As Christians, we want to be a person God wants and people like.
You need to think about who you are.

The Christian God wants is a conscientious object, a novel person, and a holy person.
All.

He is also a man who does not sin.

He is a person with a heart.
(3) Living a life that bears the fruit of the Holy Spirit
(4) A person who strives to live by the highest standards of a Christian.
To live purely, like the 17th century England's Puritan. they go to America
They crossed over and built America. (1) having no remorse in conscience (2) before people
(3) Have you tried to live a life with a person after God’s own heart?
All.
二. A person who lives with a sense of ownership.
The success and failure of an individual with a sense of ownership and the rise and fall of that society and nation
It is an important ritual that determines the rise and fall. Ownership refers to a sense of responsibility.
The opposite concept to the sense of ownership is the sense of servitude and the spirit of the guest.
1. What are you a master for?
(1) You must be the master of yourself.
There is no one in the world more precious, heavier, and more valuable than me. i'm worth
It is the center and the center of the society. The owner of my life, more precious than the whole world
This is me. As I create my success and my happiness, I will be victorious and
A clear goal, steady effort, and wise decision are necessary to live a crazy life.
I hope there is.

I have to show a sense of ownership in order to build a happy family. happy

Each person has a job as a means of living to make a living. then work
is very important for my happy life. We live through work

A workplace without a sense of ownership will eventually go bankrupt. I went to Russia last week.
I've heard people's stories. Socialism and communism have no sense of ownership.

They say they will arrive more than 30 minutes late. In the end, because there is no sense of ownership, communism
it was ruined
three. God is pleased with people of positive faith.
Christianity is a positive religion.
Genesis 1:28 "God created man and blessed them, saying,
Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; the fish of the sea and the fish of the air
Rule over birds and every living thing that moves on the ground.”
It is called a mandate, that is, a cultural mandate.
Human history has been led by positive people.
Of those who went to spy out Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb who were positive were Canaan.
went into
1. Positive people look for absolute possibility.
In John 6, Andrew was a positive person. Let's do it. It's possible. positive

Enemy, human, demonic and evil. No. can not do it. say you can't

Everything." He said, "To the enemy, today is a good day, and to me it's a good day."

3. A positive person sees everything as good.
Ambassador Muhak and Taejo Lee decided to joke with each other, so Seonggye Lee became Ambassador Muhak.
He said that he was like a buddha, so when he saw Taejo, he said he was like a Buddha. why so
In the eyes of a pig, everything looks like a pig, and in the eyes of the Buddha, everything looks like a pig.
They say that everything looks like a Buddha, so in the end, Master Muhak won.
I see a big tree from the mustard seed. Therefore, positive believers are happy.
4. God is pleased with people of positive faith.
Hebrews 6:11 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God
must believe that he is, and that he rewards those who diligently seek him.
"I did.
Of course, there are many different types of beliefs.
(1) Precious faith (salvation), perfect faith (2) Faith that works
(3) Faith that overcomes the world
Jesus claims and perfects faith. and the holders of great faith
you are happy Mark 8:13 says, “If it is possible, what do you mean?
There is nothing impossible.” And in Matthew 19:26, “With man this is impossible.
But with God all things are possible.” Philippians 4:13, Zechariah 4:6
I hope you will become a person of positive faith just like the Word.
4. God loves faithful people.
“Slaves, do not do it blindly, but in a sincere heart, in the fear of the Lord.
Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as to the Lord, and not to men.
Knowing that you will receive the reward of your inheritance, you serve the Lord Christ.
(Colossians 3:22-24)"
There are no good characters like 誠 in the world. Samaon, a famous Chinese scholar
Gong said his disciple asked him to give us the best letters.
He wrote the character 誠 (sincerity) and told him to live by this character.
The most important text in mediation is the saint.
誠者天之道也 Castle is the road to heaven
誠之者人之道也 To practice sexuality is the way of man.
誠者萬物之始終 Castles are the beginning and the end of all things.
Isn't our Christ Jesus called Alpha and Omega?
誠字 is written for those who will be fulfilled in the words of the Word, but the fulfillment of the Word means that Jesus Christ
says Christ.
John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
In John 1:3, it is said that “all things were created through him”
has come to pass, nothing that has been made has not been made without him.”
And there is nothing that cannot be done with all your heart.
誠 (sincerity), a last name to believe in, a last name to be respected,
It is also called politeness (禮) and sincerity (眞實).
All letters are good along with 誠字.
誠心,誠意,誠實,誠敬,誠監,精誠,至誠,熱誠,忠誠, etc.
The great achievements in human history are the result of our hard work.
Magnificent building (Peter's Temple), Germany's K rn Temple built for 632 years, a strange art
A painting by Ryeo-jagi and Solgeo of Shilla.
Great and wonderful inventions, satellites, rockets, computers
that is the result.
The successful people in history are those who have done their best.
誠 is the spirit of Jesus Christ, that is, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Doing your best and doing your best In other words, doing your best is doing your best.
The French philosopher Gabriel Marcel once said, “The degree of sincerity is the degree of being.”
I did. An unfaithful person is unnecessary everywhere. The more faithful you are, the more
That is to say, it is necessary. Pastors, office workers, university professors and anything else
is.
Luke 12:42 "Be wise and faithful stewards, saith the Lord,
Who will be in charge of the servants of the house and give them food at the proper time? When the master arrives
Blessed is the servant who sees him doing this.”
A man went to a famous teacher and said, "How can I live a happy life?
Do I need to know?" The master replied, 'If you have a haircut, you will be happy every day.
If you buy a new car, you will be happy for a month, if you get married, you will be happy for a year.
If you do, you will be happy for the rest of your life.”
There is an apocryphal story about Peter's bread. If you do your best, you will gain self-sufficiency,
It's a story about what you get.
This man is a capable man. Sincerity rather than saying that I am a learned and wise person
One person is better.
We are Christians.
1. Let's be clean people.
2. Take ownership of yourself, your home, and your workplace.
3, Let's become people of positive faith
'Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as to the Lord, and not to men.
Knowing that you will receive the reward of your inheritance, you serve the Lord Christ.”
