Title: Faith as the Source of Blessings
Contents
A. Preface
1. The root of Peter Druckur's success in business administration: When he was 13 years old, he kept on guarding himself, thinking about the question 'What kind of person do you want to be remembered as after you die?' Thanks to living
B. Body
1. Martin Luther's "Four Types of Life"
1) A person who, for whatever reason, is forced to live
2) A person who lives to receive a reward
3) A person who always considers himself perfect.
4) A person who pursues peace and love, but lives only with gratitude on a scale of one to ten
*If you humble yourself and think about yourself, you've worked hard and everything is better than you thought.
2. The process of Abraham becoming the source of blessing
1) Start from receiving the call of God
2) Hearing the voice of God
3) Belief in God's Word
4) Complete obedience to God's Word
(1) Obedience of Elder Man-sik Jo of Jang Dae-hyeon Church
(2) Live with the sense of identity that ‘God knows, protects and guides me’
(3) Making a ‘big concession’ in a conflict with his nephew Lot
3. Kant’s ‘Happiness Principle’
1) You have to work
2) You have to love someone
3) You have to put your hopes on something.
4) You must live by faith
4. Contents that are the source and root of blessings
1) Bless yourself to make others happy
2) Live like a nomad
(1) Living with a heart that allows you to leave quickly → simply
(2) Don't throw it away and throw it away without regrets → Clothes, dishes, and miscellaneous things
3) Live by faith that has been ‘justified’
(1) Abraham's many faults: ? Running away because of a bad year? Making Ishmael by a shortcut? Living with very common logic ('Let Ishmael survive') ? The ruthlessness of expelling concubines
(2) Abraham's strength: Whenever God's word is heard, he obeys unconditionally.
5. The thinker Emerson's theory of happiness
1) Smile often and be happy if you can laugh a lot
2) If you can earn some respect from a wise person, you are happy as much as you are respected.
3) You are happy if you can discern beauty. You are happy if you can find the best in others without showing your faults.
4) I am happy if I see at least one person becoming happy because of me in the traces of my life, starting from the world I was born in, my hometown
C. Conclusion
1. Let's live a life of faith so that we can become the root (source) of blessings from ourselves by using the faith of Abraham as our model (example)
1) Forget all your mistakes and start over
2) Obey God’s love and care without making small intentions
