Luke 1:4
Luke 1:4
That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
In the gospel to Theophilus, Luke collects eyewitness accounts, facts, and evidence of many pivotal events in the early church when he was a co-worker of the apostle Paul. During his travels, he is likely to have encountered many key figures who played a key role in Jesus' earthly ministry. It is for this reason that Luke is confident that his work will prove useful. This is of significant benefit to modern readers as well. Throughout history, the enemy has employed a wide range of strategies to undermine the truth of God's Word. Numerous false writings, teachings, witnesses, and facts flooded into the fledgling church in these early years. Therefore, Luke states in his narrative to Theophilus that he has carefully researched everything concerning the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel of Luke contains good tidings of salvation for all, a message of great joy. It is critical that we remain alert and sober. Like a roaring lion, the enemy seeks to dismantle the gospel of Christ and undermine our faith. Nevertheless, we should hold fast to that which we have, knowing that the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He has forgiven us of our sins and granted us life everlasting for His glory and honor.
Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Joshua 1:8
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.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Proverbs 19:14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
