TEACHING FOR THE CHURCH, THE SAINTS

MOST OF MY TEACHINGS ARE FOR THE CHURCH, THE SAINTS

Romans 1:7 To All That Be In Rome, Beloved Of God, Called To Be Saints: Grace To You And Peace From God Our Father, And The Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:2-3 Unto The Church Of God Which Is At Corinth, To Them That Are Sanctified In Christ Jesus, Called To Be Saints, With All That In Every Place Call Upon The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord, Both Theirs And Ours: Grace Be Unto You, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:1-2 Paul, An Apostle Of Jesus Christ By The Will Of God, And Timothy Our Brother, Unto The Church Of God Which Is At Corinth, With All The Saints Which Are In All Achaia: Grace Be To You And Peace From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ.

These Are Just Three Times In Three Different Books Of The Bible, There Are Many More, That Show Exactly To Who Paul Is Writing To, The Church, The Saints. He Is Writing To Help The Church Grow Spiritually, To Strengthen Their Faith In Christ Jesus. 

These Holy Letters From Paul Are To Teach All Christians What He Had Learned From The Lord Himself, No Other Person Taught Paul, Just The Lord, Audibly And Through The Holy Spirit. Paul Had His Critics Though And Most Of Them Were Jews. Paul Taught Grace Through Faith.  Some Men From Peter And James Came And Told Paul And His Congregation That Paul Was Preaching In Error, Now These Men Were From Jerusalem, They Were The Ones That Peter And James Taught About Jesus Christ. These Men Told The Congregation Of Paul That They Had To Keep The Law And Believe In Jesus Christ. So Paul Went With These Men Back To Jerusalem To Talk To Peter And James. After All, Was Said, Paul Was Correct. The Reason For Such A Contradiction Was That Some Were Still Bound By The Law, And Paul Knew Grace, Freedom From The Law.

Here Are Just A Few Scriptures That Prove My Point. 

Romans 8:2-4 For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

Romans 7:1-6 Know Ye Not, Brethren, (For I Speak To Them That Know The Law,) How That The Law Hath Dominion Over A Man As Long As He Liveth? For The Woman Which Hath An Husband Is Bound By The Law To Her Husband So Long As He Liveth; But If The Husband Be Dead, She Is Loosed From The Law Of Her Husband. So Then If, While Her Husband Liveth, She Be Married To Another Man, She Shall Be Called An Adulteress: But If Her Husband Be Dead, She Is Free From That Law; So That She Is No Adulteress, Though She Be Married To Another Man.  Wherefore, My Brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God. For When We Were In The Flesh, The Motions Of Sins, Which Were By The Law, Did Work In Our Members To Bring Forth Fruit Unto Death. But Now We Are Delivered From The Law, That Being Dead Wherein We Were Held; That We Should Serve In Newness Of Spirit, And Not In The Oldness Of The Letter.

Romans 6:14 For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Galatians 3:23-25 But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster.

Look How James Opened His Letter And Who It Was Too, 

James 1:1 James, A Servant Of God And Of The Lord Jesus Christ, To The Twelve Tribes Which Are Scattered Abroad, Greeting.

These Are The Twelve Tribes Of Israel, Jews. 

Peter Opened His Letters As Paul Did.

1 Peter 1:1-2 Peter, An Apostle Of Jesus Christ, To The Strangers Scattered Throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, And Bithynia, Elect According To The Foreknowledge Of God The Father, Through Sanctification Of The Spirit, Unto Obedience And Sprinkling Of The Blood Of Jesus Christ: Grace Unto You, And Peace, Be Multiplied.

2 Peter 1:1-2 Simon Peter, A Servant And An Apostle Of Jesus Christ, To Them That Have Obtained Like Precious Faith With Us Through The Righteousness Of God And Our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord,

PRAY, READ, STUDY, THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF, AND MAY GRACE AND PEACE BE MULTIPLIED UNTO YOU THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!!!
