who will shine forever
(2007.04.29. Week) (Dan 12:2~3)
There are people who live a short life, but live in darkness and die unhappily, and there are people who live bright and die happily.
A person who lives only by committing sins, a person who lives only by accumulating criminal records, is an unfortunate person who lives in darkness.
On the other hand, there are people who live in a bright light, leaving a beautiful name even though their life is short.
Anyone who is loyal to their country and will be buried in a national cemetery is someone who leaves a bright name.
Some people brighten up their family, some people brighten their school, some people brighten their neighborhood, and some people brighten their country. - Such a person's name will be remembered for a long time.
We wish all the members of Kyungil Church to become bright people - whose beautiful names are remembered for a long time.
*Today, we are showing you the path to becoming a shining person - much more beautiful than a shining name in this world.
*Not only for the rest of our lives - I long for all of us to shine forever and ever.
1. The eternal world awaits.
Our physical life is not very long.
Turtles live for hundreds of years, and ginkgo trees also live for thousands of years.
Life is short. But for the supreme creature, the death of the body is not the end of the man.
(12:2) - “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will wake up” - This is a message that tells us that there is a resurrection of life after the death of the body. - It is expressed as a lot of people, but in reality, not many people, but all people will be resurrected.
(John 5:28) - “Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice” - There is a resurrection in which all will be raised again.
I definitely believe in the resurrection. I believe that all of you will be resurrected. I believe that even those who did not come out of church today will be resurrected. Even those who do not believe in God believe that all people will be resurrected - all people will be resurrected after the death of the body, without exception.
And I also believe that once resurrected, you will never die again and will live forever.
2. After the resurrection, there are two completely different worlds.
All believers and unbelievers alike will be resurrected, but the world after the resurrection is not the same.
Even parents and children can be separated into another world. Husbands and wives can be separated into another world. Even older brothers and sisters can be separated into different worlds. Even older sisters and younger brothers can separate them into another world.
Even people in the same neighborhood split up, and even friends who studied in the same classroom split up.
(Text verse 2) - “There will be some who will receive eternal life, and there will be people who will be put to shame and ever put to shame.” - Some people will enjoy eternal life and others will be divided into a world of eternal torment.
(John 5:29) - “Those who have done good will come out to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.”
Those who have done evil will go to hell in this world where there is eternal torment. - Unbelievers are evil people
Those who have done good deeds will go to heaven in the world where there is eternal happiness. - Those who believe are good people.
*In the net, good and bad fish are caught together - but when you open the net, you pick out good and bad fish.
* At harvest time, the wheat is collected in a barn and the bamboo shoots are burned. - We will live forever in heaven.
3. We are the ones who will shine forever in heaven.
Everyone said that after the body dies, they will be resurrected again.
But after the resurrection, everyone will be judged. - As a result of that judgment, some people will go to hell where there is eternal punishment, and some people will go to heaven where there is eternal happiness.
Hell is a world of eternal darkness, but Heaven is a bright world, a clear world, a glorious world, and a happy world.
A person who has gone to heaven is said to be a person who shines like the sun and shines like a star.
How did people who shine like the sun and stars live while they had a body?
How should we live in this world to become people who shine like the sun and stars?
(12:3)-“The wise will shine like the light of the firmament, and the one who turns many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.”
1) A wise person is a person who will shine in heaven.
I pray that among all the saints worshiping at our Kyungil Church today, without exception, all will become wise people.
This wisdom is not the wisdom of knowing history well. It is not wisdom that knows philosophy well. It is not the wisdom of knowing science well. It is not the wisdom of knowing mathematics well. - It is not the wisdom that can be obtained through worldly studies.
Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Literature, Doctor of Law, any doctor in the world - if you do not know God, Heaven and Hell, and do not know God's law, you cannot be called a wise person.
If you only know what you see and don't know what you don't see, you are not wise.
A person who only knows the body and does not know the soul is never wise.
If you don't believe because you can't see heaven - you can't see the air, you can't see the wind, you can't see the sound - you're as foolish as someone who says there is no air, no wind, no sound.
If you say you don't because you haven't seen God - You're as foolish as someone who says they didn't have a grandfather because they didn't see their grandfather 100 years ago.
What is true wisdom?
It is true wisdom to know that God exists. It is true wisdom to know that Jesus exists. It is true wisdom to know that there is a heaven and a hell.
It is true wisdom to know that if you believe in God you will go to heaven and if you do not believe in God you will go to hell.
A wise person is a person who believes in God, believes in Heaven, and believes in the Word of God. - Such a person goes to heaven. - I pray that you believe that such a person will shine like the light of the firmament - in heaven.
I pray that you will become truly wise people - live by faith - and become the shining people of heaven in heaven.
2) Those who lead others to the right path are the ones who will shine in heaven.
If you become a truly wise person and believe that there is a God and that there is a heaven - you will have no choice but to introduce the beautiful world of happiness.
Because I left that good heaven and didn't know it - my parents are going to hell, my brother is going to hell, my child is going to hell, my friend is going to hell, and a loved one is going to hell - but still Can you be casual? - If so, you are a person of little faith.
Everyone - "He who has turned many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever."
This work is to evangelize unbelievers. It is to teach those who are weak in faith. It is to hold onto someone who is trying to give up their faith. It is to rescue those who have forsaken God's law and fall into sin.
Dear saints, we are already believers in God. - Never stray from this belief. And furthermore, we need to evangelize unbelievers and guide and lead those with weak faith.
I pray that you will become a person of faith and live a happy life, thinking that you will shine in heaven like the light of the firmament.
I pray again and again that you will evangelize more diligently and become the saints who shine forever like the stars in heaven.
“I believe in shining like the light of the firmament” “I will evangelize and lead to shine like the stars forever” Amen
