Another letter to another Church and what we find is the blessed and sanctifying connection between something that is true of Christ, our Redeemer and Lord, and the doctrine and behavior of the Church. The formula we see coming into focus is this: Christ is ____ and so we must believe _____ and do _____. This principle is reflected in the question, "What do the Scriptures principally teach?" What man is to believe concerning God and what duty God requires of man. Christ, the Sword-bearer comes to us with His mighty Word and He calls to live in light of what He has said and to the church in Pergamum it is this: flee idolatry and sexual immorality, repent or else Christ Himself will bring the sword against you. __________________________________________________________________ This video can be found here: https://youtu.be/fBkCbLd6oyY
