From the journey of life until death in the land of Canaan,
Today's text is about leaving Ur of the Chaldeans, the dark forest, the home of various idols and pagan cultures.
to the bountiful fields of faith in Jehovah God.
This is the scene where Abraham is called and is chosen.
This is the secret of mankind's redemption that has been hidden since before the foundation of the world.
It is also a moment that is more clearly revealed in history (Galatians 3:8-9).
What God said to Abraham, “Leave and go,”
This is because God had a will and plan for Abraham.
In this way, God loves us as God's people.
You have to realize that you have a special purpose and plan.
Only then will our lives be changed, like Abraham,
You will live a life of great faith.
We need to know for sure what God's plan and will are for us.
It obviously has nothing to do with our plans and our intentions in our minds.
You need to know that God has a plan and will.
how and when it will appear
Find and realize when and what is the time to work through us.
You have to live the life you want to practice it.
It is like stepping into an unknown land.
Abram's total obedience resulted in a great change.
His decision to cut off all worldly relationships
Only relying on promises from above
I decided to endure all the coldness and persecution in the world.
It is the result of noble self-renunciation (Hebrews 11:8).
It is based on the belief that recognizes life as a life of a stranger.
It has become an example of the supreme faith of all believers (1 Peter 2:11).
God's will is for everyone in the world to be saved.
He wants us to go to the kingdom of God. (1 Timothy 2:4)
Therefore, ethnicity, ancestry, status, gender, property, education, etc.
Transcending all worldly conditions and circumstances, the gospel will be witnessed to everyone
Therefore, the opportunity for salvation is universally available to all.
God Himself has provided an easy way.
It is only if you believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Savior.
It is the way to salvation.
“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
In this way, God's plan is a simple and easy way.
Abram obeyed God’s command to ‘leave and go’.
You will receive the blessing God has promised because you believe it and put it into practice.
The name of Abram was changed to Abraham of the great man.
Because God through Abraham
There was a plan to make it a source of blessing.
Jesus was born through his offspring
It was a great plan to save all mankind through him.
God's will is not limited to the salvation of Abraham's individual.
Just as you have a great and great plan and will
Our salvation through faith in Jesus is also
It does not end with the salvation of just one individual.
Like Abraham, through us we will become a great nation.
Many people are trying to be saved.
Therefore, as God's people, we
We must pray and ask for God's will to be done.
God's will is not in the comfort of us Christians after all.
Christians who believe in Jesus and are saved
You should know that you are trying to become a channel of blessing.
Therefore, Christians live a life that is a channel of blessing and do not give up on that life.
It should become our life of continuous prayer for the soul.
Even though we have not learned and have nothing
Believe and depend on the Almighty God and strive to accomplish God's will.
Living in obedience to God's Word
God's will is done, and the gospel of salvation is preached and preached.
The kingdom of God will bear fruit of expansion.
Therefore, we seek and understand God's will and plan.
You must become a child of God who lives a life that conforms to it.
Every Christian barely keeps his or her faith
The church should not be a life that maintains only the minimal form of faith.
Only Christians gather at church to rejoice in salvation and strengthen fellowship
I don't live the life of a church or a Christian like that.
May God's great will for us be accomplished.
We must pray for God's plan for our church to be fulfilled.
In other words, our lives are what we want to achieve through our church and through us.
It is a life that seeks God's will and plan and devotes himself to it.
We pray that the lives of all of us and the mission of our church will be so changed.
