Education
Christianity is one of the three major religions in the world. It covers a wide range of contents, including culture, history, morality, philosophy and so on. It forms the basic background of Western culture. For a long time, the academic circles have made a systematic study of Christianity, but the systematic research based on the Bible in the Christian educational thought is rare. In fact, the educational thoughts included in the Bible are of great value, because Christian educational thought is based on Biblical belief and has the basis of Biblical records.

Education is the process of educating people. Christianity has its own distinctive characteristics in its own way of education. Christian educational thought holds that, because children have the nature of sin, the education of children is not based on their natural growth for some guidance or inspiration, but according to the Bible to achieve the desired results. From the Bible's passage, it can be seen that the characteristics of Christian education.

Establishment of standards
Parents must make their children clear about what they expect. If the parents do not set the standards to which the child must comply, the child will not know the right or wrong of his behavior, and there is no reason for the parents to punish him for his fault. The Bible's principle of setting standards is embodied in Romans 4:15: "Where there is no law, there is no transgression." Here, the law is the standard set by God to man, and transgression is a violation of known standards. The establishment of standards is the basis for impartial discipline of children. Children have the right to know what their parents want him to do or not to do. The establishment of standards should correspond to children's understanding. It is only when a child understands a standard and is able to abide by it that he is responsible for its conduct. When parents set standards for their children, they should also explain to them that they will be punished if they do not comply with the standards; that is, standards should include warnings.

Blame
Christian education believes that because of the evil nature of every child, he was more inclined to be disobedient. Even if the child knows clearly that disobedience is punishable, he often cannot resist the power of his own desires and nature. Therefore, when parents set up standards, they should be psychologically prepared for children to violate this standard. When a child makes a mistake, his parents must point out his mistakes and blame him.

Acknowledge a mistake
Among the basic tenets of Christianity, confession and repentance is an extremely important content: People are guilty, in order to obtain forgiveness, so they must confess to God. In addition, the Bible also believes that there are natural criteria for measuring right and wrong. A well-educated child will take the initiative to admit his mistake when he realizes that he has done something wrong. A child who is not well educated will admit his mistake when he is found to be wrong and reprimanded. A child who does not admit even when his is being blamed is in a state of rebellion, and blame is the only way to deal with his behavior.

Forgiveness
After children admit their mistakes, parents should immediately forgive their children completely and let him feel fully accepted. There is no hint of forgiveness for any promise or grief or crying. A child may not feel sorry for his faults. Parents should not expect their immature children to react like adults to their own mistakes. The result of forgiveness is the restoration of the fellowship between the child and his parents. Children are free from the torment of fault and alienation from their parents, and parents no longer experience the tension caused by conflict with their children. For parents, it is important to make sure that their children and their fellowship have already begun again.

Criticism
The controlling and teaching emphasized by Christian education aims at curbing the tendency of evil in children's nature and emphasizing that children should obey their parents in everything. This kind of education method is often criticized as "autocracy" by some educational experts in society, but the so-called autocracy is based on the phenomenon that parents have their own mistakes but also force their children to obey. Moreover, using "autocracy" to generalize Christian education is contrary to the spirit of "love" of Christianity. In a sense, Christian education does have a "despotic" component; that is, children should obey their parents in everything, but this is entirely for the child's own benefit.
