The concept of "transmit" in the biblical context often relates to the passing on of teachings, traditions, and divine commandments from one generation to another. This transmission is a crucial aspect of maintaining the faith and ensuring that the knowledge of God and His works is preserved and propagated among His people.

Transmission of the Law and Commandments

One of the primary examples of transmission in the Bible is the giving of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai. Moses received the commandments directly from God and was tasked with transmitting them to the Israelites. This is seen in Exodus 24:12 : "The LORD said to Moses, 'Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.'"

The transmission of the Law was not only a one-time event but a continuous process. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 emphasizes the importance of teaching these commandments to future generations: "These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

Transmission of Faith and Tradition

The transmission of faith is also evident in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul speaks of the importance of passing on the teachings of Christ and the apostles. In 2 Timothy 2:2 , Paul instructs Timothy: "And the things you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others also."

This verse highlights a multi-generational transmission of faith, where teachings are passed from Paul to Timothy, and then to others who will continue the cycle. This ensures the continuity and preservation of Christian doctrine.

Transmission of the Gospel

The Great Commission, as recorded in Matthew 28:19-20 , is a direct command from Jesus to His disciples to transmit the Gospel to all nations: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

This command underscores the responsibility of believers to transmit the message of salvation through Jesus Christ to every corner of the world, ensuring that the Gospel reaches all people.

Transmission of Spiritual Gifts and Wisdom

The Bible also speaks of the transmission of spiritual gifts and wisdom. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul discusses the distribution of spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church. These gifts are to be used to build up the body of Christ, and their transmission is through the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.

Furthermore, the transmission of wisdom is encouraged in Proverbs, where the pursuit of wisdom and understanding is a recurring theme. Proverbs 4:1-2 states: "Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound teaching; do not abandon my directive."

Conclusion

The biblical concept of transmission encompasses the passing on of divine commandments, faith, the Gospel, spiritual gifts, and wisdom. This process is vital for the preservation and propagation of the faith, ensuring that each generation receives the knowledge and truth of God's Word.1. (v. t.)
