John 7:16-18

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.

Christ taught God’s doctrine. Today we teach the same doctrine. It is not for our benefit that we tell the world about Christ, but for the glory of God. Those that teach for their own glory will get their reward and it will not be pleasant. Now the question is do you want to glorify God or man.

Helaman 27:19-22

And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end. Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do; Therefore, if ye do these things blessed are ye, for ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

This is the basic gospel of Christ. Repent for your sins and be baptized. If you do this you will be numbered with the righteous in the end. If you do not repent and be baptized unto Christ by one have his authority you cannot be numbered as one of his sheep. The choice is yours, which will it be?

Message 64:9

Let the faithful rejoice for I come at the Lord’s command for the Lord has heard their prayers and will bless.

The messenger comes because God sends him. He will come again until the work is finished. We should be thankful for the messages that we have to help guild us in our walk with Christ and be praying for the ones yet to come. God listens to his people. He will send his messenger back when he is ready. All we have to do is prepare ourselves to do his will.

1 Timothy 4:1-6

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

The bible warns us that there will be some who will follow the ideas of man and fall away from the true teachings of Christ. We can see this all around us in the world today. Are you following the ideas of man? Will you come to learn the truth?
