What makes teaching the Bible distinctively Christian?
1 Corinthians 10:31Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever
you do, do all to the glory of God.
Matthew 28:18-20And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching
them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.
Acts 1:8but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the
earth.
2 Corinthians 5:14For the love of Christ controls us, having
concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died
Ephesians 4:29Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth,
but only such a word as is good for edification according to the
need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who
hear.
To bring about a change in the life of the learner
Deuteronomy 4:10Remember the day you stood before the LORD your
God at Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to Me,
that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all
the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their
children.

What changes does the Christian teacher seek to implement?
2 Timothy 3:16-17All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped
for every good work.
Job 36:22Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher
like Him?
Isaiah 48:17Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of
Israel, I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, Who
leads you in the way you should go.
2 Timothy 2:2And the things which you have heard from me in the
presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will
be able to teach others also.
Hebrews 5:11-12Concerning him we have much to say, and it is
hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For
though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again
for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles
of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
Hebrews 5:13-14For everyone who partakes only of milk is not
accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have
their senses trained to discern good and evil.
