During the Old Testament, Jews worshipped only at the Temple in Jerusalem.
However, after Jesus came, worship was accepted wherever in the world.
The place of worship is no longer important. The Lord accepts worship offered in spirit and truth.
The only object of our worship is Jesus. We must obey and repent according to Jesus’ words.
God always dwells within us, but those who do not know this truth constantly wander from place to place, trying to meet God.
Those who obey meet the Lord wherever He is, but those who disobey cannot meet Him, so they live in doubt and confusion.
Christians who have one foot on God's side and the other on the world can never have a stable faith.
Those who try to hold on to both the world and God will eventually lose both.
If a pastor loses the truth of the Bible, all of his congregation members will lose the Word of life and wander in the world.
Pastors should abandon human thoughts and preach only the recorded Word of the Bible.
Those who leave the standard of the Bible cannot protect themselves from the deception of Satan.
Because there is no clear standard, every time they hear people’s thoughts, their hearts waver, and their lives become wandering.
What did the Lord command us? It is to not turn aside from His word to the left or to the right or to anything else (Deuteronomy 28:14).
We must walk only on the one path of truth, so when we go the other way, the Lord rebukes us strongly and makes us return.
If we follow worldly friends and enjoy worldly things, we will inevitably be abandoned when the Lord returns.
To prevent us from going down this path of destruction, the Lord always rebukes us for our sins and makes us repent.
We must always live a life of repentance until this life ends, and we must never miss the opportunity to repent.
The Lord comes suddenly, as lightning flashes in the east and west (Matthew 24:27).
When Jesus comes again, Christians who have not prepared their faith to go to heaven will remain on earth (Matthew 25:1-13).
And those who have prepared their faith to enter heaven will be lifted up into the air, and the entire universe and earth will turn into a huge hell, a sea of fire.
So we must always prepare our faith to enter heaven.
The desires of the flesh want to enjoy worldly pleasures, but when we think about heaven and hell, we cannot follow worldly pleasures.
Even if you have fallen into a small sin, you must quickly repent and return to the Lord.
Those who covet and enjoy worldly things will never be able to enter heaven when the Lord suddenly comes.
When the Lord comes again, only those who have prepared their faith among those living on earth will be instantly transformed into imperishable bodies and taken up to heaven.
Revelation 19:8
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
The Bible says that fine linen is not clothing, but the righteous conduct of the saints.
And the righteous conduct of the saints refers to a life of repentance and obedience.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
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.
Only those who repent and obey will be transformed into imperishable bodies and taken up to the Lord in the air.
After God’s people ascend to heaven, this universe will become an eternal burning hell.
2 Peter 3:7,
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
The heavens and the earth are kept for fire by the same word that judged the days of Noah.
There is a tremendous amount of fire stored in space and deep within the earth. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by this fire (Genesis 19:23-28).
The fires are waiting for the Lord to come and judge the world.
When the people of faith receive their resurrected bodies, meet the Lord in the air, and enter heaven,
the universe and the earth will be burned forever by that fire
(1 Thessalonians 4:17).
The kingdom of God is located in the third heaven, the second heaven refers to the universe.
During Noah's flood, the water under the earth burst out and the water in space poured down.
For forty days and forty nights, a great flood of water poured down and rose up on the earth.(Genesis 7:11, 12).
The showers that fall on the world today cannot even be compared to the water at that time.
All the mountains on earth were submerged under water.
The water judgment God had warned of had come to pass.
Now God has warned of a fire judgment. That judgment, too, will come to pass.
Only we must engrave the Lord's promise deep into our hearts and obey.
Those who have worshipped idols until now must quickly abandon their idols and believe in Jesus.
All who believe in Jesus, repent, and obey will be forgiven and enter heaven.
The Lord is patient in judging the sins of those who do not know God.
God punishes more severely those who know Him but disobey His words.
Believing in Jesus means entering into the light of God.
However, if someone who has entered God's light sins and does not repent, they will return to darkness.
Such people will face the Lord's terrible discipline. Those who do not repent despite discipline will be judged and thrown into hell.
All the sins of unrepentant Christians are exposed. When they repent, all their sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus.
Those who close their hearts, are stubborn, hate others, and are jealous, even though the light has come, will never be saved.
Christians who are trapped in the darkness of sin can never go to heaven.
There is no salvation in man-made doctrines, only the Word of God is the true teaching and the Word of life.
However, so many Christians do not believe this truth in the bible.
However, the Lord took pity on us and gave us the grace to believe in the Word of the Bible.
And to increase our faith, God attached Lucifer to us and trained us through various hardships.
He made us know spiritual secrets, made us pray, and fought against the temptations of Lucifer.
Lucifer hates those who know the truth of the Bible very much, and when we are discouraged and disappointed, Satan gets a chance to attack us.
Pastors preach to their congregation not to be discouraged, and pastors themselves sometimes become discouraged when severe difficulties come.
Lucifer uses such times as an opportunity to attack pastors.
Satan is so cruel, when we are having a hard time and encounter difficulties, Satan attacks us even more.
That is why we must always be strong and courageous, whether we live or die, we must only follow Jesus.
Those who cannot endure difficult circumstances and give up their faith will not go to heaven.
