Lesson 3026

Lesson (3026)(04-13-20) Hebrews 13:9-16
    “ Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”

   The first line of today’s quote is a very prophetic encouragement. It is so because today the true doctrine of Jesus Christ is almost impossible to find in many of the thousands of churches world wide. The pure Gospel of Jesus Christ has been twisted, warped, and watered down to suit the lifestyles of many of those who claim the be the children of God. Paul’s warnings in today’s quote not only was suited for his misguided Jewish brethren, it was also divinely directed to the churches of today. We were warned when Jesus said, “straith is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
    It is our Christian duty to constantly encourage everyone to seek the pure, undefiled word of God and to deny the blasphemous human doctrines that are so prevalent today.~
