Thus says the Lord: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" --Jeremiah 6:16

 

21 July, 2006   comments: (0) Audio Clips   To Love Christ is To Love Doctrinal Truth There are many modern professing Christians who would be very quick to declare their love for Christ and his Word, yet would also be just as quick to reject any fervent defense of doctrinal truth. They would SAY they love the Word, because they read it everyday, yet they see no need or urgency to passionately defend the truth that the Word of God contains. The problem with that is, if you truly love the scriptures, if you truly realize that they bear Christ's image upon them, you will also love the word of doctrine and the truth found in those very same scriptures. .,.,. Doctrinal truth bears the image of Christ. This 13 minute audio clip (click link below to play) goes on to say: Doctrinal truth bears the image of Christ; it's not something that's open to personal interpretation. It is Christ's truth and wisdom, and we must conform to it, not vise versa. ... Scripture is supposed to judge our hearts, and not the other way around. Yet, there are many Christians today who profess loudly their love to Christ, but who don't feel all that compelled to defend doctrinal truth. Doctrinal truth is minimized in such cases as "non-essential" to vital Christianity, and very often the reason that is given is "unity amongst the brethren". But the heart that burns with true love to Christ will burn with true love for accurate doctrine. Does your understanding of what it means to love Christ fall short? How much do you love God's Word? Based on the Puritan book by Thomas Vincent, and containing quotes from Martin Luther. This short audio clip is from CrossTV's video series The True Christian's Love to The Unseen Christ.
