Brother Eli reminds us that when we study the word of God, it's not just a task, but it comes with a baseline in addition to lifelong commitment.
As it is being referenced in John 8:31, we made efforts that if you continue in my word, then ye are my disciples in it. This is a call that continues to underscore the faith. This is not just a one-time event, but a daily work of learning, applying and growing the truth that God has shown us.
Brother Eli teaching is about how we don't count the hours or moments we spend in the world. Brother Eli in the age of 17, devoted himself to study the word of God and to become a true disciple of Christ with consistency and persistency. Whether it is through initial indoctrination session or the ongoing teaching.
In the scripture of Matthew 28:19-22, we are being called to observe and live the commandments of Christ. So, the baptism is not just about the beginning, but afterwards we must be taught to fully apply the teaching of God amid the challenges you are facing in life. This lifelong career requires pure dedication.
Brother Eli has noted that God is with us more. He continues to remain faithful and steadfast that he must allow God to guide us through the world of turmoil and filled with temptation.
So, let us embrace this journey, seeking, observing and living the word of God with unwavering commitment.
