Whose Doctrine Have You Received?

     Spiritual teachings that we believe and act on, either give glory to the God of the prophet Jesus, or result in sins against Him.

     Those who are not chosen of God to receive everlasting life cannot be drawn to Jesus (KJV John 6:44) and John 6:65

     The Father does the drawing of the believers. The Father, for the purpose of granting eternal life, will never draw anyone to another prophet except Jesus.

     People who do not understand God's teachings that lead to faith in the Lord Jesus are not taught by Him. And they shall all (believers) be taught by the Father (KJV John 6:45).

      Jesus will resurrect the believers at the last day (KJV John 6:39-40). That resurrection cannot include those who rejected the Father's doctrine that God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. The believer's faith in the Messiah, Jesus, who died on the cross in Jerusalem, cannot be counted as vain. If sinners can be saved by other means then it is vain for believers in Christ to continue in the Father's doctrine. Believers and unbelievers alike, should take note of the truth, that the Father Himself makes sure that the believers continue to believe in Jesus. The believers are not left alone to arrive at the resurrection by chance.

Whose Doctrine Have You Received? cont'd.

      Jesus, by promising to raise the believers at the last day, is requiring them to believe His promise, is asking them to believe that He is divine, and is showing them that He stands apart from all other prophets of God. Indeed He was that special prophet Moses said would visit Israel. He would be the one to speak the Father's doctrine. Those who do not obey Him would be refusing the Father who sent Him. They would be cut off from Israel.

     The teachings of many are contrary to the Father's doctrine which He gave to His Son Jesus.

     Jesus, speaking as a prophet and a man, could not claim the doctrine of the Father as His own (KJV John 7:16). The doctrine came with authority, given to the prophet Jesus, to teach them as the Father's doctrine and not as His own. The glory of the teachings belong to the Father.

     Teachings that are contrary cannot give glory to the Father. Indeed, while they may sound good to the ears of many, they are sins.
