God reveals Himself Only to the Humble

(Matthew 11:25-30)

Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim

God
is the Father of life.
He
sent the Word to give His life (Jn 1:14),
and the Word became flesh and shed blood (Heb 9:22).
He first sent the prophets to speak beforehand (Mal 3:1),
and He appeared to the world as the Son of Man
like He said (Jn 1:18).
God allowed us (who died due to sins)
to drink all of His life at the cross.
He resurrected after 3 days, went to heaven (Acts 2:32),
and sent the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
as received from the Father (Jn 16:7-14).
God comes to the gates of our spirits by the Word,
the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
Only those who come to Him by these will be saved (Jn 3:3-8).
He acts until He arrives at our hearts,
but our spirits must be baptized and come to Him (Mt 28:19-20).
Those who thoroughly repent of their old self
will receive baptism (Acts 2:38-39),
which is the sign of salvation (1 Pet 3:21).
The Holy Spirit guarantees this (1 Jn 4:12-15).

◎ We must press on toward God.
Only those who press on will enter heaven.
Repent thoroughly, say goodbye to the world and come to Him.

◎ Jesus came to call sinners.
Sinners are dead under the Law.
He came to save those who died.

◎ People belonging to Jesus are completely changed.
We do not rely on our lives, but believe the resurrection.
The Lord Jesus’ gift is so great and glorious.

※ Become the people of Jesus.
Baptism is the mark of Christ that we bear on our bodies.
We must work hard for our spirits.
