Revelation #53: Who is our best teacher?
Question: Who is our best teacher?
A) God and His Word (the Bible)
B) The World (being “worldly” knowledgable)
C) Our Tests, Trials, and Tribulations
Answer: A & C
All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. ~2 Timothy 3:16-17 (AMP)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. ~Psalm 32:8 (AMP)
“Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a ruler or a teacher like Him? ~Job 36:22 (AMP)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will]. ~Hosea 4:6 (AMP)
None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. ~1 Corinthians 2:8-10 (AMP)
Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. ~James 1:2-3 (AMP)
Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me—to keep me from exalting myself! ~2 Corinthians 12:7 (AMP)
Fear nothing that you are about to suffer. Be aware that the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested [in your faith], and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful to the point of death [if you must die for your faith], and I will give you the crown [consisting] of life. ~Revelation 2:10 (AMP)
