Discipling others is a key to your continued growth in the Christian faith. As you learn from Christ and others, you have a chance to pass on that knowledge to others who are not as far in the walk as you.
As you disciple others, the things of the faith that you were aware of and recognize as important gradually turn into beliefs and commitments that will change our character to become more Christ-like. By teaching others, you own faith will be strengthened and our relationship with Christ will become closer.

To be clear, you do not need to be gifted in teaching to teach the Bible to others. Let me explain.
