October 30^th 2011 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Roman 1:28-32, 2 Corinthians 6:2

God and Jesus predestined all human beings on the face of the earth to correctly believe in God and Jesus and receive salvation. However, people don’t believe because they don’t know, or people worship idols, or they deny the spiritual world even though they don’t know about it, or they live without believing in God and Jesus because they don’t like to.

The Lord opened up the path of salvation and keeps it open so that anyone who believes can obtain salvation. Furthermore, He is leading human beings to the path of life while continuously giving the Word according to the times. The rest is human responsibility. Even if a person reaches out, trying to pull out another person who has fallen into a trap, if the latter refuses to hold onto the hand of the person saving them, they cannot come out of the pit.

Our own free will sends our spirit either to Hell or to Heaven. It’s not that God the Creator and Jesus the Savior send our spirits to Hell. Whoever it may be, every single person who goes to Hell, goes to Hell because they have lived according to their own will and preferences—because they liked it that way—not believing in and following God and Jesus and not listening to the Lord’s Word and acting upon it.

God first calls us to come before Him and Jesus through a worker. And He opens up the path of Heaven before each one of us. Then we have to make our own spirit perfect by believing in God and Jesus and by taking righteous actions according to the Word. Once we make our spirit perfect through the deeds of our body, our spirit can go to Heaven. This is God’s law.

In order to believe in God and Jesus sincerely and perfectly and receive a perfect salvation:

First, you yourself have to be truly willing to believe. You have to know that salvation is absolutely necessary and you must strive to be saved. You should listen to the perfect Word of the time period that God and Jesus speak through the person God sent for the time period, and you should believe it, make it your joy to put the Lord’s Word into practice, and take action with all your heart, will, and life. In other words, you yourself have to complete the responsibility of believing, following, and taking action.

Second, the leaders must teach people about God and Jesus properly, manage people, and guide them. Those who take care of lives need to manage and guide them well, as if taking care of a child’s life. In other words, those who evangelize, manage, and teach must do their responsibility.

You have to walk the path of Heaven with all your heart, will, and life. If you walk the path while doing everything that you like and all that you want, you will not have a successful journey. Since you have been called into the greatest history of the gospel of this time period, think that this is your last chance and save your spirit, as if you are saving your body from imminent death, so that your spirit will exist eternally. There is no greater task than the work of saving your life. There are truly many things that a person has to do after being born into the world, but there is one thing that must be done above all things, and that is to save your body and spirit.

As for me, more than eating, wearing clothes, sleeping, or learning any other things, I first served God, believed in and loved the Lord, and took action according to the Lord’s Word. I perceived that my fate hung on these things and I took them as my food, clothing, and housing. Ultimately, the physical issues of food, clothing, and housing became resolved, and the issue of salvation, that is, saving my body and spirit, were also resolved. Furthermore, I became the Lord’s worker who brings countless people to salvation throughout the world.

According to modern science, the origin of the Universe is known to be 13.7 billion years ago. It took billions of years just for plants to come into existence on earth. Everyone knows this as common sense. Why do you think God created the Universe first, then created the Solar System, then created the Earth, and then made all the creations on the Earth? It was to create ‘human beings’ upon that foundation. So then, do you think He invested over thirteen billion years to create the Universe, the Earth, and all the creations just to make human beings and have them live for only a hundred years and then die?

God created all things for the following purpose: During the hundred years of life on earth, the human body obtains salvation by believing in God and Jesus truly and perfectly. The ‘body’ lives on earth together with God and Jesus according to Heaven’s Will. Furthermore, according to the deeds of the body, the human ‘spirit’ also receives salvation, goes to the Kingdom of God, and lives with Him forever. This is the purpose for which God created all things.
