【1】Understand the true way and be saved
1 Timothy 2:4 He desires that all people may be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.
(1) Understand the true way
ask: What is the true way?
answer: "Truth" is truth, and "Tao" is God → In the beginning there was Tao, Tao was with God, and Tao was God. This Word was with God in the beginning. All things were made through him; without him nothing was made that was made. Reference--John Chapter 1 Verses 1-3
(2) The Word became flesh
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. And we have beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father. … No one has ever seen God, only the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has revealed Him. Reference--John 1:14,18. Note: The Word became flesh → that is, God became flesh → was conceived by the Virgin Mary and was born from the Holy Spirit → [named Jesus]! The name of Jesus → means to save his people from their sins. Amen! No one has ever seen God, only the only begotten Son “Jesus” in the bosom of the Father has revealed Him → that is, to reveal God and the Father! →So the Lord Jesus said: "If you know me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him and have seen him." Reference - John 14:7
(3) The way of life
Concerning the original word of life from the beginning, this is what we have heard, seen, seen with our own eyes, and touched with our hands. (This life has been manifested, and we have seen it, and now we testify that we proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and appeared with us.) We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that You are in fellowship with us. It is our fellowship with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:1-3
(4) Jesus is the Son of the living God
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary! You have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end." Mary said to the angel, "How can this happen to me because I am not married?" The answer was: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, so the holy one who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:30-35
Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered him, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
(5) God sent his beloved Son to be born under the law to redeem those under the law so that we could receive sonship.
Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the name of sons point. Since you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your (original text: our) hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” You can see that from now on, you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you rely on God is his heir.
(6) Receive the promised Holy Spirit as a seal and as a certificate to enter the kingdom of heaven
Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, when you also believed in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. This Holy Spirit is the pledge (original text: inheritance) of our inheritance until God’s people (original text: inheritance) are redeemed to the praise of His glory.
(7) Understand the true way and be saved
John Chapter 15 Verse 3 “Now you are clean because of the word I have spoken to you,” said the Lord Jesus.
1 Already clean: Clean means Holy, sinless →In Him you also believed, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and you believed in Him, in whom you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise →“As Paul says,” that I might be a servant of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles. , to be priests of the gospel of God, that the sacrifices of the Gentiles may be accepted, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Reference--Romans 15:16
2 Already washed, sanctified and justified: So were some of you; but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Reference--1 Corinthians 6:11
(8) Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
John Chapter 14 Verse 6 Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. → It is through “Christ” that He has opened a new and living way for us. The road passed through the veil, which was his body. See Hebrews 10:20.
【2】The treasure is revealed and glorified when placed in an earthen vessel
(1) The treasure is revealed in an earthen vessel
We have this treasure in earthen vessels to show that this great power comes from God and not from us. Note:" baby "that is the spirit of truth , baby that is God's Word , baby that is Jesus Christ ! Amen. So, do you understand clearly? 2 Corinthians 4:7
(2) The death of Jesus activates our old self and causes the life of Jesus to manifest in our new self
We are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but we are not trapped; we are troubled, but we are not disappointed; we are persecuted, but we are not abandoned; we are struck down, but we are not killed. We always carry the death of Jesus with us so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in us. For we who are alive are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal bodies. From this perspective, death is active in us, but life is active in you. 2 Corinthians 4:8-12
(3) The treasure manifested enables us to achieve the incomparable weight of eternal glory
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though the outer body is being destroyed, yet the inner body is being renewed day by day. Our momentary and light sufferings will work for us an eternal weight of glory beyond compare. 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
Hymn: Renewal by the Holy Spirit
OK! That’s all for today’s communication and sharing with you. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us the glorious way. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit always be with you all! Amen
