Title (Ⅰ) Receive Jesus (John 1:1~18)
Contents
① The text says that if you accept Jesus who has brought life, you will receive the authority to become a child of God and become a person of light.
“What does it mean to receive Jesus?”
① “Receiving” means receiving Jesus as the King of my body and believing in His name (works). ② To know the existential reality and work of Jesus before Jesus, and to know the existential reality and work after Jesus rightly, and to acknowledge and follow what is acknowledged is to believe and receive the name. ③ In other words, the Word of God, who has been alone since eternity, as God, determined our salvation as His purpose (Jaetaek), predestination, creation, and providence, and the Word became a person and established the merits of forgiveness, justification, and redemption of new life. He is with us in the spirit of truth and inspiration, making known you, your work, and the merits of salvation that you have established through written and inspired revelation, and grants the grace of those merits. To know and acknowledge this kind of Jesus rightly and to be driven by Him who is the inspiration of truth is to believe and to receive Him.
“What do we do to receive Jesus?”
① Our regenerated “spirit” does not receive it. When God dwells in our “spirit” as a temple, He does not come through reception, but one-sidedly and unconditionally and actively with sovereign power. ② Because the “spirit” is “dead in sins and trespasses” (Ephesians 2:1), the dead “spirit” itself has no power to receive God. So, God sovereignly entered into the dead “spirit” and raised the dead spirit to life, which is the “spirit” regeneration. Therefore, the regenerated spirit became a temple, both legally and practically, to co-exist with God and to be established.
“The flesh of those who have been born again receive Jesus.”
① However, the flesh, which is the possessive property of the regenerated spirit, only legally belongs to God, but in reality, the evil spirit that the flesh has had as its master since it ate the fruit remains as its master. ② Therefore, “our “spirit”… the flesh died because of sin, and the spirit was adopted by God, but the flesh has not yet been adopted. ③ The Holy Spirit is trying to save this flesh together with the regenerated spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the first It was said that the ripe fruit, that is, the regenerated spirit group, will also be adopted, that is, waiting for the redemption of the body. ④ Wait for the redemption of the flesh with the hope of being adopted. ⑤ It is said that the Holy Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit to the flesh that the soul has that we are children of God.” (Romans 8:10~23)⑥ That is, the “flesh” your present master, the evil spirit The enemy who killed you is a false self. This is proof that your true master, who you rejected and died as a sentient being, is alive and now accepts you as your master. ⑦ Therefore, to receive it means that the body submits to its master, the spirit. When the soul commands the body to receive God, the body obeys the command of the soul and receives God. The mind and body, that is, the body “opens the door to receive” (Revelation 3:20)
“If you accept them, you will receive the authority to become children of God”
① “Power” is the master of power, ability and ability. Therefore, all power belongs to authority. ②“Power” is the power to occupy, to possess, to secure, to rule, to rule, to rule... That is why they are called ownership, sovereignty, use right, sovereignty... ③ The power of death is the power to kill, the power to life is the power to save, and the power of judgment is the power to judge. ④ Therefore, the word “God has given you the authority to become children of God” means that the power, power, and ability of God are given to those who receive it. ⑤ Every time the flesh of a regenerated person receives Jesus, who repeatedly comes to us as the truth and inspiration in reality, God’s disposition is put on more and more and the sanctification continues to increase, and this is the power, ability, and ability of God being charged. . ⑥ Everything and everything in heaven and on earth is taken away by a powerful being and becomes his property.
“The Way to Receive Jesus”
Just like Mary who conceived and gave birth to Jesus, ① You must deny yourself. “I am a servant of the Lord, and it will be done to me according to your word.” He completely denied and gave his body to the Lord. ② We must break the desires of the flesh and the hopes of the world. ③ We must break the corrupt autonomy and corruption of human beings. Selfishness that seeks peace without suffering, fear of death, and selfishness must be rejected. ④ We must firmly hold onto only the law of truth, transcending national, religious, and natural laws. It is impossible to transcend to not believe because it is a violation of the Sunday because of the entrance exam on the Sunday day or because it is contrary to natural principles and rationality. ⑤ You must use your life, your body, and everything else as the basic capital of accepting Jesus.
