APPROVED UNTO GOD

[Doug]

[John 4:24 KJV] "God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth."
[John 17:17 KJV] "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
[Romans 2:20 KJV] "An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law."
[2 Corinthians 4:2 KJV] "But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God."
[2 Timothy 2:15 KJV] "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
[2 Timothy 2:18 KJV] "Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some." ***********We should make sure we have the truth of scripture. We should only align ourselves with teachers who want only to teach what scripture says. We should disassociate ourselves from a church that places tradition above the WORD. We should not continue to fellowship with those who hold false teachings contrary to scripture, and continue to teach them when confronted. We should not remain in a church that is not faithful to the WORD.

Hello Doug, you are right about the truth of scripture and how important it is, more so today as we are in the end times.

I have a question for you, please before you answer consider all bible scripture;

Who is the greatest teacher that ever set foot on earth? and why?

 

[LoveYeshua]

Christ

Greater than Paul? does it mean you do as Christ asks?

 

[LoveYeshua]

Paul was taught by Christ************* [Galatians 1:12 KJV] "For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."

yes i know that Doug but you averted the question

What is the truth?

Here are the clear words of Jesus about eternal life, spoken simply so we can understand.

Jesus says His words give life​

John 6:63 (ASV)
“It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.”

---

Whoever hears and believes His word has eternal life​

John 5:24 (ASV)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.”

---

Keeping His word leads to life​

John 8:51 (ASV)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.”

---

His words will judge us​

John 12:48–50 (ASV)
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
… whatsoever I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.”

---

The words He gives come from the Father and lead to life​

John 14:23 (ASV)
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

---

His teachings are the way to life​

Matthew 7:24–25 (ASV)
“Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock…”

---

Eternal life is given to those who follow Him​

John 10:27–28 (ASV)
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish…”

---

To gain life, we must keep God’s commandments​

Matthew 19:16–17 (ASV)
“…What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
And he said unto him… if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.”

---

The words of eternal life are with Jesus​

John 6:68 (ASV)
“Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”

​

Jesus shows one clear path:
His words are life, and those who hear them, believe them, and keep them receive eternal life.

It is not only hearing, but holding onto His words and walking in them. That is how a person passes from death into life.
