  Understanding the Kingdom of God through the Bible     Part 1 Introduction   1. Why do Christians believe in God?   There may be many reasons. Some believe in order to go to heaven after death, some believe in order to receive blessings while alive in this world, and some believe in order to escape difficulties and pain in life. People are born in this world, and the basis for believing that they can go to heaven after death is that the body dies, but the soul can go to heaven. Otherwise, they believe that they will fall into eternal fire and hell. And without even knowing why they were born in this world, they simply believe that they can go to heaven if they believe in God. Without knowing the relationship between the world and heaven, they simply think that they can go to heaven if they believe.   2. Is Christianity a religion? Religion is centered on humans. Humans put God first in order to escape from the fear of death. And they establish God to seek...

  Paul's Preaching of the Kingdom of God   Acts 19:8 『『 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 』 Chapter 19 records the core ministry of Paul's third missionary journey, the pioneering ministry in Ephesus. Paul stayed in Ephesus for about three years, teaching the word of God. This was the period when Paul's missionary work blossomed. Paul set aside disciples in the school of Tyrannus and preached the word every day. At that time, all the people of Asia, whether Jews or Greeks, heard the gospel.

It is not specifically stated. However, we can guess from the story before and after. First, there is the story of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 19:1-2,  『 And it came to pass, that, ...

  God wants to give believers 100% heavenly life   God wants to give believers 100% heavenly life, but believers are rejecting it. God wants to give believers a life of perfect holiness. To those who believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, God gives them the life of resurrection with Christ. However, those who do not believe in the present resurrection life are rejecting it. According to the doctrine of justification by faith, believers are saved once they believe in Jesus, and then they must achieve sanctification. So they work hard to achieve sanctification. They must restore the image of God, or live a life that resembles Christ, or pursue righteousness, or strive to live a holy life, or examine whether they sin or not every day and try to keep the commandments, or try to live a life like light, etc. God gives the grace of resurrection life to those who died with Jesus on the cross. God gives resurrection life. Just as Jesus Christ became the first fruit of resurrectio...

  The Meaning of Living by God's Word   Church pastors often say that we must live by God's Word. What does it mean to live by God's Word? We can think of three types. The first is the legalistic perspective. The second is the love of God and love of people based on the commandments. The third is to realize the meaning in God's Word and act accordingly. First, from the perspective of legalism, it is about a believer trying hard to live according to the words of all 66 books of the Bible. Even if he cannot live according to the words perfectly, when he tries to live as best he can, God appreciates his efforts. Those who try to live according to the word of God based on legalism are those who try to show off their own righteousness. Regarding the meaning of Jesus' death on the cross, they only believe that Jesus died in my place for my sins, but they do not live a life of complete self-denial. A life of self-denial is believing that I also died on the cross with Jesus...
