Something to Ponder

The link above will take you to the entire article. I have listed here one section of the article with the heading: Basic Elements of the Gospel. Hope you are blesse by it, Diana

The gospel of Jesus Christ can be compared with different levels of algebra. Algebra I contains introductory ideas. Algebra II builds upon the foundations established in Algebra I, so that issues like quadratic and differential equations can be studied. Algebra II also sets the stage for the advanced study of calculus, etc. The point is that the gospel is not a “sound bite” or a flippant “one-liner”, it is as wide and deep as the ocean. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

True, you can put a small sample of the ocean in a jar, but the water in the jar is not the ocean! Unfortunately, many Christians have been led to believe that the gospel is a small matter (the jar of water) rather than an infinite matter operating within well-defined principles and laws.

The Apostle Paul became annoyed with the Hebrews because they would not move on to “Algebra II.” He wrote, “In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.” (Hebrews 5:12-6:2)

If Paul were alive today, I wonder what he would say about the current condition of Christians and their understanding of the gospel?
