The redemption

3) The redemption 『and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.』(Romans 3:24) Many church people do not know the meaning of the preceding sentence. They believe to be justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Christian say『if you believe Jesus, you will be saved from the Judgment of God.』It is false. It is the believing in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, you can be saved, but If you believe Jesus, you will not be saved from God. The sentence between『You believe Jesus』and『you believe in Jesus』are different. The word that I believe in Jesus means to be one with Jesus. It is seems to be slaves of Jesus, because Jesus paid Satan price of blood to buy Satan’s slaves. This is the redemption. Every man is a slave to Satan. So it is said to be a slave of sin. Sinner against God becomes free from sin through the redemption when a sinner is redeemed. Persons are redeemed by Jesus will be born again. The life of the born again means the change from life in jail to be life to the royal Palace. This is a spiritual story. This is an amazing thing. So those who are born again take off their prisoners, change into good clothes, and enter the palace. However, even if they think we are born again, they can not enter the kingdom if does not take off their prisoner's clothes. Prisoner's clothes is a symbol representing disobedience to God. Prisoner's clothes means greed heart of man. Prisoner's clothes symbolizes the mind that wants to be like God. This is hiding in everyone's mind. People can not remove this on their own. God's helping is needed to take off prisoner's clothes. You must put your prisoner's clothes on the dead body of Jesus who was died on the cross. This represents the thing to burial with the dead of Jesus. This is a baptism ritual. Baptism is the thing to be buried, not to get rid of sin. Peter say that『and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,』(Peter 3:21), Baptism is a burial. The apostle Paul said in Romans “that we were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4) Man must be judged by God at the death of the body because the spirit in the flesh had sinned against God in the kingdom of God, so it is to be evaluated whether it can go back to the kingdom of God. The spirit trapped in the body is asleep. The soul is replacing the spirit. The soul regards the prisoner’s clothing as his clothes. The soul has no desire to take off the prisoner's clothes. The soul does not want to know about God. The soul makes God for himself. In order to be saved from the wrath of God, one must remove the prisoner's clothing. Only the way of joining Jesus who died on the cross is the way to be saved. We must repent to God take off the prisoner's clothes. God is the God whom Jesus calls Father. If we are in Jesus, God become our father. We must bury the prisoner's clothes with Jesus who died on the cross. You must believe in Jesus and be baptized, to be saved from God.

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 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...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
