As believers, we are commanded to take the gospel of Jesus Christ (1Corinthians 15:3-4) to the whole world. What is the purpose of the rest of Scripture?
2 Timothy 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Notice Scripture is given for the man of God to make the man of God perfect, complete, not lacking anything in order that the man of God will be completely furnished unto all good works.
Once we take the gospel out to the world and people get saved, we are to guide them through Scripture to teach them to live for the Lord; to provide reproof; to provide correction; to provide instruction from Scripture. This provision in Scripture can be through a local church or personal discipleship.
Before one is saved, it's all about the gospel of Christ. Once one is saved, it's all about Scripture.
