Question 6: What then is true and correct knowledge of God? Answer: We know God for the purpose of glorifying Him. Believing in the God Jesus calls "Father" is truly and correctly knowing God. The idea of ​​the Trinity prevents a correct belief in God. True belief in God means the Father, Jesus Christ, and the saints become one in the Holy Spirit. When a saint becomes one with God in Christ, he or she comes to know God. To know (Hebrew yada) means to know each other, like a married couple. Therefore, heaven is likened to a marriage. The sacrament symbolizes the belief in Jesus' death and resurrection. The breaking of bread and the pouring of the cup during the Eucharist symbolize this relationship. The breaking of the bread signifies death on the cross, eating the bread signifies receiving resurrection life, the pouring of the cup symbolizes the blood shed on the cross, and drinking the cup is partaking of the water of life from heaven. Luke 22:16-20 “For I tell you, I wi...

Question 7: What is the right way to glorify God? Answer: It is to trust in Him completely, to serve Him in obedience to His holy will, to call upon Him for help in all our troubles, and to express and acknowledge with our hearts and mouths (deeds) that salvation and all good things come from Him alone. Because God came in the flesh to save humanity, died on the cross, and rescued us from sin, believers can participate in God's righteousness. Therefore, believing that a believer died with Jesus Christ and was resurrected with Him is living according to God's will, and sharing this with others is carrying out God's will. Since everything is accomplished by God's grace, it is natural for believers to give glory to God. The way to give glory to God is to share the grace they have received with others, so that they may receive grace from God themselves.

  Question 5: From this, can we see that there is no greater misfortune than not living according to God's will? Answer: Yes, certainly. People in the world neither know God, nor understand His will, nor do they realize that this is a misfortune. Many believers even claim to know and believe in God, yet live without understanding His will. 1 Thessalonians 4:4 states that God's will is your sanctification. God has given holiness to His saints. Holiness is a gift from God to those who died with Jesus and were resurrected with Him. Therefore, holiness is synonymous with resurrection life. Nevertheless, most believers strive diligently to achieve holiness. They strive to achieve righteousness by keeping the law, examine themselves daily to see whether they sin or not, and seek forgiveness of their sins through the blood of Jesus. These are those who claim to believe in God but do not live according to His will. There is no greater misfortune than this, and they do not know it. This...

  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...
