“Living God’s Doctrine”

Doctrine:

-a particular principle, position, or policy taught or advocated, as of a religion or government:

Examples:

Catholic doctrines;

Baptist doctrine 

Pentecostal doctrine 

Christian doctrine 

-something that is taught; teachings collectively: such as 

Religious doctrine.

-a body or system of teachings relating to a particular subject:

-the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

-the doctrine of the Christian Church,

Baptist Church, Pentecostal Church ect..

————————————

✨Which I just listed some, but we know there are many churches. They each have their own policies, principals, that are taught. 

We, who are Christians, have the Holy Bible, other religions have their own  book of laws, rules, and policies. 

Misinformation occurs when we don’t read the Bible ourselves. 

An  important and a key issue for the preacher/ teacher to give instruction from the Bible and not twist scripture or preach falsehoods.

Rev 2:14  But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 

Think about our present day and how a person can teach falsehoods to people. 

When these teachings are practiced, deceived people are prone to commit sin, breaking the laws of God. And committing offenses against him. 

Revelation 2:13-16 NLT

I know that you live in the city where Satan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to me. You refused to deny me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you there in Satan's city. 

14] But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin. 

15] In a similar way, you have some Nicolaitans among you who follow the same teaching. 

16] Repent of your sin, or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

The danger of falsehoods occurs when people veer from the doctrine of God.

The Doctrine of God

The Authority of Jesus

Mat 7:28  And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Mat 7:29  For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 

Whose wife?—-paraphrased

👇🏽

The Sadducees, who don’t believe in the resurrection questioned Jesus about  whose wife, a woman would be, if she married several different men after each husband died, whose wife would she belong to in the resurrection?

👇🏽

Mat 22:28  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

Mat 22:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Mat 22:30  For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Mat 22:31  But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

Mat 22:32  I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Mat 22:33  And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Mat 22:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

They Error, of not knowing the scriptures or the power of God.

This is the problem we have today. 

There are many people who claim to be a Christian. And haven’t sat down one time to read the Bible.

They are unfamiliar with God’s scriptures, and don’t know that many things they do in their lives places their souls in jeopardy.

It takes reading the scriptures to learn what God wants us to do.

When we study God’s word, it is an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to minister to our spirit.

Some are walking around to this day believing God is of love. Therefore, he knows our heart as we continue to live with sin in our lives.

And yes, he knows our hearts, thoughts, and feelings. That we are aware of right from wrong, but continue to do wrong. 

There is no marriage in heaven. 

Some people have this grand idea of being reunited with their spouse who has passed away. 

We will be reunited with our love ones if they made it and if we make it. 

And whether it was one husband here on earth or eight, the reunion will be glorious for all who make it, but there is no hand and hand love birds who go off to a private hut.

No need to worry about which wife or husband to choose it says in👇🏽

Mat 22:30  For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

We will be God’s children, brothers and sisters by a spiritual bond.

Rev 21:7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 

Reading Revelation 21:8 tells us who will not be in heaven:👇🏽

Rev 21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

The sun and moon will not be required.

Rev 21:23  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Rev 21:24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Rev 21:25  And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.  

The gates will not need to be shut because nothing that was out of alignment with God will no longer be roaming around anywhere. This is permanent.👇🏽

Rev 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. 

Nothing that defiles:

Defile:

-To make foul, dirty, or unclean; pollute; taint; debase.

-to make impure for ceremonial use; desecrate.

-to pollute a house of worship.

To make morally unclean

Taint-a trace of something bad, offensive, or harmful.

-a trace of infection, contamination, or the like.

-a trace of dishonor or discredit.

Debase-to reduce in quality or value; 

-He wouldn't debase himself by doing manual labor.

Nothing that works Abomination 

Nothing that makes a lie 

Abomination-

-intense aversion or loathing; detestation:

-a vile, shameful, or detestable action, condition, habit, etc.:

Lie-a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth.

-an inaccurate or untrue statement; falsehood:

-to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive.

Rev 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie…

This first part of the scripture of Revelation 21:27 is telling us who will not be in heaven. Their names will not be in the book of life.👇🏽

Rev 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. 

Only those names written in the book of life will be residents of heaven.

As we read the scriptures learn to pray about what is read.  There are scriptures that tell us what God expects, but we will lean on what we heard from a preacher.  

Not everyone who preaches the Godspell sets out to misinform or mislead. But covering our lives with prayer will keep deception from setting in.

Living the doctrine of God will bring us closer to him, we will know what his word says because we have to read it instructions in order for us to know what to do the correct way. 

We read instructions for everything else before doing it. Reading God’s instructions for living a holy life is the most important instructions we will ever read because our eternal lives, our soul depends on it.

Learn God’s doctrine.

Come back for part 2 of living God’s doctrine.

My Closing Prayer:

Father, guide us through the pages of your holy scriptures, teaching your laws, precepts, and mandates.

There are many doctrines of teachings however, if we want your truth we need to keep our focus in your word.

The danger of falsehoods occurs when people veer from the doctrine that is your truth. Give understanding and I pray we submit to your way. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
