It encompasses both verbal and written forms of communication and is a significant aspect of biblical narratives, teachings, and commandments. Telling is often associated with the transmission of God's word, the recounting of historical events, and the sharing of personal testimonies. Biblical Instances and Themes: 1. Divine Revelation and Prophecy: Telling is a crucial component in the delivery of divine messages and prophecies. Prophets in the Bible were often tasked with telling the people the words of God. For instance, in the book of Jeremiah, God commands the prophet, "Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word" (<a href="/jeremiah/26-2.htm">Jeremiah 26:2</a>). This highlights the importance of faithfully communicating God's messages without alteration. 2. Teaching and Instruction: The act of telling is central to teaching and instruction within the biblical tradition. In <a href="/deuteronomy/6-7.htm">Deuteronomy 6:7</a>, parents are instructed to teach their children the commandments of God: "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" . This passage underscores the role of telling in the transmission of faith and values across generations. 3. Testimony and Witness: Telling one's personal experience of God's work is a powerful form of testimony. In the New Testament, the apostles are often seen telling others about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. <a href="/acts/4-20.htm">Acts 4:20</a> states, "For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard" . This reflects the imperative to share the gospel and bear witness to the truth. 4. Historical Narration: The Bible contains numerous historical accounts that are preserved through the act of telling. The recounting of Israel's history, from the patriarchs to the kings, serves to remind the people of God's faithfulness and their identity as His chosen people. The Psalms often recount these accounts, as seen in <a href="/psalms/78-4.htm">Psalm 78:4</a>: "We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might, and the wonders He has performed" . 5. Parables and Stories: Jesus frequently used parables as a method of telling profound spiritual truths in a relatable manner. These accounts were designed to convey deeper meanings and provoke thought among His listeners. For example, the Parable of the Sower (<a href="/matthew/13-3.htm">Matthew 13:3-9</a>) is a telling of a simple agricultural account that reveals truths about the kingdom of God and the reception of His word. 6. Warnings and Exhortations: Telling is also used in the context of warnings and exhortations. The prophets often told of impending judgment and called the people to repentance. <a href="/ezekiel/3-18.htm">Ezekiel 3:18</a> illustrates this responsibility: "If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood" . Significance in Christian Life: Telling remains a vital practice in the life of believers. It involves sharing the gospel, teaching biblical truths, and bearing witness to God's work in one's life. The Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a> calls Christians to "go and make disciples of all nations," which inherently involves telling others about Jesus Christ and His teachings. Through telling, the faith is propagated, and the community of believers is strengthened.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
