Shincheonji - 556- The Word of Life

 

 

[ Jn1:1~4 ]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

[ 1 Jn1:1-2 ] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. /2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

[ Mt 11:27 ]

"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

 The Word of Life

 

Main reference: Jn 1:1-4

 

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. Life is in this word. Heaven, earth, and all things were created through this word. If one keeps this word, they will live; but if they do not keep this word, they will die. Since we were created by the word, if anyone does not believe in the word or departs from the word, this lifeline will be disconnected from that person. This is because the word itself is life.

‘Man’ was created by the word, and they are protected by the word. Man’s life is in the word, and it is connected to the word. God, who was the word, left man due to their sin. As a consequence, the source of the word which brought life to man, was disconnected. Man was only able to continue to live on the life which was left, and ended up dying as a result; just as if the light of a lamp was snuffed out because the oil was no longer continuing to be refilled. The reason why the lifespan of mankind, the children of Adam, has decreased is because the lifeline, which played the role of the oil for people, was removed from them, and their sins piled up upon one another. Man’s life expectancy has gradually decreased since Adam’s time. People lived for almost 1,000 years at that time, but now people die even before they reach 100 years.

The God of the word of life, left man because of sin. Jesus came and bore the cross in order to resolve the problem of this sin. The cross he took up was necessary to reconnect the lifeline between God and mankind. This allows the God of life, who left us, to come back to us.

If one desires to receive forgiveness of his sin and to attain eternal life, he must believe in Jesus’ word and act according to its meaning. Since life and the power of creation are in the word, even the people in this world have a saying which says, “Mans’ life and his rich and honor belong to heaven.” Now we must enter into the word and become one family with God. In doing so, we will be able to live eternally with God, the origin of life. This will only be possible because of the grace of Jesus’ blood.

God is the word in the beginning (Jn 1:1); Jesus, with whom God dwelled, is also the word in the beginning (1 Jn 1:1-2). In addition, Jesus also said he was the living bread which came from heaven, and that one would live eternally only by drinking his blood and eating his flesh (Jn 6).

Jesus was born from heaven, and he received the revealed scroll, the word of the revelation, just as it is portrayed in Ezekiel chapter 3. This word of the revelation was the living bread from heaven, which leads people to eternal life. Jesus, who received the revelation, stated that no one knows God except the ones who receive the revelation through Jesus (Mt 11:27).

Before this revelation comes, believers only teach and learn through teachings of man, just as Isaiah 29:9-14 explains. They come near to God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him.

All people on earth today (believers) know the fulfillment of the Old Testament, but they do not know the New Testament, just as Revelation 5 explains. Since no one knows, not even one person, believers have only taught and learned the teachings of man. They come close to the Lord with their lips, but their hearts are far from the Lord.

 

 

What believers today must know is not the Old Testament, but the New Testament and its revelation. Believers have been under the fulfillment of the Old Testament until the faith of the New Testament, which should be revealed, comes. But when the faith of the revelation in the New Testament comes, they will no longer be under the supervision of the Old Testament fulfillment, but they will dwell in the faith of the revelation in the New Testament. One will complete his life of faith by believing in the revelation of the New Testament. This is why the scripture says if one adds to and/or subtracts from Revelation, he will be unable to go to heaven and will be cursed (Rv 22:18-19). Is this word a lie? Ask yourself. Ask yourself whether you have added or subtracted from revelation.

The promised pastor in Shincheonji has received the revelation of heaven according to Revelation 10. He is making known this revelation just as he was commanded to do. Whoever goes against this and does not like the promised revelation does so because the spirit of the devil is inside them. The reason why the spirit of the devil is inside is because they are born of the genes of the sinner and of the seed of the devil. Only when this type of person is born again of God’s seed, will God’s spirit, the holy spirit, be able to dwell with them.

The word in the beginning is God, and it is life. God’s seed of life is God’s word (Lk 8:11). Those who are born of God’s seed are God’s sons (children), and they are qualified to call God, Father. These people are not the old self, but they are the re-born new creations and the people of God’s kingdom (heaven). All saints must enter into the word of the revelation in the New Testament, and they must become God’s family, in order to be qualified to go to heaven.

If anyone thinks they are carrying out a true life of faith, and they are qualified to go to heaven, they will be able to know whether their spirit is in darkness/night, or in light/day, by taking a test with the words of the revelation in the New Testament (1 Thes 5). Are you confident about this test?

The true promised pastor, who received the revelation—the living bread from heaven—prays for all people that they will receive the revelation, and will become the family of heaven by understanding and believing in the true will of heaven.
