Truth of Life

Some people insist that there is no need to keep the laws such as the Sabbath and the Passover in New Testament times because they were abolished after Jesus. Are there any biblical grounds for their insistence?

When it comes to the Law, many people misunderstand that it only applies to the Israelites in Old Testament times. They say that there are no more laws to be observed in New Testament times when God's unconditional grace is given to all through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. However, it is different than what the Bible teaches. The law of Moses and the law of Christ There are two kinds of laws in the Bible: One is the law of Moses, which was given by God through Moses, and the other is the law of Christ—the law of the new covenant—which was established by Jesus. The law of Christ is the law made perfect by Jesus: In the New…

Why is there no cross in the Church of God?

I had a chat with my colleague today, but I couldn’t explain things properly. So I’m sad. What was it about? She goes to church, and so I told her cross-reverence is idolatry. Then she asked me how the cross can be an idol when it’s just a symbol of the church. I wanted to tell her in detail but I couldn’t remember any. Could you please tell me again why the cross is an idol? Sure. Shall we read the Ten Commandments first? “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them…

Manna—the Miraculous Bread, and the Passover

When we study the Bible, we can find three miraculous breads in it. The first is manna, the mysterious bread, which God provided for the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. The second is the miraculous bread Jesus provided; He fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. The third is the bread of the Passover which Jesus referred to as His flesh. Manna fell from heaven each day for millions of people to eat during their 40-year wilderness journey. This was not a common occurrence. In that sense, manna is certainly a miraculous bread. The multiplication of the five loaves of bread and two fish is also a miracle performed by Jesus Himself. However, Christ…

The Order of Aaron and the Order of Melchizedek

In the Bible there are two divisions [orders] of priesthood: the order of Aaron and the order of Melchizedek. 1. The order of Aaron The order of Aaron is a priestly division in which the priests conducted sacrifices according to the laws and regulations of the old covenant. Aaron was a Levite, so the order of Aaron is also called the Levitical priesthood [the order of Levites]. Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of 12 sons including Levi, who was the third son of Jacob and his wife Leah. Jacob and his family moved to Egypt when his son Joseph became a ruler of Egypt, and they left Egypt after 430 years.…

Why does the Church of God keep services on Saturday?

Sister, God bless you on the Sabbath day! You’ve come early. We still have much time before the service. I heard I’d better come earlier than the service time to keep it with a godly mind. I’m a sleepyhead, so getting up this morning was a struggle for me. I’m happy to see you make efforts to do as you’ve learned! But you know what? Some people say it’s weird when I tell them I go to church on Saturday. Tilting their heads, they ask me, “Isn’t Sunday the day of worship?” They did? Yes. So, I’m asking you, “Why does our church keep services on Saturday unlike other churches?” The day we’re promised to meet God is the Sabbath…

What is the reason why every church erects the cross?

There was no cross in the early Church The reason why the churches today set up the cross is because they regard it as the symbol of Christ. Even those who do not believe in God take it for granted. However, the cross can never be a symbol of Christ. The cross, which was an object of shame and the"accursed tree" to the apostles in the early Church (Gal 3:13), was introduced into the church as Christianity became paganized. The leaders of the Church of Rome accepted pagan ideas and symbols under the pretext of evangelizing pagans, and one of them was the cross. Paying attention to the fact that Jesus was crucified on the cross, the Church of Rome…

The Heavenly Wedding Banquet

The Bible tells us that everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Heb 8:5). As we have a physical body, so we also have a spiritual body—a newly reborn body—which we, God’s children, will be clothed with when we go back to heaven. As we have our physical father and mother, so we have our spiritual Father and Mother who give birth to us and will change our physical body into a spiritual, heavenly body. We can find this fact in God’s providence over the creation. Eternal life given in accordance with nature Our ancestors would say that it’s natural that people should realize the will of Heaven and follow it, and that…

Why is the church named the Church of God?

Sister, God bless you! I’m Pastor Clear. It’s nice to meet you! Good to see you, too. Pastor, I’ve got many questions because I’ve just started attending the Church of God. My first question is this. Why is the church named the Church of God? Isn’t every church the Church of God if they believe in God? Many people think that way. But, Sister, aren’t there many churches in your neighborhood? Among them, there are the churches established by God, and also the churches that were not established by God. Is there a church not established by God? If that’s true, I must find out which church is established by God before I go to any church. Certainly. Then, how…
