Day 3:
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16)
You’ll often hear me say, “When you read a passage of Scripture, be sure to put on your gospel glasses!” And this simply means to look at the Bible through lenses formed by two questions.
The first is, “What does this passage tell me about the nature of God who provides redemption?” And the second is, “What does this passage tell me about the nature of humanity that requires redemption?”
It’s just this simple. “What does this text tell me about God?” And, “What does it tell me about me?” Both questions will ultimately point to the grace of God that covers all our sins and failure and enables us to serve him.
So, next time you’re reading your Bible, put on your gospel glasses!
Prayer: Lord, as I read your Word each day, enable me to discover who you are and who I am in Christ. Please open my eyes to your amazing grace!
