Peace in Christ.
John wrote these things unto us who believe into the name….that is, the authority…of the Son of God. We who believe into the name/authority of the Son of God has now (present tense) an age-lasting life.
1Jn 5:13 KJV
(13) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have (present tense) eternal (AGE-LASTING) life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
But what do most Christians do?
They see themselves as “wise” and think it prudent to go and submit themselves under man’s authority…going to a man-based church rather than submit to the Lord (Supreme in authority) Jesus Christ who comes in the Father’s name/authority. Christ is the Head and we are complete in Him.
Seeing themselves as “wise,” they let a man exalt himself over them. They let a man bring them into bondage….subjecting themselves unto his church denominational ordinances contained in his church handwritings where they are serving the sin instead of dying to it. The life of Jesus is not found among them. There is no age-lasting life to be had by going to a man-based (man’s authority) church.
2Co 11:19-20 KJV
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
The Lord comes in His Father’s name/authority…..and yet, many receive one who comes in his own authority rather than the Lord’s.
Joh 5:43 KJV
(43) I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
The false prophets say that they come in His name/authority and say that they are preaching the words of Christ and yet deceive MANY. Many receive them.
Mat 24:4-5
(4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
(5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am THE Christ; and shall deceive many.
Many receive those who come in their own name/authority and preach “another jesus” with another spirit and preach another gospel. They “bear well with him.” People reject the authority of the Lord Jesus, but will readily accept imposters...the falsely sent…the “chiefest apostles” (who are supposedly sent in His name/authority) and go to their “churches”.
“Apostle” means “sent.” Yet, these are false “apostles”….falsely sent.
2Co 11:3-5 KJV
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
(5) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
Let no man beguile you of your reward….an age-lasting life. A man’s handwriting of church ordinances/dogmas is not done in His authority but is a product of a puffed up fleshly-minded man.
Col 2:18-23 KJV
(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
A church handwriting of ordinances (statements of faith, church constitutions, by-laws, creeds, etc, etc, etc) are all from fleshly-minded men who do not hold the Head of Christ. They are not of His authority.
Why subject ourselves to a man-based church authority where they are serving their church handwritings….the commandments and doctrines of men?
(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Beware of men who seek to deceive you into going to and submitting to a man-based church 's authority where they serve the transmissions of men....their church handwritings of ordinances...rather than submitting to Christ who is the Head of all principality and power. We are complete in Him. We do not need to submit to man's authority.
Col 2:8-10 KJV
(8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
(10) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Yet, many think themselves as “wise” to do so…a show of wisdom in will worship....to go and humbly and solemnly submit themselves to man’s authority rather than the Father’s. It does nothing to save our mortal flesh in doing so. It neglects the body which should be saved if we submit to the Lord’s authority rather than man’s.
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
They…those who profess themselves as “wise”… go to a man-based church where they are serving their images…their handwritings of ordinances which are patterned like the nations around us. In doing so, they exchange His glory (that we are supposed to shine to this dark world) for an image made like corruptible man. His glory is not being seen among the man-based churches.
Rom 1:22-24 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
And we are unclean just by sitting together with them. We sin against our own mortal bodies by doing so. They defile our mortal flesh. We must come out from among them and be separate. This is our sanctification to come out from among the “dead” so that His glory light should shine through us.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
We are to no longer be partakers with them. What does light have in communion with darkness? We are to “awake” and arise OUT of the dead ones (plural) and Christ shall give us His light.
Eph 5:14 KJV
(14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from (OUT OF) the dead (plural), and Christ shall give thee light.
Then we shall SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom/government of our Father. We shall have His name/authority written upon our foreheads.
Mat 13:41-43 KJV
(41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
(42) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
(43) Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Blessed is he that comes in the name/authority of the Lord
