Conclusion My Doctrine Is Not Mine

O that our Doctrine would only be a copy of His Word, for then our Doctrine could never perish!

"Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away" (Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33). The Doctrine that we practice, at minimum, is not lost to us.

"Blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it"

(Luke 11:28). Our goal must never be to enshrine our own opinions and call down the power of the Almighty to secure them, but to honestly mine the riches of His Word for the benefit of all.

"Every scribe which is instructed unto the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old"

(Matthew 13:52). It would be brazen egotism and vanity to suggest that everything we have ever taught is Good Doctrine, but it is our responsibility to make the best possible effort to discover and teach Good Doctrine.

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the Whole Earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him"

(2Chronicles 16:9). In the end, we are not bearing the burden of preserving and propagating Good Doctrine alone, for we have the Shoulders of the Almighty to assist.

"29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light" (Matthew 11:29-30). Keeping our eyes upon Jesus, we can successfully bear the Light Burden of maintaining Good Doctrine for our own benefit, as well as the good of others.

"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the Law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).

Remember, whether or not there ever is a great movement in your lifetime toward the Doctrine you teach, you have at least been benefitted yourself, as well as whoever else has willingly heard you.

"Take heed unto thyself, and unto the Doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee" (1Timothy 4:16).

Lay hold of Him, Who "is called the Word of God" (Revelation 19:13), and Good Doctrine will never be lost!

"Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the Word of the LORD endureth for ever" (1Peter 1:23-25).

Amen, and Amen.
