The Young People’s Class Doctrine
We find many dear souls today who do not know anything more than the simple gospel. They know that their sins are forgiven and that they are saved, but they never make any real progress in the truth. We rejoice unfeignedly that they are saved, but when we see the confusion of Christendom. and the many “winds of doctrine”. in the religious world today, we feel afresh the great need that those who are young should be “established in the present truth.” 2 Peter 1:1212Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. (2 Peter 1:12).
An ascended Christ has given gifts “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:1212For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (Ephesians 4:12)) and it is through these gifts in the assembly that the lambs of the flock are fed and established.
When Saul of Tars-us was saved, he immediately asked, “Lord, what, wilt Thou have me to do?” This is the normal desire of a new-born child of God and shows a healthy state of soul. When once we find the place and path the Lord has chosen (for He has promised “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them,” Matt. 18:2020For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)) there we will find the Word of God rightly divided and food for the soul. There we can learn the doctrines which will keep us from the thoughts and ideas of men which have intruded so largely into Christendom today. One feels very much that there never was a greater need than there is today of being well established in “the doctrine which is according to godliness.” 1 Tim. 6:33If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; (1 Timothy 6:3).
