Drunkenness and smoking defile our bodies, which are the temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 3:17)

However, if we repent and stop these sins, we will always be forgiven.

But human doctrines directly contradict the Word of God.

The human doctrine that one can go to heaven without repenting of sins is contrary to the Word of God.

Churches around the world are becoming tainted by human doctrines and are not standing firm on the foundation of God’s Word.

Countless churches are deceived by the human doctrines created by Calvin, Augustine, Luther, etc., who came out of the Catholic Church.

Those who are immersed in human doctrines unconditionally regard those who oppose their doctrines as heretics.

Human doctrines are above God's Bible. Believing human doctrines is not believing in Jesus.

The doctrines created by humans ultimately treat God as a heretic and reject the word of God.

The definition of heresy is not disagreeing with human doctrines, but following other theories instead of the words of the Bible.

Those who consider human doctrines to be of the utmost importance are heretics.

If our church is a heretic, everyone should leave here, because heresy means going to hell.

Heresy is going down a different path from the Bible, and whether we live or die, we must only follow the Bible.

There are far more people today who follow human doctrines than those who follow the Bible. This means that there are more people who think of our church as a heresy.

Jesus' disciples were treated as heretics and were persecuted and beaten by many Jews who opposed Jesus.

They were taken to the Jewish Sanhedrin and beaten, but they were happy instead (Acts 40-41).

This is because their joy in looking forward to the reward of heaven was greater than the suffering of being beaten and persecuted.

When we are beaten to do the work of Jesus, our reward in heaven is accumulated,

But those who sin against others and are beaten will not receive the reward of heaven (1 Peter 2:20)

For Jesus' sake, helping people and sacrificing oneself is ultimately about building one's own reward in heaven.

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share (1 Timothy 6:18).

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death (James 1:15)

There are few church members who do not know this Bible verse, but there are few who believe it and put it into practice.

Most church members are only interested in memorizing the Word of God, not in putting it into practice.

Every church is full of legalism. Everyone says they believe in Jesus, but there are more people who do not obey the word of God.

They dress beautifully, make themselves look good, and drive nice cars.

The stubborn hearts of the believers are not gently changed because they do not abandon legalism and formal beliefs.

To fulfill the law with a heart of love is not to be a legalist, but to obey the Lord.

The purpose of giving the Ten Commandments to humans was to make humans realize their sins.

No human being is saved through the Ten Commandments, because not everyone can keep them perfectly.

When humans realize God's law, they realize their sins and come before God and repent.

In the Old Testament, people realized their sins through the Ten Commandments and repented by offering sacrifices according to their economic level.

The poor offered doves as sacrifices, the middle class offered sheep, and the rich offered cows on the altar.

At first, they truly repented, but as time passed, they offered formal sacrifices and their hearts did not truly repent of their sins.

The Lord's heart is very sad because of our sins, and repenting while realizing this is true repentance.

However, many church members today sin without any hesitation and do not repent, and they do not bear fruit worthy of repentance.

Not being able to bear the fruit of love means that his life is evil, the fruit of love is the words and actions of love.

When evil thoughts enter your mind, if you control and govern them and do not act on them, you have overcome sin and have not produced evil fruit.

When we express evil thoughts through evil words and actions, we have borne evil fruits.

Therefore, Genesis 4:7, If you have done good, why can’t you lift up your face?

Because he sinned, he was ashamed and could not lift up his face.

If he had done good, there would be no reason for him to bow his face.

If he had worked for God, meeting the Father would be a joy to him.

Doing what the Father tells you not to do is committing a sin.

Because sin pricks his conscience, he cannot look up and see the face of his Father.

Sin is crouching at your door. This means that you must be extremely careful about your actions because you are filled with the desire to commit sin.

When our minds are filled with sinful thoughts, this is when we must be extremely careful.

When we cannot control our sinful thoughts, we end up bearing the fruit of sin.

Who does not bear the fruit of sin? It is the one who does not pray and is not filled with the Holy Spirit who commits sin.

When you commit a sin, you must repent. Repenting from sin and washing away sin with the blood of Jesus is the new way (Hebrews 10:20).

Because Jesus shed blood on the cross, there is a way for us to always repent and be forgiven (Hebrews 9:12).

When we repent in the name of Jesus, He washes away our sins and restores us in every way. This is the grace of the Lord.

We receive the grace of the Lord without paying any price (Romans 3:24).

There are few believers who do not know this Bible verse. However, there are not many who truly repent of their sins.

Grace is a gift that is received without paying a price.

In the Old Testament, when people went before the Lord, they could not go empty-handed.

However, in the New Testament, we do not offer sacrifices, but repent with a true heart and go before the Lord.

Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(Matthew 11:28).

Isaiah 55:1, "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

So now is the time to go to the Lord and receive forgiveness without paying a price.

Whenever you commit a sin, if you admit your sin through the Word and repent to the Lord, you will receive forgiveness without paying a price.

This is the grace you receive through the cross of Jesus.

However, if you only repent with your mouth and believe in Jesus in a formal manner, you are believing in a man-made doctrine and will not be saved.

Those who always live according to the lusts of the flesh only say, “I have already repented,” and live without repentance. Such people will not be saved.

The Lord keeps telling us to repent, but many believers do not listen. There is nothing more filthy and evil than man-made doctrines.

There are many who belong to the darkness who repent only with their mouths but cannot stop sinning.

That is why there are children of darkness and children of light in the church.

All people in the world are children of darkness, but among them there are those who try to live according to their conscience, and those who completely abandon their conscience.

However, because they do not believe in Jesus, the blood of Jesus cannot wash away their sins, and they all go to hell.

The first human, Adam, committed a sin, and people call this original sin. Because of the influence of original sin, we commit personal sins.

However, some denominations teach that personal sins never lead to hell.

The sins we commit are personal sins. Adam also committed personal sins.

Since Adam was the first to sin, it is referred to as original sin in theological terms.

The sins of those born after Adam are all personal sins. It is not biblical to claim that one does not go to hell because of personal sins.

Therefore, those who do not understand God's word are more corrupt than worldly people.

Many church members are currently drinking, smoking, acting immorally, fighting with each other, and stealing.

Yet, they do not feel guilty; their conscience is not bothered by their sins.

What are the sermons that many pastors are preaching these days? They say that we have already been saved.

And legalistic churches teach that if we do not keep even one law, we will all go to hell.

They say that if we do not give a lot of offerings to the church, we will die, and they even take away the positions in the church.

They interpret the word of God arbitrarily and force the church members to give a lot of offerings to the church through the law.

The Old Testament says not to come to the temple empty-handed, but it is not like that in the New Testament era.

When you have a grateful heart toward the Lord, you give a thank-you offering to the Lord with a willing heart.

The New Testament is different from the Old Testament. It is that no price is paid when the soul is saved.

We do not pay a price, but simply come to church, repent, and eat the flesh and blood of the Lord. That is the way to heaven.

Those who are financially powerful, giving and serving the Lord with gratitude is accumulating rewards in heaven. However, the only way to be forgiven of sin is through the blood of Jesus.

It would be a bit shameful if someone who entered heaven through repentance had no rewards. However, he entered heaven only through the blood of Jesus.
