Christian life
Dear saints,
Did you have a good day today? I hope the rest of your time is good.
In this time, through the words of Ephesians 4:25-28, “the Christian life” is
I am trying to hear the word of God through the title.
One day the workers went out to the field and sowed seeds. The seed sprouts and grows and bears fruit.
One day, the workers went out to the fields and were surprised. The reason is that you don't sow
It was because the rice was growing in the wheat field mixed with rice. the confused workers
Fearing the master's scolding, he quickly returned home and reported this to his master.
“Lord, weeds are growing together in the field where we sowed only wheat seeds.
What would you like to do? Shall we go and pluck the weeds right away?" But the master answered.
"Leave it alone, I'm afraid I'll hurt even the wheat while plucking the weeds. Both of you wait until the harvest.
Let us leave the wheat, and let us throw the tares into the fire.”
In this parable, we find the coexistence of good and evil and their conclusion. again
If you do, there are good things and bad things on this earth. and they are

Faith is not visible. But the results of faith are visible and
It is something that can be touched and heard with the ear. The text is Christ in faith.
It reveals what people's lives should be like.
1. The Christian life must put away lies and speak the truth.
In verse 25 we read, “Therefore, putting away falsehood, let each one speak the truth with his neighbor.
do it, for we are members of one another.” One of the characteristics of the old man was
It is false (Colossians 3:9). Falsehood refers to all kinds of denial, deceit, or trickery. half
The hallmark of the Christian as the new man in this respect is speaking the truth.

It means lying. After pretending to be serious about something, I say "Fuck"
Saying that would mean it was a lie. Splashing corn or rice on the street
The conventional machine for grinding was called puff pastry. and fried bigger than it really is
The sweets they made were called puff pastry.
Some sociologists have called our society a booming society. Lies are rampant and
Everything is exaggerated and overpacked as if it were fried popsicles. so who
No matter what you say, you won't believe it.

There is no mercy and no knowledge of God.” Perhaps that time was similar to ours.

The value will vary depending on the The fourth is clarity, that is, purity. blemish
No matter how large the carat is, it is not worth the price, and if there is no flaw, it is expensive.
The same goes for humans and the society in which they live. No matter how hard you build a tower of golden civilization
Even if the trumpet of Jin is blown, the society loses its honesty and purity, and lies are inexhaustible.
In many ways, it becomes a rotten society. No matter how much I study, I have a good personality
Even if you are high-ranking and popular, a person who can lie well cannot be a leader.
When such people become politicians, politics becomes a hotbed of conspiracy techniques.
Because if a person becomes an entrepreneur, he will take the lead in fraudulent activities.
The reason Christians should forsake lies and speak the truth is that we are members of one another.
because it is Christians believe in Christ as members of the body of Christ, the church.
We can achieve harmony by being true to each other with the center as the center. because the truth
Instead of mutual trust, distrust created by lies divides and destroys the organism.
because it grows.
Christians are created in truth, righteousness, and holiness. Therefore, the truth
The opposite is to get rid of falsehood. This is a decisive action, through faith and
It is one of the vices that the members of the church, the body of Christ, must forsake forever.
Also, lies are characteristic of the devil and deny that Jesus is the Christ. But
God does not lie, and he hates lies, so the believers
We must put away the lies and speak the truth. That is, let go of lies and speak the truth in love.
This is the true Christian life.
A lie comes because his character, his faith, and his life are false.
I can't speak. Revelation 22:15 says, "Those who lie will go to hell
I'm going." He said. We must stay away from lies. We must live only by telling the truth.
You must tell the truth even if you are in trouble, and not lie even if you are at a disadvantage.
2. The Christian life should not lead to crime through anger.
In verses 26-27, we read, “Be angry and do not sin, and do not let the sun go down on your anger.
Do not allow the devil to take advantage of you.” This verse is used when anger is frequent and
It means that the devil takes a break when we hold our anger until it burns.
Here, “Be angry, but do not sin” is paradoxical by quoting Psalm 4:4 (LXX).
command. Because in this verse it seems that wrath is allowed, but in verse 27, Satan
This is because the command not to be missed and the injunction against all are in verse 31.
Therefore, this verse can be interpreted in the same sense as the exhortation to “be slow to anger” (Matthew 5:22).
I did. There was also a man who gave Jesus righteous wrath (Mark 3:5, John 2:13-17). nevertheless
Despite this, the reason why it was banned is because there is a possibility that it may be changed in the wrong direction
All.
Meanwhile, "until the sun goes down" is a time limit for handling minutes. i.e. through the time limit
It suggests that we can avoid falling into sin by not cherishing wrath until midnight.
All. Joo Kyung-ga Bengel explains the reason for not harboring anger until the sun goes down, “The night is when anger grows.
Because it wins."
Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, lived with the following ten mottos:
It was.
① Don't be lazy and live within your income range. ② Make fewer promises and tell the truth.
③ Make good friends, but let's make friends until the end. ④ Don't say bad things about others. ⑤ have a good luck
Let's not even play a game. ⑥ Avoid drinks that cloud your mind. ⑦
Let's keep a secret, whether it's mine or someone else's. ⑧ Don't borrow money until the last minute.⑨ Line
Let's take responsibility for our actions and do not blame others.⑩ Before going to sleep, let's take time for reflection.
In President Garfield's ten mottos, as long as we try to live in control
You can discover the human will.
Being irritable or irritable is a sign that you are out of control.
that is evidence. Giving anger is not just about the molecular itself, it's about the body.
The problem is that it is a tripartite collaboration of function, mental function, and soul function.
In other words, if you try to get angry, you will end up in a decisive loss in body, mind, and soul.

Seeking heat. To be angry is to give the devil a chance.
A Christian should not sin, even if he is rightfully angered at the right time.
Holding on to anger is a sin, and it gives the devil a chance

Even Christians need righteous anger. However, personal to neighbors

Therefore, Christians must quickly turn around here. Hatred, misunderstanding, malice,
It encourages feelings of retaliation, so the longer you cherish it, the more it harms your life of faith.
3. The Christian life is to do good, not to steal again.
In verse 28 we read, “He who steals steals no more, but turns and gives to the needy.
Work with your own hands, doing good, so that there may be alms.”
There are two lessons to be learned here.
(1) Don't steal again.
This is a reference to the 7th of the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20:15, Deut. 5:19). this is so
This is the most basic ethics that Christians must follow (Mark 10:19). Do it here for "stealing"
The Greek word to be attacked, 'hoclepton', does not refer to a professional thief, but to all kinds of
Is it a petty thief that cannot be condemned by human judgment by pointing to unfair clothing?
includes The new person who is in Christ must cut off these things.
Even if you have stolen in the past, you must not repeat it again after you repent.
will be Anyone can have a past. Our Lord has repented of the past
I don't take issue with it. However, the unrepentant past is also a problem in terms of punishment. That
And what's even more problematic is repeating the sin again after repenting. that is
It's like an animal that vomits up and swallows it again.
(2) To do good works by toiling with my own hands.
Paul did not stop at admonishing not to steal, but rather actively engaged in labor.
He exhorts them to help others in need. This verse is the essential wealth of the Christian life.
It represents the Christian work ethic (Luke 6:29-36). The purpose of that labor is to accumulate wealth.
but in the good work of helping our neighbors in need (Galatians 6:1).
If I alone become a fire, a lamp, and a salt, the problem will be solved. In Matthew 5:16, the Lord said, "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Dear saints,
The veracity of our beliefs is revealed in our daily and moment-by-moment lives. And based on the final result, the person's faith will be evaluated. Therefore, my listeners, I bless you in the name of Jesus that you should put away lies, speak the truth, and do not lead to transgression with your anger, but in the name of Jesus, that you may labor with your own hands and do good works to show the glory of God
