2 Timothy 2:15 says this:
15Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
Paul is instructing Timothy to be a student of the Word of God! He is also, at the same time, giving this instruction to US! We have a responsibility, as born again believers in Jesus of Nazareth, to KNOW the Word so that we can walk in it! Many people have set out to "study" the Word of God who have no hope whatever of actually knowing it! How can I say this? Look at 1 Corinthians 2:12-14:
12 Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. 13 And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. 14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.

Only those who have been born again by the Spirit of God, after receiving Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and personal Saviour, can actually KNOW the Word! The Word is supernatural, the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, and THAT is why we MUST set our hearts to KNOW the Word! What a priceless privilege that we have been given, that we CAN know HIM! Amen! Let's get to it! Here is Hillsong with "To You":
Shalom in Him!
