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”.

Word of truth

The Lord Jesus said:
Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth… Luke 9:27 But I tell you of a truth…,

John 14:6 …I am the way, the truth, and the life…
Grace and Truth comes by Him: John 1:14,17 He doeth Truth John 3:21

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. Apostle Paul challenges Timothy to Study not just read.
The Apostle reminded his converts (and us):
Study to shew
1 Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
And of the Jews in Berea it was reported.
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Approved unto God.
The apostle Peter reminded his fellow Jews, the Lord Jesus was approved of God.
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
The Apostle Paul states that this should be the goal of every believer.
Romans 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

2 Corinthians 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
2 Corinthians 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
2 Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

How does one know the Bible is the word of God?

The simple answer is the JEW, the nation of Israel!
What other Nation of People has lasted as long as the Jew?
From the call of Abram (who became Abraham) until today, the Jew has survived. They are God’s chosen People.

Exodus 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

Currently God has set the Nation of Israel aside to open the door of Salvation to individual Gentiles (and individual Jews) who will believe in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and confess that Jesus is God (Romans 10:9-13).

But soon that door will be shut and He again will be dealing with the Nation of Israel (the Jew). This will begin after the Rapture of the Church and begins 7 years of Tribulation.

By studying the History of the Jew, from the call of Abram (who became Abraham) until today, one can see the protective hand of God at work. Then compare the History of the Jew (outside of the Bible) with the Bible history of the Jew and one has to concede that the Bible is the word of God.

To see what the Bible says about Abraham,

Matthew 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

The Gospel of the Kingdom – The central message of the gospel of the kingdom was that God was about to establish His kingdom earth. In this kingdom, the Messiah would reign as David’s greater Son. And if the Nation of Israel would have accepted it, It would NOT have been delayed.
