JESUS CHRIST AND HIS WORKS POINT MEN TO FATHER GOD! 
Most important doctrine of the Church ? (Wahshing)
|
Hi,
You will agree with me that the Holy Scriptures reveal JESUS CHRIST who came from FATHER GOD who is in Heaven. And from the Gospels accounts, we see the records of the life and the works of Jesus leading to His death and resurrection. During His lifetime on earth, He says time and again that He came to reveal the Father God; He came to do His will; He came to do His Father's business; He came to do the Works of Him who sent Me. Through His death and resurrection, He defeated sin and satan; HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD; HE IS THE GOD-SENT SAVIOUR. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. In essence, Jesus and His works point men to Father God, the true and living God who created the heavens and the earth by His great power. Before His departure for Heaven, he breathed on His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit or aka the Spirit of Christ. See the words of Jesus in Jn 20:21, "So Jesus said to them again,"Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." In Christ, we become God-sent disciples. As Jesus and His works point men to Father God, our Christlikeness and the works of Christ through our lives empowered by the Spirit of Christ should point men to Jesus and Father God. All other works which do not reveal the works of God/Christ only serve to promote the self-righteousness of men (humanitarian cause) which is an abomination in God's sight (Jn 9:3,4). THE ONLY HOPE FOR MANKIND IS JESUS! Jesus says, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me." Because there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Let's be resolute in our resolve to point men to Jesus according to the lyrics of this song,
LIFT JESUS HIGHER, LIFT JESUS HIGHER LIFT HIM UP FOR THE WORLD TO SEE HE SAID IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father and is returning soon to rapture His church. We are His representatives on earth, when we reflect Christ and demonstrate His works through our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can draw all men to Jesus and to Father God. It is the attractiveness of Jesus in our lives that draw all men to Him; there is no necessity for human persuasion and coercion. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! In His steps,
