Title: The Most Blessed Life of the Saints
Bible: Philippians 1:18-24
Starting Point of the Word>>
This time, I would like to share a message with the title of “The life of the most blessed saints.
If there is regret in our life, it is living a one-time and one-off life.
If our life is about three times, even if we fail once or twice, we can live a wonderful, meaningful, worthwhile, rewarding, true and happy life by correcting the third one.
Also, life is a one-time thing, but I only live 70 years and 80 years.
I don't know how many days I live with anxiety and sadness, getting hurt, fighting and fighting than on happy, happy, and joyful days.
So, there are some people who feel the emptiness and loneliness of life and think that it would be better for a person to die after living like this.
However, if you look at today's text, you can learn who a truly happy life is and how to live the happiest life.
Among the contents of the letter, Paul sets a clear goal and lives his life.
We humans are dream creatures.
So the ancient Greeks defined human beings as Andropos, which looked up or had hope.
When a man has a dream, he has the power to jump over the hill of hardship, but as Kierkegaard said, when despair settles in his heart, from then on he will die.
At this time today, I pray in the name of the Lord that we can all realize the purpose and meaning of life that God has for ourselves and live as the most blessed saints, just like Paul with a clear purpose.

So, how can life be the most rewarding, meaningful, valuable and happy life?
First, we must live with ‘self-identity’ in order to live the most blessed life.
'Self-identity' is a question of 'Who am I?'
The Bible says this about life:
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
That is, we have not reached the glorious world because of our sins.
It is said that the cause is sin.
It is said in Psalm 107:10 and below that man fell into darkness and was bound in death and distress because of his sin against the will of God.
However, God is rich in mercy and sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to this earth to save people who have fallen into sin and are suffering.
Jehovah bore our iniquities on him.
Sin was man-made, but Jesus paid the price for our sins, so we have been saved through that grace. This salvation is a gift from God.
Those who have accepted Jesus as the Lord of salvation are new creations in Christ Jesus.
At the same time, our bodies are no longer ours, they belong to God, and our bodies have become the temple of the Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Justification of the sinner itself changes the destiny.
That in itself is a blessing.
At the same time, Almighty God has become our Father.
God, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, is the source of all blessings and the owner of life, and from the moment that God becomes our Father, He is in charge of our lives.
In order to live the life of the most blessed saint, we need to know our 'self-identity', that is, our roots, and I hope you believe that we have become children of God.
Even if the world sees us as trivial, God sees us as honorable.
Therefore, if we ask for anything in faith, God does not turn away and has given us the privilege of hearing.
When we believe in this and believe in our own identity, our blessed life begins.
Second, Paul said that the happiest life is to live without being ashamed of anything.
Anything mentioned here is the happiest life, whether it is to serve God, to serve people, to have a relationship with God, to have a relationship with people, to have money, or to have a relationship with the opposite sex.
The world's earnest expectations and hopes are worldly. It is to satisfy the desires of the flesh.
So, earning a lot of money is an earnest expectation and wish, and you get a higher position, fame and status, and if possible, try to seize power once, gain a lot of knowledge, and live with certain expectations, but go to a person who has it all and do everything. Are you happy with it? When asked, the answer is 'No.'
There was one man who lived the most luxuriously in human history, King Solomon.
But he said in Ecclesiastes 1:18,
“In abundance of wisdom there are many troubles; and he that adds to knowledge adds to sorrow.”
I did.
Everything in this world is like salt water, the more you drink it, the more thirsty you get but no satisfaction.
True satisfaction is freedom in the Lord when our sins are forgiven in Christ Jesus and the Spirit of God reigns and reigns over us.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
I hope this grace will be given to me and all of our members today.
But when a person commits this sin, two dark shadows completely cover us.
One is the shadow of shame and the other is the shadow of anxiety.
So the word conscience means knowing together, but God knows and I know.
The conscience is within me, but it is not on my side, but a messenger sent by God.
So when a person does a good deed, his heart is happy and excited for nothing, but when he commits a sin, his heart is uneasy for nothing.
So, to live without shame in anything means that I live without shame in front of my faith and conscience.
Faith conscience, conscience is governed by the knowledge of truth.
Therefore, if you do not have the knowledge of the truth, you cannot have a conscience of faith.
To live according to our faith and conscience means to live according to the understanding of the Word of God. Therefore, a believer can only attain freedom of conscience when he fulfills at least five obligations.
① It is holy water for the week.
This means that our souls are satisfied through the act of meeting God by worshiping and worshiping through the promised time of worship with God.
② It is to give a full tithe.
This is thanks to the grace that pours out so that there is no place to accumulate blessings through the promises with God.
③ It is a service to serve others.
Like Jesus, our service begins with service.
④ It is to preach the gospel.
Evangelism is not something that can or cannot be done.
⑤ Whatever we do, we live for the glory of God.
That is our Christian duty.
Even if we live, we must live for the Lord and if we die, we must die for the Lord.
We must be saints who keep the word and keep the promises to the Lord even when it is difficult and difficult.
Not only that, we, as saints, should not be ashamed even in our social life.
When you return to your home, you have ethics in your home.
Husbands owe their wives, and wives owe their husbands, and so are each other.
Parents have to do to their children, and children to their parents.
The same is true at work.
All social ethics must be observed.
In a society where humans live together, there is always a hierarchical order.
Hierarchy is a set of rules and rules that must be followed in order to keep human relationships in the right state.
Therefore, we, who are saints of faith, wherever we go, by firmly maintaining our position with an attitude of service,
You have to live with no shame in anything.
It is not a matter of who in the world knows or does not recognize.
Our Lord needs to know.
That is why we can simply serve and live without a name and without light.
There are many difficult things in life, but the most important thing is that the power to overcome the world comes down from heaven.
The strength to overcome the world comes from the Lord, and if we change our mindset to the attitude of Jesus, we can win.
Third, in order for us to live the happiest life, we must live a life that benefits others.
If we look at verse 24,
“It will be more profitable for you that I am in the flesh”
I did.
In other words, if I have a reason to live on this earth, I live for you.
Among people, there is a life of stepping stones, and there is a life of stumbling blocks.
It is a stumbling block, there is nothing that only that person can enter, and it is negative.
But some people have peacemakers.
He is a stepping stone.
When that person enters, it is always positive, positive, and self-sacrifice to make it work.
Jesus is the stepping stone.
How can we be saved except through the cross?
How can one acknowledge Jesus as Lord without the Holy Spirit whom he has sent?
Now, we must become people who benefit all people through this stepping stone Jesus.
Finally, we can live the happiest life when we live with the hope of heaven.
If we look at verse 23,
“It is far better for me to leave this world and be with Christ.”
I say.
It is better to go to heaven than to live in this world.
We must remember that we have the kingdom of God, Heaven.
Heaven is reserved for those who have been born again and for those who keep the Word. Conversely, Hell is reserved for the unregenerate and unbelievers, the idolatrous heretics, and the wicked.
It is appointed once to die, and after that comes judgment.
As far as life is concerned, it belongs to God. Our lives are not ours.
Life belongs to God.
Therefore, we must remember that we are strangers.
After the brief traveler life is over, there is an eternal paradise.
Because there is that heaven, we live according to the Word today, praise the Lord, and live by keeping holiness.
At the end of the speech>>
Organize your words.
Now we have come to realize what the happiest life is.
This consciousness that I have become a new creation in Christ Jesus and become a child of God must rule over us, and within me, my religious conscience, social conscience, and all our human relationships live a life without shame. is.
Also, like a grain of wheat that decays for the benefit of others, like a burning candle, sacrificing one's body to give light and sacrificing oneself to illuminate the darkness is the image of a saint who lives the happiest life.
At this time, I pray in the name of the Lord that all of our members will become workers of faith who live the happiest life by embracing the heart of Jesus like this.
