What God\u2019s Word Says about Teaching<\/h2>\n

\"Bible<\/p>\n

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1)<\/em><\/p>\n

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)<\/em><\/p>\n

An Awesome Responsibility<\/h2>\n

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines awesome as:<\/p>\n

“causing feelings of fear and wonder : causing feelings of awe”<\/p>\n

This post uses the word “awesome” purposefully because teaching God’s Word should instill both of these feelings within us.<\/p>\n

1) Bible teaching is a wonderful, terrific, extraordinary opportunity.<\/p>\n

We should have a sense of wonder that the Almighty God has given us the privilege of working in cooperation with Him to change lives<\/a> through the teaching of His Word.<\/p>\n

2) Bible teaching is a serious responsibility for which we will be held accountable.<\/p>\n

We should have a sense of reverential fear of the Almighty God and His Truth that causes us to want to properly handle it<\/a>, putting our best efforts into preparing and presenting the lesson.<\/p>\n
