THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST

My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God, whether I speak of myself – John 7:16-17

When you hear the Apostle Paul obsess about Sound Doctrine, and caution both Timothy and Titus not to depart from it, it’s because he received it from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The Lord in turn received it from the Father.

The Early Church didn’t teach and preach whatever they wanted to. The Lord Jesus instructed them to go into all the world and make Disciples and teach them to obey everything He commanded them in that specific Doctrine. He entrusted them with the Words the Father entrusted to Him.

The Early Church was powerful because they taught the Doctrine of Christ. The modern Church is weak because we teach for Doctrine the commandments of men. We’ve stopped reading our Bibles and teach the dictates of our denominations, movements, and spiritual parents. We’ve elevated man above God and turned Christianity into a cult.

PRAYER

Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that the Modern Church may stop teaching doctrine and commandments of men and start teaching the Doctrine of Christ like the Early Church. Amen.
