Christ Ahnsahnghong - Age of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit

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

Don't you think you should have faith through studying the Bible, if you truly wanted to know about Christ? The word of God can only be found in the Bible, no other source.

Let's study about the Christ through the Bible.

• Ecc. 3:1, KJV "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..."

In this world, everyone has a certain goal and purpose for their lives. Likewise, we should set a certain goal for our faith: the salvation of our souls, eternal life.

• 1 Pet. 1:8-9 "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

In order for His people to receive salvation, God divided six thousand years into three ages, and allowed a different Savior’s name for each age.

• 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”』

As is commonly known, the name of the Father is “Jehovah,” and the name of the Son is “Jesus.” Baptism is the first step that we can take towards becoming a child of God, and to be baptized correctly, we must first know the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit.

The Savior in the Age of the Father

The most important aspect of our salvation is to know, and to receive, the name of the Savior. During the age of the Father, God granted salvation to those who believed in the name of Jehovah.

• Isa. 43:11 『I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.』

In the age of the Father, salvation was dependent upon knowing and accepting the name of Jehovah. Therefore, salvation was not given to those living in the age of the Father, who either didn’t know, or who refused to accept, the name of Jehovah.

When the age of the Father ended and the age of the Son began, Jehovah came in the flesh, using the name “Jesus,” as had been prophesied (Isa. 9:6-7).

The Savior in the Age of the Son

The Bible states that in the age of the Father there was no Savior apart from Jehovah, and that in the age of the Son there was no Savior apart from Jesus.

• Acts 4:11-12 『”He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”』

When God gave the names of Jehovah and Jesus to the people, He did not explain that each of these Savior’s names would only be used for a specific time period or age. Thus, many people have become confused, believing that the Bible contradicts itself.

With a full understanding of the Trinity, however, you will realize that the above verses hold no contradictions. Jesus is in His very nature God (Phil. 2:5), the very God Jehovah who granted salvation during the age of the Father. Since Jesus is, in fact, Jehovah, there is no contradiction between “There is no savior apart from Jehovah,” and, “There is no other name given to men by which we must be saved (apart from the name of Jesus.)”

During each age God allowed a different name of the Savior, and thus, each age also had a specified time frame and limit. In other words, salvation was given to those who had accepted the name of Jehovah in the age of the Father, and once the age changed to the age of the Son, salvation was given to those who pressed on to know and to accept the name of Jesus.

When God gave the name Jesus to the people?the Savior’s name in the age of the Son?only those who believed and called upon the name of Jesus Christ were able to receive salvation.

The Savior in the Age of the Holy Spirit

Now we are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God has given us a new name of the Savior.

• Rev. 3:12 『”Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.”』

• Rev. 2:17 『”He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.”』

A “white stone with a new name written on it” is mentioned in the above verse. In this instance, the stone represents Jesus (1 Pet. 2:4), meaning that a new name other than the name of Jesus would be given to the people of that age.

Just as salvation was withheld from those who were stuck on the name of Jehovah and failed to receive Jesus as their Savior in the age of the Son (Rom. 15:4), salvation will never be given to those who are stuck on the name of Jesus in this age.

Those who had accepted the name of Jehovah for 3,500 years were not able to accept the name of Jesus in the age of the Son. Only the disciples accepted Jesus, the Savior in the age of the Son, who had come as prophesied. The Bible prophesied that there would be a Savior in the age of the Son. Even though Jesus came in fulfillment of all these prophecies, the people insisted on believing in only Jehovah, following their own ideas instead of Bible’s prophecy. Where are all of the people who lived in the age of the Son and who refused to accept Jesus as their Savior?

We must consider this matter carefully and break our own fixed ideas, allowing our minds to accept God’s thoughts. The Bible testifies that there will undoubtedly be a name for the Savior of the Holy Spirit’s age. We need to understand God’s providence of salvation?His allowing a different Savior’s name for each age?and we need to accept Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Savior’s name in this age of the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ new name.

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Brought the Salvation - World Mission Society Church of God

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

I give thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought us the Passover again so that we can return to our eternal home, heaven.


In order to realize the true 2nd coming Christ in these last days, we must take a careful study of the Bible and see what are the characteristics of Christ when he appears a 2nd time and in doing so realize Him who has returned to save us.

Heb. 9:28 "So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him."

Thus, Christ purpose for His second coming is to bring salvation. Then, what is salvation according to the Bible?

Luke 1:77 "And to bring His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins."



Meaning 2nd coming Christ must give us forgiveness of sins. Let us therefore see what the Bible testifies according to being forgiven.

Eph. 1:7 "In Him(Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace."

Through Christ blood we have forgiveness of sins! So how can we attain the blood of Christ and thus be forgiven?

Matt. 26:17-19, 26-28 "...So the disciples did just as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover...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."

On the Passover night Christ promised us His precious blood, forgiving sins. So the true salvation comes by keeping the Passover. Therefore, in order to recognize the true Second Coming Christ He must restore the truth of the Passover, New Covenant.



In these last days, Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who has restored the truth of life and established the Passover once again.

Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ.





May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - About the East

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

The Bible prophesies that when Jesus comes to the earth for a second time, He will come in a cloud [in the flesh] in the same way He came for the first time. Therefore, there must be prophecies which testify where He will appear in His second coming. At the time of His first coming, it had been prophesied that Jesus would come from Bethlehem. Like this, the Bible also prophesies about where He will appear in His second coming. The Bible prophesies that He will be born in Korea, located in the east, at the ends of the earth.

The Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, was born in the flesh, in Korea―the land in the east―in 1948, according to the prophecies of the Bible. How can we not bow down before God when every word of His prophecy is accomplished? We, the members of the Church of God, believe what is written in the Bible. We sincerely hope that you may recognize the Second Coming Christ, of whom the Bible prophesies.



Korea, the Country in the East, at the Ends of the Earth
Isa. 24:15-16 『Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.”』

The above prophecy reveals that God’s chosen people will give glory and praise to the God in the east. When we read this chapter from the first verse, it is clear that this prophecy is concerning the last day—the last day when God will ruin the earth’s face and will burn up all of the inhabitants. When God banishes all of the gaiety form the earth, a certain group of people will shout for joy and will give glory to God, meaning that God would guide His chosen people on the last day, from the east.

Then, where is “the east”?

Christ Ahnsahnghong - The Parable of the Fig Tree

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

The Bible prophesied that Jesus would appear a second time (Heb. 9:28).
Ahnsahnghong—whom the Church of God believes in as their Savior—is Jesus who has come a second time, according to the prophecy.

Then, when is Jesus prophesied to come a second time? Why does the Church of God believe that the Second Coming Christ is Ahnsahnghong?

Through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus revealed that He would come for the second time in 1948, when Israel—represented as the fig tree—would gain its independence. Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 according to the prophecy of the fig tree, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Christ.

Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ Jesus, came from Zion in 1948, as had been prophesied in the parable of the fig tree. Now He is calling you. Will you let Him stand at your door, or will you open the door and receive Him?

Christ Ahnsahnghong - Cloud and Flesh

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

The Bible prophesies that Jesus will come on a cloud, for a second time, in order to restore the lost truth and to lead the children of God into the kingdom of heaven. When Jesus came two thousand years ago, He fulfilled the prophecy of the book of Daniel by "coming withe the clouds of heaven" (Dan. 7:13-14). Actually, Jesus came as a man, in the flesh. Jesus is prophesied to come a second time on the clouds of heaven, meaning that He will come as a man, in the flesh again.

Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, has come in the flesh, fulfilling the prophecies of the Bible. When Jesus ascended into heaven, the angels asked the people, "Why do you stand here looking at the sky?" The members of the Church of God are not looking up into the sky, and are not waiting for the second coming of Jesus. We have already received the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, who has come in the flesh according to the prophecies of the Bible. The Church of eagerly preaches to the people who are still looking up at the clouds of the sky, informing them that their Savior, Christ, has already come.

We truly wish that all of the readers will open their hearts, will study the words of truth, and will receive the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, who guides us to salvation.

May God bless you all.

King Cyrus was fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong

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

King Cyrus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 46:11 initially, Christ Ahnsahnghong, the savior who came from the far off land in the east South Korea, completely fulfilled the prophecy by bringing the New Covenant Passover in order to release His people from the spiritual Babylon in this New Testament age.
Let's get to know about Christ Ahnsahnghong through King Cyrus.

King Cyrus was fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong

King Cyrus fulfilled the prophecy

by conquering Babylon and releasing the physical Israelites who were captured.

"However, he did not completely fulfill the prophecy."

Just like many stories in the Old Testament, such as being freed from Egypt and enter the land of Canaan after crossing through the desert, the history of the Israelites being freed from Babylon through a king who appeared from the east is just a shadow to let us know what is going to happen in the New Testament times. The prophecy in Isaiah is only a shadow of what will happen in the New Testament as its reality.

The book of Revelation prophesies the appearance of the Savior who will destroy the spiritual Babylon (the great prostitute, false church) and to set His people free.

• Revelation 18:1-4  After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;’ ”

Like this, the Savior has to appear to destroy the spiritual Babylon in the New Testament. 

As He appeared, the earth was illuminated by His splendor and the Babylon was revealed as a dwelling for demons. Then, what is the truth that reveals a dwelling for demons? That is the Passover.

We can be confident that the Passover is the light of truth which reveals the identity of Babylon and destroys it, by studying the promise given on the Passover in the time of the Exodus (Exodus 12:12),” and also by studying the history of Hezekiah and Josiah (2Ch 30:1-31:1. 2Kings 23:1-25)... (READ MORE...)

Christ Ahnsahnghong - Pray to God Almighty Christ Ahnsahnghong 1

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

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.

God Ahnsahnghong

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.

Christ Ahnsahnghong

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.

God Almighty Christ Ahnsahnghong

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.

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - God's Appointed Feast, the Day of Firstfruits

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

Let us introduce the seven feasts in three times, that is, the seven thunders which were unsealed by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came again as the Root of David.

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. 

Origin

When the nervous Israelites were being chased by the Egyptian army, God allowed them to cross the Red Sea under His protection, even though they had been so terrified. When God put the Sea?which had been divided?back in its place, the Egyptian army that had pursued them was buried in water. God commanded the Israelites to annually commemorate the day when they had landed on the other side of the Red Sea, so that they might remember God's great power revealed on that day. This is the origin of the Day of Firstfruits (Ex. 14:26-31). 

Ceremony

The word "firstfruits" reveals its meaning. On the day after the Sabbath, the Israelites brought a sheaf of the first grain to the priest, and the priest waved the sheaf before God so that it could be accepted on behalf of the people (Lev. 23: 9-11). 

On the same day, in the New Testament times, Jesus gave bread to two disciples who were traveling to a village named Emmaus. After the disciples broke the bread that Jesus had given to them, their spiritual eyes were opened, and they recognized Him (Luke 24:13-35). 

Prophecy and Its Fulfillment

As God had commanded, the priests were to wave a sheaf of the first grain before the LORD on the day after the Sabbath (Sunday) so that God would accept their offering.

Lev. 23:10-12 『"When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath."』 

Here, the first grain?the firstfruits?stands for Christ, who was raised from the dead as the firstfruits of those who had fallen asleep.

1 Cor. 15:20 『But Christ had indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.』

The offering to be presented on the Day of Firstfruits, a sheaf of the first grain, was to be brought to God on the day after the Sabbath?that is, Sunday. The firstfruits stand for Christ, so it is only logical that Resurrection Day, when Jesus rose from death, would be on Sunday, the day after the Sabbath.

Mark 16:2-6 『Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away..."You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here."』

The Day of Firstfruits is the shadow of Resurrection Day. As the Day of Firstfruits was celebrated on the day after the Sabbath, Sunday, so Resurrection Day is to be celebrated on Sunday, in fulfillment of the prophecy. Therefore the Day of Firstfruits, Resurrection Day, is celebrated on Sunday every year. By rising from the dead as the firstfruits of those who had fallen asleep, Jesus became the true offering of the Day of Firstfruits, belonging to the seven feasts of three times. 

Matt. 27:52-53 『The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.』 

In those days, the holy people who had been saved through the gospel became the ripe grains of the wheat harvest, and today, we have become the ripe grains of the last autumn harvest (Ex. 23:16).

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - The Passover of Christ is Once a Year

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

Many people are not familiar with Passover and those who know about call it the Jewish Passover. 3500 years ago Jehovah God commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover by slaughtering a lamb and those who kept it were saved from the destruction.

Jesus Christ came 2,000 years ago and he commanded his disciples to keep the Passover, not killing a lamb but by eating his flesh and his blood for he came as the Passover lamb for the forgiveness of sins.

1Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Jesus Christ made this Passover an everlasting covenant for his children; that include us, Christians. Christ kept Passover as an example not only for the disciples but also for us, if we don’t keep the Passover we can’t receive Eternal Life, therefore we can’t go to Heaven.

John 6:53 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.

Only on the night of the Passover Jesus said this bread is my body and this wine is my blood (Matthew 17:26-28). But when in AD325 by the Council of Nicaea Constantine abolished the Passover, he instituted Communion, but such thing is not in the Bible, is not part of the teachings from Christ but from men. Passover disappeared and that’s when everyone started keeping what they thought it was Passover and keeping it whenever they wanted.

We have 850 denominations and each follows as they please, some keep Communion, others Eucharist or the Holy supper. Some keep it every week, others once a month and others every 6 months. Not only has the name been changed but also a date. God already gave an appointed time to the Passover.

Leviticus 23:4 " 'These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.’ "

By sacred calendar the Passover is to be kept on January 14th at twilight (sunset) not whenever we want for we can’t change Gods commands, it is only once a year. Does it matter the date? YES! GOD SAID! We can’t take his words lightly we have to do as he said.

Exodus 13:10 You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.

Please consider the Passover, it’s for our salvation. Nowadays we keep the Passover because of our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong, he is the 2nd Coming Christ who brought back the Passover.

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - God's Appointed Feasts

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

Today I was able to go to Zion and study about the Feast of God. First, I watched a History channel documentary on the truth about Christmas. The truth is Christmas is not a Feast of God. In fact, it is a pagan Holiday to worship the birth of the sun, Mithra. Even when reading in the Bible, there is not a specific date for Jesus’ birth. If there was to be a date, it would be sometime in the spring. Shepherds were outside with their sheep the night of Jesus’ birth therefore, it could not be in the winter. In the documentary, it stated that December 25 is the birthday of Mithra, the sun god.

When you look in the Bible, the appointed Feasts of God are found in Leviticus 23:1-44. The Feasts of God are Sabbath, Passover and Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles. Through the Feast of God we can receive blessings and eternal life. Also, where the Feast of God are kept, that is where we can meet true God. God said in Isaiah 33:20 “Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals, your eyes will see Jerusalem.” Zion is the place where the Feasts of God are kept. In the book of Psalms 132:13 “For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling,” God lets us know we can find God in Zion. The true Zion was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong because he brought the Feasts of God. Truly all thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who dwell in Zion, World Mission Society Church of God.

May God bless you all.

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.

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

Ahnsahnghong, the New Name of Jesus Christ.

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.

Ahnsahnghong, the Name of the Savior - Philo Se

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.

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.
