1 Timothy 4:6-16 • “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.” v.16
What Must I Preach In Order To Be Saved, And To Save Others?
Must Preach Against False Doctrine • 1 Timothy 4:7 “reject profane and old wives’ fables” • Matthew 15:3-9 – Pharisees taught false doctrines – originate in the Minds Of Men • 1 Timothy 1:3,4 “teach no other doctrine” • What would w call a doctrine that was not the doctrine of Jesus Christ? • FALSE DOCTRINE!
Must Preach Against False Doctrine • 1 Timothy 6:3-5 “From such withdraw yourself” • “Unsound Words”: “he is proud, knowing nothing, but obsessed with disputes and arguments over words” • Goal of Preaching the Gospel to Save Souls • Romans 6:17,18
If Jesus and Paul Condemned False Doctrines, So Must I • Specifically: • “Salvation By Faith Only” – James 2:24 • “Sprinkling For Baptism” – Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:38,39 • “Baptism Because of The Remission of Sins” – Acts 2:38 “for the remission of sins” “FOR” looks to the futures • How can we neglect to preach against such false doctrines?
If Jesus and Paul Condemned False Doctrines, So Must I • Christian Science, Mormonism, Atheism, Denominationalism, Modern Fads such as Faith Healing, Speaking in Tongues, etc.
Must Preach Against Lusts Of The Flesh • 1 Peter 2:11,12 “abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul” • Romans 13:12-14 “let us cast off the works of darkness” “make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” • Galatians 5:16-21 “works of the flesh” • Why? • “Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God”
What are you teaching by the way you live and the words you say each day? • It is not enough to simply state the FACTS of the gospel and HOPE people will SEE the ERROR whenever it attacks them • According to the divine pattern, we must also preach AGAINST that which is FALSE
