Title: When I See the Son of God
Contents
Christ is the Son of God, begotten by God. In other words, “I send the Spirit,” the LORD said to me, “You are my son, and today I have begotten you” (Psalm 2:7). It is the same as the evidence of God who said, "I do..." (Mark 1:11).
God sent His Son into the world in a human body so that He might give birth to those who love God and to be like His Son, children whom He will love and be pleased with. It is the same as the words of the evidence, which is written, “They were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:13).
According to this will, God has given Christ, the love of God, to all people under the world. This is the same testimony as the Lord Jesus said, “But I know that the love of God is not in you” (John 5:42). However, according to the testimony of the testimony, “We love, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19), those who love God are those who know the love that He first loved us and obey and obey the gospel.
To man, the whole world looks like one kind of person, but in God, there are three kinds of people. This is like the three sons of Noah, and the division of mankind into three tribes.
This is not the division of man into three tribes, but the profound providence of God in which God divides people into three groups. Therefore, these three have the same surface, but different sides. It is the same evidence as the Lord said, "The earth bears its own fruit, first the sprout, then the gleaning, and then the grain faithful to the gleaning" (Mark 4:28).
Since the shoots and ears and the faithful grain have one surface but different two sides, the shoots and ears are burned on the threshing floor and only the faithful grain enters the barn.
Therefore, the prophet Zechariah, whom God had informed of this beforehand, said, “Two-thirds will be cut off from all this earth, saith the LORD, and a third will be left there; My name will be called, and I will hear; I will say, This is my people, and they will say, The LORD is my God” (Zechariah 13:8-9).
Therefore, those who love God will come out into the world with the love of God in them. For this reason, he testified, “In the writings of the prophets, they will all be taught by God. For as it is written, everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me” (John 6:45), He also testified, “My people, come out of them. Do not share in his sins, and receive no part of his plagues” (Revelation 18:4). However, not even his people, whom God knew beforehand, but only God knows this. That is why the Bible testifies, “For those whom God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers” (Romans 8:29).
He who loves God also loves Jesus Christ whom he has sent. And those who love him keep his word. As it is written, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15), and also, “He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will also I will love him and reveal me to him” (John 14:21), and also, “He who does not love me does not keep my words; the words you hear are not mine, but the words of the Father who sent me.” (John 14:24) It is the same as the words of the testimony.
Therefore, He testified, “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). What does the word accomplishing good mean other than the saying that we become children of the good God?
For this reason, he testified to those who have accomplished good, saying, "Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of the Son into our hearts, that he should call him Abba, Father" (Galatians 4:6). Here, “our heart” is not the proud and arrogant heart of a person born of the flesh, but a gentle and humble heart born of God.
Therefore, the Lord Jesus Himself testified, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in spirit, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29). heart” (Philippians 2:5).
A person who says he loves God but does not have love in himself is a liar. It is written, “He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no hindrance in him; but he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes” (1 John 2: 10-11) He also testified, “We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. He who does not love his brother whom he sees does not see God. We cannot love God. We have received this commandment from the Lord, and he who loves God must also love his brother” (1 John 4:19-21).
Therefore, those who have the love of God in them are those who have seen the Son of God, and those who have seen the Son of God are sealed by the Holy Spirit. "...God's solid foundation stands, and it is sealed, saying, The Lord knows his people, and let everyone who calls on the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness." (2 Timothy 2:19) Amen, thank the Lord.
