  Question 4: Why do you call it the greatest happiness? Answer: Because if we do not know God, we are more miserable than animals. The reason why attaining resurrection life, or eternal life, is the ultimate happiness is because there is no more sin or death. However, attaining resurrection life is not easy. It is a gift given to those who have died to the world. Death to the world signifies a change in one's identity. Although we live in the world through our flesh, the old and new temples coexist within our souls, the identity of the saints lies in the new temple (the new person). The old temple is the physical body, the new temple is the spiritual body, and these two engage in a daily spiritual battle. Romans 7:21-23 “Therefore I find it to be a law, that when I want to do good, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells i...

  Question 3: Then what is the greatest happiness for humans? Answer: As above. The ultimate happiness for humanity is to be saved by God and enter the kingdom of God. Salvation, united with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross, means escaping from the world and entering the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, the Exodus meant leaving Egypt, which symbolizes the world, and entering Canaan, which symbolizes the kingdom of God. However, in the New Testament, the Exodus meant dying with Jesus, and entering Canaan meant being resurrected with Jesus. Resurrection means gaining eternal life.

  Question 2: Why do you say that? Answer: Because God created us and placed us in this world to receive glory among us. Since God is the source of our life, it is only natural that we live our lives for His glory. Those who have turned away from God forget Him, live as their own masters, and then die. The spirit within all humans comes from the kingdom of God, but those who do not know God ultimately go to Hades upon death and face judgment. This is God's justice. God's justice is His will to judge sin. However, as in the parable of the prodigal son, God waits for the sinful spirits cast into the world to repent and return. By becoming flesh and dying on the cross, God opened the way for those who repent to return to the kingdom of God. God opens the gates of heaven to those who repent, believe that they died with Jesus on the cross, and were resurrected with him. Heaven refers to the kingdom of God within the hearts of believers. First, we must live in this world to...

  (6) Matna and Quail Exodus 16:2-5 “ The whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to them, ‘ If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger. ’ Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘ See, I will rain bread from heaven for you. The people shall go out and gather a certain amount each day, so that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. On the sixth day they shall prepare what they gather; it shall be double what they gather each day. ’” "The whole congregation of the children of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness," but the Hebrew Bible says, "The whole congregation of the children of Israel stayed and stayed and stayed in the wilderness on the shoulders of Moses and Aaron." In the phrase "to stay" (r...

  Calvin's Geneva Catechism A. Concerning Faith Question 1: What is the chief end of human life? Answer: To know God. Salvation means "realizing that all people born into this world are sinners, being freed from sin through Jesus Christ, and becoming righteous people of God." Therefore, the greatest goal of the saints, as God's people, is to establish God's kingdom on earth. The Kingdom of God on earth signifies the establishment of a new temple within the hearts of believers, creating heaven. This is precisely the purpose for which Jesus came to this world. When Christ dwells within the hearts of believers, they are restored to the image of God, becoming one with God in Christ. Only then can they live a life that glorifies God.

  Question 128: What is the meaning of the conclusion of this prayer? Answer: The meaning of the words, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever” is that we ask God, who is our King and has power over all things, and who is willing and able to give us whatever is good, and that by doing this, we are not glorifying ourselves, but that God’s holy name is glorified forever. Like the parable of the prodigal son, all people who have turned away from God and live as sinners in this world will turn to God and praise Him. This means they will confess and praise that all things are under God's authority, and that while all things on earth will pass away, only God's glory remains. Therefore, the day will come when all things on earth and in heaven become one, becoming the Kingdom of God, where all things sanctify God's name and praise Him. Therefore, believers should understand and understand this truth and pray with a heart that desires for Heaven's will...
