A teacher's responsibility should be considered. James says, "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 NIV). Be that as it may, a teacher's duty is to assist their students in connecting an event's historical context and their own modern lives. 1 Teachers draw on their extensive knowledge and expertise to aid their students in maturing in their faith. They lead us to a deeper understanding of a subject. God takes care of the rest after they provide pupils with the necessary information and resources. Assigning a Biblical instructor entails the application of two fundamental theological principles: What divine intent does one have for the students, and how should one foster the growth of students into mature disciples of Christ? All of these questions—how, who, what, when, and why—will be answered by religious ideas. In addition to effectively delivering content, teachers are responsible for acting as consultants to students and conducting the classroom. A teacher's job has many moving parts, including the students, administration, process, final result, and instructors. As students become adults, teachers must help them form responsible habits and make practical judgments. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6 NIV). Because students bring a wide range of experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, and learning styles to the classroom—including varying life stages, social and cultural backgrounds, family dynamics, and learning styles—the instructor plays a pivotal role in determining whether or not students fully grasp the material covered. The effectiveness of a teacher's instruction is directly correlated to how well they understand their students' backgrounds. Someone who is 1 Lawrence O. Richards and Gary J.

supernaturally called, anointed, and chosen by God to teach and preach the Bible also takes the time to interact with their pupils, helping them make connections between the world of the Bible and their own. The role of the educator is to convey biblical values to kids in this technologically advanced day. Lawrence O. Richards claims, "Most Bible teachers' main focus is to convey what the Bible says precisely.” 2 The emphasis remains on the Bible as information, even though it may provide a word of encouragement or a few examples. 3 Though this should be the primary focus of every educator, it falls short. The imaginative Bible teacher, whether in a classroom setting, a pulpit, or a Christian school, does not disregard the Bible as a source of knowledge. However, he surpasses mere facts. The goal of imaginative Bible instructors is to assist their students in making connections between the student's reality and the Bible's universe. Getting a pupil to understand and respond to the cultural and historical context of the Bible is no simple feat. However, closing the gap is essential, and it is not impossible. 4 So that their trust would not rely alone on human understanding but on the divine direction of God's capacity to discern the truth, the imaginative Bible teacher imparts words of wisdom through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, apply the significance and consequences to contemporary life. Moreover, when we examine John 13:34-35, Jesus tells those assembled to hear Him speak, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35 NIV). As His disciples today, we are commanded to conform to His image to love as He loves. So, how can we imitate His character? You can only become closer to God via regular prayer and study of His Word. He also desires people to know Him, and we will realize this as our relationship grows stronger. We discover that we are meant to educate right now. To 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 4 Ibid.
preach the Gospel to all people and then to train those people to preach it to all people. The pattern is crystal evident once we are prepared. A divine being made by Adam and Eve. As they strolled in the chill of night, He yearned to establish a connection with them (Genesis 3:8). But you must recognize that the plan of salvation was already in motion before the fall (Ephesians 1:4). A person's "journey of spiritual growth" 5 starts when they accept "salvation," it continues with the need for instructors to aid, enlighten, and lead them as they progress toward spiritual maturity. 6 The term for this course of action is "discipleship." 7 For me, loving my neighbors— even if they do not call themselves Christians—is a key component of becoming a disciple. As Jesus said, people will recognize me by my actions, which I pray are always motivated by love. The Christian community nowadays has a terrible reputation for being full of thugs, impulsives, and even philanderers. The viewpoint of the faithful is to blame, in my opinion. 8 Proponents of the immanence perspective maintain that knowing God does not include knowing God as a person or even objective facts about God. 9 These individuals are more concerned with looking out for themselves than putting God first. Our civilization's increasing self-centric nature makes this sad but predictable. Despite how novel this perspective may seem, it was prevalent among the religious authorities of Jesus' day. From what I can see, it is a priority for Christians to read and study the Bible to reestablish a relationship with God and spread the good news of Jesus Christ to everyone around them. Paul said, “For this reason, since we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for 5 Allen Jackson, The Contribution of Teaching to Discipleship, in Teaching the Next Generations: A Comprehensive Guide for Teaching Christian Formation, ed.
