What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
What we do in the classroom can stay in the heads of our students for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, if we teach them biblical truths, that can lead to the Holy Spirit opening their hearts and their salvation. Our souls are eternal; our students’ souls are eternal. How we act and what we say will be a witness. It’s up to us to determine whether that witness glorifies God or labels us as hypocrites.

We are teaching our students building-blocks for their future, which includes eternity.
-
We are to give our students the means to have a successful life here on the earth. But keeping in mind that the goal is to give them the keys to continue on into eternity by teaching them that God loves them, how they can accept salvation, so they can be with Him forever.
-
A Christian education not only teaches the basic academic understandings and subjects. Christian education incorporates the biblical teachings that effect a students eternity. Their choices reading biblical teachings will directly effect their future.

We are eternal, but how we will spend said eternity will be different. Our soul won’t perish, the body will, but the soul won’t.
So back to the other question, is not about just the time we are spending on earth but where are we spending eternity that will be lasting more than our time on earth.
I love 2 Corinthians 4:18 “as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal”. The things that are seen are transient, meaning they will cease to exist but the things that we cannot see are eternal.
