Right, righteous, righteousness

“34Awake to righteousness, and sin not;

for some have not the knowledge of

God: I speak this to your shame” (1

Corinthians 15:34).

“11Being filled with the fruits of

righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ,

unto the glory and praise of God”

(Philippians 1:11).

“13Wherefore take unto you the whole armourof God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17).

GOD, CHRIST, HOLY SPIRIT

BIBLE,CHURCH, DOCTRINE

THERE IS NO “RIGHT WAY”

FOR UNBELIEVERS TO DO

A “WRONG” THING!

“22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that yelove one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever…25But the word of the Lord endurethfor ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” (1 Peter 1:22-25).

Many people foolishly believe that they

can “find” God without religion.

Many look at the divided and hopelessly

mired millions in the confused religious

and denominational world – and say that

that it is an impossible route to God.

Many seek to substitute “man’s will” for

“God’s will.” Some prefer sin to

righteousness.

“27Pure religion and undefiled before

God and the Father is this, To visit the

fatherless and widows in their

affliction, and to keep himself

unspotted from the world” (James

1:27).

The New Testament “gospel/church”

of Christ is the “religion” of Christ!

“3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the

Spirit in the bond of peace.4There is one body, and one Spirit, even

as ye are called in one hope of your

calling;5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,6One God and Father of all, who is

above all, and through all, and in you

all” (Ephesians 4:3-6).

No substitute for JESUS and the BIBLE!

Not Muhammad, Koran and Islam!

Not Hinduism, Ganges, quest for God!

Not Buddhism, eightfold path – Nirvana!

Not Roman Catholicism corruption!

Not Protestant denominations and its

myriad of doctrines and denominations!

BRETHREN: WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT!

“14That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:15Which in his times he shall show, who isthe blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;16Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen” (1 Timothy 6:14-16).

The New Testament church of Christ is…

“Kingdom of God” on earth.

“Called Out Body of Christ” on earth.

“Temple of God” on earth.

“Household of God” on earth.

“Bride of Christ” on earth.

“Family of God” on earth.

“12But when they believed Philip

preaching the things concerning the

kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus

Christ, they were baptized, both men

and women. 13Then Simon himself

believed also: and when he was

baptized, he continued with Philip, and

wondered, beholding the miracles and

signs which were done” (Acts 8:12-13).

“16Know ye not that ye are the temple of

God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth

in you?17If any man defile the temple of God,

him shall God destroy; for the temple of

God is holy, which temple ye are” (1

Corinthians 3:16-17).

Each individual Christian is a “stone” in the temple built on apostles’ foundation.

“19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit”(Eph.2:19-22).

Note: The instrument of music - “psallo” in

the temple is the human voice.

“19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and

hymns and spiritual songs, singing and

making melody in your heart to the Lord;20Giving thanks always for all things unto

God and the Father in the name of our Lord

Jesus Christ; 21Submitting yourselves one to another in

the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:19-21).

New Testament “doctrine” is established

by the authority and covenant “will of God. It is powered by the blood of Christ!

“42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44And all that believed were together…” (Acts 2:42-43).

Truth

Faith

Obedience

Baptism

Essentiality of the N.T. church

Manner of living

Hope of heaven

New Testament doctrine…is in the

New Testament of Christ!

“7In all things showing thyself a pattern of

good works: in doctrine showing

uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,8Sound speech, that cannot be

condemned; that he that is of the

contrary part may be ashamed, having

no evil thing to say of you” (Titus 2:7-8).
