Title: Heaven Is Right In Your Heart!
The word of God is life.
If a human being, who was created in the image of God, violates the word, sin is immediately established and leads to death. The word “death” here does not mean physical death of man, but spiritual death. The spiritual death of man means that God and the teaching materials have been cut off. When man, who was created as a spiritual being, is cut off from God and the teaching materials, immediately the devil takes over him and takes over him as the master (God).
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's word in the Garden of Eden and ate the fruit of the garden, sin was established and God and the teaching materials were cut off. Their eyes were opened because of sin. It is said that from that time on, when they learned that they were naked, they were ashamed and covered their secret parts with fig leaves. When they are facing God, there is no sin, so they are not aware of any shame even when they are naked. However, when they disobeyed the Word and sin was established, they began to feel shame from then on.
Satan is aiming for this very point, saying, 'When your eyes were darkened, you could not see your nakedness, but as I said, after you ate the fruit of the garden, your eyes are opened and you are ashamed to see yourself naked. be surrounded Satan took it a step further, and God said that if you eat from the fruit of the garden, you will all die, but not only did you not die after eating from the forbidden fruit, but your eyes have been opened and you can now discern good from evil like God it will spur Thus, the devil accuses God of being a lying God and orders him to cut off his relationship with God forever and follow him.
From this time on, all humans born as descendants of Adam turned away from God and served the devil as God. made to live There must be a living spirit (Jesus) in the human heart, but the dead spirit (ghost) took its place because God and the teaching materials were cut off. From then on, all humans came to know and serve the devil as God, and to live by serving a dead spirit (ghost) as their master. However, there is only one God, the Father of all human spirits, and only one Christ is the Master of all human beings.
Since God knew all of these facts, He sent His Son to the humans in order to break the devil's tactics and deliver humans from the den of evil. However, humans who have already become Satan's servants do not know the Son of God who has come to rescue them from their sins, and they tried to kill Jesus because they did not follow their laws and the traditions of the elders by arguing with everything that Jesus did. They had no idea why God had given them the law. The law is not for the right, but for the wrong. But they had no idea what the law meant to them.
Even Gentiles today have no idea what it means to send the Holy Spirit to believers first. As a result, even today, everyone is talking about salvation when they receive the Holy Spirit. The Bible defines that no one can be saved by the law, the law of the Holy Spirit, or the law. Therefore, the Israelites who lived under the law at that time were unable to control their physical sins, and the Christians who live under the law of the Holy Spirit today are unable to control the sins in their hearts.
Today, no matter how many people are filled with the Holy Spirit, they only pretend to be good when they are filled with the Holy Spirit. The reason is that the sin that lurks in our hearts wants to lift up our heads again and live according to the desires of the flesh when the filling of the Holy Spirit disappears. So, when everyone goes to a revival meeting or a fasting and prayer center, it seems like they are living under grace for a while, but as time passes, they go back to the past.
The Son of God will come before mankind to solve this problem of mankind. The Israelites at that time and Christians today are all just sinners who still live under the law. But everyone likes that they are saved by the law, so how could God not be worried? Because that was not enough, the Israelites captured the Son of God, who came as the Savior to forgive their sins, for not keeping their laws and traditions, and delivered them to the Romans to die. How severe must God's wrath be? We must remember clearly that the massacre of Jews perpetrated by a man named Hitler at the end of the 19th century was no accident.
We must look back on the lives of the Israelites in the past and shed light on our lives today. Today's Christians think that everything has been accomplished by receiving the Holy Spirit, but you should know that it is only the beginning. No matter how filled with the Holy Spirit, the filling of the Holy Spirit cannot last 24 hours, 365 days, 10 years, 20 years. If the filling of the Holy Spirit does not continue, the fleshly thoughts that are lurking in the heart raise their heads and try to satisfy their desires. In the end, sin begets sin, and it is the turning away from the Holy Spirit, which ends in sin. That is why today's Christians, even those who were so diligent in their life of faith at first, cannot overcome the devil's tactics in the end, and they all walk the path of corruption. Unbelievers see these Christians and point their fingers at them.
Now, the only person who can solve this problem is the Son of God sent by God. In today's churches, they deceive the saints as if they would lead humans to salvation, but the reality is that they have not been able to solve the problem of sin in their hearts. The high priests, lawyers, and scribes at the time of Jesus were also people who said they were born at the time, but they were not able to solve any of their sin problems.
Therefore, today, unbelievers or believers, in order to receive the solution of the problem of sin in their heart, they must believe in the Son God sends to receive the solution of their sins and enter eternal life. Otherwise, since the problem of sin cannot be solved, no one will be able to enter into eternal life. The reason why the Jews could not enter eternal life because they did not believe in Jesus after living a religious life for so long is because their sins were not resolved.
Today, just because you have attended church for a long time, the sins you have in your heart disappear, or just because you have a high awareness in the church does not solve the problem of sins in your heart. Salvation comes only when the problem of sin in the heart is resolved. “Even if heaven is here or there, don’t go! Heaven is right in your heart!” When we consider the meaning of these words of the Lord, we can see that when Christ, the master of man, is in man's heart, then the kingdom of heaven is realized and salvation is achieved in man's heart.
