Two beings and phenomena that appear in the heart of a saint

 

A saint is someone who died on the cross with Jesus Christ and was resurrected with him, and a temple is built in his heart. So ultimately, salvation is the establishment of the kingdom of God in the heart. To express this, the Bible is expressed graphically, poetically, and in fantastical stories from Genesis to Revelation.

 

When a believer is saved in Jesus Christ, the new temple and the old temple, the kingdom of God, coexist in the believer's heart. This continues until the body dies. This is a spiritual battle.

 

The creation of the world begins with the first man, Adam, and the end of the world begins with the last man, Adam. In this, the people of God continue to fight spiritually.

 

The two beings in the saints' hearts can be expressed as follows.

Old and New Testament, the first man Adam and the last man Adam, the old man and the new man, the law of Moses and the law of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the tree of good and evil and the fruit of life, the daughters of men and the sons of God, Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Sarah and Hagar, Esau and Jacob, water under the firmament, water above the firmament, cross and resurrection, goats and sheep, old temple and new temple, Egypt and Canaan, world and God's kingdom, earth and sky, becoming like God, becoming one with God, body and soul, old heaven and new heaven, old earth and new earth, hell and heaven, sin and grace, water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism, cherubim and flaming swords, clean and unclean animals, water and wine, wine and bread, angels descending and angels ascending. , the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament and the two commandments of the New Testament, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, Pharaoh and Moses, Moses and Joshua, Jacob and Israel, the first death and the second death, the temple courtyard and the sanctuary, and many other things can be contrasted. Some of these appear historically, but others are expressed figuratively. However, they exist and influence spiritually in the hearts of believers.

 

So salvation is a fight over where the identity of existence lies. The Bible tells us to be alert, to focus our minds, and not to get mixed up.

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...
