whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33)

These words are identical to the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. The five wise virgins went to the wedding feast, but the five foolish virgins could not. The five foolish virgins admitted to Jesus in front of people. But she said, "Jesus, I don't know you," she said. She claims that the five virgins only know Jesus. The reason Jesus comes again is "He comes to take those who are waiting for him." So, you know who Jesus will take. The five foolish virgins are not the ones to take.

The focus is not on what the five foolish virgins are thinking and what Jesus is saying. The word ``Awake'' means that the cover of the law has been removed and you must know Jesus Christ. These words of the Bible apply to everyone, but they are actually speaking to Israel. It points to what is still under the law. The five foolish virgins are "I don't know Jesus Christ" under the law.

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law," said the Apostle Paul in Galatians 4:4. Jesus came into the world to redeem those who are under the law. By the way, what is still under the law is to deny what Jesus did. The reason Jesus said to those who exercised great power, "You who practice lawlessness," means that "the law applied is not correct" to those who practice the law and also exercise power in Jesus' name.

Those who practice the law must apply it by the law, and those who believe in Jesus must apply the law of the Holy Spirit. However, it is illegal because those who do the law try to be subject to the law of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is talking about "the one who practices lawlessness." And he is unlawful against the law because he fails to keep the law even to those to whom it applies. If you believe in Jesus and try to obey the law, you will be the one who does the lawlessness that Jesus speaks of, and you are not the one that God acknowledges.

To escape from the law, we must die to the law with Jesus Christ on the cross. To die with Jesus on the cross is to die for the law, for sin, and for the world. Everything that appears, including in the flesh, must die with Jesus. And just as Jesus lived in three days, those who are in Jesus Christ are reborn in a new life coming down from heaven. It is not under the law, but under the law of the Holy Spirit. It is to say, "The one who is united with Jesus, who is in Jesus." The body under the law of the Holy Spirit is the body of the spirit. And, the body under the law is the body of the flesh. Therefore, believers must deny the physical body and live only with the spiritual body and guided by the Holy Spirit. The flesh received from his parents is currently alive, but the only way to control the flesh is to confess that he died with Jesus every day. There is no other way than to die on the cross with Jesus. This is the way and the life. There is no salvation other than dying on the cross with Jesus Christ.

Those who try to apply the law in this world do not have the Holy Spirit. Therefore, you must know exactly what the Bible says about the law. Those without the Holy Spirit are those whom Jesus does not know. Only those who are subject to the law of the Holy Spirit are the ones Jesus knows. Those who are subject to the law of the Holy Spirit must believe in "dying with Jesus and living with Jesus." However, it means that those who do not admit to dying are "not those who are united with Jesus." To believe in dying to the law, dying to sin, and dying to the world is to die on the cross in union with Jesus.

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 10: Is that enough?

Question 10: Is that enough? Answer: No. Although the saints have become holy in Jesus Christ, they still have the characteristics of the old man in their hearts. Therefore, the saints must fight and overcome the fleshly desires of the old man through spiritual growth. Carnal desires are a collection of roughly seven characteristics: physical nature, blood ties, experience and knowledge, thoughts and ideologies, religious beliefs, self-righteousness, and the desire for dominance. These desires develop and diminish as we grow, but they remain constant overall. However, because these carnal desires establish a hostile opposition to God, they hinder and torment the spiritual growth of believers.

  Question 82. What is the communion in glory that the members of the invisible church enjoy with Christ?   Answer.
