Good morning everyone. Hope we are all doing well. Am Sis Atuma Hope. I am doing this post to share my lessons;
According to the study, I learned that as we relate with all men, God wants us to be light to them and we can be light to others through our good works- 1 Peter 2:12, Our good works and the true doctrines will serve as light for our fellow men. God gave us the obligation to be light so that people will learn that there is a true God. He(God) can reflect on us and live through us. As we live through the practice of the true doctrines of Christ that we have studied, people will glorify God. God gave us the obligation to do good to all men so the fruit of righteousness can be increased.
The name of God is been blasphemed by unbelievers if we lived not according to the true doctrines we have studied and keep on breaking the laws as in book of Rom. 2: 23-24.
We also learnt that the church should not be in support of or allow evil doers to be part of the members of the church and God has instructed us to put away evil doers from among the congregation as written in the book of 1Corin. 5 : 11 - 13. The church should expel any evil doer who has refused to repeat among them even after having knowledge of the Gospel of God. According to Titus 1:16 after being warned twice and they refused to change,then they should be expelled. The reason God has command the church to put away evil doers( ie those that keeps repeating their evil doings) from other members is that they can corrupt the goods ones(1Corin. 15 : 33 and Titus 3:10).
Once we are able to learn and partice the true doctrines of Christ, God will be delighted and moreover when we are able to win souls through our good works God is more pleased for men will glorify Him, so we need to do good to our fellow men so that their souls can be won and they will repent from their sins. (Luke 15:7, Provb. 11:30, Psalm 16:3). Anyone that wins a soul is wise and when a soul is won, multitude of sins have been avoided that that saved soul would have committed.
We als learnt According to the book of Ecclesiastes 7 :27, for us to see which is the true or right doctrines of God, we should compare one thing to other with what was written in the Bible ,for there are preachers who are workers of the devil enticing men through lasciviousness, so we should not be carried away by what we have been told or what it's be given to us.
Thanks and God bless. Do well to always join us in our study.
