Not All They Obey the Gospel

  Not All They Obey the Gospel (Romans 10:14-21) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?   And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!   But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?   So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.   But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.   But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.   But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not...

I am crucified with Christ

    I am crucified with   Christ   (Galatians 2:20-21) 『   I am crucified with   Christ : nevertheless I live; yet not I, but   Christ   liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.   I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then   Christ   is dead in vain. 』 The Jews had the idea of ​​ God's chosen people, and they thought they were not sinners because they kept the law well. So when you look at the Gentiles, you think they are sinners. It was considered against the law for Jews to associate with Gentiles. Likewise, the Gentiles deliberately shunned the Jews because they knew the law generally. However, the Jews preached the gospel of God to the Gentiles. In a vision, Peter saw an unclean animal coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloth. Unclean animals symbolize strangers. And God appeared to Cornel...

If we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him

  If we be dead with  Christ , we believe that we shall also live with him   (Romans 6:8-11) Now if we be dead with  Christ , we believe that we shall also live with him:Knowing that  Christ  being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.   For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.   Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through  Jesus Christ  our Lord.   Regarding sin, only those who died on the cross with Jesus are truly united with Jesus. In other words, one who is not dead to sin cannot be said to be united with Jesus. Jesus made us realize how to solve the problem of sin. It is the fact that, when we died with Jesus, for sins, the saints died once and for all on the cross of Jesus. Romans 6:7 clearly states that the dead are freed from sin. If you do not die with Jesus, your sins are still the...

The revelation of Jesus Christ.

  The revelation of Jesus Christ.   Galatians 1:11-12 『 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.   For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 』 The gospel is a revelation of Christ, not a man's will. It is not another gospel that has been secretly secretly entered by those who have true freedom in Christ, but it is revealed by Christ directly. The other gospel is to follow the words of the legalists. In the end, they say that they believe in Jesus, but if they follow the law, they will be cursed. Those who are in Jesus Christ have life, but under the law they are cursed. In Galatians 1:8, ``But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 』 There are also two kinds of believers in the church. There are believers who believe in Jesus but think that they must obey the law so th...

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

(Philippians 2:12-14) 『 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.   For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.   Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 』 Here's what's facing each other. From God's point of view, 『 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 』 For those who believe, 『 ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 』 Many churches today do not say these two words, but say, "If you have faith, you will be saved." The word salvation is used in several places in the Bible that healing is also salvation. However, the Bible says, “ Work out your salvation with fear and trembling ” regarding the salvation of the spirit. Salvation in the Bible and the actions of...

I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead

  I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead   John 11:25-27 『   Jesus  said unto her,  I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the  Christ , the Son of God, which should come into the world. 』 In a poor town called Bethany, a man named Lazarus died. Then Martha, Lazarus' sister, came to Jesus. Jesus said to Martha, “ Thy brother shall rise again, ” and in verse 24, Martha said, “ I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ” Jesus is speaking of a present resurrection, and Martha is responding to a future resurrection. "What Jesus said" means "He was spiritually dead before, but he comes to life, and because the spirit is raised, he goes forth to the resurrection of life." It means that yo...
