It gives to every person who believes, a certain hope for the future. The hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel. Colossians 1:5. [3.] How much of the Bible may we profitably study? All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, focorrection, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth. 2 Peter 1:12. NOTE.-The message of Noah was urgent present truth to the generation before the Flood. The books of Daniel and the Revelation, together with other prophecies of the latter days and the last time, are equally urgent and important to Christians today. (See Daniel 12:4; Revelation 1: 1-3.) [5.] How did the apostle Paul reprove certain believers for their lack of progress in study? When for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. hebrews 5:12. NOTE-How many are there today in the same condition, old in association with the faith and yet babes in understanding! Such is not the Fathers plan for His children.
