How do we know that the Scriptures are profitable for our lives?

The Apostle Paul affirms in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that 'all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.' This divine inspiration ensures that every part of the Bible serves a meaningful purpose in shaping the believer's life. As believers engage with Scripture, they find not only correction for their sinful ways but also the doctrine necessary to guide them into all truth, enabling them to be equipped for good works that glorify God.
