Title: Son conceived by faith / Hebrews 11:11,12
A piece of paper on which the poet Longfellow engraved his deep thoughts later became worth more than 10 million won, and if a famous painter puts paint on a 100-won paper and engraves a picture, it becomes a masterpiece with a value of over tens of thousands of won, and a small piece of paper. An engraved pattern and signed by the bank president can create a check worth over a billion dollars.
Even though life is such a trivial one, evangelism is the great work of salvation to become a soul with amazing value when held in the Lord's hands.
Today is Taeshin Sacrament Day. It is meaningful to remember a person's name and make him an evangelist. This is never in vain.
It is the most precious and great thing in the world that can expand the kingdom of God through the salvation of one person by embracing the soul of one person for the purpose of salvation, creating an opportunity to evangelize, and forming a relationship.
The person in the text is Sarah, Abraham's wife.
His name means princess. Abraham's wife whose real name was Sarai (Genesis 17:15).
She was born with Abraham in Ur of the Chaldeans, became the wife of his half-brother Abraham, and settled in the land of Canaan via Haran.
She was a beautiful woman, and she was deceived by Pharaoh and Abimelech, king of Egypt, and almost sinned.
Sarah gave birth to a son, Isaac, at the age of 90, showing that human productive capacity is always possible in faith.
As a single wife, she was 127 years old, and although she had moved through 4 countries eight times, she was a virtuous woman who obeyed her husband Abraham, calling him lord. This is a woman who showed the beauty of her married life as an example of her mother-in-law.
When the angels of God said that they would have children, Sarah had the opportunity to smile while watching from behind the door. The woman who knows how to laugh started laughing after giving birth to a son a year later, and lived the rest of her life with a smile for the rest of her life.
Sarah made a mistake. I couldn't believe God's promise and couldn't wait, so I gave my maidservant as my husband's concubine, and even showed jealousy.
Her husband, Abraham, confessed that his wife, who was over 100 years old, was beautiful.
God gave great grace to Sarah, who was a wonderful wife, a virtuous woman, and a beautiful woman, but had a kinder and more beautiful heart.
He loved her simple and gave her a son. Sarah could not see his son's children until she died, nor could she have a daughter-in-law, but God made a number of nations through that one son. This is an example of evangelism, and it is an example of God's power.
It is the power of God that the son born to Sarah, who was born childbearing but believed that the one who promised was faithful, became as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the beach.
1. Evangelism begins with obedience.
Today, this is a place to listen and obey the Lord's words given to us by the Great Commission.
The Bible is full of evangelism commands.
(Mat 28:19,20) Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. said there will be
(Mark 16:15,16) He also said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe will be condemned."
Evangelism is obeying the word of the Lord. Therefore, evangelism begins with obedience. Do you know how great the blessing of obedience is?
(Gen 26:5) For Abraham obeyed my word, and kept my commandments, my commandments, my statutes, and my ordinances.
(Deuteronomy 1:36) But Caleb the son of Jephunneh obeyed the Lord completely, and he will see it, and the land he has tread I will give to him and to his descendants.
(Deuteronomy 28:2-6) If you obey the word of the LORD your God, all these blessings will come upon you and come upon you/ Blessings will be given in the city and blessings in the fields/ The offspring of your body, and the produce of your land, and your Blessed will be the young of the beast and the young of your sheep, Blessed shall be your basket and the bowl of bread dough, Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
(Isa 1:19,20) If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat of the good produce of the earth; and if ye refuse and betray, ye shall be devoured by the sword, saith the LORD.
(1 Peter 1:22) Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth, and have come to love your brothers without deceit
Evangelism is obedience to the word of the Lord. I hope that the great grace given to those who obey will be with all of you who are pregnant with a new born child to evangelize.
2. From now on, in order to evangelize, there must be an effort to form relationships and create opportunities.
There are many opportunities in the Bible.
In Mark 14:11, Judas found an opportunity to sell Jesus.
(Mark 14:11) When they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money, so Judas looked for an opportunity to hand him over.
Romans 7:8 says that sin seeks opportunities to deceive and kill.
(Romans 7:8) But sin took opportunity, and produced in me every kind of covetousness through the commandment, for, without the law, sin is dead.
(Romans 7:11) Sin took an opportunity to deceive me through the commandment, and with it killed me.
Galatians 6:10 tells us to look for opportunities to do good.
(Galatians 6:10) Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to the household of faith.
What opportunities are you looking for? Paul found an opportunity to evangelize.
It is said that the best prenatal education makes a genius. I hope that the person you are evangelizing will be born as the best Christian in the world by creating opportunities to evangelize diligently and working hard to form good relationships.
3. Now it is the 119th Movement.
The 119 Movement is ?쏿 movement in which one person makes more than one person 9 won??
The Taeshin Self-Evangelism Movement does not end with one invitation like the All-Mobilization Invitation Week. Now, we need to sublimate the Taeshin-jae evangelism movement into the 119 evangelism movement to develop an evangelism movement that loves the soul and does not give up on the souls that each member of the whole school wants more than one person.
The soul is our inner self and inner man.
Animals breathe and move, but they have no soul. But when God created man, he gave him a soul.
(Genesis 2:7) And the LORD God formed man from the dust, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
The outer human body ages and declines day by day. But the soul is renewed day by day.
What would you live for? You invest too much in your body, which will deteriorate over time, but what are you investing in your soul?
It should be a life that loves the soul.
With the 119th Movement, I hope that one person can save more than one soul.
(Heb 11:11,12) By faith Sarah herself also grew old and gave birth, but she was given the strength to conceive, knowing that the One who promised was faithful. It has grown as many as the countless sands of
Just as Sarah gave birth to a son, and through him, people like the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea came to be, I hope that the salvation of one person's soul will greatly expand the kingdom of God.
Dear saints, I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will become troopers who expand the kingdom of God by participating in the evangelism movement of the Taeshinja through the 119th Movement.
