The Order of Melchizedek and the Law of Tithe
God, who loves mankind, has given us the Bible as a guide to salvation. God allowed all the books of the Old and New Testaments to be written through many prophets. God’s people should observe all the laws and ordinances recorded in the Bible, which contain God’s love and desire to bless and save His people. All the regulations of the New Covenant, such as baptism, Sabbath, Passover, and the veil are the laws of life that God’s people must follow. Tithe is another regulation. Some people mistakenly consider tithe as a donation to the church; however, it must never be regarded simply as secular material. We should understand that tithe is an important law of truth which profoundly impacts…
Cross Reverence in Babylon
Recently, the number of heavenly family members who realize the truth and come to Zion has been noticeably increasing. Almost everyone who visits the Church of God for the first time mentions one thing; they cannot find any cross in our church. It is very common for people to associate the cross with Christian churches. However, the saints of the early Church, established by Jesus, neither erected the cross nor taught that the cross should be revered as an object or a symbol of faith. The History of Cross Reverence Nowadays, most Christian churches put crosses on steeples and use them to decorate the interior of the church, so most people associate the cross with Christianity. Let us find out…
The History of Eden and the Savior in the Age of the Holy Spirit
No one wants to die. However, death is inevitable; it comes to everyone someday, regardless of age, gender, or position. Where did death begin? Most people, whether they believe in God or not, may have heard the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Bible tells us that man sinned in the Garden of Eden and death came to all people. Where there is a problem, there is a solution. Just as the clues to the solution of an accident lie at the accident scene, the secret of life lies in the Garden of Eden where the history of death began, right? Let’s discover the secret of life through the history of Eden and learn about…
Christmas and the Birthday of the Sun
At the end of every year, in the month of December, the whole world is abuzz with a festive atmosphere celebrating Christmas. Christmas was established under the pretense of Jesus’ birth and has become a festival celebrated throughout the whole world, transcending religions and nationalities. On the surface, Christmas appears to contain the meaning of Christ’s birth. However, we should keep in mind that if even the smallest part of the truth is changed, it is no longer the truth that contains the promise of God’s salvation. Truth must remain intact, kept pure, and be consistent with the word of God; it must not be contaminated even in the smallest way. Let us see through the Bible whether or not…
The Three Angels’ Messages
The Bible is a book of prophecy written by the inspiration of God and gives us the wisdom that leads to salvation. God, who declares the end from the beginning, has previously written in the Bible what is still to come, from ancient times (2 Ti 3:15–16; 2 Pe 1:19–21; Isa 46:10). The Bible is the word of God who foresees the future, and that is definitely why we should trust the Bible. Through history, we can see that the prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled without fail at their appointed time. Now, let us find out what God wants to show us through the messages of the three angels in the book of Revelation, among many prophecies. The…
Do This
The Bible is the world’s best-selling book, which contains abundant content—Adam and Eve, the progenitors of the human race, the history of the kings of Israel, the work of Jesus and of the apostles, and much more. Many people study the Bible and acquire new knowledge through it, satisfying their intellectual curiosity. However, reading the Bible just to extend knowledge is not a proper approach to it. Our purpose for reading the Bible is to understand the commands God has given us to save our souls and to put them into practice. We can go to Heaven when we do what God has commanded us, thinking about how to fulfill God’s will and studying the Bible. Do This and You…
Preaching Depends on Our Mindset, Not on Our Method
It is the desire of all the children of God to preach well and bear good fruit if they have realized the will of God and want to put it into practice. Jesus also taught His disciples: “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit” (Jn 15:8). Some of the members, who are eager to bear fruit by any means possible, try to find a special method of preaching. However, we often see our new members, who have just received the truth, bear much fruit even though they are not good at preaching. Through this we come to realize that there is not a certain method of preaching. Now let’s take some time to confirm again that…
The Last Three Requests
The members of Zion are now diligently preaching the gospel for the salvation of all mankind. Even though our efforts to preach are small, God is preparing great, incomparable blessings and rewards for us. This is a true story that happened in America. One day, a young man, who was a university student, was walking along the road. He felt thirsty and knocked on the door of a farmhouse. Then a girl came out, and he asked for a glass of water. The girl poured milk into a large glass and wholeheartedly served it to the man, who was a stranger to her. Time passed and the girl grew up. Then one day, she became seriously ill, and had to…
Be a Great Prophet
The Bible refers to a “prophet” as a person who realizes God’s will first and carries out the work of God. God did nothing without revealing His plan to His prophets, and in every age He sent His prophets again and again to His elect (Am 3:7; Jer 29:19). The Old Testament shows well the activities of the prophets who warned the Israelites whenever they went astray, conveyed the true will of God to them, and prophesied of the impending disasters and the salvation of Christ. The New Testament also talks about the gospel prophets who received the good news of salvation first when Christ came to the earth, and preached it to the whole world. In actuality, all 66…
Discerning False Prophets and the True Church
The earth’s ecosystems we live in are organized so delicately and exquisitely that we can’t help but think someone has designed them. What would happen if the earth was a little bit bigger or smaller than it is now? What if the earth was slightly closer or farther away from the sun? If the size of the earth and the distance from the earth to the sun changed even a little bit and if the satellite moon didn’t exist, there would be no life on the earth. The earth would face a shortage of water or oxygen and its temperatures would be too hot or too cold; the earth’s environment would not be suitable for human habitation, as it is…
The Hidden Manna and Christ Ahnsahnghong
The Bible tells us that the most important thing is to realize Christ, the mystery of God (Col 1:26–27; 2:1–3). 2,000 years ago, Jesus Himself taught that He is the Christ, through manna—the bread of life—from heaven. Most of the people, who had heard Jesus’ words, did not believe in Him and left Him. However, the disciples such as Peter, John and James followed Jesus till the end, realizing that He is the Christ who gives the words of eternal life. Through the New Covenant Passover, Jesus gave the manna from heaven to those who recognized Him. It is the same in this age of the Holy Spirit. God gives the “hidden manna” to those who realize that Christ is…
Never Say “No”
The thoughts of God, who declares the end from the beginning and sees into eternity, are higher than the thoughts of man, just as the heavens are higher than the earth (Isa 55:9). So the Bible teaches us to never say “no” to God’s word. It’s because our single act of disobedience can lead us away from the eternal blessings of heaven. God’s commands are the words of life that lead mankind to eternal happiness and salvation. As God’s holy people, we should always say “yes” to every word of God and follow it. They left their nets and followed Jesus God wrote the things of the past in the Bible to teach us. Let’s learn the direction of faith…
God’s Promise and Heaven
The old year is gone, and a new year has begun. Looking back at the past, I feel like I have woken from a single night of sleep; all my days have passed by so quickly. This reminds me that the day when we will go to Heaven is drawing nearer. We must be so thankful that we have the Kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus came to this earth 2,000 years ago, He taught that Heaven and Hell really exist and told us to follow the path He had opened for us, so we could all go to Heaven. Then He set us an example of putting into practice all the teachings of truth during His life on earth. We,…
To Samaria and Even to the Ends of the Earth
Mother said at the autumn feasts, “When you preach the gospel after receiving the latter rain of the Holy Spirit, you will feel different than you did before.” Relying on the words of Mother, our brothers and sisters in Zion all around the world have been preaching the gospel. As a result, the joyful news is pouring in from all over the world that many of the heavenly children are returning to Zion. They say, “We preach the gospel to the same people at the same place, but they are completely different than how they used to be.” Hearing this, I come to realize that the prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled exactly as written. God said that the…
The World Where Everything Is Accomplished through Faith
The Bible records many miracles, which do not match what we have felt and experienced. The parting of the Red Sea and the restoration of sight to the blind cannot easily be understood based on human knowledge. So, some people say they cannot believe God’s work described in the Bible. However, even what seems dream-like and impossible to us is something very easy to do for God who created the whole universe. God boosts our faith, saying repeatedly in the Bible, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” The world God created goes on according to God’s word even at this moment. When we understand that the word of God Almighty accomplishes everything, something miraculous can happen…
Ascending to Heaven While Walking With God
Everyone wants to go to the Kingdom of Heaven because it is a place where death, sorrow and pain do not exist. Heaven is a place that is filled with eternal joy, glory and happiness, and it is our spiritual home. Those who believe in God have the hope of returning to their heavenly home. Then, what kind of people will be allowed to enter Heaven? The Bible testifies that prophets such as Enoch and Elijah ascended into Heaven while they were walking with God. Now, let us learn about the kind of wisdom we need to have in order to enter Heaven. We should first examine the history of our ancestors of faith, all of whom walked with God.…
Who Is the Owner of Our House?
A house fully reflects its owner’s dignity or taste. When you visit the homes of other people, some of them present a warm and friendly atmosphere, but others present a cold and unfriendly atmosphere. Just by staying inside their homes for a few minutes, you can easily discern what kind of people they are. You can discover whether they are lazy or diligent, whether they are easygoing or strict about everything. A house is a place that reflects the owner’s inner self, just as it is. Then, let’s think about who the owner of our house is. Each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit, where God dwells (1 Co 6:19). We need to ensure that God is…
How Many Days Do We Have Remaining in Our Lives?
There are countless people living in this world; however, among all of these people, there is not a single person who knows exactly how much time they have remaining in their life. Most of them tend to spend their time each day only thinking about their lives on this earth. On the other hand, there are also those who think about the Kingdom of Heaven and live for that eternal world. What kind of life are we currently living in this world? We need to examine ourselves to see whether or not we are blindly walking the path of faith with a vague notion of Heaven. We also need to seriously consider what kind of goal and direction we should…
Our Loving God
God truly loves us. In order to save His children, Heavenly Father left the glorious Kingdom of Heaven behind, and came to this earth in the flesh 2,000 years ago. He endured countless forms of ridicule and insult. As if that were not enough, He bore the pain of being severely whipped, and suffered an excruciating death on the cross. He did all of this to pay for our sins. God loves us so deeply that it cannot be expressed in words. Even at this very moment, Heavenly Mother is walking with us on this earth and endlessly showing us how much She loves us. Heavenly Mother loves and cares for us so much that She has given up Her…
Number One
We continually hear the joyful news from all around the world that our church has received awards as a result of the righteous acts of the members. I believe that soon we will see the perfect fulfillment of the prophecy that God will give the people of Zion honor and praise among all people of the earth. As we continue to receive awards on this earth, which is only a copy and shadow, I am even more excited about the rewards in Heaven, which God promised us. God certainly said, “I have rewards for you.” When viewed from space, the earth appears as a tiny dot among numerous planets. Therefore, the awards we receive on this earth, regardless of how…
