Those who love instruction love knowledge!
Those who loves discipline loves knowledge!
Those who ignores correction is unwise.
Proverbs 12:1 NIV
That loves the instruction of Wisdom, or Christ,
(Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.Proverbs 4:13);
the means of instruction, the Scriptures, which are profitable for instruction in righteousness, and are written for our learning; the Gospel, which instructs into the person, office, and grace of Christ; the ministers of the word, who are so many instructors in Christ; and even the rod of afflictions, by which men are taught their duty, and the will of God: and these are to be loved; and he that loves them clearly shows that he loves knowledge; since the means of instruction, making use of them, and getting instruction by them, are attended with labour, trouble, and difficulty; which a man would not choose, had he not a love unto and a desire after knowledge, and an increase of it; as the knowledge of God, of Christ, and of his truths.
The Lord GOD give me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak!
Isaiah 50:4
Let's do a bit of word research, learned both words are translated "limmud" adj. (lim-mood) meaning "taught". Also translate as "disciple", one who is "taught".
All children should be taught of the LORD; in turn; great shall be the peace of thy children. Isaiah 54:13
This leads us to the instructions and teaching that would come from the Utimate Teacher- Jesus the One and Only!
