Heart Voice of a Preacher: I Have Found the Way to Get Rid of Sin

By Chuandao, South Korea 

The church became desolate and my faith grew cold.

　　When I was in high school, I suddenly got tuberculosis. Tortured by the disease, I was miserable and helpless, and felt so close to death. In 1980, I started to believe in the Lord in a church near my home. Through reading the Bible, I came to know that it was God who created the heavens and earth and all things. Afterward, I persisted in attending meetings in the church and reading the Bible.
 

     Later, I attended the theology classes held by the church. To my surprise, not long after that, the lung disease that had tortured me for years healed without treatment. I gave true thanks and praise to the Lord from the bottom of my heart. After that, my faith of expending for the Lord became greater, and I wrote a lot of testimony articles about how I was saved and called upon by the Lord. In 1994, I quit my job, and donated all my retirement pay and savings to the church. After a year of training, I formally became a preacher. Since then, I had been energetically preaching, working, and sustaining the church. Such situation lasted for four years.

Questions and Answers on Being Saved and Being Finally Saved (3)

Question 3: It’s written, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus …” (Rom 8:1). Because we believe in Christ Jesus, it has already been guaranteed that we won’t be condemned and can enter the kingdom of heaven!

　　Answer: You guys think that as long as you believe in Jesus Christ, you’re already in Jesus Christ. That is your conception. When we talk about “those who are within Jesus”, we are not referring to everyone that believes in Lord Jesus. The majority of people that believe in Lord Jesus cannot obtain God’s praise. “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Some of those who are not chosen only believe in the Lord to gain something from it. Some people that believe in the Lord never loved and never will love the truth, nor will they ever implement the truth. Some people even do evil in resistance to God, especially religious leaders. The majority of them walk the path of the Pharisees; they are all anti-Christs. Some people just believe in Christ in name; they’re non-believers. If you say all those who believe in Lord Jesus are already in Jesus, those words don’t carry any weight! “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus….” Which group of people does this really refer to? Those who can keep God’s commandments, implement the truth and obey God. That is to say, those who believe in the Lord, pursue the truth and obtain life, those that who can obey Jesus and refrain from committing acts of evil in resistance to God, those that who are completely in unison with Jesus. Those are the people who are within Jesus. It’s certainly not the case that everyone who believes in Lord Jesus is within Jesus. There are some believers whose faith is not acknowledged by God. “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity” (Mat 7:22-23). Are you saying those who serve the Lord’s name, spread his doctrines, cast out demons and exhibit many different skills are within Jesus? Are they not all people that have been condemned? Therefore, “faith in Jesus Christ” and “being in Jesus Christ” are two different things. Those that believe in the Lord but cannot earn His praise have not entered Jesus because God’s work of salvation does not proceed the way everyone thinks it does. All people who believe in God can be saved, but many of them will be abandoned, especially those who know the truth but sin anyway. These sins include: eating sacrificial offerings, denying God, betraying God, failing to implement the truth, being timid or adulterous, etc. Those people will still be condemned and abandoned by God. Those who commit great acts of evil will be punished. It is just as it says in Hebrews 10:26: “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins” (Heb 10:26). Therefore, we can see that not all believers are in Christ. Only those that believe in the Lord and love the truth, those that are able to pursue the truth and obey Jesus, those that really know Jesus, those that have no conceptions about Jesus, that do not rebel or resist Him, those that take Jesus’s heart as their heart and can implement God’s will Those are the people who have entered Jesus. They are the ones who will obtain God’s praise and enter His kingdom.

Is Once Saved Always Saved True? Here Is the Answer

By Emily

　　The Lord Jesus’ redemptive work has spread to the ends of the earth, reached every home and become a household name, and it is also because of the Lord Jesus’ redemption that mankind has survived until today. There are many brothers and sisters who back up the viewpoint of “once saved, always saved,” with the words of the apostle Paul, “For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation” (Romans 10:10). They think: Since the Lord Jesus redeemed us through crucifixion, we have already been absolved of all our sins and saved by our faith, and once saved, we are always saved, and so long as we endure until the end, we will be directly raptured into the heavenly kingdom when the Lord returns. However, some other brothers and sisters can’t help but question: “Is it really so easy for us to be saved? Can we attain salvation and enter into the kingdom of heaven through faith alone?”

Contemporary Worship Song | "God Blesses Those Who Are Honest" 

When you give your heart to God alone and you don’t play false to Him, 
when you never do what would deceive
those above you or below,
when you’re open with God in all things, 
when you don’t do things simply to win the favor and smile of God, 
this is being honest.
Honesty means when you run from impurity in each word and each deed,
when you cheat not God nor people.
Honesty means when you run from impurity in each word and each deed,
when you cheat not God nor people.
This is honesty, oh, this is honesty.

Gospel Movie Clip "My Dream of the Heavenly Kingdom" (1) - How to Pursue in Order to Enter the Heavenly Kingdom (1) 

Most believers of the Lord feel that as long as we follow the words of the Lord, practice humility and patience, and follow Paul's example by sacrificing, expending and laboring for the Lord, we will satisfy the will of God. And we will be brought into the heavenly kingdom when the Lord returns. However, have we ever considered whether such a quest would really earn the Lord's praise and admission to the heavenly kingdom? If not, how should we pursue to earn the praise of the Lord and be brought into the heavenly kingdom?

Grasping 2 Principles Helps You Find the True Church

By Nanxi, South Korea

　　With disasters frequently occurring in all nations and all places, most of the prophecies of the Lord’s return  have been fulfilled. Now, the whole religious world has become desolate. Believers are weak in faith and love, and most of them indulge themselves in the world and are busy with worldly things, without the desire to consider working for the Lord. The pastors and elders scheme against one another and raise jealousy and strife among themselves. They even separate into factions, form cliques, steal offerings, commit adultery, and so on. Seeing this condition, many brothers and sisters with a heart and a spirit and who genuinely believing in God have started to awaken, and realized that the churches they are in have no work of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, they begin to look everywhere for a church with the Holy Spirit’s work. However, today there being a multitude of denominations, each of them claims that they are most after the Lord’s will. But, what kind of church is the one truly after the Lord’s will? Someone says, “To evaluate whether it is the true church or not, we must look at how many members it has.”; someone else says, “We should look at whether its pastors can preach well.”; while others say, “We need to look at what religious sect it belongs to.” In a word, everyone has his own standards for measuring this. Today, I’ll share with you two principles that we need to grasp in order to find the true church.
