Hello brethren, I would like to share about what I learnt during the teachings on Day 7 of
Zoom Mass indoctrination ;the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ.
Doing good to all men
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.6.10.KJV
Through the teachings I learnt that we should do good to all men expecially those in the house of faith and as we do good to those in the house of faith, we should also extend our goodness to all people around us.
The good we like others to do unto us is the same good we should do unto them.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:44 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.8.44.KJV
Most people think that when they kill others they are doing God's will but it is not so because the Lord Jesus hates those who kill people.
Anyone who kills becomes a child of the devil.
Primary doctrine of Jesus Christ
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:35-39 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.22.35-39.KJV
The primary doctrine of Jesus Christ is love.
The first one to whom we should devote love is God and the second is to love our neighbours and even our enemies.
How to love our enemies
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:43-45 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.43-45.KJV
Jesus commanded us to love our enemies by
Doing good unto them.
Praying for them.
Feeding them when they are hungry.
Giving to them when they are in need.
When we are able to love our enemies in this manner, we become the children of God.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1ti.2.3-4.KJV
We should remember that it is the will of God for all evil people to change and to be saved. Therefore we should love all men including our enemies and by loving them we will be able to bring them to God.
Thanks be to God.
