Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 2:8

People who fail forever, no matter who they are and no matter what time period they’re living in, fail forever because they don’t know Jesus. If people knew Heaven correctly, they will find the path that takes them to Heaven and go there. Jesus is the path/way, the truth, and the life that leads to Heaven.

This is the final chance. This is Jesus’ final expectation/hope for you. This is the final grace. Like the words in scriptures which say, “Grace will be given at the last days,” the grace is surely given. And at the time of the Last Days tribulations and suffering will occur. You must receive grace. Then you will overcome everything.

Read the things Jesus said in the bible carefully. Read them thinking they are words Jesus told each of you seriously and earnestly and see what happens.

When it comes to your sins, you must truly repent of them because you know your sins. If you repent, you will immediately get off the path of hell, and will walk the path of Heaven. When you sin, you sin because you are happy to do so. However, you don’t repent because you don’t like to do that.

Because you must not see Jesus like you see regular people, you must see Jesus by realizing in your hearts, by relying on faith, and through the word. Then Jesus will be visible.

Keeping Jesus’ words while living in this tough world is difficult. But keep them because Jesus’ words are life. Life may seem easy and light if you live not keeping Jesus’ words but afterwards you will regret forever.

Even if you live among crowds of people you are the same as a person living imprisoned if there is no one you connect with. Even if you live by yourself, if you live with Jesus, you are far happier and joyful than connecting with crowds of people. If people live with people because they feel lonely, all they become is physical people. Instead, live speaking with Jesus and connecting with him. Then the conversation will be eternal.

You must have the confidence that you will not go to hell. Then you will not go there. Your heart must be filled and overflowing with complete confidence that you will go to Heaven. Then you will go there. But if people don’t know Jesus, they will go to hell.

Take action with knowledge and speak with knowledge. Make sure you always check before taking action. If you take action without knowing, then all the hard work you’ve put in so far will become wasted and fly away/vanish. Ask Jesus, check completely, learn, and then take action. If you don’t know, you will fail again.

People live failing in their present and future because they don’t know Jesus. What is eternal success in life? Do you see momentary success in the physical life as a successful life? That glory is like a flower. Is momentary success a success? You must live having achieved eternal success, eternal victory.

Repent of your sins. Clean yourself every day. There is no time. You must live prepared lives completely every day. People are told to, “move out of the way,” because there is a way to avoid death. Knowing Jesus is the way to avoid death.

If you know Jesus, you will achieve eternal success no matter who you are. Then you will become people victorious with life. Also know about the person Jesus has sent.

Title: If You Don’t Know, You Will Be Destroyed

Scriptures:     Luke 17:27-30, Matthew 11:28-30. (Key point: Learn from me)

Man’s ignorance can be categorized into 3 categories.  First is the ignorance about the self; people live without knowledge of themselves. Second is the ignorance about others. Third is the ignorance of the Heavens which is about God and Jesus; spiritual ignorance.
First is about the ignorance about the self.

People don’t know what kind of people they are. They live without knowing whether they are good people or wicked people. In this way, people are living without knowledge about themselves, their minds, their hearts, and about their spirits. That is why human beings live meaningless and unfulfilled lives and live as things happen.

Human beings became distant from God because of the Fall and a host of other sins. Their relationship was broken and cannot connect with God. The wall of sin blocked the relationship between God and man. As a result of that people came to live in the domain of death. This is why people came to live lives without knowledge of themselves and lives steeped in ignorance.

What must man do in order to learn about themselves? They must believe in Jesus the Messiah, do according to His words, and get out of the domain of death by receiving salvation. They must connect with the Almighty and All-knowing God and Jesus. Man must be ruled by the Almighty God and Christ Jesus.
Second is about the ignorance of others.

This is ignorance about other people. Because people don’t know about themselves, they are even more ignorant about other people. That is why people misunderstand, hate, fight, and suffer.
Human beings live in unimaginable ignorance. That is why they live with worries about their future, worries about themselves, worries about others, worries about how the Lord will treat them, worries about the Heavens, and live with fear and insecurities.

When you look at the history of each nation in the world you’ll see that nations fought wars because of ignorance and caused their entire populations to suffer. From that time on they created various weapons, even created nuclear weapons, and built up their armed forces.

Third, is the ignorance about Heaven. This is called, “Spiritual ignorance/ignorance about spiritual matters.” Because of the Fall, man’s spirits, their minds, and their actions died.

Because of that human beings became ignorant about God and about the Messiah. They became ignorant about the spiritual world and became ignorant about God’s Providence toward man. They became ignorant about hell, destruction, and about salvation. Because of ignorance about these things, people end up going to hell and gnashing their teeth and suffering forever as a result of their sins because they don’t know to repent even after sinning.
