How can we become the children of God? Just because we believe in God, can we be the children of God? Jesus gave answer to this question by say, “Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven.” This means we cannot be the children of God who can become the heir of God only through the faith. Then how can we become the children of God?
Galatians 4:6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
In this verse, God teaches that we can be children of God when we have the Spirit of God in us.
Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
In Romans, Paul also preaches that we can be the children of God when we are led by the Spirit of God in us. Through the verses we can see that we must have the Spirit of God in us to be the children of God. Then how can we have the Spirit of God in us?
John 6:63 The Spirit is the one who gives life and the flesh doesn’t help at all. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life.
God teaches us that the words of God is the Spirit. Therefore, when we have the Words of God in us, we can have the Spirit of God in us and we can become the Children of God who can call God, Abba, Father.
Since the Spirit is the words of God that give us life, we should find the words and keep them. Then we can be the children of God, who can inherit the kingdom of heaven as heirs of God. Then what are the words of God that give us life? On the night of the Passover, Jesus gave us the words of life that lead us to eternal life.
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. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
Here Jesus gave the words of life by saying that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. When we eat and drink his flesh and blood, Jesus in spirit will be in us, which means he would put the Spirit of God in us. Then how can we eat his flesh and drink his blood. It is through the Passover. The bread of the Passover signifies the flesh or body of Jesus; the wine of the Passover, the blood of Jesus. (Matthew 26:26)
When we keep the Passover, we can have the words of life of God (or the Spirit of God) in us. Through the Spirit of God in us we can be called the children of God. Thus, the Passover is the way we can be the children of God. Let us keep the Passover and be the children of God who can inherit the kingdom of heaven as heirs of God.
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Today there are many churches claiming that they have received the Holy Spirit. To prove their argument, they perform miracles and wonders of healing people just like Jesus 2000 years ago. At this point, what we should think about is the authenticity of healing power as the sign of the Holy Spirit.
Can we believe that healing is the sign of the Holy Spirit? Jesus said about the healing too:
Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
Jesus said that even the false messiahs and prophets will perform the signs and wonders too. But their purpose is to deceive people into destruction, not to lead them to salvation. Then can we say that these false messiah and prophets who mislead people are filled with the Holy Spirit and they can do these amazing things through the power of the Holy Spirit? Definitely not.
At least their power is not coming from God, but from Devil. That is why Christ called them “the sons of Devil”. Therefore, we cannot know the true church through the wonders and miracles. Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit and how can we receive the Holy Spirit?
The Baptism of Christ: Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the time of Baptism. Then how about us? How can we receive the Holy Spirit and what is the sign of the Holy Spirit in us?
The True Sign of the Holy Spirit
What is the Holy Spirit?
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit? To find out this first we have to know the reason God gives us the Holy Spirit? Jesus said that we must be born again through water and the Spirit (or the Holy Spirit). It means God gives us the Holy Spirit for our salvation, not for wonders and miracles.
Ezekiel 37:14 I will put my Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land.
The primary purpose of God’s giving the Holy Spirit to people is to give them life and salvation. The main purpose of the Holy Spirit is not in performing wonders and miracles. God gives the Spirit for our salvation. Therefore, to receive salvation, we must have the Spirit of God inside us. Then how can we receive the Holy Spirit?
This is probably the most important questions we must ask as believers of God who want to receive the salvation from God. Then what should we do to receive the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit, the Words of God
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–The bible says that the Holy Spirit works through the words of God.
John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they (God’s words) are the Spirit and life.
God is teaching us that the words of God are the Spirit or the Holy Spirit. Therefore, those who want to receive the Holy Spirit must know the true words of God and receive those words of God. In that way, the Spirit of God will work in us through the Holy Spirit. We can confirm this through another teaching of Christ.
Christ teaches that we can be set free from the slavery of sin and death, and receive the salvation of eternal life through the truth.
John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Then what is the truth that sets us free from the slavery of sin and death?
John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
1 John 5:6 And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) is the truth.
Through this we can understand is that the truth that set us free is actually the words of God, which is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, to have the Holy Spirit in us, we have to know the Words of God. The words of God are not just letters written in the pages of the bible. The bible says that the Words of God are active and living (Hebrews 4:12). And they work in us in the form of Holy Spirit to give us salvation.
The True Sign of the Holy Spirit
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit? Can we know the Holy Spirit through wonders and miracles? No. Then how can we know that we have the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit?
Ezekiel 11:17 “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’ 18 “They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols. 19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
This is the prophecies of the last days when God gathers his people from the nations and lead them to the kingdom of heaven, the true Promised Land. At that time, God said that he would give his people “a new spirit”. Then what is this new spirit we must receive from God in the last days?
The New Spirit, the Holy Spirit
Ezekiel 36:24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–This is the same prophecy as the one we have already seen in Chapter 11. God prophesies that he would gather his people and cleanse them from the sins and impurities. In this way, they would be free from sin and death. And God will give them a new spirit, that is, the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit).
Just as the bible says that our body is the temple of God. However, God’s temple is desecrated by the idols and impurities. But God says that he will cleanse our body of temple and put His Spirit in us. According to the prophecies above, what is the most important characteristics of people who receive the Holy Spirit? Do they perform miracles and wonders? No.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost: On the Day of the Pentecost, the disciples of Jesus received the Holy Spirit. After receiving the Holy Spirit, what did they do to show that the Holy Spirit was in them? They obeyed the words of God preaching the gospel, that is, the words of God.
Those who Received the Holy Spirit
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–The bible teaches that the main character of God’s people who received the Holy Spirit is not in wonders and miracles, but in keeping the words of God.
Ezekiel 11:19 19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; … 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 36:26 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Those who receive the Spirit of God are those who keep the words of God. God give his words (the Holy Spirit) so that people who keep those words can be cleansed of their sins and impurities. And they would be called the people of God, who can inherit the Promised Land, the Kingdom of Heaven.
Conclusion
How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Today, there are many churches claiming to receive the Holy Spirit. However, they neither know the words of God nor keep them. Then how can we say that they have receive the Holy Spirit? Actually, the bible teaches that those who perform miracles could have received the spirit from the Devil, not from God. Therefore, we must beware when someone says that they receive the Holy Spirit.
The only way we can know if they received the Holy Spirit is through their action. Those who received the Holy Spirit “follow God’s decree and be careful to the laws of God”. Through the Holy Spirit they received, God is dwelling in them and they can have the same mind and spirit as God. Therefore, they obey God completely and make efforts to keep all the commands and laws of God.
Through the festivals God is granting us the Holy Spirit and tells us that we must be careful to keep the laws of God as people who receive the Spirit of God. Let us keep the Sabbath and the 7 festivals of Three Times. And Let us prove ourselves to God and people that we are the true people of God.
Christ in Greek and Messiah in Hebrew means the same thing, that is, “the Anointed One.” If you look at the history of Israel, three types of people could be anointed with holy oil, namely, the king, the high priest, and the prophet.
Anointing Ceremony and its Meaning
Exodus 29:7 Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.
Aaron was anointed in this way to be the high priest. When a person was anointed, the anointing oil was poured on his head during the ceremony. After this ceremony, he could do the work assigned to him as king, or high priest, or a prophet. This anointing ceremony has a significant meaning behind it. Since the person was chosen by God, when the chosen one was anointed, God gave his Spirit to the person so that he can have power to fulfill the mission given to him.
1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the LORD anointed you leader over his inheritance?”…..”The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.” …. As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying.
When Saul was anointed, he received the power of the Spirit of God given to him to lead and save the Israelites from their enemies around.
Daivd Anointed As King By Samuel
Spiritual Fulfillment of Anointing
Just like all the Old Testament regulations, this anointing ceremony has its own reality. This regulation was given to teach us the true “Anointed One” who is coming as King, High Priest, and Prophet which was fulfilled by Jesus by being anointed to work as king, prophet, and high priest. Spiritually Jesus got anointed by baptism and received the Spirit of God.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
The moment he got baptized, the heaven opened and the Spirit of God came down upon him like a dove. At this moment he was anointed by God to be the King like David, the Prophet like Moses, and the High Priest like Melchizedek.
Luke 1:31 He will be great and called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David
He was anointed to be spiritual King David, and also,
Acts 3:22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
He was anointed to be spiritual Prophet Moses, and again,
Hebrews 5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Here we can see he was anointed to be the High Priest like Melchizedek.
The Second Coming Christ
Therefore, the Christ or the Messiah means God himself coming as man in the flesh and getting anointed to be King to rule over Israel by establishing his kingdom, and to be Prophet to teach the true words of God to his people, and finally to be the High Priest to mediate between God and his people so that people can receive the forgiveness of their sins and to be cleansed from all the impurities.
To fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, Christ came down to this earth as man in the flesh even though he was God in heaven. The same bible says that he would come again as Christ, that is, as the Anointed One to be anointed again by coming down to this earth in the flesh.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he (Christ) will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Just as he appeared for the first time as man in the flesh, he will appear a second time as man in the flesh and we call it this as “the Second Coming of Christ.” Many people misunderstand about his second coming and say that he would come with all the spiritual glory of God. But that is not true. The day when God is coming with his spiritual glory is the Day of Judgment, but according to the bible before the Day of Judgment, God must come as man in the flesh again to gather his people and teach them the truth so that they would know the will of God and follow the will of God to be saved on the Day of Judgment.
If God come as judge to make a final judgment for the people of the world, there would be no one to be saved in the last days.
Luke 18:8 I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
This means when he comes for the second time in the last day, he would not be able to find any faith or anyone who truly believe in God. (ERV) In this situation if Jesus is coming as Judge, who would be saved? No one. That is why he must come as Anointed One for the second time to, establish God’s kingdom, to teach his people, and to mediate between God and his people so people of God who would have no faith in God could be forgiven of their sins and they could return to God so that there would be a reconciliation between God and his people. About this Messiah coming who can bring the reconciliation, Prophet Malachi writes:
Malachi 4:5 See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.
Without this reconciliation the land which means this earth and everything in it including human beings will be completely destroyed. That is why to save his people for the coming destruction, God must come back now as the prophet like Elijah to teach his people the truth and to bring the hearts of people to God. About his second coming, Jesus testified like this:
John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate (Counselor) to help you and be with you forever–the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
The advocate–in original Greek version, Parakletos (παράκλητος) or Counselor–is Jesus himself. This means he is coming as Counselor for the second time. Then what is the purpose of his coming? To make judgment and to bring destruction to the earth?
John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
What is the purpose of the coming of the Counselor? To teach and remind us of everything Jesus taught us. Then why should he come again and remind us again? It is because we must have forgotten the teachings he gave us so we must learn things one more time. That is why in Luke he said that he would not be able to see any faith on the earth when he comes back again. People would forget the teachings of Christ and have lost faith in him. That is why before the Day of Judgment he would come again to teach us and to remind us his teachings and to restore the faith toward him for the second time.
Melchizedek, the Anointed One as High priest
Conclusion
Through all these prophecies of the bible we can be sure that he would come back again as man in the flesh to teach us and to bring the reconciliation between God and his people. But he already warned that many will not accept him. If Jesus would appear in the full spiritual glory of God, everybody will accept him. But he already foretold that people will not accept him. Then why? Just as people rejected Jesus just because he appeared as man in the flesh even though he was God himself, people will reject him again because he would appear as man in the flesh for the second time. About his second coming Jesus also prophesied:
Luke 17:24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
While teaching about his second coming, Jesus gave this words and he said that he would suffer and be rejected by the people of the generation. If he appears with full glory of God, who would reject Jesus? The reason He should be rejected by people in his second coming is because he is coming as an Anointed One or as man in the flesh for the second time. He must come back again as High Priest Melchizedek, Prophet Elijah, King David.
That is why we must have spiritual eyes through the bible to know the true identity of Christ hidden behind his physical appearance.
Today let us think about how we can remain in God. Jesus taught his disciples about the importance of remaining in God. One day Jesus who was the master for the disciples brought a water basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples. Peter who believed Jesus to be God who came as man in the flesh could not let Jesus wash his feet who are a mere sinner. So he rejected what Jesus was trying to do to him, and said that Jesus should not wash his feet because it is a servile work belonging to a servant.
Jn 13:8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!
When Jesus said that he who did not wash his feet had nothing to do with him, Peter was alarmed because he wanted to have every part with Christ so he immediately changed his thought and asked Jesus to wash his head and body as well as feet if that is that much important. Sharing a part with someone who is important to you is natural for both of them. That is why Peter more than anything else wanted to share every part with Christ. This is also a teaching of Christ too. He taught us that if we are the disciples of Christ, we must share everything with him. And we should be completely one with Christ by sharing everything with Christ.
John 15:4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
Jesus emphasized over and over again that God’s people must remain in him and then they can bear much fruit and give glory to God. If they do not remain in him, they are like dead branches which would be thrown into fire. It means to receive salvation we must remain in Christ and Christ must remain in us. When we remain in God we can receive abundant blessings from God just as a branch can receive a lot of water and nutrients from the vine when it remain in the vine. Then how can we have Christ in us?
1 John 2:24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
How can we remain in Christ and Christ in us? Christ said we must have in us what we have heard from the beginning. Then what was it that the disciples heard from the beginning?
1 John 2:7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
What is the thing that they had already heard and known even from the beginning? What they had already heard is “the message” or the commands of God which Jesus taught them. Therefore, to remain in Christ, we must remain in the words of God and the words of God remain in us. Then we can remain in Christ.
1 John 3:24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Therefore, it is the words of God that must remain in us and if we remain in the words of God by obeying the words, then we can remain in God and God in us. Then what is the commands of God we must have in us? In the past, God gave the old covenant to the physical Israelites, but for the spiritual Israelites God gave a new covenant. The new covenant is the words of God that must remain in us and we must remain in by obeying it.
Jeremiah 31:31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will make a new covenantwith the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to[d] them,[e]”
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.I will be their God, and they will be my people.
The law of God that we must remain in and that must remain in us is the new covenant and through the new covenant we can become God’s people who can receive salvation. Therefore, the message we already heard which should remain in us is the word of God in the new covenant. When the new covenant is in us, we can remain in God and God in us. Let us confirm how God remain in us through the new covenant.
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
On the night of the Passover, Jesus gave bread and wine which symbolizes his flesh and blood and he established the new covenant through his flesh and blood. Then why did he give the new covenant of the Passover? Through the new covenant Christ can remain in us and we can remain in Christ.
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. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
What is the promise of Christ in the new covenant? Through the new covenant of the Passover, his flesh and blood can remain in his people and his people can remain in Christ because they belongs to Christ through his flesh and blood. By eating his flesh and blood we can become his people and he gives eternal life to everyone who belongs to him. This is the blessing of the new covenant. Through the new covenant we can have everything with Christ and we can become one body with Christ. (1 Corinthians 10:17) Since we are one with Christ, just as God put his Spirit in Christ, God will put his Holy Spirit in us too who have become one with Christ. And through the Spirit in us we can have eternal life.
John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
In conclusion the words of God is the Spirit that gives life. And to those who heard the words of God and obeyed his commands, God puts his Spirit in them and they can remain in God and God in them. And the words that we must have in us is the words of God in the new covenant. When we keep the Passover of the new covenant, Christ’s flesh and blood (or the word of God) can remain in us and through the words of God in us we can receive salvation, the eternal life. This mysterious work of God’s salvation is hidden in the new covenant of the Passover. Therefore, we must keep the new covenant of the Passover.
Even though there is no other church on this earth which keeps the new covenant of the Passover according to all the regulations of the Passover, there is only one church which keeps the truth of the new covenant including the feet washing ceremony which Peter rejected to receive at first. This is the World Mission Society Church of God or WMSCOG, which was established by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. He restored the new covenant of the Passover so that his people can remain in him and him in them. And he let us know the true reality of the new covenant, the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother who is the true source of eternal life. Let us keep the new covenant of the Passover by obeying the words of God so that we may remain in God bearing many fruits. Amen
2000 years ago, God himself came down to this earth in the flesh and dwelt among his people. Even though there were many wise men, scholars, and philosophers in those days, nobody could recognize the Christ and receive him. If they could, they would have received the salvation and eternal life in heaven. Rather they rejected him and persecuted him, calling him as a man who claimed to be God. Even though there were many rabbis, teachers of the laws, and religious leaders, they could not know the Christ with their own wisdom. That is why the Christ is called the mystery or secret which a man cannot know with his wisdom or understanding or knowledge.
Colossians 2:2 ….. in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
No man could know the Christ with his own wisdom and understanding.
1 Corinthians 2:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him,
2 Corinthians 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Who is a wise-man? A man like a socrates? Even though there were many wise men in the time of Christ’s first coming, they rejected him. They could not know Christ through the wisdom of the world. It is the same now. Who would be able to recognize the Second Coming Christ when he appears?
Even though there were many scholars who studied the bible many years, they could not know this mystery, Christ. It would be the same in the last days when the Second Coming Christ comes. There would be many scholars, wise men, and philosophers, but no one will recognize the Christ who comes as man in the flesh. They will stumble and fall down on him. Just as Jesus said, “Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me,” the same thing will happen when he comes for the second time. That much is it hard for people to know the true Christ. About his second coming Jesus already prophesied that he would be rejected when he comes.
Luke 17:25 But first he (the Second Coming Christ) must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Just as he suffered many things in his first coming, he would suffer many things and be rejected by people in his second coming too. Why? It is because there would be nobody who can recognize the Christ when he comes. If we cannot have wisdom to know Christ through the wisdom of the world, then what kind of wisdom should we have?
2 Corinthians 2:6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
The bible teaches us we should have the wisdom of God to know and understand the mystery of God. Then how can we have the wisdom of God so that we can know the mystery of God, Christ?
2 Corinthians 2:10 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
Only those who have the Spirit of God in them can have the wisdom of God and understand the mystery of God. Then how can we have the Spirit of God in us? God says that our eyes are veiled or blinded by our sins and cannot understand the spiritual things, but once our sins are forgiven through the blood of Christ by keeping the Passover, then God puts his Spirit in us to give us the wisdom and understanding coming from God. Just as the temple could be purified through the blood of animals so that the Spirit of God can dwell in the temple, our body of temple can be purified through the blood of Christ and contain the Holy Spirit of God in us. And through the Spirit God gives us wisdom and understanding so that we can know the mystery of God, 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. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
About this Christ Ahnsahnghong taught in his book, The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life.
Unless we become one body with Jesus through the Holy Supper of the new covenant, we cannot know His mysteries. If we become one body with Jesus, His Spirit will be in us and we will come to know the deep things [mysteries] of God. (p. 66)
How clear it is!! Now God is inviting all the peoples of the world to come to God and keep the Passover and then God will lavish on them the Spirit of wisdom and understanding so that they may know the mystery of God, Christ. Therefore, God is teaching us if we think we are wise, now we must become foolish to get the wisdom of God. We should get rid of the worldly wisdom and fill ourselves with the wisdom of God because the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of the world. When we become wise with the wisdom of God, we can know Christ.
Ephesians 1:17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
We should cleanse our body of the temple through the Passover so that God’s Spirit can dwell in us to give us wisdom and understanding to know Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. Give thanks to God Elohim!
