Title: Living with God / Matthew 24:13
Contents
But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Introduction
If there is one supreme hope among human longings, it would be to live without dying. This is the unchanging aspiration of all human beings since the beginning of time, and at the same time, it is also one of the challenges that remain unresolved. However, today's text introduces that there are people who live incorruptible. It is clearly stated that there are those whose souls are not forsaken in Hades, and there are those who receive the blessing of immortality in their bodies. Who the hell are these? What kind of life did you lead to receive these blessings? This is the challenge we must tackle together at this time.
1 Earth: It is possible if we always live with God (verse 8).
Living with God means living a life of walking with God.
God is the God of all living (Luke 20:38). Therefore, it is very natural that we can be recognized as living at least as long as we live a life of walking with God, and that we will not be corrupted or abandoned in the grave. Enoch lived this kind of life (Genesis 5:21-24). Elijah also lived a life like this (2 Kings 2:11). Their faith lived, their spirits lived, their souls lived, and their lives lived, so they were allowed to walk with God.
Those who walk with God always mean those who are of one mind with God.
Jesus promised us the way of resurrection and even showed us the way of change (John 5:24-25, Matthew 11:25, 17:1-2). Nevertheless, our lives are always in turmoil due to our lack of confidence and unbelief in the new world of Jesus. It is the end of not having one heart with God. Please keep in mind that if we are of one mind with God, we can keep our walk with God unmoved (Psalm 55:22).
A person who has a heart like God means a person who lives a life without boundaries.
God wants us to maintain an integral relationship with life (Galatians 2:20). Our lives can be guaranteed only when God and ourselves have fellowship and exchange of faith without borders. On the other hand, we must not forget to have a clear boundary with the world. Just as every home has a fence and borders, we too must have borders with the world. If we have lived without the Lord in our daily lives, we have lived without boundaries.
Earth 2: If there is true joy, it is possible. (verse 9)
The text reveals that joy is the source of eternal life, an incorruptible soul. Only those who live with God can have true joy. The result of joy is to live a life of joy, so the soul is also happy, and a healthy body is guaranteed, so it becomes an incorruptible existence. It is not easy for a person to overflow with joy and pleasure. This is because the devil always breaks through the borders and invades. Please keep in mind that joy can only be maintained by keeping the word and commandments of the Lord and living a life of true faith.
We cannot help but rejoice because we have been guaranteed the way of life (Psalm 16:11).
The joys of the world are fleeting and fleeting. It's useless.
We can be happy to give them the opportunity to repent (Acts 3:19, Romans 8:1, Romans 4:7-8).
We can't help but be happy because God's will remains.
God's will can only remain in a happy heart (John 8:29). We are God's wish (Philippians 2:13). God's will remains in joy and joy. Therefore, if you hold onto the will, you can receive joy and joy as a gift, and as a result, you will receive the incorruptible blessing.
3 Earth: True faith is waiting.
conclusion
Dear saints, let's live an incorruptible life. Corrupt thoughts, the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life all offer us only a lifeless, rotting life. Christ alone gives us the smell of life. You cannot inherit the kingdom of God through blood and flesh. The corrupt cannot inherit the incorruptible (1 Corinthians 15:50). The Bible clearly instructs that only the last trumpet, the word of life, can live in immortality and transform us (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). To do that, you need a motive for making a faith decision. Because God wants each one of us (Psalm 40:6-7). Waiting for the appearance of a person who can confess 'I am here' before God who wants to write, God has been patient for a long time. I ask that all of you become one such person and are allowed to prosper and live incorruptible eternal life in walking with God.
