*DAILY DEW 15/MAY/2022* *Rightly Diving The Word of Truth* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.* (2 Tim 2:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Context in bible study means a word can mean different things in different books, chapters, and verses of the bible. This means you can't claim to understand the meaning of a word in Genesis based on how it was used in 1 John. E.g. righteousness doesn't always refer to the gift we have by faith, it can also refer to righteous acts. Hence, the verse 'the righteous are as bold as a lion' (Proverbs 28:1) is not a faith confession based on justification by faith. Many of us have used it that way but the context deals with oppression, justice, and upright living. So, the boldness is against the law of the land which makes the wicked flee even when nobody is pursuing him. If you miss the message here, and you lead a questionable lifestyle, you'll discover that you won't be bold as a lion when you're arrested for your evil ways. Does that mean righteousness by faith doesn't make us bold? Of course it does! But in a different context entirely, not this one. _MEDITATION:_ *"Whenever we miss context, a major lesson is missed. You may have to find out the original context of every popular verse you grew up hearing. You might be shocked what you'll find.!"* *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin * *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
