If we are going to listen to any one in religion,it should be Christ.
In the early Christian community,it was only Jesus that was recognized as the only master .
We should not allow someone else like budhha teach us because budhha wasn’t appointed by GOD to teach.
It was only JESUS that was given the authority and the go-ahead to teach us by GOD.
Most people have held fast the commandments of men and threw away the doctrine and commandments of GOD and this is wrong and we should not be deceived.
I learnt that before joining any religious group,we should do a rigid scrutiny because there is a great deal of madness now
In our time.
CHRIST ordered the apostles to go and preach his gospel to the whole world and he promised them that he will always be with them at all times.
One of the major reasons why JESUS ordered the apostles to go about the whole world teaching,it’s for them to teach others what JESUS taught them.
I learnt that the very first doctrine of the LORD JESUS is baptism.
I learnt that if a thing is preached to us and it is not in the Bible,we should not accept it.
It is only what is in the Bible is what we should do and accept.
The first doctrine of Christ to a person who is an unbeliever is baptism because it is through baptism he or she can become as a member of the family of Christ.
Just like the encounter of Paul who was formerly called Saul,the first thing he was told to do when GOD called him out of Judaism was to get baptized so that his sins can be washed away and to be made a member of the family of GOD and this is the very first thing anyone who wants to be a member of the family of CHRIST should do.
The same Paul who was formerly called Saul became the a member,part and parcel of the church of GOD he once persecuted and wasted.
I learnt that the formal act of joining the church in the Bible is baptism.
Joining the church of GOD is very important and necessary.
I learnt that joining the church of GOD is not by force but by choice.
I learnt that the church was built by GOD for man to join it
The church is one big body and JESUS is the head of the body which is the church
I also learnt that people who are not Israelites are referred to as gentiles and gentiles are joint heirs with JESUS CHRIST.
I learnt that anyone who rejects the church or CHRIST or HIS words,the same person will be rejected by the same words of CHRIST he rejected on the last day.
Receiving CHRIST wholeheartedly is receiving his words.
We should leave anything with appearance of evil and hold fast that which is good and of GOD
Those who rejects the church or CHRIST are his enemies and are Antichrist.
The church is very important and GOD don’t build the church for us to avoid or reject it but for us to wholeheartedly join the church.
We should not in any way listen to those who are telling or preaching to us not to join the church because such persons are nothing but enemies of CHRIST.
The church of GOD was bought by the blood of JESUS because CHRIST loved the church so much that he gave his life for the church.
The church is the eternal purpose of GOD.
