A Backdrop for Sanctification

A Kingdom Catechism

All believers must take up the work of teaching.

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)

What is true for pastors, teachers, and parents is true for all believers. We must live the Law and Word of God if we would teach it to one another. At the same time, believers should make the most of every opportunity to encourage one another in the Word. In casual conversations, during times of teaching and instruction, as part of the worship of God—all these and more provide opportunities for believers to teach, exhort, correct, admonish, and encourage one another in the Word of God. This continuous teaching provides a vital backdrop for the work of sanctification, and believers must not neglect to provide it.
