God’s Promise in the Passover: Inheritance of Canaan

In the previous two articles we have studied that we can receive the promises of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the Passover. In this article, we are going to see the ultimate purpose of God giving us the Passover.

What does God want to do for us when we keep the Passover and receive the precious promises of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. To understand the matter, let us first take a look at the Passover of the Old Testament as copy and shadow so that we can know the will of God for us.

Passover and Canaan

God’s Will in the Emancipation of the Israelites

In Exodus, God explains the reason why he gave the freedom from the Egyptian slavery to God’s people.

Exodus 6:6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”

The will of God for them was clear that he wanted to take them to the Land of Promise Canaan and give the land to the Israelites as inheritance. He did not want them to live in Egypt after the freedom.

Journey to Canaan the Promised Land

After keeping the Passover, we can see the Israel people leaving out of Egypt the land of slavery right the next day. They started their journey toward the Land of Promise Canaan.

Exodus 12:31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.” 33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”

The Egyptians got terrified after they experienced the power of God in the last plague the plague of the first-borns and in the Passover that gave the protection to the Israel people from the disaster. And they urged the Israel people to leave the country and to go wherever they wanted. So the Israel people could leave Egypt as free men right next day.

Conquering the Promised Land Canaan

After the freedom and the forty year’s journey in the desert, they could enter the Land of Promise in the end. And they could inherit the land just as God promised them.

Joshua 1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

To fulfill the promise of God the Israel people could conquer the Promised Land. And they could receive the land “flowing with honey and milk” as their inheritance.

True Meaning of Inheritance of Canaan

Slavery of Sin and Death

All these things in the Old Testament were just a copy and shadow for the reality which would be revealed to the true Israelites or God’s people in Jesus Christ. (Colossians 2:16) Then what is the reality God have wanted to teach through the Law of Moses in the Old Testament?

As we have seen in the previous article, all mankind is the people of God in the spiritual sense. (Romans 2:28) They were once angels in heaven. However, because of the sins they committed in heaven, they were cast down to this earth, living in the agony of death.

About the life on this earth, Christ teaches us that we are living as slaves to sin and death.

Freedom Through the Passover

However, God took pity on the people who are suffering the pain of death and listened to their prayer for salvation. To give them freedom from sins and death, God came down to this earth and gave himself as ransom on the cross. He took up our sins in our stead and gave us the forgiveness of sins, the freedom from sins and death through the Passover.

Through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross we could be freed from the slavery of sins and death. First, Christ gave us the forgiveness of sins through the Passover. (Matthew 26:26) And also he gave us the freedom from death or the eternal life through the Passover. (John 6:53)

Spiritual Canaan the Kingdom of Heaven

Then what was God’s will for us in giving the freedom from the slavery of sins and death? Does God want us to live on this earth forever? In the Old Testament the will of God for the Israel people after the emancipation from the slavery was to lead them to the Promised Land, not living in Egypt.

Likewise, God’s will for those who have been set free from the slavery of sin and death is to lead them to the Promised Land or the spiritual Canaan, that is, the Kingdom of Heaven.

Both Apostle Peter and John testifies about the spiritual inheritance God’s people would receive through the redemption work of God. Apostle Peter prophesies about the destruction of the earth we are living in and the creation of new heavens and earth (or the Kingdom of Heaven) where the saved would receive as inheritance.

2 Peter 3:7 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly, ,,,,, 13 But in keeping with his promise we (the saved) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

New Heaven and New Earth

And Apostle John testifies about some characteristics of this new heaven and new earth.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. ….. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

The most important characteristic of the new heaven and new earth is that there is no death there, which means there is only eternal life in the new heaven and the new earth. Since we cannot receive this inheritance with the body of sin and death, God eagerly wanted to give us “the forgiveness of sins” and “eternal life” that we may enter the new heaven and new earth. This is the reality of the Promised Land God wanted to show us through the Law of Moses.

Conclusion

God gave us so many precious promises through the Passover of the new covenant. The message of God in the Passover can be summed up as inheritance of Canaan the Promised Land. Even though we are sinners from heaven, God made the plan for the creation.

Through the creation work of God, the elect will be made into a perfect creation and they will receive the kingdom of heaven as eternal inheritance. All the forefathers of faith made their journey toward heaven through the faith in God. As chosen people of God, people in Zion should follow the Spirit and the Bride, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem to the end.

God’s Promise in the Passover: Eternal Life

Passover and Eternal Life

The Passover of the new covenant contains many promises of God. First, it promises the forgiveness of the sins people committed in heaven as angels as I have shown in the previous article, titled “God’s promise in the Passover: Forgiveness of sins”.

Today, we are going to another important promise of God contained in the Passover, that is, the promise of “eternal life”.

Christ Coming for Eternal Life

According to the bible Christ came down to this earth to free us from the slavery of sin and death and to give us eternal life in heaven. This is the essence of the teachings of God in the bible. Then how does God grant eternal life to his people?

Passover and Freedom from Slavery

The answer can be found in the Old Testament through the work of God’s salvation for the physical Jews in the time of Moses. In those days, God’s people were under the slavery of Egypt going through many hardships and sufferings. They constantly prayed to God for the freedom. And God listened to their prayers and he sent his Prophet Moses to lead his people from the slavery.

Exodus 7:4 4 he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. 5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.

According to these words of God, God sent Egyptians ten plagues and finally the people of Israel could be set free from the slavery. Before the last and greatest plague, that is, the plague of the first-borns, God commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover so that they could be saved from the last disaster. God promised that the blood of the Passover Lamb would be the sign between God and his people so that they would be recognized as people who belonged to God. Through this blood of the Passover Lamb they could be protected from the plague and finally receive the freedom from the slavery.

The Jews: Inward and Outward

The bible teaches that the work of Moses and the Israel people were given as copy and shadow to teach us what is going to be done in the last days for God’s people who are under the spiritual slavery of sin and death.

Hebrews 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.

According to the bible, all the people on earth are the people of God or Israelites in the spiritual sense.

Romans 2:28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.

Spiritual Slavery of Sin and Death

In this sense, all the people are the Jews, that is, God’s people. They once lived in heaven as angels in the presence of God as Job and King Solomon testifies. (Proverbs 8:30) However, because of their sins of rebellion against God in heaven, they were driven out and cast down to this earth which is a spiritual prison. And they are living in this prison as slaves of sin and death.

Jesus teaches us that we all are under the slavery of sin and death through the sins.

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

All Men Are Sinners

The bible teaches us that we all are sinners (Psalms 14:3), and because of the sins the wages of sins—death—came to all men. (Romans 5:12) In short, we are all under the slavery of sin and death.

As Paul says, we all want to do what is righteous but because of the sin living in us we cannot do what we intend to do. All men are living as slaves to sin and destined to go through the agony of death.

Romans 7:21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Freedom From Sin and Death Through the Passover

Then how can we set free from this spiritual slavery of sin and death? The bible shows us the answer through the work and life of Moses and the Israelites. The Israel people who were living as slaves of Egypt could be set free by keeping the Passover.

Likewise, the freedom from the spiritual slavery of sin and death is also in keeping the Passover. As we have already seen in the verse above (John 8:32), Jesus said that we can be set free through “the truth”. Also in another verse Jesus teaches that the Son would set them free. (John 8:36) Therefore, we can conclude that we can be set free from the slavery of sin and death through the truth or the words of God which comes from the Son that is Jesus himself. Then what was teaching of Jesus given to us for the freedom from the sin?

Passover, Truth of Spiritual Freedom

Freedom From Sins Through the Passover

Jesus teaches that we can be set free from the slavery of sins and death through the Passover, the new covenant. On the night of the Passover, while eating the Passover Supper, Jesus sealed the Passover with a promise, that is, the promise of the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Through this promise of Jesus, we can understand that the truth that gives us freedom is the Passover. Through the Passover we can be set free from the slavery of sins through the forgiveness promised in the Passover.

Freedom From Death Through the Passover

Since our sins are cancelled through the Passover, naturally the sentence of death caused by sins would be removed from us too through the Passover. Jesus taught about this freedom from death through the Passover in the Book of John.

John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

Jesus teaches us that we can receive the eternal life or the freedom from death by eating his flesh and blood.. Then what was the way we could eat his flesh and blood? It is through the Passover. The Passover bread signifies his flesh or body and the Passover wine his blood.

Conclusion

Now we can know how to be set free from the slavery of sin and death. It is through the Passover. Through the Promise of God sealed in the Passover, we can receive the forgiveness of sins and be set free from the slavery of sins and death.

In the next article, I would like to talk about another promise of God in the Passover, the inheritance of Canaan, or the Kingdom of Heaven. I hope that everybody realize the blessings contained in the Passover and keep it so that we can receive the promise of God through the Passover.

God’s Promise in the Passover: Forgiveness of Sins

Passover and Forgiveness of Sins

The members of the Church of God or WMSCOG keep the Passover according to the command of Christ. 2000 years ago, Jesus came as the reality of the Passover Lamb and sacrificed himself as lamb so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Through this article I would like to show the meaning of the Passover. What is the Passover? And why should we keep the Passover?

Angels who Committed Sins in Heaven

According to the bible, all human beings living on this earth are spiritually sinners who committed sins in heaven and they were cast down from heaven to this earth. For this reason, this earth can be understood as prison in a spiritual sense where sinners from heaven are sent until the time of the punishment for the sins, that is, death.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The bible reveals that all human beings are destined to die due to the sins they committed in heaven. Then what is the sins that we committed in heaven? How grave were the sins that we are given the sentence of death?

Angels who Rebelled Against God

Through the examples of some biblical figures, God teaches us the sins we committed in heaven. Let us take a look at an example through the bible. In the Book of Ezekiel, we can find a man who once was created as an angel in heaven (guardian cherub). God created him perfect and beautiful in every way. However, the bible also let us know the corruption of this angel and his expulsion from heaven.

The Rebellion of Angels and War in Heaven

Sin of a Guardian Cherub

Ezekiel 28:15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. 16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. 17 Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. 18 By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries.

This is God’s words about the king of Tyre of the time of Ezekiel. Because of his beauty and perfection, he became proud and he came to commit sins. And because of his sin, he was expelled to earth, which is the spiritual prison.

Sin of the King of Babylon

Then what was the sin the angels committed in heaven? We can find the answer for this question through another king in the bible, that is, the King of Babylon.

Isaiah 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” 15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.

Ezekiel tells us about the position of the angels and their beauty in heaven before they were cast down from heaven. Here in the Book of Isaiah, however, we can know the nature of the sins the angels committed. Isaiah explains about the pride of those angels and their rebellion against God in trying to put their thrones above the Throne of God. For this dreadful and hideous crimes, they were thrown to the earth after defeated in heaven.

All Human Beings, Fallen Angels

Through the King of Tyre and Babylon, we can come to understand the sins they committed in heaven when they were angels. However, these are not just their stories, but the stories of all human beings living on this earth. Theirs was illustrated as examples showing the sins of all human being on this earth. Like them, all men were once angels in heaven perfect in beauty and wisdom. Because of their sins, however, they were driven out from heaven to this earth.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

Psalm 14:1 The fool[a] says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Passover, The Way for the Forgiveness

Because of the sins, everyone on this earth is suffering in the agony of death, living as slave of sin and death. However, God has been compassionate to mankind and has shown mercy and pity to them by opening the way for the forgiveness for their sins. The bible teaches us that we can be forgiven of our sins through the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us.

Then what is the blood of Christ that gives us the forgiveness of sins? Many says that we can be saved by believing that Jesus shed his blood on the cross to save us. This is partially true. What actually the bible says is that we have to take part in the blood of Christ for the forgiveness of sins, not just believe.

1 Corinthians 10:16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

Jesus came as the reality of the Passover Lamb and through his blood on the cross he gave us the promise of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Blood of Christ Sealed in the Wine of the Passover

Then what is “the cup” through which we can participate in the blood of Christ? It is the Passover. Through the Passover we can participate in the blood of Christ and receive the forgiveness of sins. Christ came as the reality of the Passover Lamb and shed his blood for our salvation. (1 Corinthian 5:7)

Now let us find out how to participate in the blood of Christ to receive the promise of Christ the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 26:17 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” …….. 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus gave the words of his promise of the forgiveness of sins through the wine of the Passover which represents the blood of sacrifice he shed in our stead.

Conclusion

Even though we committed unforgivable sins against God in heaven, God has been compassionate to us and opened the way to heaven again through the forgiveness of sins promised in the Passover. Therefore, as people of God now is the time for us to show our faith through our deed, that is, by keeping the Passover.

With the mind of obedience let us keep the Passover and receive the forgiveness of sins. God will wipe away all the sins and make us beautiful and perfect again so that we can be a new creation worthy enough to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Soul Exists

Does the Soul Exist?

All throughout the history, human beings have had interests in the existence of the soul and wanted to prove its existence in many different ways. Recently I even read an article which is concerned about people who try to measure the weight of soul. Human beings have tried to answer this question, “Does the soul exist?”

However hard people have tried to prove the existence of soul, still it is a big mystery in the human existence. The bible, however, testifies about the existence of soul even from the beginning and the world of spirits we will go back.

The Creation of Man and the Soul

The bible says the mankind was created with two different materials to live on this earth. That is, they have both body and soul.

Genesis 2:7 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

The dust of ground means body and the breath of life means soul or spirit. For the mankind to live on this earth God used both earthly material, “body” and heavenly material, “soul”. The combination of the body and soul makes a man “living” or alive.

In this sense, a death of a man is the separation of soul from its body. When we say someone died, we are actually meaning that his spirit departed from his body. Therefore, the death we refer to is the death or destruction of body.

When the body gets separated from the soul, the body decomposes and disappears. And the bible teaches this as the first death, the death of the body.

The Existence of Soul After the First Death

Then what happens to soul after the death of the body? The bible teaches that the soul still exists after the death of the body and continues to live on. After the death of body, soul or spirit goes back to the spiritual world where it originally came from.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

The bible says that the spirit or the soul returns to God. It means the soul originally came from God and the world of spirit, and after the death of the body it goes back to the spiritual world. Therefore, we can say that the spirit continues to live on even after the death of the body.

We can confirm this through the testimonies of the bible. First, let us look at the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Jesus’ Teaching about the Existence of the Soul

Matthew 10:28 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Here Jesus clearly teaches that the death of the body and the death of the spirit are separate. And He teaches that the soul exists apart from the body.

Job about the Existence of the Soul

We can see the similar testimony in the Old Testament too. Job testifies about the existence of the soul in the Book of Job.

Job 19:25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

In the footnote of the book is written “apart from” instead of “in my flesh”. In another version, this part is written like this:

Job 19:25 After I leave my body and my skin has been destroyed, I know I will still see God. 27 I will see him with my own eyes. I myself, not someone else, will see God. And I cannot tell you how excited that makes me feel! (ERV)

What is common in both translations is the existence of “I” after the destruction of the body of the speaker. After the destruction of the body, then who is “I” who sees “God”? That is the spirit of the speaker. The spirit still exists and goes on even after the death of the body. And after the separation from the body, the spirit goes back to the spiritual world and will stand in front of God.

The Day of Judgment and the Spirit

In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John testifies about the souls or spirits of the dead standing in front of God for the judgment.

Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

In this John is witnessing “the dead” standing in front of the throne of God. Then who are “the dead” in this book? They are the spirit or the souls of dead people. After the death of their body, the spirit will return to the world of the spirits and they are going to be judged by God. After the judgment, they are thrown into the lake of fire, which is called the second death, the death of the spirit or the soul of the person.

Conclusion

Through all these testimonies of the bible we can confirm the existence of the soul even though we cannot see it. The bible says that it originally came from God and will return to God after the death of the body.

And the spirit or soul of a person will be judged by God according to what they have done on this earth while they are living. Apostle Paul testifies about the resurrection of the soul at the time of the judgment.

Acts 24:15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.

Eternal Life and Eternal Condemnation

And Jesus teaches about the judgment after the resurrection.

John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

The righteous ones will be raised into eternal life and the evil into eternal condemnation. This is what the bible testifies about the existence of the soul of man. Even though we cannot see, the bible testifies that the soul exists. And just as Job said, we will see God with our own eyes at the time of judgment. I hope that we should be proven righteous in the eyes of God at that moment.

We must know that our soul exists and we must seek God for the salvation of our souls. Come to World Mission Society Church of God or WMSCOG to meet God who has come for the second time for our salvation.

New Year Greeting Of Overseas Members of the Church of God

To read the full article, please the visit, “The Korea Times“.

175 overseas members of World Mission Society Church of God from 10 different countries visited Korea are conveying “the message of hope for the prosperity and well-being of the global community”.

It was the year 2000 when the Church of God started to receive overseas visiting members in earnest. Up to the 73rd group, about 1,500 members had been visiting Korea every year. For the members of over 7,000 Churches of God in 175 countries, Korea is the country where God the Father and God the Mother, who are testified in the Bible, have appeared. So their visit to Korea is a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and a great blessing. Although foreigners’ visits to Korea decreased due to the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2015, about 240 members from 23 countries visited Korea and over 2,000 members came to Korea in 2016 alone.
From THE KOREA TIMES news article

They visited many different places around the city of Seoul and they were amazed by the speed Korea achieved for its economic growth. A visiting members said, “”It’s taken quite a long time for the United States to develop into a great power as it is now. However, Korea has achieved rapid growth in a very short period of time. Some parts seem to have developed more than the U.S.”.

And also the overseas visiting members of the Church of God shared “a message of hope for the New Year” being united with the love of Mother.

“I’m deeply moved that our Church members from all over the world with different languages and cultures are united in Mother’s love. If you don’t care about other people and only think of yourself, you miss something important ― love. Among many types of love, a mother’s love is the one that can change people, and those who are changed through it can make the world beautiful,” said Michael Miller from New York, U.S.

The Trinity

In the changing states of water, we can see three different forms: Liquid (Water), Solid (Ice), and Gas (Vapor). Even though they exist in the three different forms according to the temperature, actually they are the same in substance, that is, H2O.

It is the same with the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have worked in three different forms in three different ages. In fact, however, they are the same and one God. Therefore, we can define the basic concept of the trinity like this:

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not different, but one and the same God. A theological term for this is the “Trinity.”
From the video sermon, “The Trinity”

The changing states of water: Water, Ice, and Vapor

God the Father and God the Son

Let us first think about God the Father Jehovah and God the Son Jesus. According to the prophecies of the bible, Jesus was God the Father Jehovah who appeared as man in the flesh. In the Book of Isaiah, God prophesied His appearance as man in the flesh (Isaiah 9:6). And the prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus by coming as son. (Luke 1:31)

Therefore, the disciples of Jesus Christ boldly proclaimed that Jesus was God the Father Jehovah himself. They argued that Jesus was God himself even though he appeared in the form of man. (Philippians 2:5, Romans 9:5) Paul said, “Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen”.

We can confirm this through the creation work. According to the book of Isaiah, God the Creator is God the Father Jehovah. He was the one who created all things. (Isaiah 44:24) However, Paul testifies that it is Jesus God the Son who created all things. (Colossians 1:15) Through this we can understand that God the Father Jehovah and God the Son Jesus are actually one and same just as water and ice are one and same.

God the Father and God the Holy Spirit

Who knows all the secrets and deep things of man hidden deep down in the heart? It is only the man himself. No one else knows the hidden secrets of the man just like the saying, “We can search the water as deep as 10 meters, but we cannot fathom the heart of man even though it is only 10 inch deep”. The one who can search the deep things of a man is the man himself and his spirit. In the same way, the bible says the Spirit of God search even the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit (or the Holy Spirit) searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God (or the Holy Spirit).

Therefore, we can say that God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are the same as the water and vapor are the same.

God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

Finally, let us think about God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. To understand this, first let us study about a Greek word, “parakletos or παράκλητος”. “Parakletos” is usually translated as “Counselor” or “Advocate” in the bible.

Dictionary defines “parakletos” like this:

summoned, called to one’s side, esp. called to one’s aid; one who pleads another’s cause before a judge, a pleader, counsel for defense, legal assistant, an advocate
one who pleads another’s cause with one, an intercessor; of Christ in his exaltation at God’s right hand, pleading with God the Father for the pardon of our sins
The NAS New Testament Greek Lexicon

In this sense, a parakletos is the one who was called or summoned to plead and intercede for us. And through the intercession of the parakletos, our sins can be pardoned by God.

Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the One and Same God

Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ as Parakletos

And the bible says we have two entities who can work as parakletos for our sins, that is, God the Son Jesus and God the Holy Spirit. (1 John 2:1, John 14:26) In the epistle, John testifies that God the Son Jesus is the Advocate or Parakletos who plead for us in our stead to God so that we can be forgiven of our sins. However, in the Gospel of John, Jesus prophesies that the Holy Spirit would come as Counselor or “Parakletos”.

Then do we have two different Counselors or Parakletos? No, it cannot be. According to the bible, the only Counselor who intercedes for our sins is Jesus Christ himself. (Romans 8:34)

Hebrews 7:23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

Through this we can understand the Holy Spirit who would appear to us as Parakletos is God the Son Jesus who would come again for the second time as Parakletos. Therefore, we can say that God the Son Jesus and God the Holy Spirit are one and same according to the prophecies of the bible as in vapor and ice in the changing states of water.

Conclusion

Through all these things we can clearly see the true meaning of the Trinity. Water can exist in three different states according to the temperature without any change in its essential substance. Likewise, God works in different forms, names, and places to complete the 6000 years of the salvation work. Once he worked as Father Jehovah sending his prophets to his people. 2000 years ago, God himself came as prophet, king, and high priest for the salvation of his people in the name of Jesus.

Now in our time, to fulfill the prophecies of the bible, God himself came again in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong to complete the 6000 years of the salvation work. Even though he appeared as man in the flesh from the east in the land of Korea, we have to understand that he is none other than God himself who is testified in the bible.

Interpretation of the Bible: How or Who?

If we look around us today, there are so many different churches and different doctrines. Each church interprets the bible in their own way and those interpretations are different from church to church. What is worse is that each member-even in the same church-has a different understanding of the bible according to their own interpretation.

Christ said that we have to know the truth to be saved. However, today the concept of the truth is decentralized and deconstructed and people acts as if they were happy with many different understandings of the bible. Even people in the academic world encourage the environment of the diversities in understanding and interpretation.

Once Jeremiah lamented of idolatries of the Israelites each of whom followed different idols according to their own understanding of God and the bible.

Jeremiah 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.

This can be said to our situation too where each person and each church and each community have their own interpretation of the bible and each of them have their own God and Christ according to their understanding of the bible. In the realm of humanities as scholastic field, this might be recommendable and it cannot cause that serious problems. However, this can cause a lot of confusion and hinder the understanding of the truth the bible wants to show us.

The Essence of the Bible

The most essential teaching of the bible is that there is the God in the spiritual world and God wants to teach us the truth that can give us salvation. The concept of the truth is most important in reading the bible.

John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Jesus Christ teaches us that the Truth can set us free from sin and death. Therefore, in reading the bible, what we have to care about most is “finding the truth”. Then, among so many interpretations of the bible, how can we find the truth?

Not How, But Who

To find the truth what we have to remember is the way we can find the truth. Many people think that they can know the truth if they know how to interpret the bible. For this reason, they have tried to find the right way to interpret the bible. Some people used a logical way of thinking to interpret the bible. Some people used an allegorical method, or story-telling, historical fact, numerical analysis, etc.

With these methods, they could produce plausible interpretations of what they read, which seems to make sense in certain aspects. But none of them could find “the voice of the seven thunders,” or the perfect words of God (the truth). Each interpretation had its own limits in so much as that they had their own merits.

Then why could they not find the truth? Were they lacking in wisdom, knowledge, acuity in thinking, or logical power? All these things might have had some impact in the failure of finding the truth. But what is more important is the more fundamental matter in the interpretation of the bible. That is, the correct interpretation of the bible does not depend on the methods of the interpretation, but the person who interprets the bible.

Interpretation of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

God said, “Do not eat”, and the Serpent said, “You can eat.” Then how can we know the truth in this situation?

Let me give you one example. In the Garden of Eden, there was a tree, called “The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. For this tree, two different interpretations were given to Adam and Eve. One was the truth that could give them life, but the other was falsehood which could mislead them and destroy them. The one interpretation was given like this:

Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

And the other interpretation of the tree was written in this way:

Genesis 3:4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The Bible Truth Lies in the Interpreter

The first interpretation of the tree was from God who planted the tree in the garden and his message was very clear and simple. However, the second interpretation was from the serpent or Satan. And the interpretation is completely opposite of the first interpretation with more rhetorical aspects in it to make his message more plausible. And since the second interpretation was more “pleasing” to the ear and seems to be more “desirable”, they followed the second interpretation only to be destined to die.

Then what made the first interpretation true and the second one false? It did not depend on the manner and figures of the speech; nor did it in knowledge, wisdom, logical acuity, etc. The truth lay on the person who made the comment. The comment of God was the truth and the comment of the serpent was false. Therefore, in finding the truth what we have to do is to find the right person who has the authority to interpret the bible.

Sealing of the Bible

The bible prophesies that the words of God in the bible would be sealed up and there would be no one who can interpret the bible.

Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

According to the first verse above, the bible says that the book of God would be sealed with seven seals. “Seven” in the bible means “perfection” or “completion”. In this sense, we can know the bible is completely sealed up in the last days. The truth Jesus taught in his first coming came to be hidden and sealed completely and no one would be able to know the meaning of the bible. The bible says no one—angels above, men on the earth—can understand the bible and no one can give true interpretation of the bible. No human being with his knowledge or wisdom can open the bible; nor can they see the message in it.

The Root of David

Since this is what would happen in the last days, it is natural to say that we cannot interpret the bible through our wisdom or knowledge. If then, how come there are so many people who says that they can interpret the bible? According to the bible, however, there is one who can open the seals of the bible and see what is written in the bible: the Root of David. Therefore, to find the truth in the last days, we have to know who the Root of David is and meet him to receive his teaching.

Except for the interpretation of the Root of David, all other interpretations—however they might look logical, sensible, plausible—are just false ones which have nothing to do with the truth. As I said before, the manner of interpretation does not matter. What matters is the one who has authority to interpret the bible, in this case, the Root of David. Without knowing and receiving the Root of David, we would never be able to find the truth.

Conclusion

Today, there are so many people who interpret the bible with knowledge and wisdom. They put their whole life to seek the truth in the bible. What they don’t realize is that they are following the wrong direction out of ignorance and misunderstanding of the prophecies of the bible. The only way to know the truth in the bible is through the Root of David who would appear as legitimate interpreter of the bible in the last days. Therefore, the question we should ask to find the truth is “Who is the Root of the David?” It is not “How should we interpret the bible?” Then who is the Root of David?

Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

According to the bible, the Root of David is the second coming Christ who would come in the last days. It means Christ himself is the only one who has authority to open the seals and give the correct interpretation of the bible. When someone says that he can interpret the bible, we should ask him first, “Are you the Root of David?” And we have to have spiritual eyes to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

Christ Ahnsahnghong the Root of David

Christ Ahnsahnghong came as the Root of David and opened the seven seals of the bible. To find more about the prophecies of the Root of David, please visit the links below. And you will come to understand that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Root of David the bible testifies about.

I hope you would meet the Root of David and find the truth that gives life for your soul.

2019 NEW YEAR GREETING

God bless you, Brothers and Sisters. Do you what FBE is? It means “Fantastic, Beautiful, Elegance,” which Heavenly Mother describes her children with. Even though we are nothing and the least in the world, we are everything to Father and Mother. Now let us live the life of “Fantastic, Beautiful, and Elegance” to please Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. The Lunar New Year will start soon in Korea. And I would like to say my greeting to everyone in the world who are called in the name of Elohists, “God bless you and Happy New Year!!”

Four Worthies or Four Gentlemen

Apricot

In Korea, the gentlemen in the old days loved four plants for its particular characters. The first one is an apricot flower. An apricot opens its blossom in February, which is still in the middle of winter. People thought the apricot flower shows the quality of endurance we should follow. Just like an apricot which gives out its blossoms in the middle of cold winter, we must overcome all the difficulities and hardships and give out the beautiful fragrance in the middle of all the adversities of life.

Orchid

The second one is an orchid, which represents “noble elegance”. The orchid lives and blooms in a deep mountain far away from the world. In the same way, the gentlemen of the past thought a noble man must separate himself from the world and worldly desires. Instead, he must give out beautiful fragrance like an orchid by acting and speaking like an noble man showing the good qualities and nature in him.

Chrysanthemum

And the third plant is a chrysanthemum, which has a similar character like an apricot. A chrysanthemum blossoms in the late autumn when there is a frost in the early morning. When all other flowers withered, a chrysanthemum alone gives out its blossoms and fragrances. And a chrysanthemum flower has so many petals that the center of its flower is seldom revealed even when it is fully blossomed. People interpreted this as one of the important qualities of a noble man. Like a chrysanthemum, a noble man must not reveal his deep thought easily to others. Rather, he should be restrained and reserved.

Bamboo

The last plant is the bamboo. A bamboo is ever-green, which represents the unchanging and lasting character of a noble man. In those days, a noble must serve just one lord in his life time by showing his immutable loyalty to a king just like a bamboo. And also a bamboo grows straight up to the sky without bending or giving out branches to many different directions. This also shows the honorable and righteous qualities of a noble man. A noble man must not yield easily to the force coming from outside. Rather he should have a loyal and faithful mind toward one king that he serves. In the same way, we must be faithful to our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Conclusion

These four plants were called “the Four Worthies” becasue each of them has a unique noble character. In the same way, I think Heavenly Mother wants us to live like this as noble sons and daughters of God. Mother said we can do everything we want to only if we are changed spiritually to be the children of God. In the greeting for the year, Mother said that we must be changed and transformed. Let us be changed and let us live a life of “Fantastic, Beautiful, Elegance” just as Mother told us. God bless you.

Arise and shine 2018

The Church of God Holding ‘Arise and Shine 2018’ An International Bible Seminar

Kyunggi Daily 2018.11.01.

http://www.1gan.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=167217

Scholars of all the walks of life from all over the world visited Korea and they participated in a seminar in proving the presence of God the Mother in the aspects of science, technology, medical science, and art/culture. This was a seminar named “Arise and Shine 2018” held by World Mission Society Church of God (General Pastor Joo Cheol Kim) in Panghyo Jerusalem Temple in Bundang.

Seven keynote speakers from the U.S., Spain, Peru, Philippines, Mexico, and South Africa proved God the Mother through various academic fields. In this venue, 140 people from 25 countries who came to visit Korea along with these speakers and 2500 people from Korea including church members and people from all the fields of life joined the seminar.

Proving the Existence of God the Mother through Various Academic Fields

To open the event Pastor Joo Cheol Kim explained that this seminar was “intended that human beings should know God and receive salvation” and he told that life with a goal is important and the most important goal of life is to gain the kingdom of heaven which is the most blessed goal of our life. Also he wished that we have a beautiful change in the life by getting rid of the routine of time imposed to us in this laborious life.

The topic of this seminar was to prove the existence of God the Mother in the various fields of academic studies. Until now most of the Christians knew God as only God the Father. However, Genesis in the bible records God in the plural form ‘US’, not in the singular form. When He created mankind, God said, “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness”. And God created man as male and female. Also, in Revelation 22:17, the last chapter of the bible shows that God who gives the water of life is “the Spirit and the Bride”. And the bible testifies about God the Father and God the Mother, saying, “Our Father in heaven,” (Matthew 6:9) and “But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother”. (Galatians 4:26)

Like this to prove the existence of God the Mother through various fields of academic studies was new and fresh not only to the Christians, but also even to the common people.

The Key for the Spiritual Paradigm “God the Mother”

The seminar was composed of three sessions: the Principles of Nature and Paradigm, Science and Medical Science, Culture/Art and Technology. The first speaker of Session 1, Jennifer Grace Peacob (USA), an expert in special education made the presentation in the topic of “God the Mother in All Creation”. She explained, “Amniotic fluid made from the blood of the mother protects the fetus and connect the mother and the fetus and helps the fetus to keep the constant body temperature. Also a mother have a great influence on the baby in developing muscles and teaching the baby the way to breathe through the lung”. By quoting, “God’s eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,” she said, “All the creation in the world is a textbook to make us understand God the Creator. Through this we can know the words of the water of life from God the Mother will give true happiness to mankine”.

The second speaker, Louis Felipe Osorio, the Representative of SBN (Peru) gave a presentation on the topic, “Paradigm and God the Mother”. To prove his argument, he used the case study of Kodak which had dominance over the film camera business for about 100 years. Mr. Osorio ascribed the fall of Kodak to failing to break the paradigm of film”. He argued that the bottom line is to break the old mindset, blaming overconfidence, the lack of vision, and arrogance. He gave examples of refromers who could break the old way of thinking such as Henry Ford of the Ford Company, Steve Jobs the Founder of the Apple Company, J. K. Rowling the Writer of the Harry Potter series. Also he emphasized that Peter, Paul, and John who received Jesus who appeared as man 2000 years ago were the spiritual reformers unlike the Jews of the time. They have one thing in common, that is, that they could create a new value without being trapped in the paradigm of the time. Mr. Osorio argued, “In our time, God the Mother is the key to open a new paradigm and those who receive the key and create the new paradigm are the true reformers”.

The Integrated Circuit of Eternal Life “God the Mother”

Raphael Anonuevo Dimaculangan, An Electronic Engineering Professor in Philippine National University opened the second session with the topic of “The Source of Energy in Universe, Spiritual Perfect Circuit”. What is most necessary for various new scientific products such as cellphones, wireless communications, automobile industry, state-of-the-art military weapon, satellite is ‘integrated circuit’. An integrated circuit, a.k.a microchips is similar to the CPU of computer. Just like a CPU runs the computer hardware which is just a lump of metal, without an integrated circuit, there is no cellphones, wireless communications, car industry, advanced military weapon, satellites. This is the energy source which became the foundation for the modern industrialization.

He said that the spiritual world is the same and there is a spiritual integrated circuit which delivers and utilizes the energy to all creation. He emphasized that God the Mother works in that way, “2000 years ago God came down in the name of Jesus. Likewise, The power for the spiritual life of 7 billion people of the world comes from God the Mother”.

“God the Mother,” the Great Creator of the Salvation of the 7 Billion Mankind

The beginning of Session 3 was made by Fulu Mugovhani, a movie actress from South Africa. She came to realize the importance of the playwright while she has been working in a various movies. She said that the script made by the playwright is the core of a movie which is composed of actors, script, director, camera, lights, etc in her speech, “the Great Playwright”.

“Playwright is spelled, not ‘Write”, but “Wright” in English. Etymologically, ‘Wright’ means ‘Maker’ or ‘Builder’. This means it is the playwright who makes and build the whole movie.” And she continued,” Then who is the playwright who makes a plan for our life, not a movie?” Quoting, “For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything,” Mugovhani pronounced, “The spiritual playwright who design the life of 7 billion from the beginning to the end is God the Mother. God the Mother is the one who knows us who are living as actors.” And she added, “Those who received God the Mother is the protagonists of the script written by God and the ending is the eternal salvation.”

The last presenter was Juan Carlos Marquez, the Coordinator of Red Cross in the city of Queretaro Mexico, who led the speech with the topic of “The Mind of God the Mother I Realized through the Study of My Heart”. He said, “The most perfect woman in the world is a mother”. “A mother protect the baby with her own body and gives life to the child by sacrificing her own life. Likewise, God the Mother bears and gives life to the children through her love and sacrifice, and she raises and protects them. The most perfect being in the birth of life is none other than God the Mother”.

Those who attended the seminar said that it was more reliable to realize God the Mother through the official seminar with various professional topics. Pablo Andres, who is working in the field of A.I. in Chile said that he had more interest in the topic, “A.I. and God the Mother”. Also he said that this seminar was a landmark experience on the road to seek God, who is the way of eternal happiness and heaven for all mankind.

The Words of Eternal Life

Spiritually all the humans living on this earth were once angels in heaven. They committed sins against God in heaven and they were cast down to this earth. They live the life of pain and sufferings, and their final destination is death, the sentence they received for the sin in heaven. However, God has had pity and compassion for us and opened the way of salvation to those who believe in God.

That is why the bible says that the goal of our faith is the salvation of our soul which otherwise is destined to die.

1 Peter 1:8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Salvation of Our Soul, the Eternal Life

Then what is the salvation of our souls? Our souls are in danger of death because of our sins in heaven. Therefore, the true salvation of our souls are the forgiveness for our sins and eternal life, or the life without death. And this is the goal of our faith to receive eternal life from God. This was the very reason Jesus came down to this earth from heaven.

John 3:15 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Therefore, as people who have faith in God, the goal of our faith should be the eternal life God grants to his people. Then how can we receive eternal life from God? Will God give us some medicine that can heal all the diseases? Is there a tree in a garden that gives eternal life to whoever eats from the tree? Or as some believes, is there certain material like elixir of life that gives eternal life?

The Words of God, Eternal Life

According to the bible God’s salvation work is compared to the creation work. In a spiritual sense, therefore, as God’s people we are made into a new creation through the salvation work of God. When we are made into the complete, all the creation work of God will finish and people who has been made into the complete will enter eternal heaven where there is no mourning, crying, or death.

2 Corinthian 5:17 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Then how can we be made into a new creation who can enter the eternal heaven? It is through the words of God. Many people think they can enter into the kingdom of heaven if they live a righteous life on this earth. That is only partly true. As God’s people we should show good examples to the people of the world so that they can also praise God for our good deeds. But strictly speaking, our good deeds has nothing to do with our salvation.

The World of Maggots

Let me give one example. Wherever there is rotten meat, you can find maggots. Let us think about the world of maggots. Even though we cannot see the difference between them, the world of maggots also might be filled with various kinds of maggots like ours. There might a strong maggot. And there might be a wise one, foolish one, or loving one. There might be a maggot which always helps others and takes care of them.

Even though there is a maggot hero that do good things for the maggot society, does it affect us in any way? Even though there might be a wise maggot, does its wisdom affect us? Their good behavior, wisdom, courage, or sacrifice does not affect us in any way. This is true to us spiritually. Even though there might be a wise man, good man, or a man of love and sacrifice, our deeds do not affect the spiritual world in any way. Our good deeds might affect people like us, but not God.

Job 35:6 If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him? 7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand? 8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

We cannot make ourselves righteous through something we do. Rather we can be made righteous through the grace of God who forgives sinners freely.

The Power of the Words of God

Then how can we be made into a new creation? It is through the words of God. The bible teaches us that the words of God are living and have power to make everything come true. (Heb 4:12) We can confirm this through the creation work of God in Genesis. God creates everything through His words. When God said, “Let there be light,” there was light. God created everything through his words. He gave his words and everything was done according to the words of God. For this reason, Apostle John testifies that God is the Word.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Then how would God create us into a new creation and give us eternal life? It is only through the words of God.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:54)

The Words That Gives Eternal Life

We can be made into a perfect creation with eternal life in us through the words of God. 2000 years ago, Jesus who was God himself came as man in the flesh as John said, “The Word (God) became flesh and made his dwelling among us”. And he gave the words of God which gives us eternal life to make us into a new creation.

John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

God’s words are living and active and has power to fulfill everything according to his words. The God came as man in the flesh and gave his words of eternal life by say, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life”. He did not add any other condition for eternal life. He just told us to eat his flesh and drink his blood for the eternal life. This was the words of eternal life of God.

True Faith That Give Us Eternal Life

Then what is the true faith? We can find the true faith which can lead to salvation in the faith of Apostle Peter. Peter had complete faith in Jesus and could be saved. Then what was the faith of Peter and other apostles of Jesus who we should follow as examples? Even though all others deserted Jesus, the apostles remained faithful to Jesus to the end. Then what made it possible for them to remain in Jesus?

John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Even though others deserted Jesus, the twelve remained because they believed in the words of eternal life Jesus was granting them. Their faith should be ours too. Today, some people try to enter heaven through their own righteousness, their sacrifice, their work, wisdom, authority, etc. But Jesus clearly told them to depart from him. (Matthew 7:21)

Obedience to the Words of God

Therefore, the true faith is obedience to the words of God.

1 Samuel 15:22 But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey (the words of God) is better than sacrifice (our deeds or works), and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

God has given us the words of eternal life for our salvation. Now is our time to show if we have faith in God. God is pleased more with our obedience to the words of God than works we can do for our righteousness. The words of God for eternal life is like this, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life”. Let us obey the words of God and keep the Passover.

Then even though we are unworthy, God will forgive our sins and grants eternal life as free gift to us. Christ Ahnsahnghong came and restored the Passover for us so that we can receive eternal life. Now come to Zion, WMSCOG and keep the Passover. Then God will change you into a new creation with his words of eternal life.
