“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matt. 7:21.
So according to Jesus, people can confess He is the Lord but not really be Christians because they don’t obey His will nor practise His word. Christ not only warned about false Christianity, but also directly predicted it would become commonplace in our times. He told us that some would claim to worship Him, but would teach something quite different. Matt. 15:9. There’s no better way to learn about true Christianity than through the life and teachings of Christ Himself. His life and teachings modelled what true Christianity is and should look like. There are many false portrayals of Jesus Christ in our world today.
Thankfully, the Bible tells us a lot about how He lived His life. Which should become a standard for our living. We have four Gospels, which are four distinct accounts of Christ’s life, written by four different men. Two of those men, Matthew and John, were eyewitnesses who spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours with Jesus Himself. Mark was likely an eyewitness of at least some events, but it seems he and Luke primarily wrote their accounts by interviewing other eyewitnesses. These four accounts provide not only four different perspectives and angles from which to study Christ’s example, but also four reliable witnesses that testify to what He taught and how He lived.
When we study the Gospels, we focus on both His words and His deeds as described by those who were there and saw His example. We’ll strive to put a clear spotlight on the real Jesus Christ to help you discern the difference between Him and the many false depictions of Him that are out there. Paul warned about people preaching “another Jesus.” The best way to discern the difference is to closely study and understand the life of the genuine Jesus Christ from the pages of your Bible. It is my hope and prayer that Christ will be revealed indeed to you and in you as you read this teaching. From henceforth when you study the Bible, you must focus on the ways of Jesus, the teachings of Jesus, the miracles of Jesus and the promises of Jesus. This becomes your standard for living, God bless you.
