God’s means of communicating His message involves demonstration, a showing forth of what truth means and does in people’s lives. Bible teachers can be that demonstration, as suggested in the previous post. According to 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, however, it’s not a contrived demonstration but rather “a demonstration of the Spirit’s power” which makes it authentic and impacting.
Power for Bible Teachers to Authentically Demonstrate the Message Comes from God’s Might Flowing Through Them
As conduits, Bible teachers aren’t the power source but rather the channel through which God’s might flows. Only when the indwelling Holy Spirit works in and through teachers, will that demonstration of the message authentically communicate God’s truth and change lives.
