Title: The Receptive Person (Romans 4:13-25)
A receptive person (Romans 4:13-25)
We are facing the IMF and all the people are having a hard time, but many people misunderstand and solve the problem. Young people are living in abundance without any lack, but they are unable to cope with these difficulties. The more difficult it is, the harder we should study to overcome the difficulties, but we are not studying and are going the wrong way. Housewives prostitute themselves, work as waitresses, and work as razors at decadent barbershops. College students are robbers, and scams and thieves are on the rise.
Where should we go and how should we solve the problem? Christianity says that life's problems cannot be solved with human strength, but with God's help. When God is with us, we can solve the problems of individuals, families, nations, and this nation with the grace that God bestows on us.
We cannot solve problems on land. You need help from above. When all of our minds, morals, politics, and economy all accept God's grace, a solution will be opened. You cannot solve problems by following culture, following knowledge, or following people. Only God can solve our problems. The nation that accepted this became a global nation. Rome accepted and became a global nation in 313 AD, and Britain and the United States were able to do great things by accepting God's abundant grace. It is not human civilization that enriches man. A developed civilization always declines, comes to an end, and perishes. When we accept God's civilization, a spiritual civilization that comes from above, we can live and we can all live.
Christianity is an accepting religion. In other religions, everyone solves on their own. I solve my problems. However, in Christianity, when we accept the Son of God who came to this earth for me, not through our own strength, and when we accept God's salvation and God's grace, the problem will be solved and we can live and this nation can live. John 1:12 says, "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." When you accept Jesus, you become a child of God. John 3:13-15 says, "No one has ascended into heaven except the Son of Man who came down from heaven. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, and whoever believes in him will be saved." . When we accept, there is salvation, when we accept, there is healing, and when we accept, there is resolution of problems. By accepting Naaman was healed of leprosy, and by accepting, Peter was able to become a disciple and catch a lot of fish.
Don't be too discouraged when your children have problems. By nature, children get into trouble, rebel against their parents, and do absurd things. Children do not grow up because they are born as angels. Augustine gave birth to an illegitimate child when she was 18, but when she met the Lord at the age of 30, she became one of the greatest figures in Christian history. Newton was a person who had very bad grades in elementary school. Einstein did not speak well until the age of four. Tolstoy was a failed college student. But they turned out to be great people. No one succeeds without committing a single sin. The person who did the wrong thing can actually do a bigger thing. The important thing is to meet the Lord. Anyone can become a great person if they turn from the wrong path and meet the Lord who is the way, the truth, and the life and receive grace.
There is only one secret that Abraham was blessed with. You must leave the homeland of your relatives and your father's house and go to the land I will show you. I will bless you, I will make your name great, I will make you a source of blessing, and I will make all the peoples of the world blessed because of you. Abraham accepted these words. When God said it was given to us, we accepted it as it is. This is what our faith should be. 'If you believe in Jesus, you will receive grace and become a new person.' 'The nation that believes in Jesus will never perish.' You have to open your heart and believe in it. We need to welcome the Lord into our family and want to walk with the Lord on our way. The Lord helps us.
Christianity flows like water to where it is received. I hope that you will have a blessed life that overcomes the rest of your life by entrusting it to the Lord rather than trying to handle all our problems, trials, diseases, and our future.
