The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (1 Thessalonians 5:25-28) “ Pray for us, brothers. ” The apostle Paul asked the Saints in Thessalonica Church to pray for him and his co-workers Siluano and Timothy. And 『 Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss ” indicates the need for intimate love between saints. It's not about meeting each other, sharing the world, and strengthening the relationship, it's about encouraging each other against Satan's attacks.   『 all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren 』 The Saints should be read to understand Paul's intentions. If he delivers the letter, there will definitely be some who do not read it. The saint must understand and understand what the Bible says to understand ...

The inheritance of the saints in light

(Colossians 1:1-12) 『 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,   Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,   For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;   Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.   For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye m...

The Lord is Christ

(Colossians 2:6-7) 『 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 』 The word Christ is Lord is used in the Bible "two meanings." The word “ Jehovah is also translated the Lord " or the "Master". So it comes out mixed. Here, it means that the Lord is the Master, not the Lord. The Bible says it is our Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus becomes our master, the work of Christ begins. God buys "the repentant" at the cost of Christ, "makes Jesus Lord," and forgives sin. "buying a sinner" is redemption. In Colossians 1:13-14 『 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:   In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 』 Redemption means "God bought a sinner." Buy and wash away sins. In Acts ...

The circumcision of Christ

『 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:   In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 』 (Colossians 2:8-12) Here, philosophy does not mean the philosophy of the world, but the idea of the law of the Jews. At the time the Apostle Paul was active, the Jews had three Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes, which they claim. The apostle Paul said these are "philosophy, vain deception, human inheritance, and the world's elementary school." The inheritance of man means the inheritance of...

He quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses

『 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;   Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;   And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 』 (Colossians 2:13-15) The Apostle Paul describes circumcision from the Old Testament in Colossians in connection with Christ. He said that Christ's circumcision is to take off the bodies of fleshly sins. Undressing means death in the Bible. When a person takes off the tabernacle of the flesh, he must wear the tabernacle in heaven. That is salvation. Christ's circumcision is to shed the old man. It means the death of an old man. And he said, ``Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead...

The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden

『 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 』 (Genesis 2:8-9) God made man out of the soil of the earth and breathed life into his nose, making him a man. This man is Adam, and the spirit that sinned in the kingdom of God is a living creature that has entered the soil. So, the spirits who have sinned in the kingdom of God follow Adam and enter into the world-born creatures and become humans. When spirits who have sinned in the kingdom of God enter the soil, the spirit dies and becomes a soul. Because the spirit is locked up, the relationship with God is broken. So the Bible says, "The spirit is dead." God bless the dead spirit to survive. That is the Garden of Eden. God brought Adam to the Garden of Eden to eat the f...
