Words of the Bible

The Bible enables us to be wise for salvation (2 Ti 3:15). Let us learn the true will of God from it.

God Has Given the Whole Camp into Our Hands

Gideon and his servant Purah sneak into the enemy camp and listen to the conversation of Midianite soldiers. It is because of God’s word given after choosing 300 warriors to fight against the Midianite camp. “Go down and attack the enemy camp. I am going to give them into your hands. If you are afraid to attack, go down to the Midianite camp with your servant Purah and listen to what they are saying. You will be encouraged to attack them.” During that night, they go down and see the number of the Midianites, the Amalekites, and all other eastern peoples who have settled in the valley is as numerous as a swarm of locusts. Their camels are also countless…

Build a House for the LORD

David appoints stonecutter to dress stone, and prepares a large amount of iron, bronze, and cedar including one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, for building a temple that will show the fame and splendor of God in the sight of all nations. After preparing everything, David calls for his son Solomon and says, “My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the LORD my God. But God said, ‘Your son Solomon will build a house for my Name.’ Now, my son, build the house of the LORD, as God said you would. You will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD…

The Proper Mindset of Worshipers

The disposition of a worshiper must be one of respect toward God. For example, if we were meeting a king, we would prepare appropriately for it. How much more should we do our best to prepare to meet God, the Creator of the universe? We should realize the blessing and the importance of worship, prioritize worship over anything else, and participate in worship with a thankful mind. We should come to worship with our own faith, not being guided by the faith of others. When we have the proper mindset to prepare, we can have a holy and gracious worship to God. What do we need to prepare before the worship time? Prepare for worship by coming early before the…

Order of Worship

All worship services have an established order of worship. There is a standard order of worship, however, they may not be the same for all of the churches due to certain circumstances. The standard guideline is as follows: 1) Silent Prayer Closing your eyes and praying to God in silence with a godly mind (Ps 143:5). 2) Give Glory to God Through a New Song Singing a New Song to God while standing together with all members, giving glory and thanks to Him for His grace (Rev 5:13). 3) Prayer The preacher prays in this order: giving thanks, confessing our sins, and asking God for our wishes to be fulfilled; this too is done with all the members standing, and…

About Worship

Worship or church service is a ceremony where we humbly offer prayers, praises, glory, and thanks to God for leading us to the Kingdom of Heaven with His holy love by granting us forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Which days should we worship God? The days we should worship God are: First and foremost, we must worship God on the Sabbath day. The Sabbath is the day to celebrate God’s power of creation. By observing the Sabbath day, we can reaffirm that God created the heavens and the earth, and acknowledge His amazing power. When we worship God reverently we can receive abundant blessings on the Sabbath day. "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their…

The Purpose of Keeping Worship Services

Inherently we are sinners from heaven. Then, what is the purpose of us worshiping God? First, it is to strengthen our relationship with God. The one we worship is God. God created the heavens and the earth, breathed life into mankind, saved us who are sinners, and even promised us the Kingdom of Heaven through His words of truth. Worship service strengthens our relationship with God by reaffirming the relationship between God and us as Parents and Their children, King and His people, Creator and His creatures. Our relationship with God will be unbreakable when we learn about God, revere Him through worship, and praise Him for His grace. “I will walk among you and be your God, and you…

If They Had Only Looked up to God

Dozens of days have passed since Moses went up to Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. The Israelites, who are waiting for him to come down, rush to Aaron and ask him to do something. “Make us gods who will go before us.” “As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” Aaron proceeds with what they ask in order to calm them down. “Bring gold to me.” Aaron takes the gold that the people brought and makes it in the shape of a calf, and the people present burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the golden calf. Afterward, they dance and indulge in revelry. Moses is the…

I Have Prayed for You

A commotion rises among the disciples, caused by the issue of “Who is the biggest among us?” at the last supper of the Passover. With a painful heart, Jesus is watching the disciples who do not know about His suffering that is to take place in anytime soon. “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, so your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” He replies, “Lord, I am ready to go with You to prison and to death.” Jesus answers, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me.” After the supper, Jesus goes…

Everything Has Been Given by God

David and his six hundred men have reached Ziklag of the Philistines, fleeing from Saul. The Amalekites attacked Ziklag and took captive all the women and children in it. David pursues the Amalekites with his six hundred men, but they are exhausted one by one by the time they reach the Besor Ravine. David has the men, who are too exhausted to cross the ravine, stay behind and guard the supplies, and pursues the Amalekites with the remaining four hundred men and wins great victory. As David and his men bring back the wives and children who have been taken and even the plunder back to the Besor Ravine, the people who have stayed behind and guarded the supplies come…

Heavenly Mother Has Changed Our Destiny

The gospel is now being preached quickly throughout the world. As prophesied in the Bible, the work of salvation—finding the lost heavenly family members—is shaking the world, and God establishes Zion wherever our brothers and sisters go. I believe all these results are brought forth because the people of Zion have been fervently working together for the gospel with one mind, according to Heavenly Mother's teaching. A bright future is waiting for us. When the glory of Jerusalem Mother is pro-claimed, people from all nations will return to God and God’s people will reign forever in the eternal kingdom of heaven according to God’s promise. This is our destiny. Let’s find out through the Bible who has changed our destiny,…

Why Is the Church of God Legitimate?

There are so many different Christian denominations in the world, but it is hard to find a legitimate church that has inherited the teachings of Christ according to the example of the early Church. However, many Christians do not realize this; they believe that their church is legitimate and guarantees unconditional salvation. The church that Jesus established and the apostles attended is the Church of God. The Church of God, which we are attending today, is the only legitimate church that God has established to save human beings in this age of the Holy Spirit through the age of the Father and the age of the Son. Let us confirm that the Church of God is the true church that…

Find Eternal Life, the Salvation of the Soul

The Bible tells us that the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls (1 Pe 1:8). If we believe in God but fail to be saved, our faith is in vain and we will be the most pitiful people in the world. The Bible says that the only place where the unsaved people will go is hell—a place of eternal torment. So, we need to take the matter of our salvation seriously. Above all else, we need to know about God who saves our souls. 2,000 years ago, there were also many people who claimed to believe in God, but they didn’t know God. It was because Jesus Christ—God who came in the flesh according to Bible…

How Do We Pray?

Prayer is a spiritual conversation with God. We must firmly believe in the existence of God and pray with all our heart and mind, believing that He will give us what we ask for. Let’s understand how we should pray. 1) Seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness If we ask for something from our selfish desires or against God’s will, it is like a child who asks for a knife or a gun. Instead, we should pray according to the will of God. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness..." Mt 6:33 2) Believing that God will give us what we ask for A faithless prayer has no life. We must firmly believe in the existence of God…

Why Do We Pray?

For us to pray sincerely, we should know the reason and purpose of prayer. Some people may pray aimlessly without purpose, so let us see why we should pray. 1) We should give thanks to God through prayer We often experience and feel God’s love and grace in our daily lives. We can give thanks to God for the countless blessings He bestows upon us through prayer. Prayers giving thanks to God include: thanks for our daily bread before a meal, thanks for providing a solution in difficulties, and thanks for the fact that God is our hope in all stressful situations. When we have grown accustomed to giving thanks to God for His grace, God will grant us even…

What Is Prayer?

Prayer is an act of asking God, not only for blessings, but for help when facing difficulties that we cannot handle alone. It is difficult for humans, who have limited abilities, to live without help from others. We cannot live without God’s help, so we should pray to God who wants to help us in our weakness. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”Mt 7:7–8 By these words, God promised that everything we ask for will be answered. The ability of prayer is boundless, and it has the…

Preaching of the Gospel and Sense of Responsibility

Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us a lot about the spirit of slavery and the spirit of ownership. An owner always works with a sense of responsibility. However, a slave is not concerned about the result of his work, but just pays attention to the passing of time. As the slave thinks that he is not accountable for the result of the work, he always remains an onlooker and hesitates while waiting for an opportunity. So, we cannot help but look back at ourselves to see if we have been carrying out the gospel mission with a sense of responsibility. Those who feel a sense of responsibility for the gospel are the ones who have the spirit of ownership, and those who…

Relationship between Faith and Obedience

Everybody has a family—a precious relationship which God has allowed them to build. God has given everyone a “family”—a community of love—as a microcosm of heaven full of happiness. From a spiritual point of view, we are all members of the spiritual family. We have a spiritual Father, a spiritual Mother, and spiritual brothers and sisters. The Bible teaches that the command to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” is the first and greatest commandment, and that the command to “honor your father and mother” is the first commandment with a promise (Mt 22:37–38; Eph 6:2). According to this teaching of the Bible, we should honor and…

The Source of Power to Accomplish the Work of Salvation

Our brothers and sisters have been working hard together with one mind in faith. As a result, over 7,000 Zions have now been established all over the world. Looking at this amazing work of salvation, some may think that it has been possible because a department of the Head Office excels at planning, and others may think that we have achieved such great results because we have pastors and missionaries with excellent leadership. However, if we look at it through the Bible, we can realize that the gospel of the kingdom is supposed to be preached throughout the world no matter what kind of people God appoints, and that the work of salvation can be accomplished through God’s help. We…

Sabbath Day

God commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy and appointed it as the fourth of the Ten Commandments. “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” Exodus 20:8 The Sabbath day is a memorial of God’s great work of creating the heavens and the earth. God’s people must keep the Sabbath day holy according to God’s will. God distinguishes who His people are by whether they keep the Sabbath day or not. (Eze 20:11–17; Isa 56:1–7). Then, what day of the week is the seventh-day Sabbath? The Bible testifies that the Sabbath is Saturday. This is evident through the record of Jesus’ resurrection. When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week (Sunday, TEV)… Mark 16:9 Christians worldwide…

Veil

It is a duty for those who serve God to wear the proper clothes for regular worship services. God teaches us that we must have a godly mind, and a man should not cover his head while a woman should cover her head. … the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.1 Co 11:3–5 The purpose of our having worship is to display the glory of God. Male members of the Church of God do not put anything on…
