November 20^th 2011 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Psalm 100:1-5, Psalm 136:25-26

We should give thanks to God who created the heavens and the earth and human beings. And we should give thanks to God who created the sun, wind, air, rain, and seasons. We must give thanks to God who, by doing so, enables us to harvest and eat the crops that have been grown.

When it comes to ‘thanksgiving,’ it cannot be done and finished like a one day event. When a man and a woman get married and live together, if they set one day out of the whole year as a day of love and love each other only on that day, they won’t be able to live a life of love.

At the predawn of every single day, I offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God without missing a day. This is the first prayer I offer each day. I pray, saying, “Thank you, God, for creating the Universe, the Solar System, the Earth, and all the creations so that human beings can live. Thank you for creating human beings upon that foundation and thank you for creating me and for creating the spirit that lives eternally.” I also pray and worship, expressing my gratitude that God started the Complete Testament history, thus enabling us to fulfill the Physical Rapture, and that He works upon us so that we can fulfill the Spiritual Rapture accordingly.”

God and Jesus want human beings to give thanks, love, and take action to the point that they please God’s and Jesus’ hearts. You must not lead your life of faith at a level where only you are satisfied and thankful. You have to climb up to a level of faith that God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, who have done everything for you, will be satisfied with. If you love and give thanks to God and Jesus and take action at a level that only pleases you, you will be unable to escape the ground level.

One time, I gave thanks to the Lord so much that it astounded Him. Then, after that, the Lord astounded me in return. Astonished by Him, I again made an offering to the Lord with a grateful heart. So I came to live a life of dedication to the Lord. In my life of faith also, as I believed in the Lord while training myself so intensely to the point that it amazed the Lord, I came to be entrusted with an amazing mission. Whether it is believing in and loving God and Jesus, whether it is knowing and realizing Their Word, whether it is putting the Word to practice, or whether it is leading a life of thanksgiving, you have to do it to the point the Lord will be amazed and satisfied.

When celebrating Thanksgiving, there is Thanksgiving for the physical harvest, and there is Thanksgiving for the spiritual harvest also. As we grow the crops of faith, the Holy Trinity has been the sunshine, the air, the rain of grace, and the warm temperature of the Holy Spirit for us. The Trinity has enabled us to wear clothes of righteousness and has given us spiritual food. Therefore, our body and spirit have eaten and put on the things that God of the Trinity provided, we received His protection, and thus we did not die into the domain of death. Instead, we have had a year of abundant harvest in our spiritual farming of faith. We should give thanks for this.

Since most of us are not farmers who grow crops, the Lord spoke to us about the ‘farming of faith’ and enlightened us about the meaning of thanksgiving. I hope that you will realize the meaning of Thanksgiving and be thankful that your physical body has food to eat. Also, I hope that you will celebrate Thanksgiving while giving thanks that your spirit has also had a bountiful harvest in terms of faith and in the spirit, because God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus have been with you and because the Teacher has also worked hard for you.

November 16^th 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Luke 17:12-19, Galatians 6:7-8, Psalms 100:1-5

Everyone desires to prosper and thrive. With that hope, they work hard towards a goal that they’ve set. However, if you want to receive grand blessings and miraculous blessings, you have to give thanks to the omnipotent and omniscient God and Jesus unsparingly.

In Luke 17:12-19, it is written that Jesus healed ten men who had leprosy at one place. But only one of them thanked Jesus. It is the same with people of this time period. They plead with Jesus, saying that if Jesus would only heal their diseases, they would do anything and everything for the Lord and live only for Him their entire lives. However, even if they are healed by Jesus, many of them don’t actually thank Him.

Galatians 6:7-8. If we sow on the earth, we will reap what belongs to the earth, and if we sow in Heaven, we will reap what comes from the Heavenly Father God. God rewards human beings a hundred or three hundred times what they have done.

Whatever you do, you have to do it until the end. When you run a 100m race, you have to run to the end of the 100m to achieve victory. You receive blessings during the process, too, but you can receive the reward for all the hard effort that you put in only when you do it to the end. By the way, even if you don’t receive a reward, you must do what you must do for Heaven.

Even from before starting Providence history, the Lord said to me, “My blessing for your work and thanksgiving will not be given only in the form of materials. If I give all the blessings only in the form of materials or wealth, you will be unable to make the history of faith properly and you will be unable to spread My history properly because you will be too busy running and managing businesses with the wealth you’ve been blessed with, just like ‘that’ religion does. You will end like that. As a result, history will end up becoming physical, and consequently, you will be unable to receive the blessings of faith.”

A person wealthy in money ends after having enjoyed those things only in this world. But those who have been blessed with faith don’t fall into the physical side but fall into salvation, in a more ideal and safer way, and thus they come to enjoy eternal blessings.

Even if a woman doesn’t have money until she grows up, it’s alright if she takes care of herself well and meets a good man of means. The Lord is our Bridegroom, so it is the best if we grow and adorn ourselves well as brides, and receive the Lord properly and if after meeting Him, we live without getting divorced. What the Lord hates the most is His bride falling into physical things. He wants us His brides to live a life in which we only adorn ourselves perfectly as brides and live with Him loving Him passionately and serving Him.

The Lord says, “Quickly listen to the Word of the time period, take action perfectly, and transform your spirit through the deeds of your body and just make your spirit go to Heaven.” When we go to Heaven, the Lord who is our Bridegroom will give us so much that we have to use them for eternity. The houses in Heaven are not built with rocks, steel, wood, or cement. They are built to be used eternally.

My parents didn’t have possessions to give to me, so all I received from my parents was blessing prayers of faith. The inheritance of faith has become the inheritance of Heaven. Even if various religions and denominations boast of buildings and structures, I don’t envy them. It’s because the skyscrapers in Heaven that the Lord has prepared for me are constructed so large that it would take a long time to look around them even in spirit. Compared to those buildings in Heaven, the buildings of the world are nothing more than thatched-roof houses.

November 20^th 2011: The Holy Communion Sunday Service Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Luke 22: 14-22

God chose the Israelites out of all the people on the face of the Earth and God had them believe in Him first before all others. God sent His Son, therefore, to Israel. God’s Son came to this earth as the Messiah using the physical body of ‘Jesus.’ The purpose for which God sent the Messiah to the earth was this: the gospel would spread out to all nations of the world, starting from Israel, so that all human beings would come to believe in God and the Savior whom God sent, and receive salvation. Therefore, the Israelites lived with more pride than any other nations, as the believers of God.

God began saving the Israelites through Jesus. However, the Israelites thought that God would come directly and visibly. Instead, God came using Jesus’ body. Even if God, Himself, comes, God is spirit, so He cannot communicate with people. For this reason, God sent His Holy Son and had Him appear to people through the body of Jesus. People are flesh, therefore, God, who is a spirit, had to speak and take action through Jesus’ physical body. Only in this way could God freely communicate, lead, guide, and save those lives.

At the time of Moses, God came through Moses, and at the time of the prophets, God came through the prophets. In the same way, Jesus came to the earth as promised by God. The Holy Son of God Himself appeared in the flesh. However, Jesus is different from Moses and the prophets. It was the Holy Son and the King of kings that came in the body of Jesus. The Holy Son came to this world through the flesh. He came to save all of humanity.

However, the Jews didn’t understand the prophecies of the Bible, and they rejected Jesus and persecuted Him. They treated Him as a sinner. The Jews opposed the followers of Jesus, beat them, slandered them, and fiercely persecuted them. The Jews wanted to kill Jesus and get rid of him to the end. They were the very people, who had waited for God to come so earnestly, but they were ignorant and their hearts were hardened. So they were evil in thoughts and actions.

God’s spirit came through Jesus’ body, but the Israelites who were chosen by God rejected Jesus and didn’t believe in Him until the very end. They all should have believed and followed Him, but the generation was ignorant and evil. So the original will of salvation that God had wanted was not fulfilled. To make it worse, it was the very core believers of God who persecuted Jesus out of ignorance. As a result, even though a small group of people believed in and followed Jesus, the Will of God for that time period had already turned in a different direction. Because they persecuted the Messiah that God sent, they all became sinners.

Because the generation was wicked and it slandered and persecuted the Lord, the path of the Lord inevitably changed to the path of agony. The situation was such that, if those who rejected Jesus had been left alone, they wouldn’t be able to receive salvation and they wouldn’t be able to avoid judgment and destruction because they would neither admit their deeds to be sinful nor repent of them. Jerusalem degenerated into a place of sin and evil. Jesus knew that if they had been left on their own, they would all be judged and destroyed. So in order to save everyone He chose to go back to Jerusalem.

The only way to save sinners is for the Savior to bear their guilt on behalf of them. The Savior could save them only by dying on behalf of them. One party must die for the other party to live. Only the Messiah, who is capable of redeeming all sins, could die for the sins of all humanity and bring the sinners to life.

Jesus went back to Jerusalem, and on the day of the Passover, He called the disciples together and told them, “Let’s observe Passover together.” He instructed them to prepare a place for it. Actually, Jesus’ purpose was not to observe the Passover. His purpose was to meet with His disciples for the last time. That place they gathered in on that day was the place for bidding farewell to Jesus. It was the night when Jesus would leave His last will and testament to the disciples. It was the last time for them to see Jesus in this world before the evildoers came and took Him away that night. But the disciples didn’t know it clearly.

Afterward, around midnight of that day, Jesus was arrested and taken by the crowd sent by the high priests, teachers of the law, and elders. The next day, around 3 o’clock in the morning, after the high priests discussed with the elders and teachers of the law, they bound Jesus and handed Him over to Pilate. Jesus stood in that merciless court. What they were doing was actually treating God in the same exact way. It was truly an ignorant and evil generation. Eventually, Jesus carried the cross to Golgotha and surrendered His body to redeem the sins of the generation, the sins of humanity and to save them, as well as for the sake of the people who were saved by following Jesus.

Jesus could have chosen to avoid death as much as He wanted. However, instead of going to where He was welcomed, the Lord chose to take the path of the cross. Because the generation had already sinned and the situation had turned in the direction of evil, they would perish and could not be saved unless the Messiah took the path of the cross. The only way to save them was for the Messiah to die for them.

Satan uses the ignorant and the evil ones to block the history of salvation. Those people eventually end up in hell with Satan. However, can Satan, evildoers, and persecutors make up for the losses they inflicted on the history of salvation just by entering Hell? Even if they go to Hell according to their deeds of inflicting losses on the history of salvation, the losses that the righteous have suffered cannot be recovered. Therefore, we must not suffer losses but instead fight against the devils and defeat them. We must fight against the evil with good and defeat them and, in this way, we must not be harmed.

Jesus resurrected as a spirit in three days, showed Himself to the disciples, and ascended to the heavens, leaving a promise that He would come again. When He said He would come again, He was referring to the time of the Advent. Now, as He promised, the Lord has come again. He is a spirit, so He has come in spirit. As a spirit, the Lord has come to the center of the New Testament history. Because He speaks and takes action in spirit through a person in the flesh on earth, only those who know this believe and follow.

November 9^th 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: John 5:25, James 2:26

Whether their soul and spirit are living or dead, there are people who know and there are people who don’t know. Please check whether your soul and spirit are living or dead as you listen to the Word.

If your soul and spirit are dead:

You live according to your physical nature, so you feel miserable, lonely, and desolate in the heart. Even when you listen to the Word, the Word does not penetrate your heart fierily. In your daily life also, the Lord’s thoughts don’t come to you clearly. You don’t really know what to do in your place of mission. In your heart, worldly thoughts always surge like waves. You don’t really think of the Lord. You can’t pray well. You don’t really sing praises, either. You tend to give up on yourself. You lose motivation. You don’t feel hopeful but you get disappointed. You feel agonized, become irritable, and also become angry. Your physical nature becomes strong, so you think only of yourself. Since your soul and spirit are dead, your spirit doesn’t function properly. As a result, sadness floods into your heart, making your heart like a funeral house and making you feel your life is lonely.

Since your soul is dead, both your body and spirit only sleep. You don’t feel like going to church. You only keep sleeping. You always end up doing miscellaneous things only. Your thoughts are not bright. You lose desire to take action. You become idle. You are not busy but just waste your time. You just watch TV often and use your time physically. You spend time watching the things that grab your attention on the internet and you spend time doing things that are not really necessary. You are unable to keep the time that you promised to the Lord. Even if you go to the church, you are not on time and you go to church mindlessly. You live your life just according to the way things flow, and just according to the situation and environment.

As for me, because my soul and spirit were dead, and therefore could not function, I couldn’t keep the time that I promised to the Lord, I couldn’t pray deeply, the Lord’s words stopped coming, I lacked wisdom, so I realized only at my own level the things that I normally knew, and the rhythm of my daily life and my spiritual rhythm were broken. I felt miserable in my heart and in the spirit; and I saw the things of reality reflected in my dreams. I wasn’t busy but I was bored with time. I had spare time since the Lord wasn’t giving me the Word. I realized, ‘If our soul and spirit are dead, we don’t transform and we aren’t busy, either.’

A person whose soul is alive is very busy because the Lord uses their body. Changes take place. But people whose soul is dead tend to spend and use time only for personal matters because their soul is dead. Their own thoughts dominate and their physical nature becomes strong. Satan comes with an intention to live next to them permanently. Additionally, such people’s thoughts and deeds in their daily lives stay at a physical level. This is when ‘you are dead even though you have a reputation of being alive.’

If our soul and spirit come to life, we can immediately receive the Lord’s Word in the heart. This is the same as a light turning on and shining brightly as soon as its severed cord is reconnected. If the soul and spirit are dead, time just passes by while you are unable to transform. Spiritual death is like sleep.

Those of you who are dead in the mind, heart, thoughts, and spirit must now all come to life. The soul and spirit must come to life in order for the transformation of the spirit, mind, and actions to take place. Only then will you be able to do the Lord’s work properly at this final portion of the year, fulfill a great history, and conclude this year well.

The Lord says, “You who are asleep, come to life from among the dead.” When the soul and spirit come to life, the body starts taking action. I encourage all of you to pray so that your soul and spirit will come to life. I, myself, prayed. When I prayed deeply, my heart and soul began to gradually come to life. If you pray for three days or for a week, your heart and spirit will receive strength and arise, just as a sick person gets up after taking medicine. Once you come to life, the Lord’s ideas and methods will come to mind whatever you may do.

November 6th 2011 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Revelation 3:1-6

Today, we will hear the Word about those who communicate with the Lord having come to life
in the heart, thought, soul, and spirit, and about those who are dead. When you listen to this
Word, you will be able to tell whether your soul and spirit are living or dead.

A person whose heart and spirit are dead is like one whose body is asleep. So they cannot
communicate with the Lord and take action together with Him. As a result, they are unable
to fulfill the Lord’s Will. Even if their heart and spirit are dead, they still do the Lord’s work.
However, they do the work according to their own thoughts and physical nature.

If your heart and thoughts are alive, even at the moment you are not praying, the Lord’s thoughts
come to your heart clearly in all situations. Therefore, high level methods, thoughts, and deeds
come to your mind and the Lord’s thoughts are conveyed to you so clearly that you, yourselves,
are astonished.

On the day I wrote this message, during the predawn prayer, I prayed for Providence and
everyone around the world for two hours, and I prayed for my heart and spirit for two hours.
I prayed asking the Lord to make my heart and spirit come to life even more. I prayed to the
Lord, “Recently, I haven’t been able to converse with You well. I think my soul and spirit are
dead. Please revive them!” I prayed and said that the reason why the Lord’s Word didn’t come to
me well and why my heart felt a lot of weight was that my soul and spirit were dead

When I finished praying deeply, asking the Lord to revive my heart and spirit, my spirit came
to life as a result of the prayer, and I could see a scene from the spiritual world. I saw a lifeless
swan. Many people only spoke about it saying, “The swan is dead,” while making no efforts to
save it. They were just busy with their own work. But I said that the swan had to be saved, and I
brought it into my room. One third of the swan’s body had turned blue and it had lost much of its
hair. When I saw its condition, I also said that the swan was completely dead.

So I prayed continuously for a few hours holding onto the swan. Then the swan started to
wriggle. When I prayed for it for a long time, it ultimately came back to life. When the swan
came back to life, it grew bigger and bigger and turned into a very white swan.

Next, I continued to walk around in the spiritual world. Suddenly, the swan began to transform
and it turned into a beautiful woman. It became a young woman in her twenties, wearing white
clothes. I walked behind her a short distance away. As the woman strutted displaying her
beautiful figure, a man became attracted to her and followed her around. The woman said to the
man, “I don’t like you. There is someone else who likes you. Why do you like me?” and she
argued with the man. The man tried to embrace her forcefully. But the woman rejected it, and
they got into a fight.

Even though the man was stronger than the woman, the woman ultimately tripped him and threw
him onto the floor. At that moment, another woman appeared and helped him. The swan lady

raised the man up and said, “The person who likes you has come. Look!” Then she grabbed
the man’s head and the woman’s head with each of her hands and bumped their heads together.
And she announced, “You two be fond of each other,” and she pressed their heads against each
other with her hands. Then the man’s head and the woman’s head became stuck to each other.
Afterward, she declared, “I have my own counterpart!” and walked away into a different world,
the world of light. With that, the scene faded.

After the scene disappeared, I prayed to the Lord and asked what the swan symbolized. The Lord
answered, “The swan is your heart; your mind; your soul; and your spirit. Because you prayed
asking Me to revive your soul and spirit, I revived them. The swan coming back to life represents
your heart, soul, and spirit coming back to life. As your soul and spirit came to life, you defeated
and ruled over Satan and you inflicted pain upon him. You came into the light as before and
began to communicate with Me again.” Since then, the thoughts of the Lord came to me one
after another. As I began to communicate with the Lord, I started to receive today’s message.

All of you should pray asking the Lord to revive your soul, heart, and mind. You should pray
asking Him to revive your spirit. Even when your heart and spirit are dead, you still do the
Lord’s work according to your physical nature. This is not working with the Lord. If your heart
and spirit are dead, even if you do the Lord’s work, you will do it at your own level. There are
so many people like this. Those of you with a dead heart of the body and a dead spirit are like
people who are asleep. Therefore, you have to pray and wake them up. You yourself have to do
it. If you pray for a few hours or a few days, you can bring your dead heart and spirit back to life
according to the power of your prayer.

For a full week, you should pray for your own soul, heart, and spirit and revive and resurrect
them. You must first revive your soul before doing the work. Then you can perform ten times or
twenty times more and make a great history. The Lord said that if you pray asking Him to revive
your soul, He would revive everyone’s heart and spirit just as I saw in the spiritual world.

If you take action having come alive in the soul, your love with the Lord will be set on fire, and
you will be set on fire in the truth and set on fire while working also. On the other hand if you
take action with a physical and human nature in a state where your soul is dead, your merit will
end as a physical merit. All of you should revive your soul first and then do the things you need
to do. Then a great history will take place.

Your spirit will come to life only when you pray for it. You really need to offer powerful
prayers. You have to first bring your spirit to life and then work. Only then will you work
according to the Lord’s Will and thus you will be able to conclude this year properly and well.

November 2^nd 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Matthew 22:1-10

1. In today’s main Scriptures, the Lord spoke using a parable. For the wedding banquet of his son, the king sent people to tell those who had been invited to come to the banquet. But all those who had been invited said that they couldn’t come because they were tied down to their lives. There were also those who even spoke ill of the messengers who invited them, and they slandered the messengers, beat them, and insulted them.

So those whom the king sent came back beaten and hurt; they returned alone with no guests. The King then sent his army and captured and destroyed those who treated his servants wickedly. Afterward, the king again sent messengers to invite anyone to the wedding banquet. He sent messengers and they invited anyone who wanted to come since there would be a wedding banquet for the King’s son. Then, many came to participate in the wedding banquet.

2. The people who had believed in God and waited for the Messiah to come before Jesus’ coming were the Jews. Once Jesus came, they were the very first ones to be called to the new history. The purpose was to invite those who had already been believing in God and hold a banquet of the Word, a banquet of salvation of joy and love, so that God could spread the history of salvation through His son, Jesus, who was like the son of the king.

However, the Jews did not come because they were caught up in their own thinking, the doctrine of Moses’ Law, the old time period, and their daily lives. The rest slandered Jesus calling Him a heretic, and they insulted and persecuted Him. God repaid them according to their deeds, and sent messengers again to invite anyone to participate in the history of salvation. God invited and called those who hadn’t believed in Him. God called others instead and held the wedding banquet of His salvation history with those who gladly came.

3. It is the same for this time period, the Complete Testament history.

Because the time arrived, the Lord came as ‘a spirit’ in this time period. Since He is a spirit, He is using a worthy person from the earth as His body, and through him the Lord is speaking the Word at a higher level according to the time period. The Lord has come to fulfill the Will that must be fulfilled by the body on earth in order to make the history of the Advent.

In order to receive the Lord’s Advent, you need to know how His Advent will be carried out and what you must do to receive it, and you have to live in a way that’s fitting of that level. When Jesus returns, He will come as the Bridegroom. So you have to listen to the Lord’s Word of the Complete Testament that is proclaimed at a higher level in this time period, and you should lead a life of faith in the position of a bride as the Lord’s counterpart of love.

Before our spirits rapture to Heaven at the time when the archangel blows the trumpet, first we must fulfill the First Rapture in which our bodies listen to the Word of the times and receive salvation while on earth. This is ‘the Physical Rapture.’ This is ‘the resurrection where our spirit and body come out from the domain of death into the domain of life.’ This must be done first.

‘The Rapture’ means that our spirit and body transform perfectly by listening to the Word of the times and taking action. It means to repent cleanly as the Lord wants and to love the Lord perfectly. It means that our body and spirit come out from the domain of death into the domain of life by listening to the Word of truth that the Lord preaches through the-man-of-mission whom He sent in this time period and our spirit transforms into the heavenly form of a bride according to the deeds of our body. A person who has properly transformed in their life to the point that the Lord would say, “You are My bride,” is the one who is participating in the wedding banquet, the Physical Rapture of this time period. We must understand this fundamentally.

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.

October 26^th 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Genesis 2:9, Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis 3:1-6, Genesis 3:11-19, John 14:6

If people don’t learn about God’s laws, and as a result fail to obey them because they don’t know, then they cannot receive salvation. Instead, they will receive the corresponding punishment due to sin. Therefore, those who believe in God and Jesus must learn about God’s laws more than anything else, and they must know them and obey them.

Listen carefully to the Word, and instead of just saying that the law is scary, keep the Lord’s words well so that you will not receive the suffering of Hell. God’s laws are the truth; therefore, if you keep them, you will be safe, you will have peace in your heart, you will definitely dwell in righteousness, your salvation will also become certain, and you will receive an absolute reward.

God establishes laws with which He judges fairly and repays only according to what each person has done. To those who have done wrong, God gives an opportunity to repent, and if they repent, He justly carries out only what those who have repented deserve.

There was the first law that God gave to mankind when He started the salvation history on earth. There was no other law given other than these two laws: ‘Do not eat the fruit,’ and ‘Do not touch it.’  It was because if they only kept these two laws, they could fulfill the Will of God of that time period. God said that as long as they kept these two laws, they could be fruitful, increase in number, rule over and govern all creation, and live receiving the blessings of God.

Even now, Satan tempts people saying that it’s okay to do the things that are prohibited by God’s law. Among the various types of temptations, Satan’s biggest goal is to entice people through sexual temptation. In this way, he cuts off people’s connection with God and Jesus. Also, Satan makes brothers and sisters hate one another, and thus creates a division among them.

Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, their descendants also continued to commit various sins unavoidably. For this reason, when the time came, God gave the Ten Commandments through Moses. God gave the law of Heaven and the law of the earth and taught people what sin is. By having them abide by that law, God enabled them to avoid sinning and receive salvation by observing the laws. Now, He has given us more laws than the Ten Commandments and taught us what sins are.

If we break the law, it’s ‘sin.’ If we keep the law, it’s ‘righteousness.’ Good and evil can be discerned through the law. Those who don’t keep the Word of truth are ‘the evil,’ and those who keep the Word of truth are ‘the righteous.’

If you break the law, you must surely repent. Those who have repented have to pay an appropriate price for their sin and afterward they become free from the sin according to God’s fair judgment. After you repent, you must perform many acts of righteousness. Even if there isn’t a law for something, we have to always sense and realize God’s law through the ‘law of conscience.’ God gave human beings a ‘conscience.’ Thus, no one can be free from the law of conscience. Everything that goes against our conscience is sin.
