Title: Victory Life
Text: Galatians 6:7
There is this story in Arabian anecdotes.
One day, an Arabian caravan came across an epidemic while on the road. When asked, "Yes, you bastard! Plague! Where are you going like that?" The plague replied, "Yes! I'm going."
is the place where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers meet, and today is one of the birthplaces of human culture.
When the Arabian caravan asked, "What are you going to do?" the plague laughed and said, "Yes! I am on my way with an order to kill 5,000 people with my plague." In fact, after that, a great plague turned around and killed people who couldn't.
Then one day, the Arabian caravan encountered another plague in the desert. Subject roared in fury.
"Yes man! Didn't you say you were going to kill only 5,000 people when we met last time? But in reality, 50,000 people died, so why did you tell such a huge lie?"
There is a famous anecdote that the Plague replied, "Carbon lily! Stop your wrath! I must have killed only 5,000 people. But the remaining 45,000 died in shock and anxiety, discouragement and despair, and then in the wild."
That's right! Disappointment and despair are such terrible things. So, isn't there a philosopher who said that is a disease unto death?
Saints! Last week, we shared the message that we should never be discouraged or discouraged, even if countless adversity and hardships come every moment in our lives.
We suggested that we look to God who values . Furthermore, we shared the grace by saying that we should do everything in our lives and live courageously with it in our lives.
Today, continuing from last week, I would like to share the grace that is given to us by thinking about what we must do to overcome and live by focusing on verse 9 of today's text.
1. (Verse 9) We were told to do good.
In the words 'we do good', we are not referring to Iran, but to work for the church or society.
We often limit ourselves to the work of the church, which is wrong. God is the ruler of the whole world. Therefore does it reveal '? Or do you hide his glory?' It is important.
character! So how do you reveal the ?
To practice God's love and justice, to resurrect dying souls... Of course, this is all true. But in a nutshell, I think that pleasing God is revealing the glory of God.
Saints! Reveal and please Him! I am sure you will live with it.
2. (verse 9) We can live a victorious life without becoming discouraged.
*Example; It is said that the devil uses to defeat the believers.
The first method is to fall forward. It is a tactic that makes us arrogant and makes us stumble over everything and eventually fall down while supporting us by saying, “You are good, you are good! Yes, you are the best, you are the best!”
The second method is to fall backwards. Using a tactic that makes you feel discouraged and frustrated by saying, "Hey! What's wrong with you? Stop it, stop it!"
Everyone! Therefore, those of us who believe in God should never become discouraged or discouraged, no matter what happens. It means that there must be no falling into the devil's way.
Saints! We know the French sculptor well. He was born into a poor salaried family. As a result of my hard work, I was given an exam at the art school, but I failed three times.
Because this idea of sculpture or art was different from those of the teachers at that school. Silver and Sculpture insisted that one's own spirit be contained in the work.
Although he failed three times, he was never discouraged, and was determined to persevere on his own to subdue the art school teachers.
Finally, at the age of 36, he completed the work, which made him a world-famous sculptor.
Everyone! So let us never be discouraged or discouraged.
character! Then why do we do it? Above all, it is because of this lack. This lack of 'God is with me and will surely help me' makes us discouraged.
Further, one more reason we do this is because I'm trying to lose. But we don't have to be responsible. Because we are all, we just have to do our best as God tells us to.
However, people mistakenly think that they are the owner and do it when things go wrong.
But everyone! The owner is God. Even if you are the boss or the owner, I hope you never forget the fact that God is the owner and you are!
*Example; It is said that a world-famous doctor for his research on this was experimented with blocking the middle of a large fish tank with glass, putting goldfish in one side and catfish in the other side. Then, when the catfish rushed to catch and eat the goldfish, it bumped into a glass wall and came back in pain.
After doing this several times, I pulled out the glass partition. However, the catfish ran towards the goldfish, but came halfway through and turned around and did not eat it.
The goldfish, even when the opportunity came up, would give up in desperation.
That's right! Even people, after failing several times, say, "I can't do it! I'm a loser!" Therefore, even if we fail seven times, we can live a life where we must be able to get up eight times.
Saints! Don't forget that it's not over, it's not done, and that doesn't mean that God has forsaken us!
So, don't say that you haven't accomplished it right now, and I hope you can believe that this is for the greater good.
3. (Verse 9) He said that we can win only when we are not tired.
Everyone! Do you know why we are tired? I am tired because I am trying to do everything by myself.
All we have to do is do our best, and God takes care of the rest, but we are tired because we try to do everything by ourselves, thinking that we are the masters.
Furthermore, it is a big reason why we are tired. This spiritual being is a very scary existence for modern people. It is said that these days, even young children are seriously ill and go to the hospital.
But the best way to get rid of it is to exercise and climb, but even better, you can receive grace.
When you sing a hymn, sing a little louder, when you pray, work hard, smile a little when dealing with the saints and shake hands, then everything for a week comes to church and everything is resolved.
However, surprisingly, I often see many people who go to church and go to church instead. There are people who do not go out of their way to resolve the grievances against the church, conflicts and discord among members of the church, but rather go home with accusations.
Saints! Let's not do that! Should the life of faith be joyful and enjoyable, or should it be tiring? Please try to live a life of faith with a simple, child-like faith!
Then I am sure that you will enjoy a joyful and joyful life of faith and a life of victory.
4. 'When the time has come,' that is, you must know how to wait for the time to live a victorious life.
Waiting for the truth is not so easy.
*Example; We know the old story of He was a man in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty in China. Every day, I went fishing in Wisu, and there was no fishing bait, and I just dipped a fishing line and sat there. If you were doing this on a fictional day, would your wife be ripped off? Eventually his wife left.
But eventually he came and met King Eun Wen, who became Prime Minister. One time, while riding a palanquin, a woman was standing in the road blocking the road and crying. If you look closely, you can see that she was an ex-wife. When I asked him why he was crying, he begged to let us live together again.
Then he told them to bring up a bowl of this water and to pour it on the ground. Then they tell you to pick it up again. Then his ex-wife asked, "No, how can you put back the spilled water?" At this time, Kang Tae-gong said, "Just as you can't put back the spilled water, the relationship you've already left cannot be restored." do.
That's right! It is a story that teaches a great lesson through the man who knew how to wait and his wife, who did not know how to wait and only looked at the reality.
Everyone! Look at the farmers! After sowing seeds in spring, how much do you suffer from the scorching sun in midsummer? Worrying about drought when it's dry, worry about flooding when it's flooded, how hard and painful are you? But don't you wait patiently until the autumn harvest?
But we are so impatient and anxious. That's what it is.
Saints! We too must wait for God's and God's . It means that we have to wait for God's will. At that time, I am sure that I will be able to live a victorious and successful life.
5. (Verse 9) Finally, it is ultimately what we must do.
Our God gives us sunlight and rain so that we can bear abundant fruit, but the labor we reap is ours. We want God to take care of everything, but that's not the case.
is said to have prayed like this. "Oh, Lord! You give us everything in return for our hard work." That's right! The famous masterpieces of 'The Last Supper, Mona Lisa... etc. that still remain are not just easily completed works, but are the fruits of .
So is God! God opens the door, but it is what we have to do. We want to be victorious and successful without sweat, but remember that it is a dangerous idea and never a principle of God.
Now let's close the word! Saints! Do you want to overcome and live your life?
** Do good! to please God. May you live in the glory of God! ** If I can't decide what to do and what I'm not going to do, I will receive a .
** Do not be discouraged no matter what happens, and wait for God's patience with patience! ** Completely abandoning the delusion of reaping fruit without sweating.
At that time, I am sure that all the saints who have come to this place will surely live a life enjoying abundantly.
