176 - If You Abide In My Word You Are My Disciples

Overview- If You Abide In My Word You Are My Disciples. 1 Tim 6:2-5. In my sermon, I mainly focus on Paul’s advice to Timothy, the Christians in Ephesus, and us today, to GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT TEACH TEACHINGS that go against the teachings of Jesus Christ, Paul, and the Bible’s doctrine of Godliness. Why would Paul write this in his letter here? Jesus makes it very clear in the Gospel of John 8:31 that only those who abide in His word are His disciples. Breaking this down; a disciple is simply a follower, abiding is living in or by, and His Word is His written teachings that we have in the Bible today. So Jesus says that only those that live in and by His Word or the teachings in our Bibles today, ARE His FOLLOWERS. And the Bible says only followers of Jesus Christ are saved and going to Heaven when they die. And so, if the opposite is true, this statement of Jesus means that people that don’t abide, or live in or by His teachings, are not His disciples, or His followers, and are not going to go to Heaven when they die. Paul writes this in this epistle because he knows that any that follow false teachings won’t be saved. Whose teachings do you abide in or follow today? I expose many of the false teachings of today that go against the teachings of Jesus Christ, Paul and the Bible, in this sermon titled “If You Abide In My Word You Are My Disciples”. May God richly bless you as you seek Him Pastor Ed
