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.
Why did Jesus come in the human form though He is Almighty God?
God can surely appear in the human form if He wants. God is omnipotent and omniscient. God has the power to choose to be or not to be in the flesh. Then, why did God Himself come to the earth as a fragile baby and son? We can easily understand…
There are many people in the world who claim to follow Jesus. Why is it, then, that they do not keep the new covenant Jesus established?
The purpose of Jesus’ coming to this earth is to give eternal life to human beings who are destined to die because of their sins. In order to lead us to salvation, Jesus established the new covenant on the day of the Passover and became a sin offering for us,…
The Biblical Sabbath Is Saturday. Then, Why Do Most Churches Worship on Sunday?
It is clear that the Biblical Sabbath is Saturday, the seventh day of the week. The early Church kept the Sabbath day holy according to the teachings of the Bible (Ac 17:2; 18:4). Then, why do most churches today worship on Sunday? Let's find out the reason. Sunday and Roman…
Passover
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”Jn 6:53 The Passover that makes “disasters pass over” is celebrated at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month in…
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…
The Coming of Christ Ahnsahnghong
2,000 years ago, Jesus was born on this earth to save mankind. He was baptized at the age of 30, and preached the gospel of the new covenant during His public ministry of about three and a half years. After finishing His mission, He went up to heaven. When Christ ascended to heaven, He promised to come back to this earth (Ac 1:6–11). 2018 is a very meaningful year that marks the 100th birth anniversary of Christ Ahnsahnghong—Jesus who has come a second time according to the prophecies of the Bible. Let us find out why God has come to this earth, through the Bible. The dark world where the truth is obscured After Jesus’ ascension, there were many changes…
God Inspects Us
God’s word is being spread rapidly throughout the world according to Bible prophecy. As the truth is being preached so quickly, more and more people are gathering to Zion. So, there are still some members who practice the habits they have learned from the world. We have received the truth, and we are cleansing ourselves from the filth of the world little by little in God, so we can change into perfect beings with upright personalities and behaviors that God desires. Through the Bible, let us now examine the earnest will of God who wants His children to be fully born again. God inspects everyone A sister in Zion led one of her friends to the truth. But her friend…
Obedience and Faith
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Father Ahnsahnghong’s coming to this earth. The number 100 symbolizes perfection. There is just one number difference between 99 percent and 100 percent, but it makes a great difference between the two—the former is imperfect, and the latter is perfect. In order to have 100 percent perfect faith, we must learn obedience. Here, obedience refers to compliance with God’s word. Most people today regard it as a virtue to be self-assertive and insistent rather than be complaisant and obedient. However, we must always obey God’s words, even though we may not obey somebody else’s words. Without faith it is impossible to obey God. When we have obedience and faith, we can enter the…
