Truth of Life

God the Father and God the Mother

God has given all mankind an opportunity to hear the gospel, understand it and come to salvation. By the grace of God, the work of world evangelism is being accomplished amazingly, and so many souls around the world repent and return to the arms of God. When people hear the gospel, what amazes them the most is the truth about Mother the heavenly Jerusalem. The doors for the gospel are open wide; all the nations of the world—in Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, Asia and Africa—submit to the truth about Heavenly Mother. It is living proof that people around the world are waiting for salvation from Heavenly Mother so eagerly. Now, let’s study the Biblical teachings about God the…

What Is the Trinity?

While reading the Bible, I saw that Jehovah is God in certain parts and that Jesus is God in other parts. Are the two different Gods? No. God appears in each age with a different appearance and a different name. In the age of the Father, God’s name was Jehovah; in the age of the Son, He came in the name of Jesus; and in the age of the Holy Spirit, He came in the new name of Jesus (cf. Revelation 3:12). All three of them are the same one God. So, the Trinity means that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not different but one and the same God. God the Father is…

What is the difference between the forgiveness of sins and salvation?

The forgiveness of sins and salvation mean the same thing. We can easily understand this when we realize our origin. The salvation we need is the forgiveness of sins The word "salvation" means the act of saving someone from risk, harm, or destruction. Helping a person who is suffering from sickness to be healed or rescuing someone who is in danger of losing his or her life is also a type of salvation. However, the salvation that God provides is not of the body, but of the soul, and the salvation of our souls is also the goal of our faith. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you…

All churches claim to preach the gospel, but the meaning of the gospel is vague. What is the gospel?

About two thousand years ago, Jesus came to the earth and preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven to save us. Since it was Jesus who preached the gospel of the kingdom, the gospel means all the teachings that Jesus gave us to lead us to the kingdom of heaven. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”Mt 24:14 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the…

I know that each of us has a soul and that there is the spiritual world, but I can in no way imagine what it will be like. Is there any way I can imagine even a little bit of the spiritual world?

A human consists of the dust of the ground, which is the flesh, and the breath of life, which is the soul. When a man dies, his flesh returns to the ground and the spirit, to God. In other words, in our afterlife, there surely exists the Kingdom of Heaven, the spiritual world, where we live together with God. It is just that it is invisible and that it is hard to explain about the world. However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him”1 Co 2:9 The highest dimensional space discovered by modern science to this day is the universe. With human…

The Church of God is called Zion. Is there a reason?

The name of the church that Christ established on this earth 2,000 years ago is the Church of God (1 Co 1:2; 11:22; Gal 1:13). The Church of God is also called Zion (Heb 12:22; Rev 14:1). When we find out what kind of place Zion is, we can understand why we call the Church of God Zion. Zion was the name of a small mountain in Jerusalem. After the ark of the covenant of God was placed there, the term “Zion” was used to represent not only Jerusalem but also Israel (1 Ki 8:1). To understand the reason that the Church of God is called Zion, we need to understand the relationship between King David and Jesus first. King…

Is There Really God the Mother in the Bible?

Sister Curious, I heard that you visited your hometown at the beginning of the year. Do you go there often? Yes, my mother is there, so even if it’s not a special day like a national holiday, I go to see her whenever I have time. It seems we miss our hometown more if our mothers are there. When it comes to home, mother comes to our mind, right? Then it’s not a surprise that there is Heavenly Mother in the kingdom of heaven, home of our souls. I was surprised a lot when I first heard about Heavenly Mother. People all call God Father. I thought that, too. But when I was told that there is also Mother in…

The Holy City, Jerusalem

Now, the glory of Jerusalem is being proclaimed rapidly throughout the world according to the prophecies of the Bible, and it is heard that the people of Zion around the world are continuously coming to Jerusalem. Seeing these prophetic signs, we can realize that the glory of Jerusalem will be spread soon to Samaria and to the ends of the earth—to all nations of the world, just as God prophesied. Through the Bible, let’s study the reality of Jerusalem whose glory will be proclaimed to the whole world, and find out what blessings are given to those who participate in Her glory. The Holy City, Jerusalem Christ is to come a second time to bring us salvation (Heb 9:28). Through…

Does the soul really exist?

The question of the soul has been a subject of much discussion and debate among people for a long time. Recently, a renowned British physicist said, "Afterlife is a fairy tale for those afraid of death," and his remarks became the object of controversy. To those who think that death is the end of everything, the soul is nothing but an existence created by the human imagination. Not only atheists but even those who claim to believe in God insist that there is no soul. Just as the Sadducees, a sect of Judaism, denied the existence of the soul 2,000 years ago, so they insist that there is no spiritual world—God only reigns over the visible world. The soul exists…

All You Who Love Jerusalem

As the years pass by one after another in our life of faith, the moment is coming closer when we will change into beautiful angels by the grace of Father and Mother. Now, the people of Zion, who are chosen as children of promise and called by God, should have a correct view of Jerusalem our Mother who takes the lead in the gospel work in this age, and should also realize Her sacrifice hidden behind the scenes. When we do so, we will be able to have the proper mindset and faith as God’s heirs who will inherit salvation. Let’s find out how the last gospel work, which our heavenly Mother is leading, goes on every day, through the…

I often hear people say, “We can be saved as long as we believe in God.” Is that true?

It is definitely true that we can be saved by faith. Jesus said, “According to your faith, will it be done to you.” And Apostle Paul also emphasized the importance of faith by describing it as one of the most important three factors in our Christian life, saying, “The righteous will live by faith”(Mt 9:29; 1 Co 13:13). For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”Ro 1:17 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”Gal 3:11 However, the faith mentioned in the Bible is different from the faith…

The Passover and the Truth of Salvation

Today, the world is suffering from spiritual thirst without hearing the words of God and from rampant disasters (Am 8:11; Jer 44:23). Nevertheless, some people deny God’s word and insist, “The Passover of the new covenant is not the truth of salvation. So we don’t need to celebrate it.” Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, who were religious leaders in those days, for their hypocrisy and said that the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven was not given to them. Even now, there are people like them who claim to believe in God but do not understand the will of God correctly. As the Bible says that God’s people are destroyed from lack…

It is known that Christianity believes in only one God. Actually, however, most Christians believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit as well as the LORD God, Jehovah. Does it mean that God is three distinct Persons?

For the salvation of human beings, God divided 6,000 years into three ages—the age of the Father, the age of the Son, and the age of the Holy Spirit—and He carried out His salvation work with a different name in each age. In the age of the Father, God used the name Jehovah; and in the age of the Son, God came in the name of Jesus. In the age of the Holy Spirit, God is to have another name when He carries out His work of redemption on this earth. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…

There are so many Christian denominations, and we often hear people insist that the denomination they belong to is authentic. What exactly is heresy?

From a religious point of view, “heresy” is an idea or doctrine that goes against the true faith. Discerning heresy is very important for our salvation. Even though we have believed in God fervently for a long time, if we belong to a heretical denomination, we cannot be saved. Then, which denomination is a heretic? Standard of heresy People have a tendency to think that the church which has a long history and many followers is authentic and that the church which has not is heretical. However, the length of a church history or the number of followers cannot be a standard for distinguishing the true Church from false churches. If these kinds of standards were right, it would mean…

What Is the Difference Between Immersion Baptism and Sprinkling Baptism?

Baptism is a ritual act to put off the sinful body and to be born into a new life to become a Christian: To be baptized is to bury our sins in water. Different denominations teach and practice different methods of baptism: immersion and sprinkling. There seems to be no big difference between them, but when we understand the meaning of the Greek word for baptize, we can see that Biblical baptism is immersion, not sprinkling. The Greek word "(baptizô)" means ‘to dip, to immerse or to submerge.' The English word ‘baptize' is a direct transliteration from the Greek word. Therefore, if we consider the meaning of the original language, there is no doubt that the Biblical method of baptism…

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…

The Passover and the Sign of Promise

Today there is increasing tension in the whole world because of the news about disasters that are occurring in all parts of the earth. Continuous disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, abnormal weather phenomena, in addition to wars and conflicts—the Bible already warned of these disasters thousands of years ago. It is not too much to say that those disasters are pouring out all at once in this age—the age of the Holy Spirit which we are now living in. The reason why God has restored the Passover in this age is to protect His people from disasters. At the time of the Exodus 3,500 years ago, God let the Israelites know about the Passover above all things. It…

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…

Seek David in the Last Days

Every word in the Bible contains the precious will of God, which He wants us to know. Now, the Bible has been translated into over 2,000 languages, and it is the best-selling and the most widely distributed book in the world today. However, most people, even though they read the Bible, do not realize the hidden meaning of the words of every prophecy in the Bible. Every language has its own characteristics, so it is not easy to fully understand the nuances of a language except for its native people. Likewise, the language of the kingdom of God is hard to understand; it can only be understood by the people of God. We, God's people, know well what the Spirit…

Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Has Brought Us the Tree of Life

God has given mankind the Bible in order to ultimately save their souls. Through the Bible, we must meet God our Savior. The Bible contains many parables. Among them, the history of the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis shows us how men committed sin in heaven and were cast down to the earth. If we realize the true meaning hidden in this parable, we will be able to break the chain of death that binds us. The Bible says that there are two kinds of people: those who are given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, and those who are not (Mt 13:10-16). Those who are given the knowledge of the secrets are…
