Paul is telling us all here to Read and Study God's word that we might be Approved by God. A Christian who doesn't spend adequate time in God's word is a disobedient Christian. This world is filled with sin and ungodly elements, and only through God's word can we find true spiritual refreshment to keep us clean and set apart for God's service.
David also said, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." (Psa 119:11) God's word will keep a Christian clean from every debris! Speaking of the church, in Ephesians 5:26, Apostle Paul said, "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." Also, Psalm 119:9 says, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." Jesus in (John 15:3) said, "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." It's all through the Bible, friend, a Believer cannot stay clean without God's word! John Bunyan once said, "This Book will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this Book."
Joshua 1:8-9 says "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
That's God's promise. A daily bible study habit of spending time in God's word will guarantee a prosperous and successful life. Every Christian should love God's word and meditate on it often.
