Jesus is the Christ. He solved the eternal problem.

I hope that through today's message, you will realize the truth of the gospel, enjoy freedom and peace, and as you worship, the kingdom of God will come to your site and to your heart, making this a blessed worship service.

Today’s message is about the Apostle Paul and is a message proclaimed to believers.

We're looking at the book of Ephesians every week. Chapters 1 through 3 are about spiritual things.

Salvation or predestination, and what is needed to live as a child of God are given.

Chapter 4 onwards is a practical guide based on the previous content.

In the text, it says to become an imitator of God.

When you first read this, you may not understand it. God is invisible to the eye. How can we imitate God, who is a spirit?

How can we imitate the Spirit of God? The answer is: by imitating the incarnate Jesus.

It is written in the Word of the Lord that anyone who has seen me has seen God.

To imitate God is to imitate Jesus.

After you have discovered Christ, after you have discovered the secret of the gospel, things are different. The depth and breadth of the gospel cannot be measured.

We are always experiencing the words we are taught.

As I said last week, we need to break out of our old ways and become new people.

Don't you need a model to become a new person?

We have Christ as our model, so our life becomes new day by day.

In the name of the Lord, I pray that Jesus will prepare a great vessel in 2025.

To get to the point, first of all, it tells us to walk in love for Christ.

The apostle Paul said, “Walk in love, just as Christ loved us.”

I am emphasizing that I am a child who receives God's love.

This is your spiritual identity.

Our spiritual identity is ‘those who receive God’s love.’

This should be a root that never changes, and should not be shaken by any problem.

As I often say, spiritual identity is important.

Why have you come to worship?

Aren't you the ones who have received God's love? It is because your spiritual identity is unshakable that you have been able to come to this place.

The one who loves you most in this world is God.

God loves you the most.

Next, your parents love you the most.

There is someone else I love. It's me.

You are the ones who receive the shepherd's love.

Every time I think of you, you are in my heart. You are loved by the Shepherd.

In 1 Corinthians 4:16 it says, “Be imitators of me.”

It is not because of my personality and character that I seek to imitate Christ.

We must imitate Christ.

I hope you will imitate the Lord and His servants.

The church pastor, I, and the evangelist are all lacking and weak. However, we are clearly better than you in some ways, which is why we are here to dedicate ourselves to you.

I hope you become like God, your spiritual parent.

The main point is that we should not be the ones being imitated, but the ones being emulated.

Please pray that I may enjoy the gospel more deeply and become a person of the gospel.

Please tell the person next to you, 'Let us become followers of God.'

Children imitate their parents.

Even though your child may seem fine, you are actually always watching their back.

The children imitated everything.

Since we are children of God, we must follow God.

So we continue to enjoy the gospel and meditate on the word of God.

Please refer to 1 John 4:9-10.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and because of His love, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to reconcile us to Himself.

He who was without sin sacrificed himself for us who are sinners.

We are people who have received a great deal.

A pastor once said that if you want to find love, you should look to Calvary.

For those who do not know much about love, please hold on to the covenant of Mount Calvary.

Jesus said that everything was finished on the cross.

I must hold on to the love of God and the covenant of Mount Calvary.

Looking to the covenant of Mount Calvary is the beginning of a new person.

We live in the midst of countless sins. Human beings are suffering in a world that is not actually hell, but is like hell.

If you could experience hell for just one minute here, you would know what kind of love God has.

You will come to know how great the love you have poured out on me is.

If you experienced hell for just one minute, you would probably cry and worship.

We are a great love.

We must live to repay this light.

Just walk into the love of the Lord.

The word 'walk' in today's title means to walk in Hebrew.

When we are told to act, we may think of doing things. But when we are told to act, we are told to walk in the life of Christ.

We are people who walk toward the word of God.

Jesus' walking in love does not tarnish His honor.

This becomes a joy and an honor.

You should come to church with this kind of heart.

I have been unable to live this life because I am lacking and have made many mistakes. Please give us grace.

Please pray that the Lord will help you live in joy.

Please worship in this posture.

So what kind of path are we walking?

We are on a covenant journey. We are the remnant of this age.

So we are the only hope left in this world.

We must walk the pilgrim's path.

We must walk the pilgrim's path in any situation.

Some people experience family troubles and encounter scammers.

Since we are walking the path of pilgrims, we must communicate with the Lord 24 hours a day.

We must continue to look to the Lord and aspire to Christ.

We must imitate God.

You would have been in the absolute sovereignty of God.

As we walk this pilgrim's path, we must hold on to the covenant, embrace and accept everything.

The pilgrim must see Christ.

We must look to Christ 24 hours a day.

Otherwise, loneliness will come.

So, God created only humans to stand and walk.

He created us so that we could look upon God.

In this age, we must walk the path of conquerors who conquer darkness with the light of Christ.

I hope you become a conqueror who defeats darkness.

What is important is that the darkness in my heart is gone.

Among the remnants I know, there is one who is possessed by evil thoughts.

Every moment, I was making extreme choices.

I told him then that I had met Christ and was changed.

For three days, I preached to this remnant about Christ.

After three days, the remnant was filled with true light.

We have the light of Jesus Christ, the light of life.

Among the darkness, the most vicious is darkness.

Secondly, we must live as children of light, following the example of God.

Why should we live as children of light? Because we are light.

Before, we were dark.

You must know that you are children of light.

Leaving God is a spiritually uninhabitable place.

In Ephesians 1, it is written that we were naked in our sins and transgressions.

We were deceived by the devil and lived according to the desires of the fleshly mind, and we were oppressed by the devil. However, when the light of Christ shined within us, we became children of light.

From the moment you receive Jesus, you can live as children of light.

He gave us the knowledge of the glory of God.

Children of light must walk where children of light walk.

We must walk the path that many children of light walk.

Only by going that way can our lives become successful.

You are the light of your home and neighborhood.

When we shine, people will see this light and come.

It's not something we have to do to shine. Light always shines even when we stay still.

Our good deeds should not be seen as good actions.

We need to look at it from a life-saving perspective.

In 1 Peter 2, we are called to live a life that proclaims the excellence of Christ by calling out of darkness.

This is not something that just anyone can do.

Only Christ can do it.

No problem can save us because of Christ.

You are the light.

"Now let us walk the path of the children of light."

After the Acts of the Apostles, the light came upon the apostles, and everything came upon them.

You all, many disciples arose at this time.

This light spread out more and more.

This light shines as we move into the field.

I hope you will carry this light with you throughout the coming week.

In conclusion, when we seek to imitate this God, we will bear fruit.

In verses 9 and 10 of the text, if we abide in goodness, righteousness, and truth, we can do things that please God.

Please wake up in the light.

This fruit is called the fruit of the Spirit in other manuscripts.

It is about producing the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

This is the fruit that is produced. Please consider what the Lord would be pleased with in verse 10.

I hope that your life will be one of doing only the work of light.

Awake, you who sleep, for you must not be spiritually asleep.

In other words, there are still many people in the dark.

We must shine the light of Christ, who is the only one.

I hope that you will live a meaningful life this week as children of light, doing the work of light and building towers of light in various places.

We will be able to transmit this light to 237 countries and 5,000 ethnic groups.

We must become followers of God. This means walking in God’s love.

Please let this word come true.

Let light be established in all areas related to me.

Thank you, God.

As vessels created by God, we are preparing something new.

We are following God. Our work is to do the work of light.

May the Holy Spirit help you. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
