Why do i say be teachable? I say this because many people have a problem in doing this. Honestly i get it, we humans don’t like to be told what to do. But i want to dissect and explain some verses in the bible that prove to us that God calls us to be teachable in this life we were given…

1. “To learn the truth you must long to be teachable, or you can despise correction and remain ignorant” Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT. ‬‬God is clearly stating in this verse if you want to know whats true and the right way to life, you have to allow him to teach you. You must yearn to know the right way to live in this life. The way is through Jesus; getting to know Jesus. In the bible God says,” Jesus is the truth the way and the life”. Meaning if you know Jesus and follow him, you’ll know the way, the truth, and life. Jesus is the simple answer to life, he paved the way for you and for me. It means if we don’t choose to learn the truth, we will continue being like this world; Ignorant because they are choosing to disregard Jesus.
2. “A fool is in love with his own opinion, but wisdom means being teachable” Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭15‬ ‭TPT‬‬. WOW! I don’t know about you but this verse “ESTA FUERTE”/ “IS TOUGH”. You are ignorant or unwise if you try to follow your ways. Meaning your own selfish ways, that simply pleases you. That doesn’t care whether it is wrong or right, it benefits you alone. God considers you wise if you allow yourself to be taught by what’s actually righteous. In order to find wisdom you have to be docile. In researching what the word “docile” mean’t its quite interesting that it means someone who is ready to accept control or instruction; submissive. Which is what you need to do when learning wisdom. It will definitely challenge you.
3. “You were taught to leave your old self. This means that you must stop living the evil way you lived before. That old self gets worse and worse, because people are fooled by the evil they want to do. You must be made new in your hearts and in your thinking. Be that new person who was made to be like God, truly good and pleasing to him” Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭ERV‬‬. You see in order to follow this verse you need to be teachable. I say this because when you follow this verse it requires for you to learn a new way of living. When you accept Jesus as Lord and savior, it requires for you to live differently. Meaning the old habits that you learned from the world cannot persist or remain. You can no longer live and think the same way. You see the world is used to living in Sin, God can’t and does not sin; so it can’t work together. I’m not going to tell you it’s easy, i’ll be the first to say it’s not. It requires daily sacrifice and allowing God to constantly teach you his ways; removing your old sinful ways #nolongerconformingtothisworld. Im going to be honest its definitely not comfortable at first. But this i promise, it will be so worth it- you’ll live a life of eternal joy and peace<—- that surpasses all understanding. It will get easier the closer you get to God because you just want to please him and live fully in him.

So i challenge you if you are reading this, allow God to teach you his ways. Think about it, when we were in school we worked so hard to learn because we believed that it would get us to something better a long the way; our future careers. A future we believed would set us for life. If we continue to study and follow Gods ways, we will be led to something much greater than that; eternal life.
