520 |a FAITH IS THE overall purpose of everything we do as Christians, but education has a purpose in itself. Luther's model of the two governments is useful in thinking about the purpose of education. According to this, God governs his world through both his spiritual and his secular government. He has two purposes in what he does — both to save people and to make the world a good place to live. Education is primarily part of God's secular government, and its ultimate aim is the service of God by doing good to other people. Christian education, unlike liberal education, claims that there is basically only one good life, namely the service of God. It teaches pupils about God and his salvation, but it cannot create or maintain faith.
