The Word of God Gives Us Insight Into Our Hearts
To study “the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC) is to study the Holy Bible which “gives strength to the mind, conversation, (and the) grace” or “the free unmerited love and favor” (Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary) of Jesus Christ having had our handling of our study “tested by trial” (2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC). This daily study causes the approval, approbation, or gives God pleasure as we are workmen or skilled laborers examining the Word of God correctly “rightly handling and skillfully teaching” (2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC) the Word of God.
Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
