Why is it important to keep on learning?

 

Wednesday 1 February 2017

A wise man will hear and increase learning,

And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel

Proverbs 1:5

We are told in Proverbs that the wise person love to learn, so why is it important to keep learning?

  1. When you learn you become wise

The first reason why it is important to keep on learning is that it will make you wiser. Proverbs 1:5 tells us that a wise person will learn and become wiser. Therefore if you want to become wiser you should never stop learning.

When the Apostle Paul was writing to Timothy and asking him to come and visit him, he especially requested that among other things he brings his books with him. This suggests to us that Paul was always learning:

When I was in Troas, I left my coat there with Carpus. So when you come, bring it to me. Also, bring my books. The books written on parchment are the ones I need.

2 Timothy 4:13 (ERV)

  1. Learning from others will inspire you to life an extraordinary life

When God calls you to do something extraordinary with your life, it may seem daunting at first, however if you will read books from other people in history who have done extraordinary things with their lives, you too will realise that nothing is impossible. This is why it is so important to read about the heroes of the Bible as well as biographies of contemporary people who have done extraordinary things:

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:9 (NLT)

  1. Learning will make you an expert in your field

It is estimated that if you will spend one hour a day reading around your subject area you will become an expert in that field within 10 years, therefore learning is key if you want to excel in your God-given assignment:

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to have a continuous love of learning in Jesus name.
