It is a concept that underscores the importance of truth, justice, and righteousness in the life of a believer.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage and Context</b><br><br>1. <b>Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth</b>: One of the most notable uses of the term "rightly" is found in <a href="/2_timothy/2-15.htm">2 Timothy 2:15</a>, where the Apostle Paul instructs Timothy, "Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth" . The phrase "accurately handles" is often translated as "rightly dividing" in other versions, emphasizing the need for careful and correct interpretation of Scripture. This involves understanding the context, discerning the intended message, and applying it appropriately to one's life.<br><br>2. <b>Judging Rightly</b>: In <a href="/john/7-24.htm">John 7:24</a>, Jesus admonishes, "Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly" . Here, "justly" can be understood as "rightly," highlighting the necessity of making judgments based on truth and righteousness rather than superficial or biased criteria. This aligns with the biblical call for believers to exercise discernment and wisdom in their judgments.<br><br>3. <b>Rightly Understanding God's Nature</b>: Throughout Scripture, there is an emphasis on knowing God rightly. This involves recognizing His attributes, such as His holiness, justice, love, and mercy. In <a href="/jeremiah/9-24.htm">Jeremiah 9:24</a>, the Lord declares, "But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving devotion, justice, and righteousness on the earth—for I delight in these things," declares the LORD" . Understanding God rightly leads to a deeper relationship with Him and a life that reflects His character.<br><br>4. <b>Living Rightly</b>: The Bible calls believers to live in a manner that is consistent with God's standards. In <a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15-16</a>, Paul exhorts, "Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" . Living rightly involves making choices that honor God, reflect His wisdom, and make the most of the opportunities He provides.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of "rightly" is deeply rooted in the pursuit of truth and righteousness. It is a call to align one's life with God's will and to seek His guidance in all matters. This pursuit is not merely intellectual but is also practical, affecting how believers live, make decisions, and interact with others. The ability to rightly divide the Word of Truth and to judge justly is seen as a mark of spiritual maturity and faithfulness.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers, the call to "rightly" handle the Word and live according to God's standards is both a privilege and a responsibility. It requires diligent study of Scripture, prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a commitment to living out one's faith in everyday life. By doing so, believers can ensure that their lives are a testimony to the truth and power of the Gospel, bringing glory to God and edification to the body of Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
