John 5:39
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,
The entire Old and New Testaments speak about Jesus.
The purpose of reading the Bible is to receive salvation through it.
The Bible tells us how we should believe in Jesus and live.
The Lord tells us to obey His will and to repent and receive forgiveness when we disobey.
However, many Christians do not follow this teaching and go down the wrong path.
The path to salvation is to believe that Jesus is the Creator and to obey His words.
As we live in this world, there are times when we disobey because of human greed. We must repent of our sins without making excuses.
The Old Testament contains many accounts of those who perished because they disobeyed and failed to repent.
Looking at their destruction, we learn that we must obey even more to enter heaven.
As we examine the lives of those who perished, we must realize that we must never live like them.
We must quickly correct our wrongdoings, or we will perish like them.
In the Old Testament, the lamb was sacrificed and shed its blood, foreshadowing Jesus's death and shedding of His blood.
In the Old Testament, all who sprinkled the blood of the lamb and repented received forgiveness of sins.
This means that those who believe in the blood of Jesus and repent will be forgiven and enter heaven.
All the sacrifices and religious ceremonies of the Old Testament symbolized and explained Jesus' saving work.
If you read the Bible but do not understand its meaning, you will not be saved. This is because you are not living a life of obedience and repentance.
Why do they not understand the Bible? It is because they read it to satisfy worldly desires.
Obey and repent according to the standards set by the Lord, and you will naturally understand the Bible and attain enlightenment.
If you seek to understand the Bible while acting contrary to the Lord's words, this will not be possible.
How can those who act contrary to the Lord's will walk with the Lord?
Human doctrines, gifts, and prophecies have sickened and confused the hearts of Christians.
Before resolving curses and illness, we must stop going against the Lord and return to a life of righteousness.
While we live on this earth, the promise of entering into rest remains for all. Anyone who repents will enter heaven.
If we live without repentance, various sufferings will come upon us. These are signals from the Lord calling us to turn from our sins.
On their journey through the wilderness toward Canaan, the Israelites suffered greatly.
Many enemies appeared before them, and fiery serpents suddenly emerged from the sand and bit them.
Why did this happen? Because they disobeyed and did not repent.
Those who repented despite the suffering were restored to life, but those who did not repent were all destroyed.
Therefore, only a small number who remained with the Lord until the end entered Canaan.
For them, entering Canaan symbolized our entering heaven today.
Among the people who left Egypt, only those who kept the Lord's promise to the end entered the land of Canaan. Those who failed to keep the promise were destroyed.
This same principle applies to us today. Only those who keep the promise of repentance and obedience will enter heaven.
Fulfilling obedience and repentance is keeping the Lord's promise.
We must not follow in the footsteps of those who failed.
We must not follow human traditions or ideologies, but only the words of the Bible.
Faith is believing in the Creator and obeying His Word. We must not believe in the false theories created by humans.
God commands us not to serve idols.
Covetousness is an idol. When we abandon all greed, we cease to serve idols.
Why do they ignore the truth and focus on other things?
Why do they listen to the lie that they can be saved even if they disobey God's word?
Forgive one another, love one another. By obeying in this way, we will be blessed and enter heaven.
But do they seek any other way than God's?
The Bible is the ultimate prophecy. Why do they seek to accept human prophecies instead of God's?
Obedience to the Lord's word is the ultimate secret to blessing and health. Why do they seek to solve their problems through human prophecies?
If human prophecy is true, then the Bible is wrong.
Why do they follow human doctrines while reading the Bible?
The theory that one can go to heaven without repenting is a doctrine created by humans.
No one can go to heaven through human doctrines.
Jesus is the one who divides our destiny between heaven and hell.
Pastors, unable to enter heaven themselves, teach others the way to heaven.
Man-made doctrines are false paths to heaven. Return to the Bible.
Since ancient times, the Jews have studied and pondered the Old Testament in search of salvation.
But when God came to the world in the flesh as Jesus, they did not recognize Him as God and killed Him.
They read the Bible extensively, but failed to interpret its words correctly.
Do not read the Bible as a means to achieve human goals.
The Bible is not a book of pagan magic.
It is a book that teaches us to live righteous lives, to abandon human greed, to live good lives, and to enter heaven.
You will not enter heaven simply by shouting about it. Those who walk the path to heaven will ultimately enter heaven.
Cast away evil thoughts and embrace goodness. Do not make creation your master, but only the Creator.
The Bible is the Word that reveals Jesus. It tells us that God the Creator came to the world in the flesh to save humanity.
God came to the world in the name of His Son to make us His children.
When Jesus was conceived, the Holy Spirit gave him the name Jesus.
The name "Jesus" signifies that God saves His people from their sins.
Jesus is God Himself. The invisible Father of spirits, God, came to the world as Jesus, visible to human eyes.
God is Jesus, and Jesus is God. This proves that God is not two, but one.
