Promoting the "Real" Jesus! (June 16, 2013)

Promoting the "Real" Jesus!

Act 17:11 "Now these [Berean Jews] were better disposed and more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message... with inclination of mind and eagerness, searching and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."

We have the same responsibility today. Search the scriptures, both OT and NT. We are not to search scripture to prove our ideas, but to attain the truth of the Word and the true character of Christ. Take careful consideration not to alter what is written, not to take it out of context, to embrace the truth of it and discard hype-doing otherwise is disparaging to the character of Christ, the Living Word. Taking liberties with the Word is, in essence, promoting a Jesus who is not real!

There is no possible way to build true faith with doctrine that is not in agreement with the Word. What happens when we have doctrine that is "off" is that we destroy people's faith. As someone once said on this concern: wrong doctrine=high expectation based on wrong information!

Be true to Christ-accept Him as He truly is-the Living Word!

Psalm 119:11 Your word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
