LESSONS LEARNED:
Those that are teaching others and those that are being taught should have Christ in them.
One can not teach another the doctrine of Christ completely without having Christ Jesus in him.
Those being taught should believe so that the teaching would have effect in them.
We can not claim to know the will of God completely just after baptism. We have to continually listen to the word of God.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 says that the will of God is sanctification. So we should be practicing holiness and sanctification in order to do the will of God.
We should practice self control even with our spouses in order to give ourselves to fasting, and if we can do this with our spouses, then we can control ourselves with others.
We should as well control our tongues. It's not everything that we should utter as Christians. It is not everything we see on social media that we should comment on or share. Anything we like or share on social media means that we share the same view with the author.
In 1 Corinthians 10:23 Paul said, everything is lawful but not everything is edifying. So it is not everything that we should engage in.
2 Timothy 2:15-16 says that from a child, Timothy knew the holy scriptures which was able to make him wise unto salvation and that all scripture is given for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness... So we need the holy scriptures to continuously correct ourselves in order to attain sanctification.
Titus 3:2 warns us against speaking evil of any man. We should refrain from abusing one another on social media, so that we can invite them to God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 says that the conclusion of the whole matter is to fear God and keep his commandments.
Fearing God is keeping his commandments, but in doing holiness and serving God, we need no fear according to Luke 1:74.
One of the commandments of God a preacher should obey without fear is the rebuking of brethren. So we shouldn't allow anyone instill fear into us while serving God.
1 Peter 3:17 says it is better we suffer in doing good than in doing evil.
In order to serve God without fear, we need to do everything in love because perfect love cast out fear.
FORMER BELIEF: I did not have any opposing views to the teaching.
EFFECTS OF THE TEACHING:
I will always fear God and keep his commandments.
I will continually listen to God's word for instructions, corrections and reproof.
Thanks be to God.
We are inviting you to join the MCGI Cares (Hive) community that study the words of God and also earn some reward by making our reactions on it. We can check this link https://peakd.com/c/hive-182074/trending
Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.
MCGI Cares (Hive) community's main mission is to share the words of God, not the Hive upvotes. If we get upvotes, please treat it as just a bonus. Do not focus mainly on material things as the bible is teaching us not to look at things seen but rather focus our eyes on things not seen.
II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
