Hidden in the Old, Revealed in the New”.
