We must open the way of life (John 3:16)
1. There are several precious encounters in life.
(1) Among the blessings, the greatest blessing is to meet your parents well when you are born. Today, you have come to a precious place where you can meet God.
(2) We believe that working hard is living well, and living hard is the key to success. That's why I'm struggling and working hard to live my life. There are things more important than enthusiasm. It is a relationship that is established through encounters. It seems that we will choose the best conditions, but in reality we can see that the decisive blessing must be determined in grace.
2. The most valuable encounter among encounters is the meeting of grace with God.
(1) A religious encounter with God is also called a providential encounter. The result is ‘more valuable because you have eternal life.’
(2) People can meet God through faith. That is why, among all things, guarding your heart is the most important (Proverbs 4:23). Life can be defined as a battle to guard the heart. If I allow God to rule my heart, my heart becomes heaven. The question is, where is the life that can protect our hearts? We are in Christ (1 John 5:11-12).
3. Why do we have to meet God? Because of “life”.
(1) Only God can give eternal life to humans.
(2) What are the necessary elements for perfect life and eternal life? It is faith in Jesus. God loves mankind who suffer in a sinful world, and sent Jesus Christ to this earth as a way to save them. As the Son of God, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, death, and opened the way for salvation from our sins. That is the way of faith (John 3:16). Eternal life is given by Jesus Christ.
4. Therefore, happiness and unhappiness depend on ‘encounter’ and ‘choice’ in our life.
(1) We must meet God today. For “It is of no use to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul” (Matthew 16:26). You must choose God today. God gives life. (2) God is the One who opens the way for you to live.
5. Why does God give you life and save you? Because He loves us. (1) People become happy when they receive love.
(2) You must choose faith now. Faith is the best thing. If you live without faith, you will fail.
God has called you to bless you so that you can enjoy love. You were born to be loved. I want to believe that God loves me so much that He paid the penalty for my sins through Jesus Christ. Then your life will receive eternal life and live abundantly.
