Title: The Way of Life and Peace
Contents
Many people think that living well is in the value of ownership. However, living well means the value of existence, not the value of possession. There is one word we misspelled. It means "living well". If your words are not correct, your thoughts will not be correct. Also, if your thoughts are not clear, your life will not be complete. The phrase "I live well" has become a modifier often given to wealthy people. To a rich person, you should use the word rich. But 'I live well' is used like that. It's a misused word. It is a misnomer to say that you have a lot of money and live well. There are many people who live well even though they are poor. What we need to remember is to live well by living like a human being. However, the world has become more complicated because if you have a lot of money you can live well, but if you don't have money, you can't live. Money cannot be the standard of value. The text clearly explains the people who are prosperous and those who are not. They are divided into people of the flesh and people of the spirit.
First, the fleshly person is a person who values possessions.
Those who believe in Jesus place the meaning of life on the value of existence. Guys, are those who believe in Jesus rich? Are the unbelievers rich? Believers? Is the believer healthy? Are unbelievers healthy? are you a believer? no. There is no such word in the Bible. Guys, can I tell you the answer? 'It depends on the person.' - This is not a joke. Think about it. There are many rich people, both believers in Jesus and non-believers. There are many poor people. Health issues are the same. It's up to the person.
God gives sunlight and rain to believers and unbelievers. There is no material division between believers and non-believers. Because material is not the criterion of value. Material is also precious. But before matter, life is more precious. "A man's life does not consist in the abundance of what he has" (Luke 12:15), "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). The things of the flesh think only of the flesh. The carnal mind is death. It will perish, and there will be no inheritance (Romans 8:3-8).
Second, the person of the spirit places meaning on life and peace, that is, the value of existence.
Therefore, believing in Jesus and becoming rich, believing in Jesus and becoming healthy is a secondary problem, not a primary problem. Among the gospels, the gospel is that God loves me and you. But what kind of power does love have? If you love, the one who is loved will be honored. God loves everyone. God created man in His image. You made it more precious than the world. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? What will a man give in exchange for his life?” (Matthew 16:26). Man was created so that he could not be satisfied with the whole world. To be happy means to be content. Those who live according to the will of the Lord are those who live well.
A person with a lot of unnecessary money. unnecessarily healthy person. uselessly smart person. - Too many around us. Is this person happy? Is this person at peace? No. I am a person who cannot live. I'm a pitiful person. Spend money, use wisdom! Use your knowledge too! Use your health too! Use your time and opportunities too! Spend it on something worthwhile (good). Such a person is a good person, such a person is a happy person. This person is a spirit person. This man is a man of God. This man is rich. This person lives well. He is comfortable only with himself, he only eats himself well, his children do well, and this person is not a man of God. He is a natural person. The mind of the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6; Phil 2:9-11; 2 Corinthians 6:8-10)
