The Importance Of Admonition And Instruction

What is Admonition and Instruction and why is it so important in the body of Christ?

Admonition - signifies a gentle warning or counsel, pointing out a mistake, warning of potential danger, and offering advice to improve.

Instruction - Refers to the act of teaching or giving directions, a direct form of teaching or guidance.   

As the theme has been Community over the last couple of weeks, some may forget that the Bible speaks of both admonishing each other and instructing each other.  Even in admonishing one another, it is so important that we do it in love and concern.  We must never forget that sin destroys and corrupts all of us, and we are called to admonish one with the truth of God because a little leaven leavens the whole lump.
