The Apostles of Jesus Christ
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! As Stewards of the truth of the gospel, the apostles have received the dispensation of God. They are the the only representatives of Christ, authorized to preach, teach and certify others to do the same. The apostles are the voice of God in Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ built the church on the apostles. He gave them the keys to the kingdom. He commanded them and sent them forth to preach to us.The church that Christ built on the apostles has twelve foundations. The apostles have the certification that they both heard with their ears and saw with their eyes, the crucified and risen Christ. They looked upon him. Their hands handled him. They handled the Word of life. The life was manifested to them, and they saw it. It is the apostles that are the eye witnesses of the crucified and risen Christ. They were taught and received the commandment to show us eternal life. That eternal life which is with the Father, was manifested to them. They declared to us that which they saw and heard; inorder that we our fellowship will be with them; for truly their fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. They have preached to us the fulness of joy, even Eternal Joy. Thus, to refuse the apostolic gospel is to be cursed and to die in your sins without Christ. To preach or believe any othe doctrine is to be cursed to eternal perdition. For no other foundation can be laid, other than that which Jesus Christ has built in the Holy Apostles; and God will take vengence upon all that preach or believe anything to the contrary. I exhort you to receive the joy of apostles faith; for the joy they have received is eternal. (Isaiah 52:7, Mat 16:16-19;Mar 16:15-20;1Jo 1:1-4; Act 1:1-3;Gal 1:8-12;Eph 2:20-22;2Pe 3:2;Jud 1:17;Rev 18:20; Rev 21:14).
Apostles Given the Dispensation of God
In Greek the word dispensation means:stewardship or the administration of a religious “economy”. It means the management of the household faith. Specifically, the management, oversight,and administration of the body of Christ. They have receive the authority to manage eternal life. They have received the authority to administer eternal life in the body of Christ. The Apostles administer the kingdom of God with the specific doctrinal wisdom of the power of God. The Lord Jesus Christ gave the Apostles the mystery of wisdom. This specific doctrinal wisdom can to be declared only by the Apostles. Even angels from heaven can't preach this doctrine; for God gave it as a special and unique dispensation to the apostles.The apostles doctrine is the doctrine of God. It is the doctrine of godliness( how the eternal spirit of God is made flesh both in Christ and in the apostles teachings). The doctrine of faith (how that the divine confidence of Christ, as reqard his Godhead, Priesthood and Kingship), took root in the apostles and in us through their doctrine. The doctrine of hope ( how that our vile body shall be changed like unto his glorious body.They wre exorted to teach us to observe all things that Christ commanded them. we are exhorted to continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. We are exhorted to be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: We are exhorted to remember the words which were spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are exhorted to refuse those nor give goodspeed to those who preach any other doctrine, lest we be partakers of their sins. 4 1Co_9:17, Eph_1:10, Eph_3:2, Col_1:25 steward, 3. Luk_16:3, Luk_16:8, Tit_1:7. stewardship, 3 Luk_16:2-4 (3).
I have received a dispensation of the apostle's faith. "The gospel of the joy of faith" was taught by Jesus Christ to the apostles, and to all who earnestly contend for " the faith". Tthe apostolic gospel, is the only doctrine in these last days whereby which men can be saved, and escape the wrath of God at the appearance of Jesus Christ. The apostolic gospel makes your life more complete and your rejoicing more abundant.
I will not cease to praying that: " the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Eph 3:14-19). I will not cease praying that: " you be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.
