Title: John 10:26 - Unbelievers
Contents
You do not believe because you are not my sheep.
but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
1. What God is doing
God made it possible for man to believe that He alone is the Creator God. God has made it possible for you to believe that you alone are the Creator God through all things. Through the creation of all things, the annihilation of all things, and the flow of all things, He allowed us to believe that you alone are the Creator God. Nevertheless, people do not make known God's eternal power and divinity through all things. No, knowingly, he did not glorify himself as God, nor gave thanks. On the contrary, his thoughts became futile, and his foolish heart even darkened. Those who do not believe that only God is the Creator God attribute even God's actions to coincidence. It is believed that the cells were created by chance and that this world was created by chance, and that, incidentally, everything in the universe is running smoothly without collision. Those who do not believe in God the Creator, but who believe in coincidence well, are those who produce irony who do not believe. Even so, just as God has already shown His power and divinity through all things, He will show His power and divinity until the day when Jesus comes again and judges, so that no one can make excuses after that.
Since God has made it possible for us to realize God's power and divinity through all things and through people, He will surely reward those who do not believe in Him according to His time. Those who do not even believe in this fact are insisting that death is enough. They even claim that when they die, they are no different from animals, grass, or flowers. I say this because I deny even the fact that I am seeing even though I have clearly witnessed that man has too many powers and divinities unlike other creatures. God has already done all that He is about to do, and He is doing it. God kills and makes people alive at the appointed time. He gives birth, gives you anger, and gives you blessings. God is doing this because He is in control of life and death. It is a person who does not even acknowledge this fact, even though it is well known from the fact that a person cannot control or exercise life, death, and prosperity on his/her own life.
(1) You do not believe.
You, Jesus said, are not just Jews. The faith Jesus spoke of was not just for the Jews. This is a message that is addressed to everyone in the world. These are the words that he intended to lead all people in the world from faith to faith. Otherwise, no matter how much you believe in Jesus as the Christ, you can stumble at any time, weep and grind your teeth in front of a closed door. Belief is not a simple belief. In order to become a good believer, we must study the Bible and experience the power of God that comes out of the Gospel.
(2) They do not believe because they are not my sheep.
Jesus made it clear who the unbelievers are. Those who do not believe do not believe because they are not Jesus' sheep, that is, mine. It is because the sheep of Jesus are different from the way Jesus enters through the door without passing over. Moreover, the sheep of Jesus are accustomed to the voice of Jesus. When they hear someone else's voice other than Jesus' voice, they even run away. Moreover, Jesus' sheep know well that Jesus remembers his name. If you can't even remember your own name, you're already a thief and a robber, not a good shepherd. Thieves and robbers do not enter through the door, but go to another place, so they do not remember the names of the sheep.
Jesus' sheep know how to distinguish between Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and those who are thieves, robbers, strangers, thieves and laborers. At least to this extent, it is the sheep of Jesus who can distinguish and run away. However, although they do not imitate Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and have no good influence, they are not sheep, but goats. They are wolves in sheep's clothing or pretending to be sheep, but they are not Jesus' sheep, so they do not believe in Jesus as the Christ. If it is the sheep of Jesus, only those who follow Jesus, the shepherd. Those who follow Jesus wherever He goes are the sheep of Jesus. Even when Jesus puts us under his yoke with meekness and humility, he does not hesitate and binds himself and follows only Jesus, and in the end, it is the sheep of Jesus who can reach eternal rest.
2. The heart of God
you want to believe
God wants His people to believe well. God wants no one to believe. People want to know well that they are not objects of faith or entrustment. Jesus did not trust those who saw His signs and believed. People want to know well that they are objects of love, not faith or trust. No matter how good a person is, he is only slightly better or slightly worse than himself. Knowing that the only object of faith is Jesus, he wants to become a believer in God through Jesus. He wants to be the sheep of Jesus in order to trust Jesus well. The sheep of Jesus are those who listen only to the voice of truth, that is, the voice of truth. He wants you to know well that you are not listening to the nations of this world.
Matthew 21:32 ?쏪ohn came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but you believed in a publican and a prostitute; and when you saw this, you repented all the time and did not believe.??
Jesus told a parable to the elders of the people. A man had two sons, and when he told the eldest to go and work in the vineyard today, he said he would go, but when he told the second son that he did not like it, and then repented and went. He asked which of the two did his father's will. When the elders of the people said they were second, Jesus said that tax collectors and prostitutes would enter the kingdom of God before you. The reason for this is that John came in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe him, and tax collectors and prostitutes believed, and when you saw this, you always repented and did not believe. The sheep of Jesus not only listen to the way of righteousness, but immediately repent of what is wrong and believe.
3. Who God is
You are a good believer
God has revealed His power and divinity in all things so that people can believe well, and He is shown to a greater extent to people. He is the one who made the sheep hear the way of righteousness.
4. Traces of Jesus (Confession and Sharing)
(1) The blood of Jesus - what you did not believe in
(2) The life of Jesus - what we choose to believe
5. Prayer
You gave me all the conditions to trust
Even though you have given me the gift of the Holy Spirit so that I can believe well
Evil deeds and laziness did not make progress
forgive me
Help me to be a believer as the sheep of Jesus
Help me to be a listener to the voice of Jesus.
Listen to the Way of Righteousness, and immediately repent of your wrongdoing.
Help me to be a person who only does the will of the Father.
