GOSPEL OF GOD and OF JESUS CHRIST the GOSPEL OF LIGHT in the House of God? “[EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE], and cometh down from the [FATHER OF LIGHTS], with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17).
The House of God is not in physical buildings with different names, but in JESUS THE SON, WHO IS OVER HIS OWN HOUSE, WHOSE HOUSE ARE WE, and we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end (Hebrews 3:6).
In our present time there are innumerable
church denominations that have developed since the time of the early churches
(Revelation 2:1-29).
However, we are to be very careful when we
decide to have fellowship of worship in any church denomination because the
word of God says:
“[KEEP THY FOOT] when thou goest to the house
of God, [AND BE MORE READY TO HEAR], than to give the sacrifice of fools: [FOR
THEY CONSIDER NOT THAT THEY DO EVIL]” (Ecclesiastes 5:1).
“[HE THAT BURNETH INCENSE, AS IF HE BLESSED AN
IDOL]. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations” (Isaiah 66:3).
“[THE SACRIFICE OF THE WICKED IS AN
ABOMINATION] to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. The way
of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but [HE LOVETH HIM THAT
FOLLOWETH AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Proverbs 15:8-9).
“For the time is come that judgment must begin
at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, [WHAT SHALL THE END BE OF
THEM THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF GOD]? And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:17-18).
“[BUT IF OUR GOSPEL BE HID, IT IS HID TO THEM
THAT ARE LOST]:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, [LEST THE LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF
CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, SHOULD SHINE UNTO THEM].
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus
the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
[FOR GOD, WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT
OF DARKNESS], hath shined in our hearts, [TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST]” (2 Corinthians 4:3-6).
When King Jesus was here on this earth he was
asked about his doctrine.
“Jesus answered them, and said, ‘[MY DOCTRINE
IS NOT MINE, BUT HIS THAT SENT ME. IF ANY MAN WILL DO HIS WILL, HE SHALL KNOW
OF THE DOCTRINE], whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that
speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that
sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him’” (John 7:16-18).
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in
the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. [HE THAT ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE OF
CHRIST, HE HATH BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON]” (2 John 1:9).
“And having an high priest over the house of
God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure
water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he
is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto
love and to good works” (Hebrews 10:21-24).
Our Lord Jesus is very clear when he expressed
when he comes, says: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven” (Matthew 7:21).
“For many are called, but few are chosen”
(Matthew 22:14).
“[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND
THEY FOLLOW ME]: And [I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave
them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:27-30).
“[HE THAT HATH RECEIVED HIS TESTIMONY HATH SET
TO HIS SEAL THAT GOD IS TRUE]. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of
God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the
Son, and hath given all things into his hand” (John 3:33–35).
“[FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR
BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS]: who gave himself a ransom for all,
to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).
“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY,
AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
“Grace be with all them that [LOVE] our Lord
Jesus Christ in [SINCERITY]. Amen” (Ephesians 6:23-24).
