How Do I Know I Am Believing And Worshiping The True And Living Elohim Pt1
El is a Spirit: and we that worship Him worship Him in Spirit and in truth. There are seven fundamental doctrines of the Messianic faith that the ignorance of any would be questionable and contradictory to the obedience of the revealed will of the Father in respect of progressive revelation and right division. The Scripture is the final authority in all faith and practices because of the doctrines that come from it. Our faith dispensationally has an object according to the Scrpture: if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is the Messiah not risen: and if the Messiah be not risen, THEN IS OUR PREACHING VAIN, AND OUR FAITH IS ALSO VAIN. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of ELOHIM; because we have testified of El that He raised up the Messiah: Whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not Roms.4:24,25.
For if the dead rise not, then is not the Messiah raised: And if the Messiah be not raised, our faith is vain; we are yet in our sins. From the content of the text, we can deduce that the death of the Messiah was as the result of the wages of our sins Roms.5:21, 6:23; 1Cor.15:1-4. The object of our faith is the gospel of the Grace of our Master and Savior Yahshua the Messiah for therein is the righteousness of ELOHIM revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH Roms.1:16,17, 4:24,25; and it is found in no other book but the Sacred Scripture. Therefore, Apostle Paul beseeched us to mark them, which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine that we have learned and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Master Yahshua the Messiah, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; BUT AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, HAVING ITCHING EARS;
AND THEY SHALL TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, AND SHALL BE TURNED UNTO FABLES. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and make full proof of thy ministry. He would have us wise unto that which is good and simple concerning evil.
Paul, as the prisoner of the Master, beseeched us to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavoring to keep the UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE. THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, EVEN AS WE ARE CALLED IN ONE HOPE OF OUR CALLING;
ONE MASTER, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM,
ONE ELOHIM AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS ABOVE ALL, AND THROUGH ALL, AND IN US ALL. Our definitions of these seven fundamental doctrines of our faith must always be one in agreement as our foundation in the Sacred Scripture.
1) One Body. By one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is the Messiah. But now hath ELOHIM set the members every one of us in the body, as it hath pleased Him. We are many members, yet but one body. Now, are we the body of the Messiah and members in particular. Speaking the truth in love may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even the Messiah:
From Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
2) One Spirit: He that is joined with the Messiah is one Spirit, a member of His body, and of His flesh. If the Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. We are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of ELOHIM dwell in us. Now, if any man has not the Spirit of the Messiah, he is none of His. In Whom we also trusted, after that we heard the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation 1Cor.15:1-4: in Whom also after that we believed, we were sealed with that holy Spirit of PROMISE which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory Roms.5:3-5. Now He which stablisheth us with you in the Messiah, and hath anointed us, is ELOHIM; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts Roms.5:1-5, 8:14-16.
3) In one hope of our calling Eph.1:18: Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in the Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him. To whom El would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is the Messiah in us, the hope of glory. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in the Messiah. Therefore, we are pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of the Father in the Son.
4) One Master: Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My master and my ELOHIM. Yahshua saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that El hath made that same Yahshua, Whom ye (Israel) impaled, both Master and the Messiah. For though there be that are called elohim, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be elohim many, and masters many,) but to us, there is but one Master Yahshua the Messiah, by Whom are all things, and we by Him. Let this mind be in us, which was also in the Messiah Yahshua: Who, being in the form of ELOHIM, thought it not robbery to be equal with ELOHIM:
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore El also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua the Messiah is the Master, to the glory of ELOHIM the Father Is.45:22-24. Shalom. To Be Continued.
