Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
I believe that much of what is meant by “rightly dividing the Word of truth”[1] is to divide it sparingly and with great caution. There are, without question, divisions between the Old and the New Testaments and between the dispensations naturally visible in the Bible (Adam’s relationship with God was obviously altered by his sin). But some cut the Bible so apart by their “scholarship” as to make it nearly inapplicable to the common man.
It is in the face of this misuse I find such blessing in passages such as this. What was written for Abraham was not for Abraham’s sake alone. Indeed, it was written, “for us also, to whom it shall be imputed,”
I take every word of God as written for us also, “if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.”
It is all for me!
- Salvation by grace through faith,
- Eternal life with Christ,
- All things that pertain to life and godliness
Cover to cover, line upon line,
“it was not written for his sake alone,….But for us also ….”
[1] 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
