Having established that God’s written revelation to mankind is precious and profitable,

we move into the realm of application. As we mentioned in Lesson 1, the master plan behind the

Bible is rescue. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s book is all about God’s plan to rescue men and

women from the ultimate problem of sin. Our responsibility begins with discernment.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the

Lord is.

- Ephesians 5.15-17
