We know the Philip preached Christ to the Eunuch and
the he believed and obeyed, and having been saved went on
hrs way rejoicing. What does it mean to preach Christ? We
know beyond all doubt that Philip preached the Doctrine of
Christ What then did he preach0 He preached Christ as the
Sav.or ar.d in so doing he preachec the Kingdom or body Eph
4 4. which Christ saves. Also he preached the Name Acts 4:12,
and entrance into that Name by baptism Gal 3’26-27. He
ther. had to tell what Christ does for us, by preaching the
Cross or the Gospel. The Gospel divided has three parts: First,
the Facts—Dea‘.h, burial, and resurrection d Cor 15); Second,
the Commands,—Hear. Believe. Repent, Confess and be Bap-
tisec : and Last, the Promises that God offers ’o all who are
saved. We know these things were preached because the
Euni/h learned and fulfilled these conditions and went on his
v.ay .ejoicing—a saved man

there are man;- ways to heaven, but V.c kflGU’ of a certainty
that such a doctrine is foreign to the Bible. The fact is that
the opposite is the doctrine of Scripture Paul in Acts speaks
several times of the Way—not ways—for there is just one
Way and that s through Jesus Christ, .’no. 14:6 Christ says:
■ I am the way. the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the
Father but by Me.” Hence the doctrine of the church is to
reach Christ and him crucified".
