Biblical Literacy

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. ~ Psalm 119:11

For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. ~ Ezra 7:10

Even the Great Commission commands us to teach others all that God has commanded (Matthew 28:20). Implicit in that commandment is that we must know God personally and know His Word intimately and thoroughly. God encouraged the Israelites to impress His commandments on their children and to talk about His Word throughout the entire day (Deuteronomy 6:7-9). We are encouraged to correctly handle the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15), which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that we may be equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God’s Word is flawless (Proverbs 30:5) and valuable not only for “religious” issues such as salvation, but also as the primary basis upon which we make other life decisions including decisions about work, family, wealth, health, ministry, and our relationships with others.
