I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:13-16
It’s amazing to me nowadays when you see all the false teachers that have infiltrated the pulpit. People who have no fear of God, that don’t preach the Word of God, in fact not only do they not preach the truth, but they preach blasphemy against Christ. The pulpit should be one of the most feared places on earth, let’s meditate on what the Apostle Paul says here to Timothy under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
“I give you charge or urge you in the sight of God” this is a command in the presence of God, does anyone understand the seriousness of being a preacher of Christ. You are entering into a covenant under God, in the sight of God and before The Lord Jesus Christ. What is this commitment? “To keep this command without spot or blame” The modern Church would say Paul is being a legalist! Preach the Word of God without corruption! Preach the Word of God without fault or error. Many false teachers twist and corrupt the Word of God today with no conscience.
How long shall we keep preaching the Word of God? As the Apostle Paul says here “until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ” Preach the gospel until the end of the age, until our Lord tells you to stop, keep preaching the Word of God that has been given to you by the Holy Spirit through the prophets and apostles. Churches don’t need self help sermons and social issue sermons, Churches need to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ until the day of His return!
When will Christ return? As the Apostle says “which He (God) will manifest in His own time” as Jesus said “Nobody knows the day or hour” (Matthew 24:36) Instead of spending your time trying to figure out the rapture, spend your time saving souls by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ! The Lord will return when He wants to return, you are His faithful servant, obey the commands of The Lord Jesus Christ
Why should we obey The Lord? Because as the Apostle Paul says “He (Christ) who is the blessed and only Potentate (Sovereign) King of all Kings and the Lord of All Lords” If you are a Christian, Jesus Christ is your Lord (Master) everything is in submission to Jesus Christ, the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords, who is sovereign over ALL things. Every knee will bow and tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord, preach the Word of God, to serve your Lord and King, Amen!
