2 Timothy 2:1-2; 4:1-5

Today we will post a simple Bible Study entitled “THE WORD OF GOD – THE BIBLE.”  This is a study I have used with brand new believers, the first of several foundational studies.  It covers some things we have considered over the last month.  Depending on the person I was with and their needs and the time we had I was always blessed to take our time going from verse to verse, question to question.  The value I found was that we were opening up and talking about valuable passages as well as giving them a foundation in the Bible.  I will give it to you with blank lines so you can cut and paste it if you wish (if you find it helpful).  The answers are at the bottom.
