Eternal Answer to Enjoy in True Faith (Hebrews 12:1-2) 6/30/2024
What God wants from us is faith. Only faith is what pleases God (Hebrews 11:6), and everything we do without faith is sin (Romans 14:23). What does this mean?
Even our salvation is not earned by our deeds or efforts. It is a priceless gift of grace given to those who believe in the one who gives salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9). This is the essence of the Bible, and the core of religious reformation (Romans 1:17). Thus, whoever receives salvation through this grace, there is nothing to boast before God (Romans 4:2, 1 Corinthians 1:29).
All answers and blessings that arise in a believer’s life are fruits of faith. Faith is what Jesus spoke about to those he healed or blessed (Matthew 8:13, Luke 7:9, Mark 5:34). In doing evangelism or missions, when we have this face, unprecedented works arise (Mark 16:17-18).
- The problem is many people (even believers) misunderstand this faith.
1) Many misunderstand faith as a self-confidence and a belief that fulfills their desires. This is where positivity comes from. Positivity is good and healthy for mental health. However, if we confuse that as faith, there are at least four problems.
① We cannot overcome our limitations. We will be stuck in our own standards, levels, and conflicts. It will be difficult to experience the deep things of God.
② It will undoubtedly create spiritual problems. This is the reason churches that emphasize positive thinking all terribly crumble.
③ We cannot heal our existing spiritual problems with our own beliefs. That is why depression, suicide, and mental illnesses are continuing. When these things take root within us, it becomes the bartizan (system) of Satan that he uses to continuously work through (2 Corinthians 10:4).
2) Many misunderstand faith as going to church diligently or lots of devotion and work.
① There are individuals who are responsible and devotional in all that they do. It is good basics.
② However, if those things are not fruits that come from faith, the result will be severe. Some people fall into pseudo religion and give up all their assets. Some live kindly and diligently but still crumble (Matthew 12:43-45).
3) Many misunderstand faith as going to an eternal place (heaven) after death.
① They say that today’s world is not important (cut off). True faith is not abandoning the world. It is saving the world. That is why it is important to not follow or take after the world but know the world well enough to save it (correct world-view, finance-view, culture-view).
② We enjoy eternal answers through true faith, but those answers begin from here on earth. That is why it says heaven is within you (Luke 17:21). It is the righteousness, peace, and joy we enjoy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).
- What is true faith? God seeks those with true faith in the end times and that faith will save the world.
1) Believing in Christ, whom the Triune God has sent for us, is the beginning of faith. The Father is the one who plans and chooses salvation (Ephesians 1:3-4). The Son, Christ, is the one who came to earth, died, and resurrected to fulfill that salvation (Ephesians 1:5-12). The Holy Spirit is the one who sealed us in the spirit, guarantees everything, and continues to complete our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14).
① What we must do now is believe in this Christ, invite him as the Lord and savior of our lives (acceptance). From then on, He is with us (true Prophet). Through his blood, we are freed from all sin and curses (true Priest). With the power that comes from believing in His power and authority, we can fight against the forces of darkness that gives us a hard time (true King).
② From then on, He is with us and our lives become a journey shared with him (covenant journey, 7 journeys).
A journey ends once. We are sharing that precious time with Him. All problems and crises will turn into blessings (3 answers). In hindsight, there are many things we might regret, but everything is grace and things to be thankful for.
2) We are believing in what God promised through Christ. Within that is our identity and the Absolute Answers we will enjoy. We must believe in the three things promised to us and enjoy them through prayer (Worship, Scheduled Prayer, Continuous Prayer, 24-Hour Prayer).
① The covenant about “Me that is in God.” This is called self-esteem.
We cannot lose hold of who we are. We are not talking about us that others see, us that we see through the worldly standards, or us that we see. It is us that God has saved, God sees, God loves, and God will use (Isaiah 43:1-4).
② The covenant about “Things that God gave me.” This is called self-pride, or self-richness. The moment we accepted Christ, His life (John 5:24), Authority (John 1:12), and Power (John 14:12) is within us. We are people who possess something that unbelievers do not have. This is where our self-pride comes from. We have everything (2Corinthians 6:9-11). Enjoying this in prayer is the 7 Bartizans. God of the throne will show works of transcending time and space and Unprecedented works.
③ The covenant about “the field that God gave me.” This is self-significance, or self-worth. God has entrusted us the field that we are in. That is how important our lives are (2Corinthians 5:20, 1Peter 2:9). We are holding onto the mission (Heavenly Mandate, Mission, and Calling) of saving the field as we study, marry, and work in all our fields. Do not just live hastily. Try the 3 Concentrations (3 Missions from College Retreat is possible).
3) We are believing in what this Christ has prepared for us. This is preparation for the Eternal Future, as well as blessings. Holding, seeing, enjoying, experiencing, and challenging the future that God has prepared in Christ is called CVDIP. What is the conclusion that God has prepared? That is the new heavens and new earth. What we must do for that is world evangelism.
① The end will come when this Gospel has been preached to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). There is eternal judgment and eternal reward. That is why Evangelists, and the supporters are important. That is why their path is beautiful, and will shine eternally (Romans 10:15, Daniel 12:3).
② Interpret everything with evangelism and missions and make your conclusion there. This is the absolute reason God changes all our answers, blessings, and even our pain into evidence. It is to raise us as witnesses. This is why we must be responsible for our health, finances, and posterity (Deuteronomy 34;7, 1Chronicles 29:28, 2Corinthians 12:9-10).
③ Evangelism and Missions must become our life’s Absolute Guide Sign (7 Guide Signs). We must save the Multi-Ethnic people around us and nurture them into disciples (Multiethnic house). We must heal them to make them into Spiritual Summits (healing house). Ultimately, we must raise Specialized Missionaries, Pastors, and Missionaries that will lead the future (TCK house). From here, comes the 3 Masterpieces. Thankfully, our church has been focused on this ministry since the beginning, and this has become our church’s 3 goals (3 Courtyards).
Conclusion – As we take this faith on our paths, there may be heavy burdens and temptations along the way (3 Faithful Fights). Even if you fall, do not give up. Begin anew, sympathize those who have fallen, and help them get back up in prayer and support. Christ is the author and perfector of our faith. With this true faith, may we all become eternal witnesses of Christ.
