The Pattern Exits

2 Tim. 1:13 “Retain the standard (Pattern,

Form) of sound words which you have heard

from me, in the faith and love which are in

Christ Jesus.”

Heb. 8:5 “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all

things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH

WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.” (Ex.

25:40)

1 Pet. 4:11 “Whoever speaks, let him speak,

as it were, the utterances of God”

Col. 3:17 “And whatever you do in word or

deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus”

The Pattern Is Vitally Important

1 Jn. 2:3-6 “…if we keep His

commandments”

1 Tim. 4:13-16 “…give attention

to the public reading of Scripture…

your teaching…insure salvation

both for yourself and for those who

hear you.”

Christ And The Apostles Establish The Pattern

Eph. 2:20 “built upon the foundation of the apostles

and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner

stone”

Christ Is The Source of Authority

Jn. 5:26,27; Matt. 28:18

Christ Exercises Authority Through The Apostles

Jn. 20:22,23; Matt. 28:19,20

He Has Given Us All We Need

2 Pet. 1:3,4; 2 Tim. 3:16,17

These Instructions Are Revealed In The Word

Ps. 119:160; Deut. 29:29

Dire Peril Goes With Changing The Pattern

2 Jn. 9-11 “Anyone who goes too far and

does not abide in the teaching of Christ,

does not have God; the one who abides in

the teaching, he has both the Father and

the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and does not

bring this teaching, do not receive him into

your house, and do not give him a greeting;

11 for the one who gives him a greeting

participates in his evil deeds.”

Dire PerilS Of Changing The Pattern

Gen. 4 Cain not accepted offering “not by faith”

Num. 16 Korah destroyed trying to change the leadership

1 Sam. 13 Saul rejected for offering sacrifice himself

2 Sam. 6 Uzzah reached up to holy ark

2 Chron. 26 Uzziah approached the altar to sacrifice

Who would have thought that such things are that important?

Isa. 55:8,9 “My ways are not your ways, My thoughts are not your thoughts”
