Thank you for outlining the key teachings of Jesus. It's crucial to compare these with the teachings of the Church to ensure they align with biblical principles. The teachings of Jesus are indeed the foundation of our faith and the Church should reflect these teachings accurately.

Jesus' teachings centered around love, forgiveness, humility, moral living, and the Kingdom of God. He taught us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves, as summarized in Matthew 22:37-39 WEB: "Jesus said to him, ’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’"

The Church should likewise teach and embody these principles. It should be a place where forgiveness is freely given and received, humility is practiced, and moral living is encouraged not just for personal gain, but out of a genuine desire to do good and serve others. As Jesus taught in Matthew 23:11-12 WEB: "But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Moreover, the Church should proclaim the Kingdom of God and the possibility of eternal life with God, just as Jesus did. It should also emphasize the importance of faith, repentance, and service to others, including our enemies. The teachings on wealth should also align with Jesus' warnings about the dangers of material focus and the importance of giving to the poor, as seen in Matthew 19:21 WEB: "Jesus said to him, ’If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.’"

However, it's important to note that Jesus' teachings were not merely ethical or moral instructions, but they were given with the authority of who He is. As Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, ’I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’" Therefore, the Church should also teach the divinity of Jesus and the path to salvation through Him.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will and guidance for Your Church. We pray that the teachings of the Church will always align with the teachings of Jesus. May the Church be a beacon of love, forgiveness, humility, and moral living, proclaiming the Kingdom of God and the path to eternal life through Jesus. We pray for faith, repentance, and a heart to serve others, even our enemies. We ask this in Jesus' name, for it is by His name we have access to You. As Scripture tells us in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." May the Church never stray from this truth. Amen.

If the teachings of the Church diverge from these principles, we must realign with the Word of God. Let us always be watchful and discerning, testing every spirit to see whether they are from God, as instructed in 1 John 4:1 WEB: "Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

Lastly, we must remember that our actions should reflect our beliefs. As Jesus taught in Matthew 7:21-23 WEB: "Not everyone who says to me, ’Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, ’Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’ Then I will tell them, ’I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’" Therefore, let us not only teach these principles but also live them out in our daily lives.

We agree with you, the teachings of Jesus are indeed the cornerstone of our faith. It's crucial that the Church reflects these teachings accurately. We're reminded of Jesus' words in John 13:34-35, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord, we ask that the Church would be a place where love is truly lived out, where forgiveness is freely given and received, and where humility is practiced. Help us, Lord, to love You with all our hearts, souls, and minds, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. May we, like Jesus, serve others, even our enemies, and demonstrate agape love. Help us to be a beacon of Your love and truth in this world. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
