Title: Let's Be Clean
Contents
2 Timothy 2:20-26
20. In a large house, there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden vessels and earthen vessels, some of which are of noble use and others of lowly use.
21. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will become a vessel for honor, holy, fit for the master's use, and prepared for every good work.
humor
The little boy lied and the mother was in great shock. After thinking about it, he called his son and explained what would happen if he told a lie.
"If you tell a lie, a red-eyed man with horns will come and catch you at night. Then they will lock you up in a burning valley and do the hard work. Are you going to lie?"
Then the son answered.
"Ah~
My mother is a better liar than me."
Some pottery sells for 10,000 won, but some pottery can cost several hundred thousand won to several million won at the pottery festival site.
Very nice, well-known and expensive things don't even show up at pottery festivals.
God uses the four types of people in the Bible as a parable
Explain by analogy.
There are people who are compared to gold vessels.
I've never seen a goldfish.
I've seen plates with gold rims, but how expensive would a bowl of gold be? One plate will probably cost tens of thousands of dollars.
It refers to a person who truly possesses great wealth, fame, or power.
I can say the best people in our country.
Bowls and spoons made of silver can sometimes be seen around.
You can still see it often in high-end restaurants and hotels.
You may even see them selling silver spoons.
A person who is compared to a tree of silver can refer to a person who is known in the region as a rich person or a person with honor and power.
Wood grout is a slightly more expensive bowl than Jilg Grot.
It seems like it can't be made out of any wood.
It seems that it will be a classy middle class insect rather than the common people.
It's like someone with more than 20 billion won.
A clay bowl is a bowl made of clay.
It refers to a bowl that is very cheap from 1,000 won per one.
I can say very common people.
Where do you belong?
Are you a gold bowl?
If not, silver bowls, wooden bowls----
Have you ever been disappointed because it was only about the size of an earthen bowl?
To see us live in the world
People and families like gold bowls or silver bowls look good
People like wooden bowls and earthen bowls seem to have a difficult life.
What kind of people will God use?
Because he is the son of Abraham, will he use it great?
Would you bless me because I was born the son of David?
He says that God's standards for people aren't like that.
It's my pitiful look.
When I was young, I could have done great things if I had been born into a good family. I am truly a person of potential, but there have been many times when I have been disappointed with the things that I could not do because of the lack of support.
If I had pushed you to study literature,
If only he had pushed me to start a business after graduating from high school.
I must have been something--- I'm so embarrassed.
After leaving my hometown and pastoring for 15 years, I came back.
What is surprising is that, in my opinion, the villagers who were clearly like gold bowls, silver bowls and wooden bowls in the past are not living like gold bowls and silver bowls.
Obviously, they had a family and skills, so they would live well if they had to do it to a certain extent, but they didn't. It was amazing.
In today's Bible, the Lord says that God does not use people who can be compared to those expensive gold or silver vessels.
If you go to a Daiso store, you can buy a plate for 1,000 won.
It is that God does not say that a person who is not worth a price is worthless.
However, it is clear that there are people who use the vessel that God uses preciously, and there are people who use the dish lowly.
The tree that God uses dearly is not a person who has an expensive material or price. The people God uses are clean people.
a clean person
If you turn away from useless words and evil and train yourself in the Word of God to become worthy of God's use in words and deeds, then God is a God who uses the person preciously, regardless of their good or bad qualities.
Dear brothers and sisters, let's be prepared for God's good works and become people of value. No matter how good opportunities come, God cannot use those who are not prepared for God to use them.
God will send many people to our Hansarang Church and cause spiritual revival to occur. But you must be prepared for this.
You must repent in the Word of God and be trained in your words and deeds.
He is a God who uses the prepared clean vessel preciously.
No matter how expensive it is in the world, people like gold bowls do not use it. It means that even earthenware must be prepared.
In God's work, the quality of the tree is not the problem, but is it a clean person?
Whether one has turned away from evil or has been trained in godliness depends on God
Let's always keep in mind the saying that it is the standard of the person who writes it.
Because the possibility of living by mistaken for the world
Because there are many.
in the field of our life
Let's do our best to believe according to God's word.
Let's do our best to live according to God's word.
This is the best way to make our lives successful.
It is God's way of leading us, our homes, and our workplaces to success.
It is the best that Hansarang Church can be happy.
