Concerning the teachings of Jesus Christ, there may be many who would be more eager to learn these teachings, eager to even try to live by them, if they were aware of the tremendous outcome that comes to those who do so. This outcome, which awaits those who don’t just pay curious interest in Jesus Christ’s teachings, but go on to learn and follow them, believing who Jesus is, this outcome is nothing less than real fellowship with God, the Father. This is God the Father who sent him and who watches to see who will believe in Jesus, His Son, and follow the teachings. These are teachings given to Jesus Christ by God. Fellowship with God is the outcome, and with Jesus Christ. It is God right there involved with you in the times of doing, and preparing to do, what Jesus taught. That is why God sent Jesus and why Jesus died for you. That is why God raised Jesus, His dear Son, from the dead so Jesus lives forever to mediate between us and God. To stay in fellowship we must keep following, holding to those teachings or the fellowship is lost. Staying in the teachings, we stay in fellowship, and in fellowship with each other too, and with all who follow, as part of a great body of believers, all united with Jesus Christ in this way. It goes on beyond death, to resurrection and eternal life.
