He allows us to go through thousands of experiences to show us the worthlessness of trusting in anything else. We can look to hundreds of other sources. If we are fortunate to have a caring discipler beside us, they will gently take the Scriptures and remind us of the faithfulness of God and the value of a God-oriented life.
So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have taught you today, even you. (Proverbs 22:19)
It is our great task and highest privilege as followers of Christ to teach others what we know of Christ. If you have come to Him, your calling is to grow in Him and then share that truth with others.
But there is one purpose. It is not to impress them with your knowledge or to merely drill into them a prescribed set of ritualistic formulas about the Christian life. To proudly or selfishly pull them just to us is to pull them away from the One they need.
The Endgame
Our goal is to help them to Christ. He is the never-ending source of life and wisdom. Everything they will ever need, they will find in Him.
