God the Mother - Jerusalem Mother, Children of Free Woman

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

In the Bible, God is referred to through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in the female image.

Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?

It is written that God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?

We need to study this matter carefully.

Children of the Free Woman

Apostle Paul testified that we are the children of promise, the children of the free woman, because we have been given the promise of eternal life from our heavenly Mother.

  Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

  Gal. 4:31 『Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but 

  of the free woman.』

If we are the children of the free woman, what should we call Her? We should call Her our “Mother.” We cannot have eternal life unless we receive the heavenly Mother. Eternal life, which God has promised us, is given through the heavenly Mother.

In this last age, we need our Jerusalem Mother who has been established by Christ Ahnsahnghong?the Second Coming Jesus. Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and in Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, so that we can receive eternal life.

World Mission Society Church of God believes in Heavenly Mother.

World Mission Society Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

Only Mother can leads us to the kingdom of heaven.

God the Mother - Elohim God

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly Mother( God the Mother ) are Elohim God.

World Mission Society Church of God, we believe in God the Father (Christ Ahnsahnghong) and God the Mother (Jerusalem Mother) to be saved. Let's preach the gospel about this truth ( God the Father and God the Mother ) to the whole world.

The word “Elohim,” which means Gods, is the plural form of the Hebrew word “Eloah.”

 Let’s study about Elohim that the Bible testifies about.

The word "Elohim" directly translates to "Gods." The Bible testifies that God exists in the female image, God the Mother, as well as the male image, God the Father.

World Mission Society Church of God has received Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Father, and the heavenly Jerusalem, God the Mother.

When people hear the word "God," most immediately think of "God the Father," holding to the fixed idea that only God the Father exists; however, the Bible clearly testifies that there is a God the Mother in addition to a God the Father. We sincerely hope that you can break your fixed, man-made ideas so that you can receive the true Saviors: Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.

Then, let us discover why the members of the Church of God accept Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother as their Elohim God.

Elohim God revealed in the book of Genesis

Let us confirm that there is both a male and a female image of God, through the book of Genesis.

   Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our 

   likeness,"…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he

   created him; male and female he created them.』

Both males and females were created in the image of God, and thus it is clear that God has two images: a male image and a female image. When God said, "Let us make man in our image," God used the word "us"-a plural term-instead of using "me." We come to understand that not one God, but two Gods-a Father and a Mother-worked together during the Creation. Such plural terms are used to describe God in Genesis chapter 11, also.

   Gen. 11:1-7 『…The LORD said…"Come, let us go down and confuse their 

   language so they will not understand each other."』

This verse, too, makes reference to Elohim God, the same God who created male and female (in Genesis chapter 1), saying, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." In Genesis chapter 11, God was responding to the arrogance of the people, who had collectively built the tower of Babel. Through this situation, God testifies that there exists a God the Mother as well as a God the Father by saying, "Let us go down…"

Elohim God revealed in the book of Isaiah

We can confirm the existence of Elohim God through the book of Isaiah as well.

   Isa. 6:8 『Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? 

   And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"』

When God was searching for a man to preach His words, God said, "Who will go for us?" instead of saying, "Who will go for me?" This reveals that not only the Father was working, but that there was a Mother who was working as well.

Elohim God revealed in the book of Jeremiah

In the book of Jeremiah we can also find references to Elohim God.

   Jer. 31:22 『…The LORD will create a new thing on earth-a woman will 

   surround a man.』

God said that He would create a new thing: a woman would surround a man. Spiritually, this verse has a very profound meaning. The woman, Eve, had once been inside the man. If God had not made the woman with the ribs He had taken out of the man, how could the woman have been able to surround the man? The new thing, that God said He would bring to the earth, would be the revealing of Mother, who has been within God the Father since the beginning. The new thing would be created at the time God established the new covenant.

   Jer. 31:31-34 『"The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make

   a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…"I will    

   put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, 

   and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a 

   man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me,

   from the least of them to the greatest."』

In the Hebrew Bible, the word "God" is actually written as "Elohim"-"I will be their God [Elohim]." "Elohim" is the plural form of the word "Eloha," meaning a singular God. Therefore, "Elohim" means "Gods," plural. Once we can understand the concept of Elohim God through the new covenant, we no longer need men to teach us to know God, because we will all know God, from the least of us to the greatest. In the truth of the new covenant, we can only become the children of God when we have God the Father and God the Mother, our Elohim God.

When Elohim God created male and female, They said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." When Elohim God punished the evil acts of God's people, They said, "Let us go down." When the Gods called to Isaiah, They said, "Who will go for us?" Throughout the Bible, God has existed as the male God and the female God: Elohim.

Elohim will appear in Their own time

God promised that He would appear according to His own timing (1 Tim. 6:15). Let us confirm what form He will appear in.

   Rev. 22:17 『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears   

   say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him 

   take the free gift of the water of life.』

For our salvation, God always referred to Himself as "us," and then Elohim God appeared-as the Holy Spirit and the Bride-to give us the water of life. In the first book of Timothy, it is written that God alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light (1 Tim. 6:16). Thus, only the Spirit and the Bride-the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, and the New Jerusalem Mother-are immortal and only They have life. Nevertheless, some people boast that they, also, have the power to give life. The people who make such assumptions are greatly mistaken. The Bible says that no one can have life until he or she eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks His blood (John 6:53), and Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt. 8:22). Mere human beings, such as ourselves, cannot say that we are alive.

There is no life in us, so we must go to God-Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother-if we want to receive eternal life and salvation, because They are the only ones who have life. In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother.

People who pervert or deny this Biblical teaching will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

World Mission Society Church of God - Trinity

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

World Mission Society Church of God- In this age, only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.

Through the prophecy of the Bible, let’s confirm that Christ Ahnsahnghong, who came as the Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit, is truly the Second Coming Christ.

The concept of "Trinity" means that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not different entities, but are one God. The Trinity-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one. In order to understand why the members of the Church of God believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong as the Holy Spirit, please study the truths of "the Second Coming Christ." 

To better understand the Trinity, let’s first consider the transformation of water. Water is a liquid, but when its temperature falls below 0° C, the water will turn into ice, a solid. When the water is boiled, it turns into vapor, a gas. Water, ice, and vapor have different names and different forms, but their substance is the same: H₂O. 

It is similar to when an actor in a monodrama plays three different characters-a father, a son, and a grandson-all having different voices. Although there are three different voices and three different roles, there is only one actor. 

Like this, even though God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit may look different, have different names, and have appeared during different ages, the three are one God. The Trinity reveals that God administrates His salvation work while playing three roles. 

For six thousand years God has carried out His salvation work in the names of Jehovah, Jesus, and Ahnsahnghong, each according to its age. 

God the Father, Jehovah = God the Son, Jesus

Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God. 

Isaiah prophesied about Jesus as follows: 

  Isa. 9:6 『For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government 

  will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty 

  God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.』

Jesus is referred to as the "Son," but the Bible revealed that the son would be called "Mighty God," and "Everlasting Father." Apostle Paul clearly understood that Jesus’ nature was that of God the Father, as follows: 

  Phil. 2:5-7 『Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, 

  being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be 

  grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being 

  made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man...』

  Rom. 9:5 『...Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.』

We can also confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God by studying the history of the Creation. 

  Isa. 44:24 『I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched 

  out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself...』

God the Father-Jehovah-said that He had created everything by Himself, but Jesus said that it was He who had created the world. 

  Col. 1:16 『For by him [Jesus] all things were created...』

The Bible states that God the Father, Jehovah, created the world, but it also says that God the Son, Jesus, created the world. Therefore, God the Father [Jehovah] and God the Son [Jesus] are clearly one God. 

  Isa. 44:6 『"This is what the LORD says-Israel's King and Redeemer, the

  LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last...』

God the Father said, "I am the first and I am the last." 

  Rev. 22:13 『"I [Jesus] am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, 

  the Beginning and the End."』

God the Son also said, "I am the First and the Last." Therefore, God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God. 

God the Father, Jehovah = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong

Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Holy Spirit are one God. In the Bible, there are frequent references to "the (Holy) Spirit." The Bible teaches us that God is spirit, and that God is holy. Thus, the spirit of God is holy, too. We call the spirit of God "the Holy Spirit." 

  John 4:24 『God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in 

  truth.』

Apostle Paul wrote-in the book of Corinthians-that God is the Holy Spirit. 

  1 Cor. 2:10-11 『...but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit 

  searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows 

  the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way 

  no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 』 

The (Holy) Spirit could search even the deep things of God (the Father), the things which no one could know. If "the Holy Spirit" and "the spirit of God" were different, how could the Holy Spirit possibly know the thoughts of God? Only the spirit of God-the Holy Spirit-knows the thoughts of God. Therefore, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. 

  2 Tim. 3:16 『All Scripture is God-breathed...』 

  2 Pet. 1:20-21 『Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of

  Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never 

  had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were 

  carried along by the Holy Spirit. 』

The Bible is "God-breathed" and it was written by the prophets, "as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This clearly testifies that God the Father, Jehovah, is the Holy Spirit. 

The Bible = God-breathed book The Bible = A book written by prophets being carried along by the Holy Spirit Therefore the Holy Spirit is God.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and God the Father, Jehovah, are one God.

God the Son, Jesus = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong

Let’s confirm that God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, are one God. 

  Isa. 9:6 『...a son ...will be called Wonderful Counselor... 』

  John 14:26 『"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send 

  in my name, will teach you all things..."』

The Son is the Counselor, and the Counselor is the Holy Spirit, so we can easily conclude that the Son, Jesus, is the Holy Spirit. 

Therefore, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not separate, but are one. God the Father-Jehovah, God the Son-Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong, are one God. 

The Holy Spirit Is a Personal Being

The Holy Spirit is not a kind of energy or an electric wave. The Holy Spirit is a personal being who has feelings (Rom. 15:30), who grieves (Eph. 4:30), who speaks (Rev. 2:7), who groans (Rom. 8:26), who intercedes (Rom. 8:26), who testifies about God (John 15:26), who teaches (John 14:26), who gives commands (Rom. 8:29), who keeps us from preaching in certain places (Acts 16:6-7), who thinks (Rom. 8:27), and who has been blasphemed (Matt. 12: 31-32). 

  John 14:26, NASB 『"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will 

  send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance 

  all that I said to you.』

The Holy Spirit is referred to as "He," meaning that the Holy Spirit is a personal being. 

  Matt. 28:19 『"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them

  in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"』

If the Holy Spirit was not a man with character, but merely an invisible, active power-like an electric wave, or energy-how would it be possible for the Holy Spirit to have a name? The fact that the Holy Spirit has a name proves that the Holy Spirit is a man, with character. 

God commanded us to be baptized in the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit, because He would administrate His salvation work with three names (of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) according to each age. By calling out the three names through which God showed His authority, God’s prophets are to baptize people and commemorate God. 

God’s name was "Jehovah" when He played the role of the Father, and it was "Jesus" when He worked as the Son. Then, how should we call upon God when He is working as the Holy Spirit? The name of the Holy Spirit is Ahnsahnghong. 

Since God told us to "baptize (people) in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," we need to understand that the "Trinity"-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one God. By this understanding we can receive abundant blessing and we can participate in God’s administration of salvation, which has been carried out through the Trinity.

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong & God the Mother - Conversation with God, Prayer

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

It is really hard for a person to have little or no conversation with the people around him. Like a felon, who is imprisoned in solitary confinement, completely isolated from others, we become spiritually disconnected from God if we do not have conversations with Him. In this situation, we can feel no joy, nor can we fully obey the will of God. 

Above all, we need to have a conversation with God in order to fulfill His will. For example, to obey the words of God-"Go and make disciples of all nations," we need to repeatedly ask God, "When shall I go? Of whom shall I make disciples? How shall I preach to them?" and continually pray to God to allow us circumstances to do as He has told. Only through continual conversations with God, we can fully obey Him. 

Mother told us to preach the gospel very actively, full of hope and laughter, this year. To obey the words of Mother, we should always talk to God through prayer and do what pleases God.

Prayer is the breath of the soul

Let me talk about a brother. He was eager to put his faith into action, but at some moment his faith began to cool, without knowing the reason for that. It was not because he lacked confidence in the truth or because he was troubled or persecuted. Of course, he did not neglect studying and preaching the word of God.

He didn't realize why his faith was cooling down, and it troubled him. One day, he heard the news about a fire on TV. After that, his heart began to burn again. I asked him what made him restore his faith. He said that through the fire accident he realized something of great importance. When he was watching the news, he focused on the fact that most of the victims died of suffocation from the smoke rather than from the heat. Then suddenly he was reminded of God's words, "Prayer is the breath of the soul."

'What will happen if I do not breathe spiritually?' 

When he thought this way, he came to know the reason why he failed to stand firm in faith even though he diligently attended worship services and preached the gospel. Reflecting upon himself, he realized it was prayer, the breath of the soul, that he really needed. Though he believed in God, he wan't having earnest conversations with God; rather, he lived the gospel life by his own efforts and zeal. That was why his faith stagnated rather than grew.

He earnestly prayed for repentance, asking God to allow him to have a continuous conversations with Him. After that, he prayed to God for everything, no matter how small. As he talked to God in prayer every day, his heart overflowed with thankfulness even in distressing and difficult situations. His faith became much more active and stronger than ever before.

Give yourselves to prayer at all times

As I heard of the brother's gracious enlightenment, I came to realize that our conversation with God is an important key to the growth of our faith. If one feels empty inside and the fervor of his faith diminishes, even though he is diligent in attending services and is active in gospel preaching, it shows that he does not have enough time to talk to God every day.

Now, let's take a look at ourselves. If we feel our soul becoming weary and losing its vigor, we need to ask ourselves how much time we spend in conversation with God. And we also need to examine ourselves whether we pray just mechanically.

We can not fulfill the gospel ministry with our own strength. We absolutely need help and advice from Almighty God. In spite of knowing all this, we do not often talk to God. So the Bible emphasizes that we should devote ourselves to prayer-a conversation with God.

Col 4:1-3 ... Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, ... 

Ro 12:9-12 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

God has chosen us, knowing our weakness. What if we, who are so feeble and lacking in ability, try to do the gospel work with our own wisdom and strength, without asking God for help? Can we fulfill the work of God? Never.

God richly provides everything we need if we confess our weakness and ask Him for help. Our forefathers of faith described in the Bible gained wisdom, courage and strength through their conversations with God whenever they faced difficult and desperate situations.

Elijah gained courage through his conversation with God

When King Ahab reigned over the northern kingdom of Israel during the period of the Divided Kingdom, the prophet Elijah was delivering a message from God. There were 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah, who were supported by Jezebel, the Queen of Israel. Elijah fought all alone against the 850 false prophets at Mount Carmel and defeated them all with the strength provided by God. It was the power of prayer that enabled the great victory (1 Kings 18).

This made Jezebel furious. She tried to kill Elijah, and he fled from her into the wilderness. Then he said to God, "Lord, take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

God consoled Elijah and refreshed his weary soul and body. He thought he was alone, but God told him that there remained 7,000 faithful prophets. God's words gave him great joy and encouragement. Through his conversation with God, he took courage again, so he could carry out his mission as a prophet (1 Kings 19).

Thus, our forefathers of faith had continual conversations with God throughout their lives. Though the followers of God were inferior in number to the wicked and seemed far weaker than the evil ones, God encouraged the little flock, saying, "Do not fear," "Take heart," "I am with you," ....

With His powerful words, God floods our hearts with exceeding, overflowing joy. A continual conversation with God unceasingly inspires the courage and fervor of faith within ourselves.

Moses led the people through his conversations with God

The prophet Moses also had continual conversations with God when he led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. For it was impossible for him to lead such a great number of people to Canaan without God's help.

The Red Sea lay before them, and the Egyptian army was right behind them. At this desperate moment, Moses earnestly cried out to God, "Lord, what shall I do? I've been trying to lead Your people according to Your will. But now the Red Sea blocks our path in front of us. Please open the way before us." Then God immediately answered his prayer.

Ex 14:15-18 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. ... "

Moses did as God had told him. As he followed God's direction, the Red Sea was divided so that about 600,000 men and all the women and children could go through the sea on dry ground. God Himself did everything that He had planned. Moses needed only to hear God speaking to him through prayer and follow His instruction. 

After the Exodus, Moses continued his conversation with God so that he could cope with all the crisis situations in the desert. 

Nu 11:1-2 Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire died down. 

Nu 21:4-9 ... they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!" Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. ... So Moses prayed for the people. The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Whenever calamities befell the people as the result of their sins, Moses mediated between God and the people. He prostrated himself in prayer and asked God to forgive their foolishness and rebellion and to guide him to the right path. God answered all his prayers and led him.

Moses intently focused on his conversation with God in order to lead one nation, Israel, to Canaan. Now, we are to lead all nations into the kingdom of heaven in obedience to the will of God. We should talk to God more frequently. What happens when we try to fulfill the great work of the gospel ministry without God's help? We will soon become frustrated and give up, being limited in our ability. However, if we have continual conversations with God, all doors will be opened for us.

Ask, seek, knock

Looking back at our prayer life, we can realize that all our prayers have been answered. As we prayed that we would be able to participate in the gospel, God has called us to be His fellow workers. As we prayed for world evangelism, God has opened the minds of all peoples in the world. Of course, this is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, but our prayer can speed up God's prophetic timetable.

So Jesus tells us to always pray and not give up. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of prayer through His teaching as follows: 

Lk 18:1-8 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, '... yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'" And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? ... " 

Lk 11:5-13 Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.' ... though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. ... If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" 

The unjust judge finally granted the widow's request because she came to him every day and cried, "Give me justice." And in another parable Jesus says that if one goes to his friend at midnight and persistently asks him for something, he will get up and give him as much as he needs because of his importunity, not because he is his friend. How much more will our Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to His children who ask Him! We need to understand what God is really talking about in the above parables.

God waits for His children to talk to Him. If we ask, seek and knock according to the will of God, we will receive, find everything and the door will be opened for us. 

As children pester their parents constantly if they want something, so we should continually ask our heavenly Father and Mother to fulfill our spiritual wishes. God always answers our prayers unless we ask for things that may harm our future. 

There should be frequent talks between family members. According to statistical survey, 95% of lawbreakers suffered from a lack of communication with their family members during their adolescent period. And according to another survey, a major cause of divorce is also the lack of communication. 

Let us communicate intimately with our family members, and have more conversation with God. Conversation is necessary to preach the gospel. There should also be intimate communications among all the members of the Church. Through our mutual conversations, we will share things together, as a proverb says: "Shared joy is double joy. Shared sorrow is half sorrow." 

However, we should avoid all ungracious conversations. When the people listened to the ten faithless spies, they became rebellious and disobedient to God. And Eve's conversation with the serpent brought all mankind's fall and death. We should not have a conversation unpleasing to God but talk about things that give faith, hope and courage, helping each other understand God's love.

God, our gracious Counselor

God is the most gracious counselor to us. God gives joy and courage to His children who talk to Him and also give whatever we ask for. 

The Bible describes God as the 'Counselor' who counsels and helps us in all our troubles. As our Counselor, God provides us with a solution for every problem we face, small or great. 

Solomon enjoyed talking to God. As a result, he gained wisdom and made his kingdom strong; and as a bonus, he received riches and honor, too. On the contrary, the kings of Israel who had no conversation with God did evil against Him. The absence of conversation with God, who is love, caused them to be tempted by evil spirits and manifest their evil tempers, which led to violence.

Let us fulfill the world mission through lots of conversations with God this year. In our continual conversation with God, we shall understand and follow the will of our heavenly Father and Mother. 

Eph 6:10-19 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ... Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests....

Though we put on the whole armor of the Holy Spirit, we can do nothing without prayer. In order to fully activate the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we should have an ongoing conversation with God. 

Through conversations with God, we will be able to witness a miracle like the parting of the Red Sea. Let's diligently seek, knock and ask, so that we can preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. As heavenly children, we should have frequent conversation with God, seeking to develop a righteous character. Then God will allow us to bear much good fruit and save the whole world.

May God bless you all.

Ahnsahnghong, the Name of Savior - Teaching of Christ Ahnsahnghong From Mortal Body to Immortal Body

Ahnsahnghong, the New Name of Jesus Christ.
World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

People of Zion participate in the festival of life, which God grants, by keeping the Passover holy every year. The Gospels of the New Testament show that Jesus established the Passover as the new covenant, saying, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" (Lk 22:15).

Why did Jesus eagerly desire to celebrate the Passover with His disciples? It was because He wanted to accomplish His administration of redemption to save the sinners, who were bound to die, by making their bodies immortal through the Passover of the new covenant. People say that the manna coming down from heaven or Lazarus' rising from the dead is a miracle. In actuality, however, there is no greater miracle than making human beings, who were destined to die eternally, immortal beings forever through the Passover. Let's look into God's wondrous miracle of changing our mortal bodies into immortal ones and take a look at the words of promise concerning it. 

Human beings are all slaves to sin

Everyone born into this world cannot escape death. Although it is said that man is the lord of all creation, he must yield to the power of death in the end. So, we cannot help but say that man is a slave to sin, rather than the lord of all creation. 

Heb 9:27 『Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,』 

Ro 7:24-25 『What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? . . .』 

The above words in the book of Romans show not only Apostle Paul's personal anguish and lamentation, but that of all people. Man is to live a weary, hard life, being chained to death. In order to live a longer and healthier life, people seek medical help from famous doctors or good medicine even though it costs so much, but nobody can escape death and after death they are to face judgment. The Bible tells us this fact. 

Ps 90:9-10 『All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. The length of our days is seventy years?or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.』 

Just as the Bible says that we "fly away," our life passes away very quickly. Even for such a short life span, people live a sinful life that is not pleasing to God, and all of their days pass away under the wrath of the Lord; their life is filled with trouble and sorrow and it fades away quickly. Living without knowing God is like rushing towards death?such a life is just like a breakless car. So, Solomon testified that everything is meaningless if we look deeply into life. 

Ecc 1:1-11 『The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? . . .』 

People make all kinds of efforts for meaningless things, but eventually their life ends in death. Since Solomon realized this emptiness of life, although he had everything?wealth, splendor, power and wisdom which everyone envied, he came to the conclusion that all of man's toilsome labor under the sun is totally useless, saying, "Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." 

God has given us the Passover, the feast of life

God looked down from heaven on human beings living such empty and meaningless lives, and took pity on them. Having pity on us who couldn't escape the agony of death and the tortures of hell in the future, God came down to this earth to give us eternal life. 

Heb 2:14-15 『Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death?that is, the devil?and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.』 

Jn 10:10 『"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."』 

God Himself came to this earth to grant eternal life to human beings who were destined to die?this is the most blessed and joyful news for us. Now, let's see how God gives us eternal life. 

Jn 6:53-57 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. . . ."』 

To save us by letting us eat His flesh and drink His blood, God has to sacrifice Himself. For so many sinners who are dying, God has established the principle of truth?that is giving them eternal life by sacrificing Himself. If a kernel of wheat dies, it sprouts and blooms and produces many seeds?a hundred times or a thousand times what was sown. This is the principle that God has taken. 

The flesh and blood of Christ that grants eternal life is given to mankind through the Passover. 

Mt 26:17-19, 26-28 『. . . So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. . . . While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."』 

Lk 22:7-15, 19-20 『. . . When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. . . ." And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."』 

Jesus says that we have eternal life if we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood. By saying this, Jesus means that He will give us eternal life if we eat bread and drink wine on the Passover. God has given us the Passover in order to redeem us, mortal beings, from death and grant us eternal life and then take us to heaven. This is God's ultimate will contained in the Passover. So, in the book of Luke, this Passover is described as the "new covenant" which Jesus established while He was on the earth. 

The kingdom of heaven where those who have received the promise of eternal life can enter

The Passover of the new covenant is not just a feast, but it is God's promise to lead mankind to the way of eternal life. The Bible calls this blessed news the "gospel." So, Apostle Paul called himself a servant of the gospel or a minister of the new covenant. Thus, he made it clear that the gospel is the new covenant. 

God came to this earth and established the Passover of the new covenant through His precious blood to give us eternal life. Let's find out the reason why God wanted to give us eternal life. 

Rev 21:1-4 『Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. . . . Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death . . .』 

The kingdom of God is an eternal world where there is no death. To live where there is no death, the first condition is to have eternal life. So, in order to bring us to that place, God has promised us eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover of the new covenant, and has opened a new and living way by which those who have eternal life can go back to heaven. When the everlasting kingdom of heaven comes, those who have received the promise of eternal life in the truth of the new covenant will be changed into the spiritual beings over whom death can never reign again and will go to that eternal place. 

1 Co 15:50-58 『I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed?in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. . . .』 

This is the promise of God. God has promised that He will change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones in a moment, at the last trumpet. The promise of eternal life is a gift from God, which is granted only to those who partake of the bread and wine which represent the body and blood of Christ by celebrating the Passover of the new covenant. For them, there is a living hope that at the last trumpet, the dead will be raised and those who are still alive will be changed and they will meet Christ together in the air. 

1 Th 4:13-18 『. . . For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.』 

This is the scene where the mortal body is changed into an immortal body as stated in 1 Corinthians. This perishable body puts on the imperishable, and this mortal body puts on immortality?this happens to the people who keep the Passover of the new covenant, who live in the promise of God. On the contrary, those who do not live in the new covenant cannot receive the promise of eternal life. Without the promise of eternal life, how could they be changed into immortal beings? 

In order to change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones, God has given us the Passover of the new covenant, the truth of life. Therefore, the apostles celebrated this precious Passover year after year, and even after the Apostolic Age it continued to be celebrated. However, at the Council of Nicaea held in A.D. 325, the Passover was completely abolished by Satan. 

Afterwards, the Passover, the truth of life, disappeared from the earth for a long time. After the 1600-year-long period, Christ who came to this earth a second time restored the Passover to His chosen people in the last days. By this, God's work of salvation is to be completed. We can confirm this through the prophecies of the Bible (Heb 9:28; Isa 25:6-9). 

The Passover through which God promises us life

God makes streams gush forth in the desert and the buds of life come out on dry branches. This promise of God is fulfilled through the Passover of the new covenant. Those who receive this promise of life will become immortal, and their mortal bodies will be transformed into immortal, imperishable bodies. This is the teaching of the whole Bible. 

Heb 9:15-22 『For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance?now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. . . .』 

The new covenant has the power to enable those who are called by God to receive the promised eternal inheritance of heaven. Some people may ask doubtfully, "It is merely a piece of bread and a cup of wine. How can we have eternal life just by eating the bread and drinking the wine?" However, the Passover contains a promise that God has made to us. 

Christianity is a religion based on God's promise. We are blessed by believing the promises which God has made to us and putting them into practice. No matter how diligently we believe in God, unless we celebrate the Passover, it is nothing but our own personal faith without God's promise. 

"I will bestow blessing on you if you keep the seventh-day Sabbath." This is a promise between God and His people. "I will give you eternal life if you eat bread and drink wine on the Passover." This is also a promise which God has given us. We may eat bread and drink wine in ordinary times, but God doesn't give any promise to that bread and wine. God has especially chosen the Passover to fulfill His promise to us. The Bible says that if we believe the promise of God and put it into practice, God will change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones so that we may experience the glorious moment when we will meet Christ in the air. 

Relying on the promise of God, we participate in the holy and precious Passover. So, we should live according to the example of Christ, following the path He walked. Our thoughts have to resemble the thoughts of Christ, and our behaviors should also change, so that we may become worthy to be called Christians. Since Christ came to this earth in order to save the world, our goal in life should be the same as that of Christ. Let's preach the gospel of the new covenant to all nations, especially to the countries where the good news has not yet reached, so that they can all participate in God's work of salvation. 

To preach the gospel of the new covenant to the whole world, many brothers and sisters are now flying to and from all nations, like clouds, like doves to their nests. All our brothers and sisters in Zion! Let us strive even harder in preaching this gospel and depend firmly on the promise of God, so that we may become worthy enough to enter eternal life.

May God bless you all.

Ahnsahnghong, the Name of Savior - Christ Ahnsahnghong, Surely He is God Almighty

Ahnsahnghong, the New Name of Jesus Christ. 
World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

I believes in Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong.

The Bible also testifies about the Second Coming Jesus.

Christ Ahnsahnghong is - that He is God, the 2nd Coming Christ!

Ever since I learned about the Passover I’ve been so happy and excited. Think about it… I have received God's flesh and blood; I have become a true child of God.

And of course now that I know this precious truth I want everyone to know also, so of course I told my relatives about it because I want them to receive Eternal Life.

‘What? Are you crazy? You don’t have to do that, just believe and have faith and you will be saved’. It was shown to me the verse written in the book of Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

And another that goes, Romans 5:1 “…since we have been justified by faith…”

Are you serious? Justified thru faith only and not keeping the Passover? Doubts started rising in my mind. But of course at the Church of God World Mission Society they taught me thru the Bible what is Faith in God’s point of view not mens.

According to that verse we are SAVED and JUSTIFIED thru faith. What about Romans 5:9? “Since we have now been JUSTIFIED by his blood…”

Justified-> By Faith

Justified->thru his blood

Then what is Faith? Christ’s blood. And how can you receive his blood? Luke 22:20 “…this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”lt so bad, I doubted Gods words. Faith means action and the action is to partake in The Passover. God taught me a lesson, James 2:17 “in the same way, faith by itself, if is not accompanied by action, is dead”. I want to keep until the end.

Thanks to Christ AhnSanhngHong for bringing us the Passover back. He has to be God because only Almighty God will give us Eternal Life and he did by bringing it back.

Christ Ahnsahnhong is the Second Coming Jesus, who has brought salvation to us through the Passover, according to the prophecies of the Bible. Let's believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, and we will have eternal life and go to heaven.

May God bless you all.

God the Mother WMSCOG - Heavenly Family & Earthly Family

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

God(Christ Ahsahnghong) said that there is our God the Mother(Heavenly Mother) in heaven. Let’s find out about Heavenly Jerusalem Mother ( God the Mother )through the Bible in World Mission Soceity Church of God.

  Heb. 8:5 『They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.』

All of the earthly systems are a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. The family system is the same. Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed to us the existence of the heavenly Mother by teaching us about the heavenly family system through the earthly family system. 

Everything within the spiritual world is reflected on this earth. In other words, everything on the earth is a shadow, and the things in heaven are the realities of what is on earth. 

God established the earthly family system to show us that there is also a family system in heaven. The reason why God made every family on the earth has a father, a mother, and children was to reveal that in heaven, as well, there is a Father, a Mother, and children. God's providence is to let us know that there exists a God the Mother in heaven, as well as a God the Father. 

Do you want to be a part of the heavenly family? Let us find out how we can be members of the heavenly family. 

House

What are you reminded of when you hear the word "family"? Don't you think of a "house"? Jesus also mentioned a "house" many times in the Bible. 

  John 14:1-3 『"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my 

  Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going 

  there to prepare a place [house] for you. And if I go and prepare a place [house] for 

  you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.』

Jesus said that the Father's house surely exists. As of now, the house has been prepared. Then, who will be the members of this house? The family system described in the Bible is paternalistic. As you can see through your physical family, the first, main member of the house is the father. Therefore, if there is a father in the families on the earth, there must also be a Father in heaven. 

Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong

Let us find out if we have a Father in heaven. 

  Heb. 12:9 『Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we 

  respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits 

  and live!』

The God in heaven is our God the Father. Just as we have a physical father on this earth, we have a spiritual Father in heaven. He is God the Father, Ahnsahnghong. 

Children of Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong

Who comes to mind next when we think of a family? Most people will think of a "mother." But before we consider "mother," we have to think about what kind of person can be called a "father." No one can be called "father" unless he has a child. No mater how old a man is, if he has had no children, who would call him "father"? The title "father" is only used by children. 

Therefore, a family must have children. Let us find out if our heavenly Father has children. 

  Matt. 12:46 『While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood  

  outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are 

  standing outside, wanting to speak to you." He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and 

  who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my 

  brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and 

  mother."』

Here, we can find the words "brothers" and "sisters." Just as we have physical brothers and sisters, we have spiritual brothers and sisters. God's children, who call upon the God in heaven as "Father," must follow the will of the heavenly Father. In the Church of God, the children of the heavenly Father keep the Sabbath, the Passover, and all of the other truths, according to the will of the Father in heaven. The Church of God follows the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, and we are brothers and sisters. 

Heavenly Mother Jerusalem

We have studied that there exist a God the Father, and His children, in the heavenly family. Then, who is left? It's Mother. 

  Gal. 4:25-26 『Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the 

  present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the 

 Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』

In this verse we can find the words "our mother." "Our" refers to the children who believe in God. This verse reveals that there exists a heavenly Mother to the children who will be saved. 

So far, we've studied about which members compose a family, and we have confirmed that we have a spiritual family in heaven. Just as we have fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers in our physical families, we have our spiritual Father, brothers, sisters, and spiritual Mother in our spiritual family. 

The Family Must Be Connected by Blood

What connects a family together? It's blood. Just as physical children inherit their father and mother's flesh and blood, the spiritual children inherit the spiritual Father and Mother's flesh and blood. If the physical family is connected by physical blood, then the heavenly family is connected by heavenly blood, because what is on earth is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. 

  John 6:53-55 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the

  Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and 

  drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is 

  real food and my blood is real drink."』

Jesus fed his people with His flesh and blood, so the heavenly Father and Mother's blood and flesh are now in us. Only God has eternal life. The flesh and blood of God? who gives eternal life?has been given to us, God's children. Thus, we have become eternal beings and we are able to call upon God, "Abba, Father!" 

Right to Become the Children of Father Ahnsahnghong

Then, through what truth can we receive the right to become God's children? How can we inherit the flesh and blood of our heavenly Father? 

  Matt. 26:17-19 『On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came 

  to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the 

  Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher 

  says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples 

  at your house.'" So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the 

  Passover.』

  Matt. 26:26-28 『While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, 

  and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the 

  cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my 

  blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.』

As shown above, the Passover bread is Jesus' body, His flesh, and the Passover wine is Jesus' blood. By eating and drinking the bread and wine of the Passover, we can receive God's flesh and blood and become God's children. 

Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who brought the Passover in this last age. Christ Ahnsahnghong is our spiritual Father who brought us the Passover, which spiritually connects us with God. Our spiritual Mother is the true God who gives us birth and brings us up. Don't you want to be a member of the spiritual family? Let us all become God's children, receiving the flesh and blood of our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and our heavenly Mother through the Passover of the new covenant, so that we can inherit the kingdom of God. 

May God bless you all.

God the Mother - Abraham's Family and Mother

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

God(Christ Ahsahnghong) said that there is our God the Mother(Heavenly Mother) in heaven. Let’s find out about Heavenly Jerusalem Mother (God the Mother) through the Bible in World Mission Soceity Church of God.

The character Abraham is used to represent God in the Bible. Through the history of Abraham's family, God has revealed to us how we can inherit the kingdom of heaven. 

Isaac was the one who received Abraham's inheritance. Even though Abraham had another son named Ishmael, born through Hagar, God did not allow Ishmael to receive the inheritance of Abraham. Rather, God bestowed the inheritance upon Isaac, who was born through Sarah. The reason why Isaac was chosen as Abraham's heir was that Isaac was the son of Sarah, who was free. This history shows us that the heavenly inheritance will be given to those who are born of the heavenly Mother, who is free. 

Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that our heavenly Mother does in fact exist and that She is truly the biggest mystery hidden within the Bible. 

Let us study "The History of Abraham's Family and Mother," taught to us by Christ Ahnsahnghong. 

Abraham Represents God

First of all, we need to recognize who the character Abraham represents in the Bible. 

   Luke 16:19-31 『"...The time came when the beggar died and the angels

   carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In 

   hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, 

   with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham...' "』 

As you know, this parable is about a beggar, named Lazarus, and a rich man. The parable tells of Lazarus, who died and was carried to heaven, and a rich man, who was sent to hell to be tormented. Lazarus was obviously carried to God's side after he had died; however, the Bible states that Lazarus traveled to Abraham's side. In the parable, the rich man, who went to hell, called up to God in the distance; however, the Bible states that the man saw Abraham, and called up to him, saying, "Father Abraham." Who is the only one who is worthy to be called "Father" in the spiritual world? God is the only one who can be called upon in this way. Then, whom does Abraham represent? Logically, the character Abraham was chosen to represent God. Therefore, the inheritance of Abraham can be likened to the inheritance of God, the kingdom of heaven. 

Isaac, the Heir of Abraham

Then, let us find out who was appointed as Abraham’s heir. There were three candidates who could have been chosen as the heir of Abraham: Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac. Among them, who became Abraham’s heir? It was Isaac who was appointed. We need to understand the reason why Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir. 

   Gen. 15:1-4 『...But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me 

   since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of 

   Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant 

   in my household will be my heir." Then the word of the LORD came to him: 

   "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be 

   your heir."』 

When Abraham was an old man and had not yet borne a son, he asked God to allow his servant Eliezer to be his heir. However, God did not allow Eliezer to become Abraham’s heir, revealing that a son would be born from Abraham’s own body and that he would become his heir. Some time later, Hagar, Sarah’s maidservant, bore Abraham a son: Ishmael. 

   Gen. 16:1-15 『Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she 

   had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The 

   LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; 

   perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai 

   said...So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the 

   son she had borne.』

Ishmael was born to Abraham through a maidservant named Hagar, and Abraham asked God to allow Ishmael to become his heir. 

   Gen. 17:18-19 『And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live 

   under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you 

   a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as 

   an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』

When Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing," God did not allow Ishmael to become his heir. Instead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son through his wife, Sarah. Isaac was born as God had promised, and of the three?Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac?Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir. 

The Key Factor in Deciding an Heir Is "Mother"

Let’s study the reason why God chose Isaac to be Abraham’s heir. Both Eliezer’s father and his mother were slaves, neither of them was free. This is the reason why God did not allow him to be Abraham’s heir. Ishmael’s father, Abraham, was free, but his mother, Hagar, was a slave and not a free woman. This is why God could not allow Ishmael to become Abraham’s heir. Isaac’s father, Abraham, was a free man, and his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The fact that Isaac had been born of a free woman was the big difference between Ishmael and Isaac, and this discrepancy became the key factor in choosing Abraham’s heir. 

In those days, the eldest son inherited all of his family’s property. Since Ishmael was older than Isaac, he should have become the heir? that is, if God had made His decision according to the paternal line. Ishmael was not chosen to become Abraham’s heir, even though he was Abraham’s eldest son, because his mother was not a free woman, but a slave. Thus, it isclear that the decisive factor in choosing Abraham’s heir was his mother. 

What we need to focus on while studying the history of Abraham’s family is not merely the story of a man and his family. As you know, the Bible is not a storybook to tell us of men and their families. Nevertheless, God repeatedly mentioned the story of this particular family. Actually, the history of Abraham was a shadow of what was to happen in the future. In order for us to know who could become God’s heir, the story of Abraham’s family was written, as a prophecy. 

Therefore, through the history of Abraham’s family, we can clearly understand that the decisive factor in choosing an heir is the mother. As Isaac became Abraham’s heir through Sarah, his free mother, we can become God’s heirs through our heavenly Mother, who is a free woman. Only those who believe in the heavenly Mother?only the children who are born through the new covenant?can inherit the heavenly Father’s kingdom. Let us read one more verse testifying about the heavenly Mother. 

   Gal. 4:22-31 『...But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our 

   mother...Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time 

   the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of 

   the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of 

   the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in 

   the inheritance with the free woman's son." Therefore, brothers, we are not 

   children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』

The Bible declares that we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Ishmael could not inherit his father’s estate because his mother, Hagar, was only a slave, not a free woman. On the other hand, Isaac was chosen to become Abraham’s heir because his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The Bible also testifies that we, like Isaac, are the children of promise, the children of the heavenly Mother, who is free. 

In today’s world, there are three types of people: those who are like Eliezer, those like Ishmael, and those who are like Isaac. The first type of people, who are like Eliezer, are atheists, who do not believe in Father God or in Mother God. The second type of people, who are like Ishmael, are those who believe in Father God, but do not believe in Mother God. The third type of people, who are like Isaac, are those who believe in Mother God as well as Father God. According to the history of Abraham’s family, which one of these three types can become an heir of the kingdom of heaven? Only the third type of people, who are like Isaac, can be recognized as God’s heirs. There is no doubt about it. 

Which group of people do you want to be classified with? If you want to be like Isaac, you must first become a child of the free woman. Thus, you must accept the heavenly Mother, who is free. The Bible testifies to this fact. 

God said, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge" (Hos. 4:6). What kind of knowledge is God referring to in this verse? We must recognize that we have a God the Mother, as well as a God the Father. We must accept Elohim God. Also, we must firmly believe that God is our Mother, who gives us salvation alongside our Father. Only after we come to realize this can we say that we have the knowledge of God, and that we will not be those who are destroyed from a "lack of knowledge." 

The Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit is God Ahnsahnghong, and that the Bride is Jerusalem Mother. Let us accept God Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, who give us the water of life in these last days, so that we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

May God bless you all.

The Greek word 'φιλ σε' means 'I love you.' That was the Apostle Peter's answer when Jesus asked him three times, "Do you love Me?"

Do you love Me?

Today, numerous crimes are occurring in every corner of the world. The crimes become more cruel and dreadful than in the past. People have lost humanity and forsaken even their basic morals. The reason is that their love both for themselves and for others grow cold. Even many Christians do not follow God. They are not changed by the word of God; rather, they've turned away from the love of God.

Christ came into the earth to plant on our hearts the love which we had neither in heaven nor in earth. He showed us His everlasting love through His sacrifice. He sacrificed Himself to save us who were expelled from heaven after rebelling against God due to our pride and disobedience. Then, are we ready to give a definite answer to God, "I love You," like Peter? Let's check ourselves.

Jn 21:15-17 "When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord, ... Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."

Three times Jesus asked Peter the same question, "Do you love Me?" Then Peter gave Him a constant answer, "Yes, Lord, You know that I love You." After confirming Peter's steadfast love, Jesus entrusted His sheep to him, saying, "Feed My sheep." 

Without love for God, no one can be a shepherd or a deacon or even a member of the Church. Though we all have been entrusted with the gospel, we cannot fulfill it with jealousy, envy and rivalry, but only with burning love toward God. 

The Bible shows how much Peter loved Jesus. When a large crowd sent from the chief priests came to seize Jesus, Peter drew his sword out and cut off the ear of the servant of the high priest. He loved Jesus so much (Mt 26:47-53; Jn 18:1-11). When Jesus told His disciples that He had to suffer many things and be killed, Peter pleaded with Jesus, saying, "Never, Lord!" because he loved Jesus (Mt 16:21-23). Even when Jesus severely rebuked him, saying, "Get behind me, Satan!" Peter did not lose his love for Christ. Rather, he built his faith on the rock and became a good shepherd pleasing God. 

Unless we absolutely love God like Peter, we can not follow the Lamb, whom we are to follow wherever He goes, and we will not be saved after all. The 144,000 are the people who absolutely love and believe God.

Deliver God's love with burning heart

We live in the last days, the gospel age, and are entrusted with the task of delivering the love of God contained in the 66 books of the Bible. This mission cannot be fulfilled by an obligatory preaching, but with a burning and earnest love toward God.

Php 2:5-8 "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: ... being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross!" 

If our attitude is not the same as that of Christ, gospel preaching itself will be a torment. However, if we have the attitude of Christ, we will be able to love our brothers and sisters as Christ loved us, and we will never fail in loving God.

When we preach the gospel or worship God or deliver a sermon, without love for God or the mind of Christ we are only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 

For whom did Christ, being in very nature God, suffer? For us who sinned in heaven and were driven out from heaven, He offered His life as a sin offering, didn't He? 

"My children! I've loved you to the point of death. The suffering on the cross and the scorn of the creatures couldn't stop My love toward you." Don't you hear the earnest voice of God? 

Let's think of how much we've loved God, how much we've practiced the love He showed us as an example even to the point of death on the cross. Haven't we become weak because of a small thing, or forsaken God's word without restraining our impulse?

If we do not love God absolutely, we cannot stand in faith to the end; when the wind blows, we will be swept away like chaff. Only the wheat filled with the love for God will be given the crown of glory.

Isa 53:1-12 "... He was despised and rejected by men, ... Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, ... But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed ... " 

The above words show us vividly how much our holy God suffered in order to give peace and joy, eternal life and blessing to us sinners who were destined to die. To take us to heaven, to blot out all our iniquities, our God tore His flesh and shed His blood. By eating His flesh and drinking His blood through the Passover of the new covenant, our mind has been transformed into the mind of Christ. By keeping the Passover of the new covenant, we remain in Christ and Christ in us, so that we can follow the path of suffering that Christ walked, have the same attitude as He had, and practice His love, every hour, every minute. 

Now it's our turn to love God. Until now God has loved us unconditionally, boundlessly; now we are to preach the gospel with a fervent love toward God, shouting, "φιλ σε!" 

Following God's way of unconditional love, we should first sacrifice ourselves and love brothers; we are to do the gospel work, discerning what pleases God. When He entrusted us with the work of the gospel, He demanded nothing of us. He merely asked us, "Do you love Me?" If we can confidently answer, "φιλ σε [I love you]," we will be able to faithfully carry out our mission as prophets, bearing much fruit.

The work which our loving God entrusts to us

Let's find out how much God loves us, weak and feeble. 

Isa 49:14-18 "But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, ... " "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. ... " 

Our Father visited His children wherever they were-in a mountain valley or in a village by the sea-even if it took three days and nights. Through His flesh and blood, our Father opened the spiritual eyes of His children who did not recognize their own heavenly Parents, being tempted by Satan. How shall we repay our Father for His love?

Let's look at the life of our forefathers, who walked the way of faith before us, and examine our faith. 

Heb 11:24-26 "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward." 

Heb 11:33-38 "who through faith conquered kingdoms, ... Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword-the world was not worthy of them. ... "

Though the martyrs of the Early Church were stoned, sawed and killed by the sword, they loved God strongly, so the Holy Spirit was always with them. As a result, they left beautiful trace of faith which even the angels envy, and became a good example to the 144,000 who will finish the age of the gospel. 

They loved God and followed the paths of Christ, laying down their lives. But since we are given the glory to be transformed alive, shouldn't we reveal our love for God more? Though the path of the gospel is difficult, we are to diligently preach the gospel with joy, giving thanks to God who's entrusted the wonderful work to us among the people like the sand by the sea.

'How can I graciously deliver the will of God?' 'How can I find my scattered family more, so that God is pleased?' If we preach the gospel with this kind of attitude of mind, we will be happy and joyful day by day. But if we tell the gospel from a mere sense of duty, without love for God, we will not please Him and may meet an unfortunate ending. When we can confess our love for God, all the problems of our faith are solved.

Only if we love God ardently, our faith will never cool down; ungracious words will not come from our lips; we will not act against the word, "Love one another"; we will never neglect the gospel preaching-how can we refuse God's earnest request? The more we love God, the more our faith becomes perfect.

How much did the saints of the Early Church love God? The Bible records that the world was not worthy of them. They spread the aroma of Christ all over the world. How gracious!

We are allowed the Holy Spirit seven times stronger than at the times of the Early Church. We love the Holy Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life. We are to follow Them with faith like the perfume of myrrh.

Our forefathers loved God, not fearing death. We are the 144,000 saints who are to practice greater love than they did. Let's carry out our God's request, "Feed My sheep," shouting, "φιλ σε!" from the bottom of our heart. Until the 144,000 stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb, let's shout, "φιλ σε!"

May God bless you all.
