IMPORTANT POINTS GATHERED FROM THE SERVICE.
It was a wonderful time in God's presence as well as a magnificent moment of truth, and I'm grateful to have been a part of brother Eli's teaching today. I must admit that I am fortunate. As they say, the truth is bitter, but it is only the truth we know that can set us free. In some churches today, it doesn't matter what they wear to church; most women wear clothes that expose almost half of their bodies, and no one corrects them because most churches aren't after winning souls for Christ anymore. As God's children, we should stand out from the crowd.
2ND COR 4:16-18-The Bible tells us to be followers of Christ, and that once we become followers, we must do what the leader has told us to do. When we follow Christ, we should be able to mimic his lifestyle and execute his commandments.
MATHEW 7:15 - I learnt today that a man is made up of two parts: the inner and outside man. The outer man is made of flesh, whereas the inner man is made of spirit. The outer man dies, whereas the inner man is renewed on a daily basis. Beware of false prophets, the Bible warns, for they appear to be men on the outside but are monsters on the inside. Some people's physical appearance differs from who they are on the inside.
2ND PETER 2:12-22- As a human and as a man who truly wants to serve God, I've learned that once you've renounced your evil ways, there's no need to go back to them; let's not speak what we don't understand in order to avoid saying things that will destroy us; and we should always allow God to direct us in everything we do or before we speak. Some people appear to be pure on the outside, yet they are beasts on the inside.
I discovered that because of God's love for humanity, he said, "Let us make a man in our image and likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that creepeth the earth." God's love for us has never wavered; despite our transgressions, he still loves us; but, we must repent of our sins and turn entirely to God.
Let the inward man be pure and holy, and let the inward man set a good example. As Christians, we should not be pure on the outside but beastly on the inside.
ROMANS 7:22- I learned that if we love God, we will obey the law, but because some people don't want to hear about God or his doctrine, they don't want to listen to and obey the law of Christ; instead, they want to live their own lives with no one telling them what to do, the Bible says, "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man," and if the inward man is pure and holy, God delights in it, but if it isn't, God does not.
We must delight in God's will and keep the law of God in our hearts; we must not forget the law of Christ because without it, we will always go against God's will in our lives; God's intention is for us to live upright, which is why he has established the law, the commandments, to guide us.
WAYS IN WHICH THE STUDY AFFECT US THAT CAN MAKE US A BETTER PERSON THAT WE CAN USE IN OUR DAILY LIVES.
From the teachings I have listened too I have come to understand that our inner man plays a vital role concerning who we exhibit outwardly. So we just always try to keep our inner man in check and that can only be done through listening to God's word consistently and practicing all that the word of God tells us to do.
