The Doctrine of Christ

    Not the law of God, of which everyone is a transgressor daily in thought, word and deed, but the person who denies the doctrine of Christ the Messiah, has not, knows not, and believes not God.

    The “doctrine of Christ” concerns:

1. His person as the Son of God, as truly God, and the union of the two natures; divine and human in one person.

1. His offices as Mediator, Surety, Prophet, Priest and King.

1. His redemptive work, His obedience, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension.

1. His return to judge and to reign.

    This is the doctrine of King Messiah, the doctrine of redemption and eternal glory. The man who abides in the truth of Christ has both the Father and the Son. He has an interest in them and a knowledge of them (John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-13).

    If there comes to your church or your home (under the character of a preacher, teacher, or a religious leader) one who does not preach this doctrine but despises and denies it, do not allow him to preach in the house of God and do not entertain him in your home (Rom. 16:17; Gal. 1:8,9).

    “Neither bid him God speed.” Do not give the false teacher the usual civil form of salutation as “Good day, all hail, health and prosperity” or “God bless you.” Do not encourage him or give the impression that you are sympathetic with him, for it could mislead others to think favorably of him.
