THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF ALL THE DOCTRINES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST


THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF ALL THE DOCTRINES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

     Part 1
       
       All of us  in the entire sphere of this habitable planet earth should know well the great  importance of  all the doctrines of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Here are the Biblical reasons: “Whosoever  transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ,he hath both the Father and the Son”(2Jn.9);
“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed”(2Jn.10).

The Apostle Paul had given warning, to the brethren in his epistle to the Romans; he wrote to them, and said: mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them .For they that are such serve not our LORD JESUS CHRIST but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”(Ro.16:17-18).

In these latter days, many   claimed  that they are Christians, and identify themselves as followers of the LORD JESUS, but they don’t want to learn the LORD’S doctrines, by their reason based on their absurd opinion that, “ doctrinal teachings nor preaching with doctrine  is not important to the church congregations anymore, and they just need to hear, and learn about Christian living principles.”

They don’t really know, that the Biblical Christian living (Ezek.33:13  Ro.14:8; Phil.1:21;  4:13; Gal.2:20;)  can be truly  obtainable, just by learning the doctrinal principles that had been laid down by the LORD JESUS in all of His given instructions, in order to fashion our character into His own personal character which is Holy, (Lev.11:45;  Is.64:8;Eph.2:10; 1Pe.1:15-16).

In the Hebrew word, doctrine is (leqach), the meaning: something received, i.e. instruction (whether on the part of the teacher, or hearer).In Greek word, it is (didache) that mean instruction.
Therefore, doctrines are instructions, in the real sense of its meaning, and the written word of God are full of edifying, enlightening, directive, and beneficial doctrines for all who desire to have wisdom, from the necessary instructions of the LORD JESUS, “ The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility”(Pr.15:33).

Those who miss interpreted the true meaning of Christian Living erroneously think, that  it is just for life time of  enjoying tangible material  blessings of the LORD JESUS, and obsessions with expectation to have financial prosperity, evading the rightly directive doctrine of  the Holy Scriptures that we must seriously consider this: Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth ,supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thy self. But godliness with contentment is great gain(1Tim.6:5-6).

All true Christians anywhere in this finite world, knew well, that the LORD JESUS  given  doctrines for all of His just, and faithful adherents, is to live by faith in Him (Hab.2:4 ;Ro.1:17;Gal.3:11; Heb.10:38;11:6), Hence, the precisely right Christian Living Biblically, is to have unwavering, irrevocable, great faith to the LORD JESUS who alone is the author and finisher of our faith (Heb.12:2).

The true Christian Life is life  in JESUS, ( Ac.17:28; Ro.14:8;  Col.2:10;3:4 ) it  is life that forever  will remain all for JESUS, with irrevocable covenant for Him alone, in accordance to the self binding commitment to love the LORD in sincerity and in truth (Deut.6:4-5; Mk.12:30).

The LORD JESUS righteously said to those who  are not interested to  keep on learning His doctrines:  This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men,”(Mk.7:6-7).

In the book of Proverbs, there is motivation for us;  “To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding: To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity”(Pr.1:2-3).

In observation to many people, they have chosen to believe in superstitions, in pagan traditions, renouncing the great importance of the beneficial eternal doctrines of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and  because of these  wickedness and abominable transgressions, God the Father and the LORD JESUS CHRIST are not in them (2John9).

The prophetic message of the Apostle Paul to Timothy  eventually happen now, to many sectarian churches , even to the called church of the LORD JESUS, in his epistle to Timothy he explicitly  wrote:  “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,  exhort with  long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”
 (2Tim.4:2-4).

Now in these latter times according to the reminder of the Spirit, that some shall depart from the faith, giving heed in seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1Tim.4:1-2), they are nonconformist to the absolute, infallible, and enlightening doctrines of the Great teacher of the Truth, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In the appropriated given knowledge of the truth by the LORD JESUS CHRIST, we can discern   those who are not truly belonging to the  disciples,   flock,  sheep, or faithful adherents of Him (Ro.16:17-18). His true followers have fervent desire to have continuous learning of His edifying doctrines that will never pass away (Mt.24:35).

The LORD JESUS in His perfect will for all His called diligent servants in His ministry, want all of them, to have sagacious wisdom which the adversary of the LORD won’t be able to thwart (Mt.10:16); that they may not be carried away by any strange doctrines of the deceitful followers of the devil (Ep.4:13-14).

Awareness to discern with analytical probation, (1Thes.5:21;1Jn.4:1-3)  those who extremely disregard the great importance of the LORD JESUS doctrines is rightly acceptable in  the sight of the LORD;   because there were false Apostles and prophets in the days of Paul, the faithful servant of the LORD JESUS (2Cor.11:13-15);comparatively with false Christians in these latter days.Pretending to be Christians, having works in the LORD'S ministry, but with the subtle way of their deceptions,they misled even the LORD'S people (Mt.24:24)  to deviate from following the LORD'S infallible doctrines.

 "And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works (2Cor.11:14-15).

In the light of Biblical knowledge given by the LORD JESUS for us, we can discern now, that anyone who disregard, opposed, contradict, distort,  replaced, maligned and renounce the great importance of His infallible doctrines, can be identified as diabolic servant of the devil (Pr.13:13;Mt.12:30;2Thes.2:4).

All  commandments of the LORD have doctrines (instructions ),e.g.in Exodus 20 from His ten commandments, He gave instructions, or doctrinal rules:   “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me; Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth :etc..(Ex.20:3-4) .

The first five books of the Bible: viz. Genesis ,Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, have many doctrines (instructions) ,the entire book of the BIBLE as the written word of God, (John 20:31)  and as testimony of the LORD JESUS (Rev.19:10)  declared, that "all Scriptures is given  by inspiration of God, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.”

Now, anyone with extreme antipathy  against the great importance of all the doctrines of the LORD JESUS, cannot be identified as  true  Christian, for the reason that the  true disciple, follower, servant of the LORD JESUS diligently continue in His word, and know the truth (Jn8:31-32).
