Unbreakable faith (Matthew 7:24-27)
A transplanted tree suffers severe pain until it takes root.
So, until it adapts well to the new environment and takes root well
Secure it with a tripod so that it does not fall over.
Even believers who come to church for the first time struggle a lot until they take root in their faith in a new environment.
Therefore, believers in faith must serve and support them with the love of the Lord.
The first thing that should act as a tripod of faith is the family who believed first.
Families should pray, be patient, and serve well.
The most important thing is to set an example of faith in your family life.
The second is the existing members of the church.
When new believers attend church, they do not meet God first, but meet the saints.
Therefore, if the existing members are interested, serve with the love of the Lord and take good care of them,
You can safely take root in your faith.
In particular, cell leaders and officers should show an example of kindness and humility in every word and deed.
The third is pastors.
The mission of pastors is to cherish the heart of God, to spread the word of God correctly, and to nurture it.
In particular, the pastor must be an example of the Word to make the saints mature.
For believers, the relationship with the pastor has a profound influence on their faith life.
The tripod is only needed until the tree is deeply rooted.
If new believers have deep roots in their faith, they can keep their faith firmly even without the help of others.
It is a big problem if you continue to seek help from people even after enough time has passed for your faith to take root.
A mature faith is not shaken by any difficulties or adversity.
And it serves as a support for faith so that beginners of faith can take root well.
Jesus said that unbreakable faith is faith built on a rock.
The Rock is Jesus Christ, and it is faith to hear and obey His Word.
A wise man builds his house on rock, but a foolish man builds his house on sand.
Wisdom is building the foundation on a rock in advance in preparation for the flood.
At the end of this earth, after death, there is God's judgment.
Wisdom is a life that puts the root of faith deep in Jesus in preparation for the time of judgment.
Folly is to build a house on sand without thinking.
He goes to church, but lives according to his own thoughts and experiences.
Because they are in a rush to reality, they are not interested in the words of Jesus or the judgment of God.
It is to build and live in a world that will destroy the foundation of faith.
When building a house, you can choose the foundation.
However, the consequences of flooding are not selectable.
It just either collapses or stands
When you are a beginner, you need people's help, but there are limits.
Therefore, we must put our faith in Jesus Christ.
Life is a sojourner in a barren wilderness.
No one can be with me forever and take responsibility for my life.
Only Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is with us forever and becomes a strong rock that will never fall.
