“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,”
Hebrews 6:1 KJV
It’s time for believers to mature and bear the fruit that God wills. “Now is the time for us to progress beyond the basic message of Christ and advance into perfection. The foundation has already been laid for us to build upon: turning away from our dead works to embrace faith in God”. As difficult as it may seem, let’s separate ourselves from our immaturity. The dead works are our useless deeds, attempts to please God through religion, keeping religious laws and traditions, and serving others to gain influence with God. The basic doctrines of Christ were to carry us like a vessel over our stormy past to the completeness of the fulfilled promise. Let’s take a mind shift from attempts to impress God by our behaviour, to the realising of the faithfulness of God. There is no life left in the old system, it is dead and gone, let’s move on! There is only one “work” that brings life to all, that was the work of Christ on the Cross. Amen!
