76 He teaches all His children!
"They shall be all taught of God!"John 6:45
God, as a Father, engages for the education of all His children. Yes, he engages to teach them Himself! This being the case—they shall become scholars.
The Lord does not teach us everything we are capable of learning—but all that is necessary for us to know.
He teaches us . . .
to know and loathe ourselves,
to know and love the Savior,
to know and embrace the Gospel,
to know and overcome the world,
to know and resist Satan steadfast in the faith.
Unless we know ourselves—we shall never know Christ!
Unless we know Christ—we shall never successfully resist Satan, or overcome the world!
It is an unspeakable mercy to be taught of God, for only what God teaches us—do we really know.
Beloved, are you taught of God?
Be this our daily prayer, "Lord teach me!"
