  Those who believe that there is a way to salvation in all religions   In John 14:6 it says, “ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ” Based on these words, there is no way of salvation except through the cross of Jesus Christ. The Christian church uses the word salvation. We must understand the meaning of salvation. Salvation is being delivered from the danger of death. It is God's deliverance of repentant sinners. So, God transforms repentant sinners into righteous people so that they can return to the kingdom of God. The meaning of repentance is important here. The people of the church in this world only think of sins committed in the world. So, church members confess their sins in the world and say they repent to God. However, since they believe that they are inevitably sinning every day, they struggle daily to avoid sinning in the light of the law. When they commit a sin, they immediately confess a...

  It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless.   http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =     John 6:63 “ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ” That is, the spirit is dead. That is why Jesus is saying that we must live the spirit. A person's identity is the mind, not the body. In the heart, there are a heart that comes from the flesh and a heart that comes from the spirit. Romans 8:5 says, “ For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. ” Those whose spirit is dead follow the body. So what must we do to follow the Spirit? Romans 8:4 says, “ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ” The requirement of the law is what the law says in 8:3, “ For what the law could not do, in that it wa...

  Galatians 2:21 『 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. 』 There is a view in which the Jews look at the Gentiles and there is a view in which the Gentiles look at the Jews. First, if we look at the Jewish perspective, it appears well in Deuteronomy 7:1-4. 『 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;   And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.   For they will turn away thy son from...

  Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =     (Matthew 26:14-16) Then one of the twelve, called   Judas   Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,   And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.   And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. Judas Iscariot sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver from the priest. He became a disciple of Jesus, but he betrayed Jesus and sold him to the Jewish leaders. Why did Judas Iscariot, a disciple of Jesus, sell Jesus? We can see that Judas Iscariot was chosen as one of the twelve, but unlike his other disciples, he did not use the title Lord for Jesus, but instead called Jesus Rabbi, and did not recognize him as more than a teacher. So he had no faith in Jesus. As we can see in John 12:5-6, Judas was possessed by greed to the point of betra...

  Every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Matthew 7:24-29) 『 Therefore 』 refers to the latter through the previous story. The preceding words were "Many will say to me in that ...

  Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   (Luke 12: 2-7) For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.   Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.   But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. It highlights the fact that God created humans, "you are more valuable than many sparrows." Many chu...

  Rock was Christ http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   (1 Corinthians 10:1-4) Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;   And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat;   And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. For the Hebrews to leave Egypt and enter Canaan, they had to cross the Red Sea and the Jordan River. These two crossings were almost impossible at the time. The Corinthian Church was a church with gifts, but Chapter 1 said that the message of the cross is the power of God. And the Bible said that the way of the cross seems foolish to those who perish. Even today, believers seek the Holy Spirit, but if they think foolishly about the way of the cross, they will go beyond the core of salvation. This...
