How do your answers to “the big questions of life” discussed in this lesson influence you in your role as an educator?

I can answer this by knowing and believing that I was made in the image of God. This makes me know that I am where I am supposed to be. This makes a huge difference in not only how we see our learners, but how we see ourselves.

My answers to the big questions helps me to be a better educator. It helps to guide what I teach and how I teach it. I want to be a role model to my students and if I know who my creator is and why he created me, then I can share that with my students. I want to be the reason my students accept Christ into their lives, and to know God has a bigger purpose for them than just bring here on earth.

It allows me to speak to others intelligently about what exactly I believe, why I believe what I do (evidence from the Word and my life). It allows me to show students and their families that our lives here on earth matter and that our calling in life is a higher one that is realized on earth but ongoing in heaven.

My understanding of “who I am, where I came from, where I’m going and what is the meaning of life” most certainly influence my instruction because I want the students to know, with confidence that they were created in God’s image for his purpose and they can choose to live with him forever.

I believe they absolutely determine if I am approaching my classroom with a biblical worldview. It’s so easy to have the ideas of this world entangled with what we know about the Bible and biblical truths. But the reality is, if we don’t answer these questions from a biblical perspective, then it affects how we influence our students and how we teach.
