Doctrine 5-7 Review

Doctrine 5 - Justification

Justification(Romans 3:24,5:9,Titus 3:7)

The word justification is a legal term conversant with lawyers and justice systems, saying a man is justified means he is not guilty this is what Christ Jesus achieved on the cross for every believing Christian when He said it is finished he dealt with the issue of condemnation, there is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus had made me free from the law of sin and death  (Romans 8:1,2)

what is Justification ?

Justification means Gods total forgiveness from all sins, recognized as a saint before God by the sacrificial death of Christ on the Cross, this is also an act of Gods Grace, He grants us Justification through faith, it can never be by our works it is purely a gift of God to all who come to him and want to spend their life with him. With no further a do, I will like to speak on why we need Justification or even crave for it, people even in the world won't be happy without been granted Justice, Then how can we imagine a Christian or Christianity at large without Justification, we must also have a strong desire to possess Justification on till we have it because it offers full assurance of salvation and make us to be bold as Christians knowing fully well that all our sins has been forgiven and we have no skeleton in our cupboards, it also clears away every form of doubt that we have been through grace, and the devil will not be able to steal our salvation from us once we have true justification in our heart.

In conclusion, justification is very important and we must have it in our life to continue to grow spiritually. How then can a man be Justified? The bible says therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ by whom also we have access by faith of the son of God and ask him to Justify us, shalom !!!.

Doctrine 6 - Water Baptism

Water Baptism 

{Matthew 28:19,3;13-17.Mark 16:15,16}

I'm going to be talking about water baptism and how we can effectively practice water baptism and at most know what water baptism is. 

what is baptism ?

Baptism can be defined as the immersion of something or someone in a liquid or substance such as water, baptism was gotten from a Greek word Baptizo, Furthermore, what is water baptism this is the total immersion of someone or something in water . but in this case i am focusing on the immersion of someone in water, notice i stated the word "total immersion". Because water baptism must be done by total and full  immersion in water. This also part of one of the most cardinal doctrines in the bible, it is also most times misunderstood and not practiced by various people.

various wrong methods of water baptism 

• baptism by sprinkling 
• baptism by crossing 
• baptism in swimming pools 
• baptism from birth 
• baptism of sinners  

BAPTISM BY SPRINKLING 

This is the method of baptism were by people are baptized by been sprinkled water, This is not scriptural an is not allowed biblically.

BAPTISM BY CROSSING 

I call this baptism by crossing because it is the of using water to make the sign on people who come to be baptized it is also an unscriptural way of baptism . 

BAPTISM IN SWIMMING POOLS

This is scripturally not write because the representation of water baptism is that the water will wash our sins away and that can only happen in a flowing water like a river, also our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized in a flowing water .

BAPTISM FROM BIRTH 

This is practiced in some churches were immediately a child is born or dedicated will or can be baptized this a wrong way of water baptism because only people in who are genuinely born again and also people who are conscious or aware of their surrounding .

BAPTISM OF SINNERS

This is also liken to the baptism above were by people who are not recognized in the kingdom of God are publicizing that they are christian because that is what baptism shows that we are now for Christ and that we were dead and risen with Christ .

People most times take the doctrine of water baptism to the extreme some people say that without been baptized we can make heaven will some people say that water baptism should not be practiced because of all the controversies about how people should practice water baptism 

Although water baptism is very important it should not be idolized by saying that without it people cannot make heaven with out it , it is to fulfill all righteousness as our lord Jesus said .

it should also not be treated with lackadaisical attitude it is also very important in the life of a believer.

In conclusion, we must be saved by his grace and also we should also be baptized since our lord Jesus was Baptized.

Doctrine 7 - THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Lord's Supper .........

What do you understand by the lord's supper well there are so many conspiracy theorems about the lord's supper about the time, how and when it should take place. If you had these questions in your mind, then you are on the right page.

Well ..........😅

I am here to clear your doubts on the right way to practice the Lord's Supper as a matter of fact , We had the Lord's Supper in our Church today , So by the grace of God,  I will be talking by experience , but don't forget that is not the best Teacher the Holy Spirit is ............. , Lets live that for another day alright, let's leave the chatting and  jump right into the topic for today. 

Alright don't forget the topic we are treating is, THE LORD'S SUPPER, so we are going to take a little explanation of the Lord's supper from a DCLM app where I saw a brief explanation of the Lord's Supper, So I quote. 

''God's word teaches: 

That the Lord's supper was instituted by Jesus Christ so that all believers (all members of the family of God) might partake thereof regularly, to shew the Lord's death till he come.''.

Now we take it from here, now you know what the Lord's supper all is about, this was the one of the two things that Jesus mainly told us to keep in remembrance of him. Therefore, it should be followed and be practiced as we are being commanded in God's Word. 

Let's also take note of what the word supper means, according to Merriam Webster dictionary it is " a light meal served late in the evening ". Now let's look at that word '' late in the evening ''. This means that since our Lord Jesus took the meal late in the evening, doesn't that mean we should also practice it late in the evening, that is what it actually means, so I have outlined a point, the lord supper should be taken late in the evening as it is the lord's supper and not the lord's breakfast or lunch, this is what some churches are missing, but now as you are reading this post you will now know how it is done . 

WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥

Not anybody or should I say everybody can take part in the lord's supper, surprised! Yes, it is true, as not to face the consequences of taking the Lord's supper unworthily (1 Corinthians 11:30). But don't be scared of taking the lord's supper if you are a Born-Again Christian, but even if you are not born again there is still hope for you, you can just accept Jesus as your personal lord and Savior just by following these steps.

• Realize that you are a sinner.
• Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior.
• Believe that he came to die for your sins.
• Confess your sins unto him.
• Decide to follow Jesus.
• Ask for grace to live above sin daily.

And after you have followed does steps you will become a Born-Again Christian and you will be fit to take the lord's supper.

You may ask, what is even the Importance of the Lord's supper?????

• Jesus commands us to do it in remembrance of him.
• What will stop a person from partaking from the Lord's supper can also prevent the person from going to heaven (not in all cases though).
• It also makes us to take part in the celebration that Jesus made with his disciples before he left earth. 
• And we can also be renewed and be sanctified through the celebration as the emblems used are representing the body and the blood of Jesus. 

So, the basic outline is ........

• sinners cannot partake in the lord's supper as they can fall sick or even face grave consequences as the celebration is sacred.
• The Lord supper should also take place late in the night.
