2 Timothy 3:16-17–"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."
God's Word, His written testimony about HImself for mankind, is a purposed work. In other words, Scripture is not whimsical or haphazard but it is highly and directly intentional. Every bit of Holy Writ, from Genesis to Revelation, was written at specific times and for a particular purpose. In the very least, the purpose of Scripture is about conveying certain historical information. However, this is just the basic. Every bit of Scripture also serves to impart specific theological information as well. It is this theological information that Paul is referring to in 2 Timothy. This is why it is so vital that we would commit to reading Scripture and making it a foundational part of our lives.
