After the last post about perilous men, let's look at the second half of the chapter.
We as Christians should do our best to follow the advice Paul has been outlining as God's will. (I am all for studying scripture and making sure it all works together, not picking and choosing.) Live a good and quiet life. God should be your purpose in life. Have faith in Him. You will need to be longsuffering and full of love in order to be able to perseverance through the hurtful things others do to you and other troubles that will come along. We are in a war, it can't be helped. God will deliver us. If we trust in Him and study His Word, He will take us one day to Heaven with Him.
The scriptures can do so much for us. God talks to us through them. It helps us understand what we believe and why. If we need to mend our ways or talk to others about theirs, it says how and on what. Anything you need to know to live a good life, the advice is in the scriptures. It is what we need to be able to face the life we are in.
This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.
