Ensinar: como transmitir a Palavra e a fé no dia a dia
O que a Bíblia ensina sobre ensinar
Ensinar, nas Escrituras, é a transmissão contínua da verdade de Deus vivida na prática e comunicada na rotina diária. Longe de ser apenas uma função de quem fala em público, o ensino bíblico molda o caráter, orienta as escolhas morais e firma a vida sobre as palavras de Jesus Cristo.
A Bíblia se apresenta como a base sólida para essa instrução, servindo para formar, corrigir e capacitar cada pessoa para toda boa obra.
All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right. This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that’s good.(2 Timothy 3:16,17)
Everyone that hears the words I say, and follows them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.(Matthew 7:24)
Let Christ’s message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity.(Colossians 3:16)
These Scriptures were written down in the past to help us understand, and to encourage us so that we could wait patiently in hope.(Romans 15:4)
The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight. They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly. They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young. Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance, understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.(Proverbs 1:1-7)
A transmissão da fé às próximas gerações
A instrução bíblica da família acontece no dia a dia: ao caminhar, ao deitar e ao sentar-se à mesa. A história de Israel mostra que a negligência em contar as obras de Deus abre caminho para que a geração seguinte se afaste da fé por falta de conhecimento.
O livro de Provérbios reforça que ouvir o conselho dos pais e guardar a instrução divina protege o coração de ciladas e preserva a vida.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being and with all your strength. The commands I’m giving you today must stay in your minds. You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you’re at home and when you’re traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.(Deuteronomy 6:5-7)
Listen to what I have to teach you, my people; hear what I have to say.
I will tell you wise sayings; I will explain mysteries from the past
that we have heard before and reflected on; stories our forefathers passed down to us.
We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God’s marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.(Psalms 78:1-4)
Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.(Judges 2:10)
My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching. They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.(Proverbs 1:8,9)
Get wisdom, find out what makes sense. Don’t forget my words or reject them.
Don’t give up on wisdom for she will keep you safe. Love wisdom and she will protect you. The first thing in becoming wise is to get wisdom! Whatever else you gain, gain insight. Treasure wisdom, and she will praise you; embrace her, and she will honor you.(Proverbs 4:5-8)
Hold on to these instructions—don’t let them go. Protect them, for they are life’s foundation.
Don’t go the way of the wicked or follow the example of those who do evil.(Proverbs 4:13,14)
Most of all, protect your mind, for everything in life flows from it. Don’t ever lie, and don’t say anything dishonest. Focus on what’s ahead of you; look at what’s in front of you. Pay attention to the path you decide to follow, and you’ll be safe wherever you go. Don’t deviate to the right or the left, and turn away from evil.(Proverbs 4:23-27)
My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching. Keep them always in mind. Tie them around your neck. They will lead you as you walk along; they will watch over you as you sleep; when you wake up they will talk with you. For the instruction is a lamp, and the teaching is a light. The correction that comes from discipline is the way to life.(Proverbs 6:20-23)
Honoring the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; knowledge of the Holy One brings insight.(Proverbs 9:10)
The teaching of the wise is like a fountain of life, so you can avoid the snares of death.(Proverbs 13:14)
Fidelidade doutrinária e responsabilidade de quem instrui
A função de liderar e ensinar a igreja exige rigor e compromisso com a verdade revelada. O mestre fiel não busca reconhecimento próprio nem se envolve em especulações vazias que corroem a comunhão; seu compromisso é permanecer estritamente no ensino deixado por Cristo.
Por causa desse peso moral e espiritual, as Escrituras orientam a comunidade a honrar aqueles que se dedicam com integridade à pregação e à sã doutrina.
When the festival was halfway through, Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach. The Jewish leaders were very surprised, and asked, "How does this man have so much learning when he hasn’t been educated?"
Jesus answered, "My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I’m only speaking for myself. Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.(John 7:14-18)
Elders who direct the church well should be seen as doubly valuable, particularly those who work in speaking the Word and in teaching. As Scripture says, "Don’t muzzle the ox when it’s threshing out the grain." Also, "The worker deserves to be paid."(1 Timothy 5:17,18)
Avoid pointless chatter because people who do this are heading away from God. Their teachings are as destructive as gangrene that destroys healthy flesh. Hymenaeus and Philetus are like this.(2 Timothy 2:16,17)
All those who become extremists and don’t continue to follow the teaching of Christ don’t have God with them. Those who continue to follow the teaching of Christ have both the Father and the Son with them.(2 John 1:9)
