  You are from God and in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 "You are from God and in Christ Jesus, who came from God and became for us wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and redemption, so as it is written: ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.’" All salvation takes place in Christ. When a believer dies with Jesus Christ on the cross, God causes them to be born again in a spiritual body. This is receiving new life from heaven and becoming one who is in Christ. And Jesus came forth from God and became wisdom to us, as well as righteousness, holiness, and redemption. While the Korean translation lists these four as wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and salvation, the Greek Bible divides them into two: wisdom and righteousness, holiness, and redemption. In other words, He became Egenethe Sophia (wisdom), and from that wisdom, these three things emanate. Wisdom signifies Ho Logos. Jesus came forth from God and became wisdom—Ho Logos—to the saints. Therefore, the saints become...

  Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.   1 Corinthians 1:22-25 "Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles; but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength." The Jews conceive of God appearing through signs. The wisdom sought by the Greeks is a humanistic ideology. However, the core of Christianity is the preaching of the Gospel about Jesus Christ. The Gospel is that Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, resurrected, and enters into the hearts of believers to dwell as the Logos. The resurrected Jesus Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Resurrection cannot be achieved, understood, or known by human ability and wisdom. Resurrection is the rising of the spirit that was confined within the body. The fl...

  Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish?   1 Corinthians 1:20 "Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish?" This means that although rabbis and scribes among the Jews are wise, a wisdom far superior to theirs has been manifested. That is precisely what is called the Logos. God's word consists of the word of the law given to sinners and the word of the gospel for salvation; the word of the gospel stands above the law, and this is the Logos. Ho Logos is Christ, the Word. The Word includes words found in the letter, but there are also words spoken within the heart. This means that the Word of God is not entirely contained within the records of the Bible. While it is based on that, there is a Word that is much broader and deeper than that. Paul and the other disciples of Jesus always attempted to converse with the Ho Logos in prayer, and it was evident that they heard H...

  The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing   1 Corinthians 1:18-20 "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and frustrate the understanding of the intelligent.' Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish?" Regarding what is translated as the "way of the cross," the Greek term is *Ho Logos* of the cross. *Ho Logos* ( Ὁ λ ό γο ς ) is Christ who dwells within the hearts of the saints. The *Ho Logos* dwelling within the hearts of the saints becomes the most important purpose of salvation. Proclaiming this is precisely the Gospel. What is recorded refers to a quotation from Isaiah 29:14. In the Old Testament, the word of God was translated as "wisdom," but in the New Testament era, it is translate...

  (6) Regulations Concerning the Lampstand and the Showbread Leviticus 24:2-4 “ Command the children of Israel to bring to you pure olive oil, pressed to light the lamps continually. Aaron shall keep the lamps set before the LORD from evening until morning, outside the curtain of the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle. This is a perpetual ordinance for your generations. He shall keep the lamps on the pure lampstand before the LORD always. ” The first part, spanning verses 1 – 4, concerns the eternal ordinances regarding the lamps inside the tabernacle. The tabernacle was the place of God's presence. It was divided into the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. In the Holy Place were the lampstand, the table of showbread, and the altar of incense, all made of pure gold; in the Most Holy Place, there was the Ark of the Covenant, upon which were the cherubim and the Mercy Seat. First, it was commanded that the lamp in the Holy Place must not be extinguished. In the Bible, oil sig...
