What does the Bible say about being diligent in studying Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

2 Timothy 2:15 teaches the importance of being diligent to present oneself approved to God through accurate handling of the Word of Truth.

In 2 Timothy 2:15, the Apostle Paul instructs Timothy to 'be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of Truth.' This verse underscores the necessity of a deep commitment to studying Scripture diligently. Diligence here means to carefully and earnestly engage with God's Word, indicating that expository preaching depends on a thorough understanding of the Bible. Timothy is urged to take personal responsibility for his study and to pursue knowledge passionately, indicating that every believer is similarly called to this task, supported by the Holy Spirit.
