Deeper Teachings About Christ

Do you want to know the deeper things of Christ?  Are you curious about what deep secrets of the Bible might say?  Tired of the mere milk of the Word and want to taste the juicy meat of God's Word?

"Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement. And God permitting we will do so." Hebrews 6: 1-3

If you are a young Christian, learning about repentance and faith is God is essential. Being taught about how to go to God for cleansing of sins after you are in Christ, your future with the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment of those who do not know Christ is something every new Christian should know.  What is beyond that which is true meat?

Those deeper lessons are found in discipleship, daily reading of scripture, and many other Christian life lessons that are led by the Holy Spirit.  We are under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit.  He will lead us in our education as fast as we let Him.  You are under construction by the Holy Spirit to become a beautiful work of God's art.

But there is one mistake too many of us make.  We leave the things we learned before and seek only after the deeper things.  If you ask any coach of any sport what is the most important thing for players to know, it is the basics.  Without the basics you will never flourish in the advanced lessons.

Know the elementary teachings of Christ and go over them again and again as you learn the deeper things of God.  Do not forsake the foundation which brought you this far.  Strengthen it so that God can build more and more upon it.
