Lesson 20: The Bible Must be Proclaimed

The church is commanded to proclaim the truth of God’s Word

Read: 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Timothy 4:13

Christians must read and study the Bible, but they must also be sure to proclaim its truths to unbelievers. The gospel of Jesus Christ is part of God’s Word, and it must be meditated on and rejoiced in by Christians, as well as lovingly preached to the lost.
