King James Version
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.
Being born again is revolutionary.
For our LORD is revolutionary.
JESUS went against the grain of the world.
He was not afraid to declare:
Luke 16:15
King James Version
15 And he said unto them,
Ye are they which justify yourselves before men;
but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God.
Unless you're a true born again, you cannot be an effective teacher.
Unless you're a true born again, you will cause GREAT danger upon ALL your students.
JESUS explains:
John 8:24
King James Version
24 I said therefore unto you,
that ye shall die in your sins:
for if ye believe not that I am he,
ye shall die in your sins.
Unless we believe in JESUS, we cannot teach right.
We won't be righteous.
We will lead others astray.
As it is, there are too many people who don't care for GOD.
They don't care to know GOD.
They don't care to know His laws.
They believe in self, or others.
They worship many gods.
They don't believe in JESUS, the SON of GOD.
Who came down from heaven, to save us from our sins.
1 Peter 3:18
King James Version
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh,
but quickened by the Spirit:
"But I'm not a Christian!" you protest.
Well, it's time you became one.
Become born again now.
That you may be taught by the TEACHER of ALL teachers.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
nd bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
Unless you're born again, being taught by the SPIRIT of GOD, you will be teaching the ways of the world.
Colossians 2:8
King James Version
8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ.
You will create more of the same.
That will endanger the soul of others.
Born agains take great responsibility for what we teach.
It must only come from SPIRIT.
And what does SPIRIT teach?
John 15:26
King James Version
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
SPIRIT teaches us about JESUS.
Why is it important to know about JESUS?
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
John 1:1-3
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Luke 21:33
King James Version
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away:
but my words shall not pass away.
John 1:14
King James Version
14 And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
John 1:17
King James Version
17 For the law was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12
King James Version
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
Colossians 1:16-20
King James Version
16 For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven,
and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him,
and for him:
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself;
by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth,
or things in heaven.
In JESUS is truth.
If we don't believe in JESUS, if we don't follow Him, if we don't obey His commandments, we teach lies.
Man cannot be the authority on truth.
Romans 3:10
King James Version
10 As it is written,
There is none righteous,
no, not one:
Romans 3:12
King James Version
12 They are all gone out of the way,
they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
Romans 3:23
King James Version
23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
Thus, man cannot be the perfect teacher.
Unless we are born again, taught by SPIRIT, we will continue to propagate lies.
Only the Bible speaks truth.
But how many believe the Bible?
The world is in GREAT danger of receiving the wrath of GOD, for they believe not on His SON.
1 John 3:23
King James Version
23 And this is his commandment,
That we should believe
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another,
as he gave us commandment.
Whether you're a teacher of kids, teenagers, or adults, the principle remains the same.
You can only teach best, if you are being instructed by the HOLY SPIRIT, as born again.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
1 Corinthians 2:14
King James Version
14 But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
