Cut it Straight

This book is a guide on how to study the Bible using Biblical principles. We need to know the scriptures accurately to know who God is and how He want us to live. God's word tells us to apply ourselves to know what He told us, to run after that knowledge to handle it correctly in order to serve and work acceptably for Him. This necessitates that we wholeheartedly and continuously seek the answers and guidelines of truth as found in the Scriptures. If we do not, if we are lazy or put this as a low priority, we will be ashamed when we see our Lord face to face. His word is life's source. Here we will look at what it means to rightly divide or accurately understand the Bible's truth to know God and make Him known, to put it above mere tradition and man's philosophy, to learn and teach with sound understanding and equally valid application of what we are to live by. Our adversary led us astray with "has God indeed (really) said," in order to lessen the authority of God's word and good will for us. We must not yield to this deception from our own thinking or from others, but cut His word straight to know and follow the truth that has set us free.
