1 Timothy 4:6

1 Timothy 4:6 If you lay these things before the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, being nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which you have closely followed.

Nourishment is related to life. All the words in the Bible are words oflife, words that are nourishing and healthy. It is important that we all receive nourishment from the word of God.

if we would be nourished by the word, we must be free from all preoccupying concepts. We need to lay aside the veils of culture, domestic logic, and national philosophy. We need to read the word of God without wearing any colored glasses, that is without any preoccupying concepts. Then we shall receive both nourishment and revelation.
