Title: Saints Who Walk with the Lord
Bible: John 8:29-30
Starting Point of the Word>>
This time we would like to share a message with the title of “The Saints Who Walk with the Lord”
Everyone wants to live a happy life, but it seems that they do not know what the happiest life in this world is like.
Example>>
In the winter of 2002, an American named Jack won the biggest lottery in history.
The amount he received, excluding taxes, was 113 million dollars, or about 130 billion won in our money.
Many people at the time said that he became a turning point in his life, and that he became the happiest person ever.
However, in reality, he wasted all his fortune in just two years due to his uncontrolled life, and he became a bum and went to a rehabilitation center.
Everyone says I'd be wise if I were a hero like him, but even if I did, there's no happiness in it.
The first president of the United States, George Washington, said this as he left the White House.
“It is better to be in the grave than to be president again.”
Jefferson, the third president, also said this as he left the White House.
“The sense of liberation I felt when I was thrown off the chains of power is more than the feeling of liberation when a prisoner comes out of prison.”
Said.
As such, happiness does not lie in material things or power.
According to Ecclesiastes 1:2-3,
“The evangelist said, Vanity, vanity, vanity, vanity, all things are vanity. What good is all the toil of toil under the sun to man?”
Says.
This confession came from the mouth of King Solomon, who enjoyed all the glory of the world.
Like Solomon's confession that there was a king who enjoyed the things of the world to his heart's content, but all things were in vain, we should not be saints who enjoy satisfaction with worldly things, but saints who enjoy true joy by walking with the Lord.

If so, what blessings come if we walk with the Lord?
First, if we walk with the Lord, our life path will not be lonely.
If you look at verse 29 of today's text,
“He who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”
You did.
This verse says that Jesus walked with God, and God was with him so that he would not be lonely.
You are well aware that the most difficult and difficult reason in life is when you are in loneliness or loneliness.
One of the biggest problems among students these days is the problem of bullying, which means ignoring a friend, indifference, and leading to loneliness and loneliness.
As a result, an increasing number of students commit suicide because they cannot overcome the problems of loneliness and loneliness.
A person can overcome loneliness or loneliness in the body when he is with people.
However, being with people does not solve all the problems of loneliness and loneliness.
When the Lord walks with us, we can overcome true loneliness and loneliness.
Augustine said, “I cannot find true rest until I return to God.”
According to Romans 13:13-14,
“Walk modestly, as in the daytime, not in licentiousness or drunkenness, not in sexual immorality or sensuality, not in strife or envy, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not seek the lusts of the flesh.”
I did.
Therefore, we hope that we will become believers who enjoy true peace by walking with the Lord, not by seeking peace through the world's methods.
Second, our walk with the Lord brings true meaning and purpose to life.
According to Philippians 3:7-9,
“Nevertheless, whatever was useful to me, I count not only as loss for Christ’s sake, but also as loss for the sake of Christ, because the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord is the noblest, because for his sake I lose everything and count it as waste, gain Christ to be found within.”
Paul confesses.
His walk with the Lord gave him true meaning and purpose in life.
Johann Maxwell defined the difference between successful and unsuccessful people:
“Successful people have a purpose and vision in life, but unsuccessful people only see the present and see only the present.”
But the more fundamental problem that we do not succeed is that we have not met the Lord more deeply.
When we meet the Lord, we have dreams and visions.
People without dreams and visions ask, “Where are you running now?” When asked,
"I do not know. I am just running.” answer.
Many people give this answer because they have no meaning and purpose in life.
However, walking with the Lord creates meaning and purpose in life.
The Lord opens the eyes of the spirit and grants desires in the heart.
You just have to follow the Bible and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
I hope that you will become believers who discover the true meaning and purpose of life by walking with the Lord today.
Third, believers who walk with the Lord gain the ability to overcome life's problems.
According to Matthew 11:28-30,
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and your hearts will be rested, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
You did.
Our Lord is saying that He will lift all burdens and lighten those who walk with Him under one yoke.
It is something we should do, of course, but it may not work well.
I need to understand but I don't want to understand, I need to forgive but I can't forgive, I should be thankful but I don't get thanks.
And the burden of life is heavy and life is not fun.
In such a case, we must first restore our relationship with the Lord and become saints who walk with the Lord.
If we carry a heavy burden and entrust it to the Lord who walks with us, rather than just saying it is heavy, we can experience the lightness of that burden.
There is a praise called “Is the load heavy?”.
“Is the burden heavy? Aren’t you afraid to go on a rough road to carry it alone?”
When the Lord is with you, there is nothing heavy or fearful.
In the name of the Lord, I ask that all of our members may enjoy freedom from all burdens by walking with the Lord.
Fourth, as we walk with the Lord, we experience changes in our lives.
According to John 8:12,
“Jesus spoke again, saying, I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
You did.
If you walk with Jesus like this, you will become a transformed person.
Example>>
There was an American lady, Catherine Rose, who was called the mother of prisoners.
Rose poured out God's love on prisoners all her life.
However, one day in 1937, she suddenly died in a car accident.
When the news became known to the prison, the prisoners shouted to the prison warden, “Sir! Please allow us to go out of prison to pay tribute and pay tribute to Ms. Catherine Rose. He is our benefactor.” said
Hearing this request, the prison warden hesitated for a long time after hearing such a huge request, but he was well aware of Catherine's moving devotion and, although he was a vicious prisoner, he knew how much they respected Mrs. Catherine Rose, so he agreed.
So the warden allowed 600 prisoners to go out for a while.
This was something absolutely unbelievable.
But then something even more incredible happened.
600 prisoners stood in a line and followed Lady Catherine Rose's carriage procession, which is said to have reached 800 meters in length.
As they passed, they picked wild flowers one by one and mourned the death of Catherine Rose, and that evening all 600 prisoners returned to prison without a single escape.
Because I couldn't put pressure on my esteemed Catherine Rose.
If you walk with the Lord, you will become a person of change.
In the name of the Lord, I ask that all of our ministering members will meet the Lord and have a beautiful influence on the region and residents so that we will not only be changed, but will become precious believers who change all lives.
At the end of the speech>>
As we conclude the Word, I would like to ask the question, What must we do to walk with the Lord?
Walking with the Lord means letting go of yourself and living according to God's will.
Just as Jesus forsook Himself and came down from the heavenly throne to this earth, we too must let go of ourselves and live according to His will.
Jesus walked fully with Heavenly Father.
Now we must become saints who walk with the Lord who bore the cross for us.
Everything in the world is vain and vain, vain and vain, all is vain.
Now, as we walk with the Lord, we no longer have to live in the problems of loneliness and loneliness. May we become all the saints who have a meaning and purpose in life, overcome problems, and live a blessed life walking with the Lord. bless you with
