Q 38: How are parents and pastors to teach the Law of God?

A 38: Parents and pastors teach the Law of God by living according to its precepts, instructing the people of God faithfully and solemnly, and exercising discipline to encourage obedience to the Law and all the Word of God. (Deut. 6:4-9; Ps. 78:1-8; 1 Cor. 5)

Q 39: How do believers teach the Law of God to one another?

A 39: Believers teach the Law of God, and all God’s Word, to one another as they hide the Word in their own hearts and teach and admonish one another, stimulating one another by word and deed to love and good works. (Col. 3:16; Heb. 10:24)
