The term "learnt" is the past tense and past participle of "learn," which means to acquire knowledge or skill through study, experience, or teaching. In the context of the Bible, learning is a significant theme, as it relates to the acquisition of wisdom, understanding, and the knowledge of God’s will. The Scriptures emphasize the importance of learning from God, His Word, and His creation.

Biblical Foundation of Learning

The Bible frequently underscores the value of learning and wisdom. Proverbs 1:5 states, "Let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel." This verse highlights the importance of being open to learning and growing in understanding. The pursuit of wisdom is a recurring theme in the book of Proverbs, where learning is closely associated with the fear of the Lord, which is described as the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7).

Learning from God’s Word

The Scriptures are presented as the ultimate source of truth and learning. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 , it is written, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work." This passage emphasizes that learning from the Bible equips believers for a life of righteousness and service.

Jesus as the Teacher

Jesus Christ is often referred to as "Rabbi," meaning teacher, and His earthly ministry was marked by teaching. In Matthew 11:29 , Jesus invites His followers to learn from Him: "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus’ teachings, parables, and example provide a model for believers to learn and emulate.

Learning through Experience and Community

The Bible also acknowledges the role of experience and community in learning. In the early church, believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship (Acts 2:42). This communal learning was essential for spiritual growth and understanding. Additionally, personal experiences, both trials and blessings, are seen as opportunities for learning and growth in faith (James 1:2-4).

The Role of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the learning process for believers. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would teach and remind His followers of all that He had said (John 14:26). The Spirit guides believers into all truth, helping them to understand and apply God’s Word in their lives.

Learning and Humility

Humility is a key attitude in the process of learning. James 1:21 advises, "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly receive the word planted in you, which can save your souls." A humble heart is open to correction and instruction, recognizing the need for continual growth in knowledge and wisdom.

Conclusion

The concept of "learnt" in the Bible encompasses a broad spectrum of acquiring knowledge, wisdom, and understanding through Scripture, the teachings of Jesus, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the experiences of life. Learning is portrayed as an ongoing journey that shapes the believer’s character and equips them for service in God’s kingdom.
