The true Preachers of God can be easily
identified by this unique aspect of preaching
the message of God.
42F.1
Are the true Preachers of God recognizable by
what and how they teach?
In John 7:16-18, this is written:
Jesus answered, "My teaching is
not my own. It comes from Him who sent me. If anyone chooses to do
God's will, he will find out whether my teachings comes from God or
whether I speak on my own. He who speaks on his own does so
to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the
one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
(John 7:16-18, NIV)
The same verse in the New Revised Standard Version:
Then Jesus answered them,
"My teaching is not mine but his who sent me. Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.
(NRSV)
The Lord Jesus is an example of a true
Preacher of God.
The true Preachers of God can be recognized by:
42F.2
How can a true Preacher of God teach what comes
from God?
In I Corinthians 2:13, Apostle Paul
explains:
This is what we
speak, not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by
the spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. (NIV)
The same verse in other versions of
the bible:
These are the
things we are saying.
We are not using human ideas of wisdom which man taught us. Instead, we
are using words which the Spirit teaches. We explain Spiritual things
with Spiritual words. (1 Corinthians 2:13, IEB)
When we tell you this, we do not use words of human wisdom. We speak
words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain
spiritual truths. (NLT)
The true Preachers of God teach the words
that comes from God by speaking or preaching not in words which
human wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches.
Simply stated, they only speak and preach the words of God written in
the Bible.
How will they
speak or preach the words written in the Bible?
They explain "Spiritual things with Spiritual words".
How can
Spiritual things be explained by Spiritual words?
They use God's words to explain God's words or verses of the Bible to
explain other verses of the Bible.
Thus, the true Preachers
of God "USE GOD'S WORDS TO INTERPRET GOD'S WORDS".
42F.3
What is the reason why the true Preachers of God
use the verses of the bible to explain spiritual
truths or the Gospel of Christ?
This is what Apostle Peter wrote
in II Peter1:20-21:
"Knowing
this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private
interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man,
but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
(NKJV)
The reason is that
"The scriptures is not for private interpretation". Therefore, it is
only spiritual words (verses of the Bible) that can explain
spiritual truths like the Gospel.
The true Preachers of God do not give their personal opinions or personal
interpretations of the scriptures..
