Principles of the Doctrine of Christ by J-me Pt 1 5/29/2009 12:42:52 PM
Hebrews 5:12-14
Hebrews 6:1-2 • Hebrews 5:12-14, "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
• Hebrews 6:1-2, "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
It is obvious by these verses that God expects Christians to learn the principles of Christ and build on them. Salvation is not the end, it is only the beginning.
The Bible makes it very clear that discernment only comes through use of God's Word. There is no other way to grow in Christ.
The Bible is very clear in announcing the Principles of Christ. They are:
• Repentance from dead works
• Faith toward God
• Doctrine of baptisms
• Laying on of hands
• Resurrection of the dead
• Eternal judgment
These six principles are the foundation that every Christian should build upon. I will be writing on these principles in the following weeks.
I do not ask you to believe what I write, but I do ask you to check out the things I say in the word. The Bible tells us to check out everything with the word of God. God's word even calls people more noble for doing so.
• Acts 17:11, "These were more noble than those in Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."
