Another Gospel II: The Word
This in-depth teaching explores the nature of the true gospel versus religious misconceptions, diving deep into the testament, testimony, and inheritance we have in Christ. Carefully examining Scripture and original language studies reveals how Christ serves as both the testator and testament of God’s will, with the Holy Spirit as the executor of our inheritance. This teaching also provides a comprehensive understanding of our position in Christ and the assurance of our inheritance through the New Testament, while clearly distinguishing between the true gospel and religious practices that add conditions to God’s unconditional love.
Key Points:
1. Christ as God’s Complete Expression: Christ perfectly represents God’s nature, making the invisible God visible and tangible to humanity.
Scripture References: Colossians 1:15-20, John 1:1-3
“Christ is the expression of God sent to make an impression in men, that men may become the expression of God on the earth… The substance and evidence of something is the testimony of a thing. Christ is the testimony of God.”
2. The New Testament as God’s Will: The Testament represents God’s legally binding will, executed through Christ’s death and resurrection. Christ serves as both the testator and the testament itself, uniquely positioning Him as God’s complete expression of inheritance to believers.
Scripture References: Hebrews 9:15-18, Ephesians 1:3-6
Hebrew/Greek Context: “Testamentum” (Latin), “Diatheke” (Greek) - meaning covenant and will
“The New Testament is not Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The New Testament starts from acts to revelations because it begins after the shedding of blood.”
3. The Holy Spirit as Executor: The Holy Spirit is the legal executor of God’s will, ensuring believers receive their full inheritance.
Scripture References: John 14:16-18, Romans 8:14-17, John 16:13-15 AMPC
“The Holy Spirit is the executor of the testament in the believer. He has the testimony of the truth.”
4. Religion vs Gospel: Religion represents man’s attempt to reach God through works, while the gospel represents God’s successful attempt to reach man through Christ. True gospel is unconditional and based on Christ’s finished work, while religion adds conditions to God’s love.
Scripture References: Galatians 1:3-12, John 6:28-29
“Wherever there’s a condition, there is religion. Religion is God’s love conditionally expressed.”
5. Our Eternal Inheritance: Believers are both inheritors of God’s promises and God’s inherited possession, sealed by the Holy Spirit as a guarantee.
Scripture References: Ephesians 1:13-14, 18
“You are not just inheriting God; you are an inheritance to God; you are owned and protected by God.”
Declarations:
I am eternally reconciled to the Father
I am a recipient of God’s unconditional love expressed in Christ
I am sealed and protected by the Holy Spirit of promise
I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ
I am complete in Christ, lacking nothing
I am forever secure in God’s eternal testament
I am living in the reality of the New Covenant
I am walking in the freedom Christ purchased
I am led by the Spirit as a son of God
I am eternally accepted in the Beloved
I am a partaker of Christ’s divine nature
I am expressing God’s nature on the earth
I am established in grace, not religion
I am walking in the full inheritance of God’s will
