The Value of a Biblical Education

By: Mel Constance

An article appeared in our Arizona Republic newspaper, titled, “Education pays off in hard cash” about the value of a college education and the ways it pays off over a lifetime. Here is a portion of the article:

By one measure, the short answer is that college graduates can expect
somewhere around $450,000 in additional lifetime earnings compared to
their friends with only high-school diplomas. In many respects, the value
of a college degree is much higher, especially when you factor in less-
obvious aspects such as health, civic involvement, workplace benefits and
even attitudes on life.

In today’s society disease seems to be just a part of life that people are expected to accept as normal. I've heard people with many problems calling radio shows with psychic hosts to ask for help and guidance on their lives because they don't know where their lives are headed. In Deuteronomy 28 we find a blessing and a curse for keeping the commandments of God. It tells us that disease, problems and calamities are sent as a punishment for breaking God’s commands that he gave man to follow, and plenty of blessings for keeping them too.

Our United States government has adopted the commandments into our laws and are the very laws we are judged by in our court system. They are also the same laws God will use to judge us at the end of our lives to determine where we will spend our eternity. With that said, it stands to reason that we would do much better in life if we were to educate ourselves by learning the commands and follow them to benefit ourselves throughout our whole lives. The younger we are when we learn them, then the more we can benefit by them by avoiding diseases, curses and the calamities listed in Deut 28, along with staying out of jail in our own states. 1 John 5:3 tells us, For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous. If they are not grievous and God and Christ both say to keep them, then we should keep them, for they are the standards for a just and fair society.

We make “life” plans for careers, marriage, retirement, children, and even death arrangements, but we don’t take the time to find out how to have a good long, healthy and prosperous life while we're young. People would find that there would be even more pay-offs in our society in other ways with less marital and family problems, less poverty or public assistance, higher pay, better job benefits, less disease and health crisis’s and over-all easier lives.

All it would take is a few months of commandment study, and 2-4 years more of other biblical studies to get a proper education of the best book about “life.” The sooner a person starts their training the more they will benefit from it, and in turn help others like family and society so they benefit too.

Now that’s an educational investment too good to pass up; creating a just and fair society; learning how to stop curses on our lives, how stay out of jail, and making "life" plans for a lifetime of prosperity, good health, and happiness. That’s far better than just hard cash!

Colleges aren’t the only place we can get an education. The value of God's knowledge and lessons far exceeds what we learn in limited or incomplete classes at college. You can start your "life" training class with the book "The Incomplete Person" and the Missing "Life" Information That Gives Us Bad Lives." It is now time to learn how to have good lives by learning the "missing LIFE information" that has been neglected to be taught in all academic schools.
