Some of us are provided by Jesus to be a source of his teachings today, alongside the written New Testament scriptures themselves. You can take these teachings and hold to them, and in this way be a disciple of Jesus who gave these teachings to us.
If we do not have faith in Jesus as saving light, to purge our sins by his teachings, we will suffer him as terrible judge, to purge the blot of our presence in God’s future new world.
There are chief forms of darkest behaviour, like murder, which he can cleanse us from if we hold to his light-giving teachings: Top of these are lies and suppressing of truth.
If we die in these deeds we can expect only future doom. He came to save, but only when we believe in his light and hold to his teachings, belonging to him by being his students.
To save us, he not only died for our sins, but he gives his truth to set us free from their power over us. He saves from both the guilt and the power of our sins.
We must prepare to change, if we believe in him to free us from the tyranny of our darkest deeds. The Father sent him to change us into saintly doers of what is right, freed from the tyranny of what is wrong in us.
Believe and hold to these teachings which are teachings of the Christ who died for you. As his disciple you, as one of his people, have his promise that he will save his people from their sins.
