The Interest

A Christian is like unto a man who has inherited a field. He has to continually take the soil to the lab to check its PH and 'nutritional health'; thus he needs to continually Mirror self in the Perfection of the Total Man being Christ to keep a fit Christian walk. He does not grow out of Principle, Doctrine or Instruction or the soil loses its value after repeated use and his heritage eventually diminishes. This teaching purposes to keep a constant reminder that we are as strong as our Doctrine and we are as healthy as our keeping of the Principles. We all in one way or the other need instruction and thus we need a place of service and a ready hand to dish it to us, but we should at first remember the Hebrew saying, that we do not just keep sound doctrine, principles or instruction, it is because the keeping of them carries a better end for us; 'The Interest: Is Worth More Than The Principle' This Hebrew saying is a sure counsel to the wise. That we should not just be keen to keep principles but rather we should understand that every principle carries an Interest to preserve and prosper us. That is we should not just be keeping principles but should rather search out the Interest behind keeping them so that we may rooted and deeply connected to the meaning behind keeping them fully understanding what it means to keep them or fail at keeping them; for they all carry a hidden interest to those who keep them, and the Interest is the most important and worthy thing. So, the light of keeping Principle; we may way yonder particularly cling to the Interest as it is Worth more than the Principle.
