Title: Let's live our lives worthy
Text: 2 Corinthians 5: 1-10
Hymns:
It is said that we humans live four times in our lifetime.
When a person is born, he lives once and then dies. You may ask, why do we live four times? But if you look at the Bible, it is correct to live four times.
The first life is life in the womb, that is, life in the womb of the mother.
You will live in the mother's womb until God grants you one life and comes out.
Like people living on this earth, they do not eat through their mouths, but they live by being supplied with nutrients through the womb.
All life on this earth is controlled by God.
Therefore, human abortion is the death of life, and therefore it is the same as murder.
In Luke 1:44, it says that when she was pregnant with John the Baptist, she jumped and played with joy in her womb, that is, in her mother's womb.
Also, in 1:15, it says that she was filled with the Holy Spirit from her mother's womb.
In this way, we can see that life in the womb is the same as life on earth.
In other words, they do not have the citizenship of the earthly kingdom as they do on earth, but they have the citizenship of the kingdom of heaven.
The second life is life on earth as a human being.
If you are born in this world after 10 months, you will live as a human with a body, mind, and soul, and have the nationality of a land on earth.
In other words, you have Korean citizenship.
No one knows how long we will live on earth and when we will die.
only God knows
In Psalm 90:10, Moses said our years were seventy and eighty if we were strong, but now we have changed it to 100 if we are strong.
It's been a long time since 100 year insurance came out.
But only God knows whether we will live to be 80 or 100.
Now the body eats what is produced on earth, the mind learns knowledge, and the soul feeds on the word of God.
Third is life in the grave.
You must live as long as God has given you and then leave this land on the day God calls you.
As Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, the body returns to the hometown of the body, the dust, and the mind never departs, and the soul returns to the hometown of God's kingdom.
That is why it is said that when a person dies, he returns.
In this way, they enjoy rest in the tomb, and on the day the Lord returns, they dig through the tomb and receive Jesus as a body of resurrection.
Finally, the resurrection life.
While enjoying rest in the grave, they are resurrected with the sound of a trumpet on the day the Lord comes. As in John 5:29, those who have lived good will be resurrected by the resurrection of life and those who have done evil deeds will be resurrected through the resurrection of judgment.
Those who received the Lord in the air and did good things go to heaven, and those who did evil things go to hell.
What is good work?
If I lived without being insulted by others, would it be possible to say that I lived a good life?
I may say that I live a good life because I do not do bad things to others and do no harm, I just live a good and normal life, but that is not the good life God wants.
What kind of life is a good life?
A good life is to know God, believe in God, and live by putting God's Word into practice.
A person who prays, praises God's glory, and lives only by glorifying God is a good life.
It is a good life for our students to study hard at the school they attend, share the word with their friends, and try to live according to the word.
A life that praises the glory of God is a good life.
Our lives can be compared to silkworms.
It is said that silkworms live four times.
After the egg turns into a silkworm, eats mulberry, and sleeps, it turns into a pupae, which turns into a pupae, and then a well-made cocoon is chosen and differentiated as a seed.
However, the cocoon not chosen as a seed is thrown into the hot water and dies.
This is the primary death, people eating the dead pupae is the second death, and the maggots eating the human waste is the third death.
Even if they are born with the same silkworm, some will have eternal life and some will die by eating the maggots.
We humans, too, if our body eats the food of this earth and our soul eats the word of God, then those who build houses of indestructible gold and jade will gain eternal life (1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
If you don't, you won't have eternal life.
Let's look at Matthew 7:21-27.
Who are those who say, Lord, Lord?
Who are those who practice lawlessness?
It refers to a person who does not follow the word of God and lives a weak and indolent life without dreams and hope.
It refers to a person who claims to believe in God, but is not an example to those who do not believe in God.
Our middle and high school students know and believe there is no such person.
I believe that they are middle and high school students who always have a warm impression with the word of God in their hearts, always pray and always love and praise God's glory.
Concluding the speech by encouraging participants to participate in the praise contest.
