Title: Luke 15:32 Church denomination
Contents Luke 15:32
Children who do not know the will and feelings of their parents are called immature children and immature children who do not know their parents. A child who does not care at all about the bitter heart of his parents and acts only for his own interests and greed is a childish child.
Today, not only does Heavenly Father's heart and will, but also the state of this age and what time it is, is not what the religious world looks like. Of course, quite a few churches understand God's will and go out of their way to evangelize and save society. However, the problem is that there are still many immature members, churches and denominations who act according to their own interests and greed.
The church is not a simple human gathering or organization, but the house of God, the house of the Father. God, the owner of the church, regards all human beings as children. He created human beings and provided them with life to live. However, when Adam, the first child, left God, all mankind afterward became children who left God's bosom. However, God did not give up on his love for mankind. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for mankind because if we live apart from God we will surely perish. Through him he prepared the way of salvation. How good is God the Father.
God currently has two kinds of children. I have an eldest son who believes in Jesus and lives in the church. They are children who have returned to God's bosom by the work of the Holy Spirit. Those who enjoy God's grace and live by faith are God's firstborn children. On the other hand, there are children who leave God's arms and his house and live as non-believers. He does not consider his father at all and lives according to his own desires. They seem to be prosperous in this world, but their end is only eternal destruction and punishment.
God doesn't care too much about believers who are like the eldest in the house. God's greatest concern is unbelievers, such as children who have left home. He suffers because of unbelievers who turn away from the path of salvation and walk on the path of self-destruction. If you are a parent of a runaway child, of course, you will be anxiously waiting for your child. How would God feel when he generously gave his only begotten Son to mankind for salvation?
The problem right now is that many Christians, even elders and deacons, live their lives with little concern for non-believers. Church members who do not know the heart of God are just immature. If you use extreme expressions, you are a pathetic child. A church that does not make every effort to bring non-believers back to God is also ignorant. A mature church does not try to grow as members who have migrated from other churches. A healthy church rather seeks out non-believers and takes them to the streets and brings them to the temple of God.
Now, every church member, denomination, and general assembly must make a choice. And we have to work together. We must not hurt God's heart any more. We must do our best to evangelize non-believers by understanding God's heart. When we strive to save souls, we can become children of God who are praised for doing well.
I hope that you will become a mature child who deeply understands the heart of God who is waiting for unbelievers, such as children who run away from the church, or runaway children, who are more devoted to evangelism.
