Colossians 1:28

28 Whom [hos] we [hemeis] preach, [kataggello] warning [noutheteo] every [pas] man, [anthropos] and [kai] teaching [didasko] every [pas] man [anthropos] in [en] all [pas] wisdom; [sophia] that [hina] we may present [paristemi] every [pas] man [anthropos] perfect [teleios] in [en] Christ [Christos] Jesus: [Iesous] KJV-Interlinear

28 And we proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ. NASB

And therefore, Christ, the living person, the living word, are taught from two perspectives.

First from warnings, and second from instruction.

From warnings, look at the miseries of this world.There are some places in the world where life is unbelievably miserable. People, cultures, beliefs are anti-God, anti-Christ, and their predicament is the result. The Lake of Fire is far, far worse, but rejecting Christ is the absolutely worst possible thing that anyone can do.

Also, for those who have believed in Christ, then look at the night sky, at satellite photographs of the universe.Your blessings are more vast than our universe. By rejecting doctrine, by remaining indifferent toward your spiritual responsibilities toward self, toward the teaching of doctrine, toward others, you can easily lose those vast blessings, even though you will still be in heaven.

However, by pursuing Bible doctrine, and advancing in your spiritual life, being obedient to Gods mandates, then your blessings will exceed your wildest dreams.

The warnings are clear.Even the fool can understand what is at stake.Excuses do not exist.

Commitment to this world gains you nothing of value.Commitment to doctrine gains you wealth and blessings of intrinsic and infinite value.

Instruction builds spiritual growth, faith, and transforms your entire life.

To whom God gives much (blessings and the infinite promises of greater blessings), He therefore expects much (dedication of your daily studies, dedication to your commitment to His mandates, dedication to supporting the promotion and instruction of doctrine to others, dedication to the transformation of your life to the one designed for you by God, leaving the old ways [sin nature, greed, lusts, etc.] behind).

Your objective in this life, is to become complete in Christ. Complete, is advancing to spiritual maturity (responsibly, mentally, morally, spiritually).

Now is the time to post a prayer.
