The person that are called and that are chosen

The meaning of the person to be called is the person who comes to the church with the grace of God and believes in Jesus. But the faith did not come from God, he believed in himself. 『 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 』 ( Galatians 3:23) They are people who think they have been forgiven for the blood of Jesus who died on the cross. But he isn't chosen unless he is born again. If you aren ’ t chosen, you can't enter the kingdom of God. Those who are chosen are those who are born by water and the Holy Spirit. The person that born again believes that the flesh from the parents died with Jesus. The expression of being dead is baptism. 『 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life . 』 (Romans 6:4) God make resurrects the persons(Those who believe in his mind...

The worship

  The worship is the mind to give self to God. In Old Testament times, sacrifice was offered by the death of animals in worship. The death of an animal is same as the death of a sinner. In the New Testament times, Jesus Christ died on the cross. So sinners believe that they died together on the cross. 『 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless 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. 』 (Galatians 2:20) The worship is the mind to confirm that Jesus died with the cross and move on to a new life. 『 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life . 』 (Romans 6:4) The worship is the ritual an extension of baptism, is an extension of the sacrament. 『 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, t...

The covenant

The first covenant of God and man is done in the Garden of Eden. 『 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 』 (Genesis 2:17) They must eat the fruit of the tree of life, and keep spiritual being. God had brought them out of the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve broke the covenant. God made a new covenant. 『 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 』 (Genesis 3:15), God destroyed the people except the eight by the flood because the people were corrupt again. God made a covenant with Abraham. He said he would give the promised land and promised seed. So, God say to Abraham obey. Circumcision means having a descendant of a promise. The descendants of the promise is Jesus Christ. The last is a covenant of blood through the cross of Jesus Christ. 『 Likewise also the cup afte...

God's image

  『 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 』 (Genesis 1:27) The image of God is the spirit. The image of God is not the state of mind, but the spirit is the light of God that God give to living soul. Adam was born of the state of living soul in the world. The spirit was dead. So, God put Adam in the Garden of Eden and changed the dead spirit to the living spirit. The Garden of Eden represents the kingdom of God. But Eve was born in the Garden of Eden. The image(spirit) of God were dead when human beings are born in the world already. The spirit was trapped in soil because of the crime in the kingdom of God, so the spirit was dead. The fresh must be reborn as a spiritual body in order to save the spirit while the body is still alive. The spiritual body is one as the same angel in the kingdom of God. The flesh received from the parents must die with Jesus on the cross to be reborn as a spiritual body. ...

The earth and the kingdom of God

  The kingdom of God is the place where the people of God enter when the body dies. But we can meet the kingdom of God in a living state. 『 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 』 (1 Corinthians 3:16) This has two meanings. The first, those who died on the cross with Jesus are born again with spiritual power through the power of the Holy Spirit. The spiritual body is called the kingdom of God. It can not be seen by the eyes of the physical body. The second, Those who are reborn with a spiritual body are called saints. It is connected by the Holy Spirit between the Saints and the another Saint. So it is said that The power of the kingdom of God is revealed when the Saints gather together more than two people. 『 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 』 (Matthew 18:20) The power of kingdom of God is not a place, but a concept of the situation in which the Spirit ...

The meaning of Garden of Eden

  What character is Adam that is created for the first time in the world? 『 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 』 (Genesis2:7) Soul is Pshuke in Greek. It is usually translated to breath, vitality, mind, mind, and so on. But soul is not spirit. Adam who is made by clay and is not a spiritual being, but a soul. God did not put the spirit into the clay, but he gave the energy of life. So the shape of the soil became living being. God puts the Spirit into living living in Eden . 『 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 』 (Genesis 2:8) In the Garden of Eden, man became a spiritual being as the image of God because he ate the fruit of the tree of life. The spiritual being is one with God in the Holy Spirit. Although he is a spiritual being, God makes a covenant with him. 『 But of the tree of the knowledge of...

The circumcision

『 This is my covenant , which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 』 (Genesis 17:10-11), 『 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant . 』 (Genesis 17:13). This was a testament of the people of God in the Old Testament times. Circumcision is a ceremony in which an old man dies and becomes a covenant people of God, 『 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 』 (Isaiah 52:1) God also calls to the Israelites must to be circumcised in the mind. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to lo...
