As Paul continues to explain the process by which God transforms our life, he continues to build the case on the basis of the useful words of God. The word of God is profitable for teaching. Teaching leads to rebuke or reproof, as we learn the truths of God, they inform us of all the areas we fall short, the words of God show us our sin. At that point, we have a choice to make - obey and turn or continue in our sin. This turn is described by Paul to correction, to correct our way and follow his way, his words, his truth. The process concludes with ongoing training in righteousness. This process leads to believers that are complete and equipped for every good work. The words of God have the power to transform and equip you for every good work. 

The church was not designed or created by humanity; it was designed and instituted by God to fulfill his plan for his followers on earth. It is paramount that we understand the nature of the church, the priorities that should characterize the church and the character of the individuals that compose the church. We must ask and understand the answer to the question: what is the church? Therefore, the church is a committed fellowship of believers in Jesus, who passionately live their lives together, striving to live and advance the magnificent truths of their Savior, who’s example perfectly establishes, directs & prioritizes their daily lives.
