【SCRIPTURE 经文】：使徒保罗教导他的年轻徒弟提摩太，也含蓄地教导我们作为信徒要理解圣经，并遵循圣经中神的话语和教诲。他说：” 但你所学习的，所确信的，要存在心里；因为你知道是跟谁学的，并且知道你是从小明白圣经，这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣，有得救的智慧。圣经都是神所默示的，於教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，叫属神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。The Apostle Paul taught his young disciple Timothy, as well implicitly teaching us as believers to understand the Bible and follow the Word and teachings of God found in the Bible. He said: “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (提摩太后书 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
【SHARING 分享】: 今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY，分享的经文是提摩太后书 2 Timothy 3:14-17。特别是最后两节经文鼓励我们：“明白圣经就是遵守神的话语”，并呼召我们成为祂的好仆人，装备我们做各种善工和好管家。圣经的基本内容已经向我们启示，我们知道它是 66 本圣书的汇编，分为两个主要部分：旧约 39 卷书和新约 27 卷书。
旧约包括古希伯来圣经。它主要关注神与他选民以色列之间的历史、律法和契约，并预言未来的弥赛亚。新约是用希腊文写成的，它也可以用希伯来文写成，然后翻译成阿拉姆语、希腊语和当时任何其他语言，它关注的是我们未来的弥赛亚的生活，他作为我们的救世主耶稣基督而诞生，他的福音教义是神最后的救赎计划，通过耶稣的死，将人类从邪恶和罪恶中拯救出来，否则人类可能在神面前面临永恒死亡的惩罚，但当任何人相信耶稣是最后的祭祀羔羊时，他都会与耶稣基督一起复活。耶稣在十字架上流血，复活以击败死刑，并相信他的救赎，将得到神为他保留的天堂永生的奖赏。
因此，一位圣经学者或牧师曾经说过，理解圣经的关键是接受整本圣经的启示。整本圣书，包括旧约和新约，都是神所启发的话语。当你学习时，请记住他启发了你正在阅读的文字；神通过他们直接对你说话，正如彼得后书 2 Peter 1:21 所述，“因为预言（圣经）从来没有出于人意的，而是人被圣灵感动说出神的话来。”
福音写作家白德夫 Dave Branon 来自灵命日粮 Our Daily Bread Ministries，他写过类似的分享，并确认了 “理解圣经” 的主题。他引用希伯来书 Hebrews 4:12 来描述神之言的力量，他说： “因为神的话语是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快，甚至魂与灵、骨节与骨髓，都能刺入、剖开，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。” 白德夫继续强调拥有一本母语圣经的重要性。它是如此重要，以至于许多国家的人们愿意冒着生命危险将圣经翻译成他们的母语。这些翻译者通常是普通的基督徒，他们冒着被捕的风险将圣经翻译成他们的同胞能理解的语言。许多基督教学者试图召集一些地方信徒秘密翻译圣经， 因为他们认为圣经是地方教会培养成熟信徒的必需品。建立教会并不难，但如果没有母语圣经，信仰通常就不可能传给下一代。因此，没有一本书能像圣经一样保存数千年，也能真实准确地揭示一个人的内心状态。
正如我们上面所讨论的，圣经是 “活泼的，是有功效的，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明”，“圣经都是神所默示的”。更重要的是，圣经揭示了 “因信耶稣基督而得救”的起源和事实。当我们得到这些资源时，让我们帮助世界各地的人获得福音的信息，让人们 “明白圣经就是遵守神的话语”。
今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY, the verses to be shared is 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Especially the last two verses encourage us: "Knowing the Scripture Means Obeying God's Word" and call us to be His good servants and equip us to do all kinds of good works and good stewards. The basic content of the Bible has been revealed to us, and we know that it is a compilation of 66 holy books divided into two main parts: 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.
The Old Testament includes the ancient Hebrew Bible. It focuses mainly on the history, laws and covenants between God and his chosen people Israel, and prophesies about the future Messiah. The New Testament was written in Greek, it could have been written in Hebrew and then translated into Aramaic, Greek and any other language of the time, it focuses on the life of our future Messiah, who was born as our Savior Jesus Christ, and his gospel teachings as God's final plan of salvation, through the death of Jesus, to save mankind from evil and sin, otherwise mankind may face the punishment of eternal death before God, but when anyone believes in Jesus as the final sacrificial lamb, he will be resurrected with Jesus Christ. Jesus shed his blood on the cross, resurrected to defeat the death penalty, and having faith in his salvation, will receive the reward of eternal life in heaven reserved for him by God.
Therefore, a Bible scholar or pastor once said that the key to understanding the Bible is to accept the inspiration of the entire Bible. The entire Holy Book, including the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired word of God. As you study, remember that He inspired the words you are reading; God is speaking directly to you through them, as stated in 2 Peter 1:21, “For no prophecy (Scripture) ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
Gospel writer Dave Branon from Our Daily Bread Ministries has written similar sharing and confirms the theme of “Understanding the Bible.” He cites Hebrews 4:12 to describe the power of God’s Word, saying, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
Dave Branon goes on to stress the importance of having a Bible in your mother tongue. It is so important that people in many countries are willing to risk their lives to have the Bible translated into their mother tongue. These translators are often ordinary Christians who risk arrest for translating the Bible into a language their fellow countrymen can understand.” Many Christian scholars have tried to gather some local believers to secretly translate the Bible because they believe that the Bible is essential for the local church to cultivate mature believers. It is not difficult to establish a church, but without the Bible in the mother tongue, faith is usually impossible to pass on to the next generation. Therefore, no book can be preserved for thousands of years like the Bible, and can also truly and accurately reveal a person’s inner state.
As we have discussed above, the Bible is "living and active, able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart" and "all Scripture is inspired by God." More importantly, the Bible reveals the origin and facts of "salvation through faith in Jesus Christ." When we are given these resources, let us help people around the world have the message of the gospel and let people "Knowing the Scripture Means Obeying God's Word."
