  According to him hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world   When we ask the question of why God chose Christ before the creation of the world, most churches say, "Because God is omnipotent, God knows everything. After the creation of heaven and earth, Adam and Eve fell into Satan's temptation and fell into sin. People say, "Because the world will fall and become evil and eventually reach a state where God will have no choice but to destroy the world, God knows everything and predestined before the foundation of the world to save only the chosen ones in Christ." In order to fully understand that God predestined Christ before the creation of the world, the saints must read in John 6:63,  “ It is the spirit that quickeneth; Sainys must understand well the words,  “ the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ” Jesus came to save dead spirits. The people of the world are based on the body, but Jesus ...

  Healing the paralytic   In Mark 2:3-12, we see Jesus healing a paralytic patient. However, Jesus said to the patient,  “ When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. ”  And then, in chapter 2 verses 9-12,  “ Whether it is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 』 In Luke 5:21,  “ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? The thought is,  “ Who can forgive sins, but God alone? ”  Jesus said to the paralytic,...

  Raising the dead son of the widow of Nain   In Luke 7:11-17,  “ And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and he said to her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother, and there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. Those who are deprived of the hope of the kingdom of God are the poor in spirit. I...

  Those of earth and those of heaven   In Ecclesiastes 12:7,  “ Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it. ”  This means that when a person dies, the spirit goes to God, and the body returns to the dust. In other words, the spirit is released from the prison called dust and returns to God. However, in order for the spirit to return to the kingdom of God, he must wear holy clothes. The holy garment is the same as the soul. In the world, the soul, a living being, is like clothes contaminated with sin. We must change our clothes into the clothes of Christ. In other words, the spirit must be changed into a new soul body (clothes of Christ). So this changing of clothes is called baptism. And the LORD God formed man of the  dust  of the ground, and  breath ed into his nostrils the  breath  of  life ; and man became a living soul.(kjv) In Genesis 6:6,  “ And it repented the LORD that ...

  Jesus came to find the lost sheep   Luke 15:1-7  『 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it ? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance  』 Regarding the background of Jesus telling this parable, the Pharisees and scribes were dissatisfied when they saw  “ Jesus eating with tax collectors and sinn...

  What kind of life is pursuing righteousness?   During their sermons, church pastors say,  “ Salvation comes by the grace of God, not by the law. ”  A person who believes in Jesus  “ has his sins imputed to Jesus Christ, and the righteousness of Christ is imputed to the believer. ”  So, although he was a sinner before, he became righteous because of Christ. It's not wrong. What is the problem? First, most pastors do not say to believers, "In order for believers' sins to be transferred to Jesus through Jesus' atonement death, they must become dead in union with Jesus Christ who died on the cross." Since pastors say that sins are transferred by believing in Jesus, they think that all they have to do is believe in Jesus. Second, most pastors do not say that  “ those who died in union with Jesus on the cross are now resurrected with Jesus. ”  Those who are currently resurrected with Jesus are recognized as holy by God's grace. Because they do not kno...

He appointed twelve.   Mark 3:13-19  『 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. And he ordered twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into a house. 』 The meaning of twelve can be found in Hebrew letters. They are ten (yod:  י ) and two (ved:  בּ ). Yod means hand, and Bede means the house (temple) of God.  『 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. And he ordained (Epoiesen  ἐ ποί ησεν ) twelve 』 mountain mea...
