The Spirit of God descending like a dove

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew 3: 13-17)

Jesus was baptized. Jesus' baptism indicates that he was killed for the law. But after Jesus' ascension to the resurrection, Jesus make born again by giving the Holy Spirit to "the one who was killed against the law with himself in the cross." This is God's work that transcends time and place. Just as Jesus died of the law, those who died with Jesus were also killed by the law.

『 Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness 』 Man must be killed by the law of God to reach all righteousness. Christians become dead by the law. So, they are recognized as righteous by being killed by the law.

Romans 7:4『Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 』 Romans 7: 1-3 explains the law. The law only governs "while a person is alive." Verse 2 describes the law as a husband. So people are bound by the law. Her husband is alive, and when she goes to another man, she is a pussy. It is said that the church member is not dead to the law, but the pursuit of the Holy Spirit is a contradiction. The law does not die. I have no choice but to die. Verse 4 explains that this way we can overcome the power of death and go to the risen Jesus.

Many churches today have no explanation of the law, no knowledge of it, and say that if you believe in Jesus, you will go to heaven. However, it is impossible for a person whose “husband is the law” to receive Jesus. But most say that they accepted Jesus. Most of them are committing spiritual adultery. Jeremiah 2: 20-37 speaks to the Israelites of spiritual adultery. He points out that he loves and follows the foreign gods. Even today, those who follow the law are following the Devil. All who think more preciously than God are foreign gods. Only the dead about the law can go to the risen Jesus.

If we have not been killed for the law, we have never been to the risen Jesus. I have to put down all my hard work, my righteousness, and my good. Because everything is legal. "I am not able to be saved by my righteousness, but I must die." Only by repenting, I can escape from the law.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 64. What is the invisible church?

  Question 64. What is the invisible church? Answer. The invisible church is the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will be gathered together in the future under Christ, the head. In the catechism, the doctrine states that the invisible church is "the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will gather together in the future under Christ, the head," so it can be understood as those who make heaven in Christ. However, the invisible church can be said to be an invisible church community, but this was only used as a means to divide the visible church and the invisible church, and dividing them into visible and invisible is not biblical. The church is the church of the saints, and the church community is the gathering of the saints. The expression "true member" is also ambiguous.

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...
