‘Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.’ – Philippians 3 vs 2
Hello Beloved in the Lord Jesus, this is yet another inspiring topic I share with you, be Blessed in the name of Jesus. AMEN.
Our opening scripture says to us; Beware of dogs, also it says; Beware of the concision. I want us to look into those two statements.
Firstly, when you see an inscription on the gate of a house which says ‘Beware of Dogs’, What does that tell you? What are they warning you of? The Dogs outside or the Dogs inside? Obviously they are warning you of the Dogs inside. Right? Yea. That tells us from that scripture that that warning was given by the Apostle Paul against the Dogs inside the Church, these are so called Believers and not necessarily unbelievers at all. Uhmmm. Now, the second statement pointed out which says ‘Beware of the concision’ will clearly show us what category of Believers he was warning us against as we look at that scripture again from the Bible in Basic English Translation {BBE};
‘Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision’ – {BBE}
You notice the last line there? He said beware of those of the circumcision. Now, who are those of the circumcision? In the days of the Apostles, they were those folks who believed in Jesus totally, yet they held on to the doctrine of works and not faith, they held on to the circumcision after the flesh and not after faith in the Eternal Salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hence the Apostle by the Spirit asked the Church to watch against them.
WHY ARE WE TO BEWARE OF THEM?
These set of folks are still in the churches today all around the world across all entire human race, these are the folks that believe they are approved in the presence of the Lord by their good works, and when one fail at some point, they thus teach that they have broken relationship with God because of their sins and they need to amend that. O what a crap!
Brothers and Sisters, beware of these people and stay clear from them because they always point you to your works and not the cross; beware of them for they always point you to self and not to Grace! – Selah. They are the dogs been talked about, having a tooth of concision to tear into pieces. By yielding to their teachings, you fall away from Grace, even that precious Grace that saved you and will keep you saved (inspite your flaws) until the day of Jesus Christ. – Selah
‘Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.’ – Galatians 5 vs 4 {KJV}
You see that? If they point you to the Law (Which is implemented by works) and not to Grace (Which is Received by Faith and sustained by Faith in that same Saviour Jesus Christ), then they are out to devour your precious soul for which Christ died for! Flee such a fellow and give no heed to his teachings.
God Bless You.
