Faith filled with the gospel

Matthew 12:38-45

Jesus is the Christ.

The choir sang praises today.

This is a hymn I heard a long time ago, 20 years ago.

This is a song of praise when the world was evangelized through words.

It was a hymn I heard a lot when I was begging to preach the gospel to the world.

Even someone like me was blessed and made into a person whom God desires and uses.

I realized once again that the confession of praise is so important and that what happens according to this confession is God's covenant.

This time we had a Chuseok camp.

Many people have commented that it was possible because it is the World Mission Church.

It was possible because it was a church that had been doing missionary work for a long time, regardless of whether it was a large or small church.

Thanks to your participation with a missionary mindset that fits the missionary church, we were able to finish it with grace.

He has already called the multi-ethnic people who are here to join us.

It seems that this was a place of celebration where all the saints opened their eyes and became one.

I believe that God's grace will continue to be with us in this way.

How happy and grateful were you?

God will continue to work with your dedication and hard work.

This past week has been a noisy one.

People in the world lie, the world lies, and the media lies too.

Sometimes we make up stories that don't exist.

We are believers in God. Because we believe the Bible's words, it's important to believe and see them as fact, but we must first see the spiritual truth.

Spiritual truth is God's standard. We must look to what the Bible says and its values.

You have to listen to people.

But isn't the world's noise too loud?

So, we must try to hear God's voice at this time.

We must strive to make God's voice heard.

Therefore, we must be able to go only toward God.

Talking about the world or people is just exhausting.

There is not a single word that is good for us during the week.

If your soul is well, then everything will go well for you.

That's why your soul needs to be well. To be well and gain strength, you must come before God, as you do today, and listen to His word.

When we look at it objectively, is the word of the world correct? Or is it the word of God?

That's why today's worship is so important. We must realize the value of worship.

It is not the words of men that must be heard, but the voice of God, the mandate of heaven, that must come.

We must ask God to speak to us so that we can discern the world without being swayed or influenced by its words.

You guys, you have to discern the times.

Shouldn't we properly discern this era?

We must see God's plan in this world and in events.

You must know your own strength.

You must realize your spiritual identity.

In these times, we must become ambassadors of Christ, carrying the gospel to our families and households.

We must live knowing the important value of worship.

Why did you give me life?

We must realize that something important is contained in worship.

I hope you will understand the value of worship and truly focus on worship with all your heart.

In worship, we must remember that we receive all answers from God and that only God can make an absolute covenant, not being swayed by worldly opinions.

In conclusion, today's message warns us of the dangers of a lifeless religious life.

Jesus had previously performed numerous miracles and signs, but the Pharisees and the people, despite having seen the miracles, demanded evidence that would give them confidence.

Why did the Pharisees and scribes make this request? It was because of their own self-interest.

They didn't want to know Jesus. Their interest was elsewhere.

Do you really want to know who Jesus is?

They were trying to test and accuse Jesus.

It's the same today. Many people have different interests in God and Jesus.

I have no interest in why I believe in Jesus or how I live my life.

It tells us what results this religious person's efforts will produce.

In today's text, the Lord tells us about the dangers of those who live a religious life and their end.

We must restore a faith filled with the gospel.

I pray that all saints will have their faith restored and filled with the gospel.

To get to the point, there is a theology that rejects Jesus and centers on itself.

The Pharisees keep asking for a sign. They are caught in a subtle form of disbelief, testing Jesus while claiming their faith is the right one.

Please reexamine yourself to see if this distrust truly remains. You must examine yourself to see if you are truly satisfied with God and have complete faith in Jesus.

He died on the cross and was resurrected according to the Scriptures. This resurrection, the ultimate gift of God, is the ultimate sign and the core of the gospel.

Jesus actually came to this earth and witnessed it, but the religious leaders of the time neither repented nor showed any interest.

Jesus came with a status greater than Solomon, but the religious leaders of that time did not believe him at all.

I was constantly obsessed with my own faith, my career, and its formalities rather than the gospel that God gave me.

This is what dead faith means.

It is possible to have religious zeal without life and without Jesus.

Those who practice this dead faith are bound to be possessed by evil spirits again.

If that place is not filled again with Jesus, it will be taken over again by demons.

It's not a simple story.

It doesn't mean simply exorcising and sending out demons, but it means that religious life is extremely dangerous.

Because everyone has a homing instinct, they have an instinct to want to meet some absolute god.

So we have religion, and in Greek religion means 'fear'.

It means that by fearing ghosts, you are appeasing them and serving them.

Ghosts are beings controlled by Satan and their role is to kill and destroy humans.

So now that we are uncertain about the future, we are looking for more shamans.

In the modern era, fortune telling is becoming more accessible to us through Zoom, broadcasts, internet content, YouTube, etc.

It may seem like something is happening, but this path is a path to ruin and failure.

Jesus compared Satan and demons to thieves. They are simply beings that seek to kill and destroy us.

Many believers today still have these things left over.

Many believers do not know Christ.

Living without knowing the gospel properly means living a life of faith without knowing what God wants.

You need to check that you are heading in the right direction and doing it right.

We must always prioritize one thing above all else.

We must do what pleases God and what He wants.

Are you doing what God truly wants, is pleased with, and brings glory to?

There are many people who live a righteous and devout life of faith without Jesus.

But if the center is empty, evil spirits will eventually fill it.

You must not believe that if you believe in Jesus you will live well, but rather know that if you believe in Jesus you will not die.

However, many people become materialistic. Many seek physical answers.

These are all people who are not interested in Jesus and do not have a true life of faith.

They do not know what Jesus is pleased with and what He wants.

Everyone wants to receive physical blessings.

However, the Bible tells us that the purpose of Jesus, the Son of God, coming to this earth was to give us eternal life.

It is an important virtue in life.

However, these should not be the purposes of believing in Jesus. Please truly examine yourself.

Please examine why you believe in Jesus.

You have to know that you have worked hard in your own way.

The world tells us to live well, serve others, and do good deeds.

But this is the opposite of what God really wants.

We need to know what truly pleases God.

Among the characters in the Bible, we must know someone like Saul.

Samuel was distressed and cried out to the Lord.

God does not recognize people who practice religion.

That's why they call it an evil generation.

This refers to people who go to church but cannot find answers through the gospel.

Spiritual problems are becoming more serious, and you should not seek out shamans.

The more I go, the more I realize the misery of religious life.

The history of ghosts goes like this.

I went to the Philippines in 2018.

There was a camp here, and many people said they wanted to leave religious life.

He said he would restore true faith, but when he actually went to his home and family, he pulled out the idols hidden behind it.

After we left, they took out all the idols that had been hidden behind and put them back where they were.

You must be able to become a saint who can play a truly important role.

There are so many people who practice religion.

The same goes for our field.

That's why Jesus came to this earth.

He came to us for the people of this land.

You must know that you are living a life of faith that is alive, outside of this religious life.

Religious people hate evangelism. They don't know the gospel and have no interest in evangelism.

I believe you are truly precious people.

We must always check the spiritual condition of non-believers.

There is nothing much different from what happens to people who practice religion.

So I believe we must have a faith filled with the gospel.

I believe that we will be filled only with the gospel.

Please just hold on to the gospel.

It's not about emptying your heart. It's about filling it with Jesus.

If you empty your mind, you create favorable conditions for the devil to enter.

We believe that what we empty is what we must empty our stomachs.

A person who feels hungry a lot is a healthy person.

A healthy person is one who feels hungry often.

I hope you will be filled with the Holy Spirit there.

The essence of faith is that Jesus must be in me and in my life.

We need to have more fellowship and communication with the Lord and know what pleases Him.

We must know what kind of faith pleases God.

I need to know what God is doing through me.

You must take the time God wants.

We must always rejoice in God and be interested in the field.

Only then can we truly live a life that pleases God.

Please fill me only with the Holy Spirit.

He can truly fill you with the Holy Spirit.

Because evil can come in again.

We must know that Jesus Christ is with us every day.

Please pray that God will have mercy on me, fill me with the Holy Spirit, and give me power and ability.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I command all demons that have come into my home and my workplace to leave.

The way to escape religious life is to continue to attend the gatherings of light.

It is important to continue to receive grace and strength.

In this way, your faith will be filled with the gospel and will be a faith that pleases God.

If you are devastated and do not receive grace, everything becomes difficult and bothersome.

Who are you to keep making excuses for and becoming unhappy?

Spiritual lethargy is anxiety.

The more difficult the day becomes, the more we must pray for our families and our communities. We must delve deeper into the Word.

Please do not become spiritually lazy.

I hope you become a truly passionate believer.

Please continue to make life-saving choices.

Since saving life is the gospel, I believe that in order to live the gospel life, we must make choices that save life.

In conclusion, you will become what God wants you to be.

God will truly be pleased and will be in the state He desires.

To those who have this kind of faith, God truly entrusts the work He desires.

I hope you become a person who is filled with the gospel.

I hope that you will shed all the calluses of religion and return to giving glory to the true Jesus and God, who are sufficient.

You will be in a situation where you will have no choice but to attach people to you and entrust them with important tasks.

Thank you, God.

Thank you for helping us shed the dead skin cells of our long religious life that have accumulated within us.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have true faith.

Please help me live a life centered on the Word and prayer.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you and pray. Amen.
