TBR English Service: Make The Word Central To Our Faith

What grows our Christian life? Is it merely just attending church meetings? Or is it through hearing amazing testimonies? Essentially, what have been grossly neglected in churches these days is making the Word the centrality of our Christian faith. Only the inspired and infallible Word of God commands absolute authority in our lives, and only with it brings divine power to change the human hearts.

[WordsofGodThe]

*1. God's people* will always keep God's covenant. The chief end of God's covenant is to bring men back to God through men's obedience after men have rebelled against Him. There are *3 stages* through God's provision and each stage has got to do with obedience to the words and commandments of God given through Moses, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We will notice that the Ten Commandments are still the words of God because obedience to the Commandments are always required and taught in God's covenants at A, B, & C:
*A > B > C*
Moses Jesus Holy Spirit

*2. However, there are men* who would stop at a certain stage and still rebel against the words and commandments of God, e.g. the Pharisees and the unrepentant Jews who never had the genuine conviction or obedience to obey God:
*A > >*
Moses - -

*3. There are also men* who would never accept any of God's covenant eg. the unrepentant sinners. They have no covenant with God:
*- > >*

*4. However, the worst type of men* are those who 'create' a different covenant (D) and give people the false impression that God's covenant has no more law or commandments for them to obey. They are the false prophets.
*- > > > D*

*5. The saddest thing is that many deceived believers* think that the false prophets are their 'saviors' or 'christs' because they can give them the best covenant that suit all of them with no more law or repentance. They think that they have Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but in reality they have rejected the words and commandments of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The covenant that they have accepted is just a false covenant with the false impression that they have B (Jesus) and C (the Holy Spirit) when actually they have only D and the false prophets :
*- > > > D*

I would consider God's covenant as 3 stages because God has shown us the emphasis of the covenant in three forms of representation: sacrifice (blood), repentance (water), transformation (Spirit) :
*A > B > C*
Moses Jesus Holy Spirit
(blood) (water) (Spirit)

1Jn 5:6-9 KJV This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. (7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and *these three are one* . (8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (9) If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
The false preachers are also known as the false prophets because they would come to bear false witness against the teaching and ministry of the blood, water, and Spirit in the last days. Jesus prophesied against them because they would surely come in the last days.
