belief and action

When we say that we believe in God, we must not only say it with words, but must show that faith before God through actions. If not, our faith is dead faith, and we only believe in God through words. Believing in God only with words is dead faith, and dead faith cannot save you.

As James said, faith must be followed by works. If you say you believe in God only in words and you do not see it in action, it is completely dead faith. There is no history following these dead beliefs. Because God's work is not followed, faith will no longer grow in such a person. If your faith in God does not grow, eventually you will act according to your own thoughts.

However, if you hear the word of God and immediately put it into action with faith, then history will surely follow. Because the word of God is alive and has momentum, if you hear the word of God and immediately obey it, history will surely follow. If anyone directly experiences the work of God in his body, faith will gradually grow within him, and through this, he will eventually show great faith supported by his son just like Abraham.

The 'work' that James spoke of makes God work in this way. However, when we show the 'works' of our faith, we must be careful whether the preacher really received the word directly from God or is speaking his/her own thoughts. No matter how plausible the message may be, God's work will not appear unless the preacher has received the message directly from God. The work of God varies greatly depending on whether the person who delivers this message is the message that God has directly received or the message that humans deliver with their own thoughts.

No matter how large the pastor of a church is, if he conveys it with his own thoughts, the work of God does not appear there. Therefore, the believers who follow him will not grow in 'faith', no matter how long they have been to church, and eventually become the owner of 'dead faith' and will not be able to reach eternal life. The works referred to here do not refer to the power of healing through the gift of the Holy Spirit, but to the true work of God that reveals the sins hidden in the hearts of men and guides them to Christ.

However, no matter how small a church pastor is, if God speaks through his mouth, God's work will surely appear there. When God's work is revealed, the believer will personally experience the fact that he is a sinner, and he will come to understand the reason why he has to go to the Son sent by God. Meeting your son and telling him about your inner circumstances is true repentance. Through this, 'faith' in God gradually grows, and eventually, 'great faith' like the prostitute Rahab is shown. All the people in the genealogy of 'faith' of Jesus Christ have this kind of faith.

So, what kind of beliefs do Christians have today? Surprisingly, everyone now possesses 'dead beliefs'. It may sound absurd, but there is no denying the dead faith of Christians. The reason Christians have no choice but to have 'dead faith' is because there is no one who can properly convey the word of God to them. In the meantime, there are those who preach the word with the gift of the Holy Spirit, but now they are all corrupted, disobeying the will of the Holy Spirit, trying to please people, and furthermore, they are focused on building their own honor and wealth. The voice of God is no longer heard through their fallen mouths.

Now, even the servants who were used with the gifts of the Holy Spirit have fallen and there is no one who can deliver the word of God properly, and the members of the church who listened to the word under them also gradually lost their 'faith' in God. Today's Christians, looking at the book of James, discovered the fact that living 'faith' must be followed by 'works', and began to show 'works' in a hurry. However, when I was going to show my 'work' before God, I was troubled because I didn't know what to do, and when I looked again in the Bible, there was a saying in the Bible to take care of orphans and widows.

An example of that 'doing' is the ministry of providing food to the homeless on the streets that Christians are spreading here and there today. In the past, most Christians showed 'doing' by visiting orphanages or nursing homes and serving them, but these days, they are more actively showing that they are practicing 'the love of Christ' with 'actions' to many people. it is giving If so, does God really require Christians to do these things? However, this is just that Christians are expressing their thoughts regardless of God's will. Because the love of Christ is to save man from sin, not to distribute bread or rice to the homeless on the street.  

It is truly apologies to those who labor in the scorching sun without any reward, but Abraham or Rahab the prostitute did this and did not receive praise from God as the 'father of faith'. If the forefathers of faith in the Bible were given the title of “father of faith” by serving the homeless, or visiting orphanages or nursing homes, Christians today should do the same. something to do.

But even people in the world who are unbelievers can do such a thing if they put their mind to it. If anyone in the world can do anything, it is neither 'faith' in God nor practicing 'love of Christ'. By the way, 'faith' means hearing the 'word' given by God and putting it into 'action' immediately. However, even the servants who have been used as the Holy Spirit have turned their backs on God because of their self-interest.

No matter how long Christians continue to feed and care for the poor, no matter how much they take care of the poor, God's work does not appear because such acts were not done directly by God, but purely according to their own thoughts. How much less the rain that falls from the sky does not just go up to the sky, but makes the living things of the earth grow. How can God’s work not be revealed when we hear the words of God, the Lord of all things in the world, and put them into action? 'Faith' grows through God's work, and 'faith' grows through the work of God, and eventually brings the result of pleasing God and furthermore, 'saving' oneself.

Even Christians, even when they called on the name of Jesus and received the Holy Spirit for the first time, must have received the word of God with fear and trembling hearts. However, they too were corrupted in heart and could not live according to the Holy Spirit, and as time passed, they became more and more distant from God. As a result, there are many people who live their faith according to their own thoughts. These days, rather than the work of the Holy Spirit, Satan is sitting in the seat of God, tricking Christians and telling them lifeless words, saying that they are the voice of God.

In the words Satan preaches through humans, God's work does not appear, but the work of the devil. However, Christians who cannot discern spirits see it as God's work. As a result, 'belief in God' is not growing in the hearts of Christians, but rather, only 'belief in themselves' is growing in the hearts of Christians. 'Faith' is a physical 'faith' that believes that you can go to heaven if you call on the name of Jesus no matter how you live.

Muslims believe that 'Allah' will take you when you run into the enemy camp with bombs and die. This is 'belief' from 'belief'. How foolish is it to believe that you can go to heaven even if you do bad things? Since they cannot distinguish between good and evil, they think that they can go to heaven even if they do evil. Likewise, Christians today believe that they can go to heaven because they believe in Jesus even though their hearts are full of evil. This is no different from the beliefs of Muslims.

Because of the fall of Christians in the future, God's voice will no longer be heard through the Holy Spirit. In order for Christians to hear the voice of God, they must listen to the words of Christ who come before the Gentiles through people like the apostle Paul. Just as the Jews also fell and did not hear the word of God, God sent His Son to hear the word of God at the end. You will send your son one last time before the field so that the word of God can be heard.

At that time, 'faith' is to hear and obey the Word of God that is spoken through the Son to all Christians, regardless of their status. Disobedience means to listen to Satan and live, which is also a protest against God. 'Faith' grows gradually through God's work when you hear the words of the Son and immediately show 'does'. The 'faith' grown in this way not only pleases God, but it also leads to 'salvation'.

Man's 'salvation' comes only when he takes up his problems and runs to Christ. God sent His Son into the human world to solve all human problems before Christ. Therefore, a human born as a descendant of Adam must meet the Son sent by God and solve the problem. Those who lived under the law must meet Christ who came in the flesh, and Christians who live under the law of the Holy Spirit must meet Christ who came spiritually and solve their problems.

'Faith' is bound to bear fruit through these 'works'. If you say you believe in God and don't put what God has said into action, your faith is dead. In the same vein, if Christians today say they believe in Jesus who came to the land of Israel and do not believe in Christ who has come to Christians spiritually, this is also a 'dead faith'. If Christians believed in Jesus who came in the flesh to the land of Israel, they must also believe in Christ who comes spiritually to the Gentiles to have living 'faith'. Such people will be entered into the genealogy of faith just like Abraham.
