The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.

  The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.   1 Corinthians 3:19-20: “ The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, as it is written: ‘ He causes the wise to fall into their own traps. ’ And the Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile. ” The wisdom of this world refers to humanistic thought. Humanism appears rational and wise to worldly people, but it is foolish to God. This is because God ’ s thoughts and human thoughts are different. Humanism signifies a Christian ideology that is human-centered rather than God-centered. While humanism exists as various topics, one cannot help but speak about humanism regarding the view of salvation. The core themes of the view of salvation are the problem of sin and resurrection. First, regarding sin, humanistic thought regards the disobedience of God ’ s commands as the root of sin; therefore, it accepts that keeping the commandments means there is no sin. However, no matter how strictly one tries to keep th...

The temple of God is holy, and so are you.

  The temple of God is holy, and so are you. 1 Corinthians 3:17: "If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. The temple of God is holy, and so are you." Although the people of the Corinthian church claimed to be in Christ, they did not understand the Logos who dwells in the temple within the hearts of the saints. Furthermore, because they were diluting the Gospel with Gnosticism in addition to the Gospel of Christ, the temple of God is established as an abomination. The saint becomes holy only through the union of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Therefore, there is no salvation other than the Gospel of the death on the cross and the resurrection. However, Gnostics claim that one must strive diligently for spirituality in addition to the Gospel. It appears that they have an idol of themselves sitting in the temple. Acts 20:31-32: “Therefore be watchful, remembering how for three years I did not cease night and day, but instructed each of you with t...

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

  Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?   1 Corinthians 3:16: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" The statement that the saint is a temple expresses the Kingdom of God within the heart. It signifies that Jesus Christ dwells right within this heart, and if this is not proclaimed, everything becomes a futile thing, as if consumed by fire. This is because Jesus is the very temple and the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is connected by the Holy Spirit. It signifies that the Father, Jesus Christ, and the saints are united by the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is not a visible kingdom, but rather a kingdom where God's rule is established in a spiritual sense. God created the world to confine the spirits of the angels who sinned in the Kingdom of God, and by confining them in dust, they became human beings. God does not dwell in a world composed of matter. By p...

Lord God and Jehovah God

  Lord God and Jehovah God   In the Bible, the Hebrew word Adonai, the Greek word Kyrius, and the Revised Version's Jehovah (Hebrew Yahweh) are mixed together. The first appearance of the name Jehovah (Yahweh) God in the Bible is in Genesis 2:4. "This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, on the day when Jehovah God made the earth and the heavens." The name Jehovah appeared after the Septuagint was compiled. Before that, it was called Adonai. The Hebrew Adonai is translated as Kyrius in Greek and means "Lord." There are several instances in the Old Testament where Adonai is used, such as 1 Kings 18:7 and Ezra 10:3. 1 Kings 18:7: ​​ "As Obadiah was on the road, Elijah found him. He recognized him and fell on his face and said, 'My lord (Adonai: Adon) Elijah, is it you?'" Adonai is an emphatic form of Adon (master, owner), and is a title used only when addressing God, the owner and ruler of humans and a...

He himself will be saved, but as through fire.

  He himself will be saved, but as through fire.   1 Corinthians 3:13-15 "If anyone's work built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward; but if anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss (zemiothesetai); yet he himself will be saved, but as through fire." Gemeothesetai ( ζημιωθή σεται ) means to be harmed, to suffer loss, or to be wounded. If the ministry that a believer has worked hard for is burned up like wood, grass, or straw, they will suffer many wounds. In order for a believer to receive salvation, they must be baptized. Although baptism is administered with water as a formality, Satan ’ s temptation comes after baptism. It is those who hear the Word who are tempted. If those who hear the Word do not reach the death and resurrection of Jesus, they will all fall away. When Jesus was baptized, a voice from God was heard saying, “ This is my beloved Son, ” and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove, and that Holy Spirit led Jesus to Sa...
