2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
Do not let perfect scare you, let it empower you. Perfect here connects with furnished; everything we need to function as believers is supplied to us by God. He has taken the “Can’t do” out of us and has put the “can do” in.
Scripture is not designed to plug things up it is designed to unplug things; it is designed to open us up and give us clarity to be. “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). Understanding how things work and why they work is largely the power to accomplish. So, let us say about ourselves what Paul has said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).
