2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In the business world, due diligence is the process of gathering and evaluating information before making a decision. It is making a thorough, careful check or investigation in order to know all the facts. Then, a course of action is developed based on this gained knowledge.
Paul exhorts Timothy to be diligent or study God's Word, the truth, not half-heartedly but rather with determined thorough care.
Without question, what we believe (or don't believe) determines how we live. It is so very important that we understand and know, through our own study, the truth according to the Bible. For by this gained knowledge, we develop the course of action for the rest of our lives. We make the decisions by which we live.
Knowing and understanding (rightly dividing) the truth and living accordingly will result in a life that is acceptable and pleasing to God. A life of which we need not ever be ashamed.
Make time for His Word. Be constant, persistent and perservering in your study of it. Be diligent.
