Learning the Right Way

Many people pay a lot of money and make huge sacrifices to attend the best schools so that they can acquire the best education possible. But in fact, there is no better teacher than God. “Behold, God is exalted in His power; who is a teacher like Him?” (Job 36:22)

After all, our Lord fully understands the scope and solution to mankind’s problems. He is the source of all wisdom. He not only has knowledge of the physical world but also the spiritual world. He understands how everything is interconnected because He made and maintains them. In the end God reveals all truth.

Jesus sets the model for us on how to learn. This is what made Him the greatest teacher. “And they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribe” (Mark 1:22). A great teacher must first be a great learner. A great learner must be willing to allow the truth of God to shape His life.
God desires that we learn His truth. This is the reason He has revealed His principles both in nature as well as in His Word. To the degree that we apply His teaching to our lives, we will be aided by His wisdom and guarded from evil and its consequences. As we are shaped by His Word, we become more like Jesus who allowed the truth of God to shape His life and passed on the Word of Life to others both by word and example.
