Teaching Gift

Teacher

The gift of Teaching is a highly honored spiritual gift within the assembly of Christ Followers, but it is also a gift with severe responsibilities before God. The Bible warns us that those who teach among the people will be judged more harshly by God (James 3:1). A spiritually healthy teacher will not simply instruct the minds of his/her students, but will first instruct and apply unto him/herself the lessons taught by God through Scripture, and then only after the teacher can model the biblical lesson within his/her life, will he/she be authentically able teach the lesson to others.

1 Corinthians 12:28 lists the gift of Teaching, when applied within the church, as an essential office within the ministry…subservient only to the greater offices of Prophets and Apostles. Ephesians 4:11-14 makes it clear that the teacher’s job description includes “Equipping the people for the works of service”. Paul specifically lists Teaching as one of the spiritual gifts in Romans 12:7.
