Title: God Makes Everything Lawful.
Before sending the Son, God first sent the law to His people so that they could live by the law. The laws God gave were different from the laws of the world, and if those living under the law did not follow the law, sin was immediately established, resulting in physical illness or death due to God's curse.
Most of the cases that lead to death due to breaking the law correspond to those who violated the 4th commandment about God above, and those who violated the 6th commandment on the ground below are usually cursed with disease. Because of this principle, there were a lot of people who were particularly ill among the people of Israel. Seeing this, the neighboring countries of Israel were trying to make fun of the Hebrews for living in groups of only fools.
This phenomenon is even more pronounced when the word of God ceases to be heard in the land of Israel after the end of the prophet Malachi. When God's word to the Israelites was cut off and they lost their way and wandered in darkness, Satan was not afraid to use God's law as a weapon and put the Israelites under his feet indiscriminately.
Those who knew the law well and were in leadership positions did not get sick because they kept the law even formally, but the common people had no choice but to break the law because their throats were vineyards, so they were forced to eat and live under the immediate Roman rule. , who broke the law, one by one they all fell into Satan's hands and were put under a curse or even death.
At that time, God will send His Son among them to save those who have died for breaking the law. This was God's plan to save mankind through His Son before the ages. If no one can change this plan, even if tens of thousands of years pass, this plan will never change.
In today's text, Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I did not come to abolish it, but to fulfill it." Based on these words, Jesus said that those who were physically ill came to him and said, “Jesus, Son of David! Have pity on me!” Or when he humbles himself and confesses his sins, saying, “I am a sinner,” or “I want to be healed,” or acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah sent by God, Jesus sets them free from the grip of Satan. or healed of physical ailments.
But what Christians need to know is that Jesus cast out demons and healed the sick in order to save those who broke the law when they were faced with death.
Therefore, today, Christian pastors cast out demons and heal the sick with the gift of the Holy Spirit, not the process of healing those who broke the law like Jesus did, but the Gentiles, who lived without any law like dogs and pigs, caught anything (harmful to the body). It is only a process of healing the body that has become ill as a result of eating, and casting out demons from the Gentiles is a crime that is at least remorseful for them as human beings, which is a violation of the law for them. At that time, the demons entered through their thoughts, and because the sinner honestly confessed their conscience, the gifts of the Holy Spirit cast out demons from them in the name of Jesus.
So, what the gifts of the Holy Spirit (pastors) healed and cast out is not the process of forgiving the sins of breaking the God-given law, but the sin of deceiving their consciences, or eating anything, and getting them into their bodies. It was just the process of curing the disease that had occurred.
However, there are clear issues that Christians living under the Holy Spirit must also be treated. It is a violation of the spiritual law that they did not fully follow the Holy Spirit. Most Christians know that they believe in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit and are saved through it, but the Holy Spirit was not sent to the Gentiles as the Spirit of Salvation, but the precious gift of grace given to the Gentiles through the shedding of Jesus' blood. It's a gift.
The Gentiles who received the gift of the Holy Spirit lived unaware of God and came to know that God lives through the Holy Spirit. However, it is not easy for Gentiles with corrupt hearts to live according to the Holy Spirit with their hearts.
Because what is visible is reality and what is invisible is spiritual... But as the Gentiles pursued the visible reality, in the end, everyone turned against the Holy Spirit and worshiped in the flesh (Sunday holy water, tithes, offerings, Loyalty and service), they fail to fully give, and they commit sins.
No Christian is free from the sin of breaking the spiritual law. If this goes on, it is obvious that all Christians will stand before the Lord's stern judgment seat. God, who did not see this, sent His Son again to save the spiritual people. This is the heart of God's love for humans.
Christians must not reject God's last love for His Son. Spiritual people are no less prone to sin than the Jews. Even the sins of violating the law of the Holy Spirit will be more than enough to cover the heavens, and if God decides to deal with us according to the law, we are in a position to suffer a hundred times more, even if we are tormented.
But after such grace, there should be no excuses or excuses left for us. It is clear that such a person is still not fully aware of his identity.
As I said at the outset, the words that come out of the mouth of God are different from the words of men, so he never overturns what he once said. The word that comes out of the mouth of God is life if man hears it and death if he does not hear it. So the word of God is terrifying. However, if you follow the law in this way, no one will ever be saved.
