Education

You can always increase education by counseling with the Lord, to not counsel is to be a fool and learning is in vain. Parent's education to you is "an ornament of 'grace' unto the head" or "a divine means of help or strength given through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ." (BD). Education leads to good works, salvation and God - it is life.  In order to grow in knowledge, you must 1) always rejoice 2) be filled with the love of God and 3) repent. The glory of God is intelligence (light and truth). You gain education through His Spirit, and it gives you the "mind of Christ." *My education should be intricately connected to charity and humility. If I'm not rejoicing and repenting and reaching out to others, then everything I "learn" is in vain. The more I do those things, the more light and truth I will have until I have the mind of Christ and become like God.
