Conforming to Christs Doctrine

The early automotive industry could not function without precise, universal measurements; similarly, the church falters when Christians create personalized doctrines, denominational identities, or selectively follow Jesus’ teachings.

Carl Johansson’s gauge blocks became the global standard because their excellence left the world with no alternative. In the same way, Christ’s doctrine stands as the only valid foundation for His church.

The transformation of Peter and John parallels the meticulous lapping of gauge blocks to make surfaces so smooth that they stick to each other. Likewise, time in the presence of Christ produces believers who reflect His character.

Church leaders have a tendency to pick and choose doctrines, but Jesus established non-negotiable commandments, fulfilled the sacrificial system, and upheld the validity of the Mosaic law and the prophets. He also introduced “attitude laws” which are only capable of being kept through the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit.
