THE HEALTH OF THE
DOCTRINE OF JESUS # 6I solemnly
charge"I
charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and
the dead at his appearing and his kingdom" (2 Timothy 4:1).
INTRODUCTION:
A. "I charge you" = I
solemnly charge.
B.
1 Tim. 5:21,
"I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that
thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality."
2 Tim. 2:2,
"What you heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will
be able to teach others also."
I.
BEFORE GOD AND THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST
A.
Who will judge the living
and the dead - 1 Thess. 4:16, 17. One day soon we will all be judged.
Our work will
be checked. Paul instructs, then, in
view of the judgment. Matt.
25:31-46, 2 Cor. 5:10. It
is very obvious in the writings of Paul that this thought was always in his
mind.
1. (Rom.2
:5-10, 16) "But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are
treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the
righteous judgment of God, 6 who will render to each man
according to his works: 7 eternal life to those who by persistence in doing good
seek for glory and honor and immortality, 8 but wrath and anger to those who are
contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, 9 tribulation
and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the
Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew
first and also the Greek, 11 there is no respect of persons to God. "
V. 16,
"the day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secrets of men, according
to my gospel."
2. Acts. 17:30,
"But God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now he commands all men
everywhere to repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the
world in righteousness by that man
he has appointed, having furnished proof to all by raising him from the dead ",
Acts. 10:42,
"And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the God
to be the Judge of quick and dead."
3. 1 Cor.
4:3-5,
"I care very little I have to be judged by you or by any human court and I even
judge myself. 4
For though I have nothing bad conscience, so I am not justified, but He who
judges me is the Lord. 5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, to light the
hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts: and then shall
every man have praise of God. "
4. 1 Thess.
4:15-17
"15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who
are left until the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16
For the Lord himself with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet of God, come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
17
Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
"Apoc. 20:11-13
"11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, fled from the earth
and the sky, and no place was found for them. 12
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their
works. "
B. IN
PROTEST: You must prepare for the Lord comes and wants to find clean of body,
soul and spirit. Remember
that without holiness no man shall see the Lord (Heb 12:14-16) "Follow peace
with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
15
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God and that no root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 lest there
be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold
his birthright. "
1.
1 Tim. 6:14,
"to keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our
Lord Jesus Christ" Titus 2:13, "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."
2. This
word is also used of his first coming (1 Tim 3:16) "And without controversy
great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in
the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed in
the world, received up into glory. "(2 Timothy 1:10)" But is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought
to light life and immortality through the gospel ".
C.
And his kingdom: 2 Tim. 4:18,
"And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His
heavenly kingdom," 2 Pet. 1:10,
"Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election
sure you do these things, ye shall never fall. 11
Because of this and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. " This
text does not say that Christ is coming to establish his kingdom, as already
established in his first coming (Col. 1:13, 1 Cor.
15:24-26).
II. Preach the word
A. "Preaching"
is being proclaimer or herald the king's message. Acts. 8:5,
"Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ" V-12 "But
when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God and
the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women" V-35
"Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached
Jesus". V-36
"And as he journeyed, came to some water, and the eunuch said, here is water:
what doth hinder me to be baptized? V-37
"Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. Answered
and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. " V-38
"And he commanded the chariot, and down into the water, Philip and the eunuch,
and he baptized him."The
evangelist must proclaim the whole truth (Acts 20:20, 27) "20and nothing that
was how I kept back and have taught you publicly and from house to house
27porque have not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God." Mat must
preach. 16:24,
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross and follow me." The
gospel contains: made to believe, obey commandments and promises to
enjoy.
B. 2 Tim. 2:15,
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need
to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of
truth."
C. 1Pet. 4:11, "If
any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." 2 Tim. 3:16,
17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work."
D. Interestingly synonymous with
"word" in Acts. 13:5,
"the word of God," 13:7, "the word of God," 13:8, "faith" 13:10, "the right
ways" 13:12, "the Lord's doctrine ".(Acts
13:5, 7, 8, 10, 12) "5Y arrived at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the
synagogues of the Jews. John
was with Assistant; 7Attractions was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a
prudent man. This
man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God, 8But
withstood them Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name), away from the faith
seeking to turn the proconsul, 10 said, O full of all deceit and of
all mischief, thou child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness! Do
not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?; 12Then the proconsul, seeing
what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
"
E. Some
make false distinction between "the gospel" and "doctrine", saying that gospel
means the good news about Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-4) "1In you, brethren, the gospel
which I preached to you, which
you received and on which you stand, 2 by which also, if you hold fast that word
which I preached, are saved, if you believed in vain. 3
For I delivered to you first of what I also received: that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and rose again the
third day according to the Scriptures ", proclaimed in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, while doctrine is what is
taught after Pentecost. They
say this to say that you can have fellowship with all who believe in Christ but
we are well divided in doctrine.
The Bible makes no such distinction.
Eg.,
1Tim. 1:10,
11, "10To fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, perjurers, and
whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel
of the blessed God, which I have been entrusted
"2Jn 1:8-10" 8Mirad yourselves, lest they lose what you have worked for, but may
win a full reward. 9Cualquiera
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10If
anyone comes to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your
house, neither bid him God speed: Welcome ".
F. What
does "preach the word"? Read the rest
of the verse. What
prophets preached eg., Jonah, Noah, John the Baptist and the apostles?
What Philip preached? (Acts
8:5, 12) "5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ.
12
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God
and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
"
III. A
CHARGE
A. Be prepared in season and out
of season: Rom. 12:11,
12 "11In what diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12gozosos in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."The
faithful evangelist seeks opportunities to preach the word, as he sought
opportunity to betray (Mk.14: 11) "when they heard it, were glad, and promised
to give him money. And he sought
opportunity to betray him. "Remember
that for most human beings there is sufficient time to hear the gospel.
Acts. 24:25,
"he reasoned about righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix
trembled, and answered, Go thy, but I'll call you when I have
opportunity."However, for really no wrong time.
The
evangelist must put his life and teaching under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
through the Scriptures (John 3:16-17) and always be alert and ready to carry out
his work.
B. Reprove, John 3:16. Convincing guilt. Should
clearly make the sinner realize his sin, which is on the wrong track.
Reproof means compel men
to be as it is.Jesus asked, "Which of
you convicts me of sin?" Jn. 8:46.
"Therefore,
if your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him (convicts) thee and him
alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother", Mat. 18:15,
"For everyone who does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest
his deeds should be reproved (reproved) Jn. 3:20,
"And when he comes, will convict (convict) the world of sin, righteousness and
judgment", Jn. 16:8. It
also means refute, rebuke: "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove (reprove), Efes. 5:11
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose
them."
C. REBUKES. Jesus
rebuked the unclean spirits (Matt. 17:18), wind (Matt. 8:26), fever (Luke 4:39)
and the disciples (Mark 8:33, Luke. 9:55) .
Titus 2:15, "These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
No
one despise you "(of course, when someone rebukes now, should be with the full
authority of biblical texts well used, and not by the authority of human
opinion); (Matt. 16:22, 23) Peter began to rebuke, but
in turn he was rebuked by the Lord: "22Then Peter took him aside and began to
rebuke him, saying: Lord, have mercy on thee, this shall not be unto thee, 23
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee before
me, Satan: thou art an offense me, because not mindful of the things of God, but
those that be of men ", Mat. 16:23
is a clear example of the rebuke from Jesus of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees
and scribes (Acts 5:3,4) "3Y Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your
heart to lie to Holy Spirit, and of the price of
the land? 4Reteniéndola, did it not remain
your own? and sold, was it not in your power?
Why have you conceived
this thing in thine heart? You have not lied to men but
to God ", Acts. 13:10,
"O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, enemy of all
righteousness! Do not cease to
pervert the right ways of the Lord? "Ac. 13:46,
"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, Unto the truth needed to be spoken
first the word of God, but put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of
eternal life, I Here, we turn to the
Gentiles. "
Another similar word is "resisting".
Eg., Gal.
2:11,
"But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him face to face, because he stood
condemned."
Sin
separates us from God (Isa. 59:1, 2) "1HE here is not the Lord's hand shortened
to save, nor his ear too dull to hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated you
from your God ,
and your sins have hid his face from you will not hear "it is therefore
necessary that all realize its severity. Sin but
should not be exposed and rebuked them white.You need
rebuke of the most direct and even severelywho
refuses to repent of their sins.
D. CALLS: ENCOURAGED TO
OBEY, to act, to be faithful. 1Thes. 2:7,8
"7Antes were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
8Tan,
affectionately longing for you, we were well not only the gospel of God but also
our own souls, because ye were dear unto us "; 1Tes.2: 11," As ye know how, as
the
father to his children, we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you.
" Heb.3:
12 "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief
in departing from the living God"; Heb.13: 22 "I beseech you, brethren, suffer
the word of exhortation, for I have written briefly.
"
E. With
great patience (longsuffering, extreme patience, patience without limits)
2Tim.3: 10, "But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, love and patience." (Rom. 2:4, 9:22, 1
Tim. 1:18, 1 Peter 3:20).If
God had been a man, would long ago have raised his hand to destroy the world,
but has such patience that supports all our sins and we discarded. In
our lives, in our attitude and our dealings with our neighbors we play this
attitude of God toward us, love, tolerance, forgiveness and patience.
Peter
speaks of this 2Ped.3: 15, "And count the patience (forbearance) of our Lord is
salvation".
SEE ALSO 2 Cor. 6:6, Col. 1:11, 3:12, Gal. 5:22, Eph. 4:2.
F. AND DOCTRINE: Always
teaching and applying the Word. Many
exhortations not carry weight because they are not doctrine, not biblical texts,
but only the words of the speaker. Unfortunately
there are brothers who "preach" many sermons with almost no
Bible.Is
pure news about them and the world behind a pulpit, and entered the ears dare
many people who are deceived and led by the hand of the error. There are brothers who
have the "gift of speaking". They
have an unlimited vocabulary, and may at any time, without notice, talk about a
thousand threads, but what do they say? How
much build? Even
without using biblical texts rebuke, but what kind of rebuke is? That
all preaching, reproof and exhortation is with
doctrine!
G. For
what purpose? To save souls, to rescue the error.
Matt. 18:15, Gal. 6:1; Sant. 5:19, 20. We
do not want the sinner to despair, but to understand that God's way is better
than your wrong. If
the preacher or teacher just wants to cut rebuke of communion, not the spirit of
Christ. Christ
and the apostles taught, preached, rebuked, and exhorted to save souls and
build.
