TALK ABOUT THE
SCRIPTURE

To be best prepared for an emergency or disaster situation, the American Red Cross suggests every family constructs a survival kit. The list of items for a survival kit includes a two-week supply of food and water, first aid kit, flashlight, batteries, and emergency blankets. These and other suggested items for the kit can help your family make it through emergency situations.

​

In his letter, Paul reminded his friend Timothy that the Bible is like a survival kit that contains everything we need to live for Jesus! Paul encouraged Timothy to remember everything he had learned from the Scriptures. Even when people persecuted Timothy, the Bible would give him strength to honor God and tell others about Jesus.

​

The Bible contains everything we need to know Him. Best of all, it tells us how much He loves us and how He sent His Son to save us from our sin! Paul’s letter to Timothy reminds us that the Bible has everything we need to believe in Jesus, to obey Him, and to share Him with others.

​

Paul wrote to teach Timothy how to live for God. The Bible tells us about God’s plan for people to have forgiveness through His Son, Jesus. Jesus obeyed God’s Word perfectly. We can follow Jesus’ example to read, believe, and obey the Bible as we live for God’s glory.

​

Pray: God, thank You for the Bible which are Your words to us. Through Scripture, we can know who You are and how much You love us. Help us to believe what Your Word says about Jesus and help us trust in Him as Lord.
