(2Ti 3:14) “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;” The Lord gives us godly men who impart to us their life’s experiences of walking with God; that is, the application of Scripture. The purpose is to assure our hearts as to the reality of that which we read and study. The wise person learns from not only the successes, but also the failures of others. These humbly share with us – both.
