Title Matthew 13:36-42, Title: God's Standard
Contents
Introduction
After leaving God, people became sinners who did not know God. And those sinners decided on their own 'good' and 'bad' and came to judge right and wrong. Therefore, since all decisions and judgments made by the sinner's standards were based on the 'criminal standards', even a person who has no moral or ethical problem is still anxious, anxious, and if he does not do something, he will have a major problem. They have no choice but to live in the tension that they will become. In other words, the fundamental must be changed, but the sinner does not know it.
1. Good Seed
Through the parable of the four fields, we have already thought about which fields the farmer will sow. The 'sinner's standard' of planting seeds and expecting fruit without knowing whether it is a bad field, and the 'God's standard' of making a bad field into a good field and producing 30, 60, 100 times of fruit, are completely different. . Therefore, God, who sowed the ‘good seed’ into the world through God’s work, is bound to bring about a result completely different from what the sinner imagined.
2. At the time of harvest
God is well aware that sinners are bound to suffer the consequences of sin by living by the standards of sin. Therefore, God, who came to save sinners, did not leave sinners to suffer the consequences of their sins, but made sinners God's children (good seeds) so that in the last days the principle and value of 'sin' that tormented those who became children of God. He promises to cast all standards into the furnace of fire.
3. God's Standard
God's standard is that sinners can live righteously. Therefore, through God's work, we became 'good seeds' and became those who were called children of God and enjoyed the 'heaven'.
conclusion
God's standards, methods, and principles are different from those of sinners, and they are too easy. Therefore, the sinner raises the question of whether it is possible to have this while looking at a standard that is completely different from their own standards. Even though he became a child of God because it seems unlikely, he keeps trying to return to the standards and values of sin he had before.
Now, by God's standards, we have become 'good seeds' and good fields. Even if it seems that nothing has changed in our lives, we are still declared children of God. Therefore, I hope that you will now know God's heart and live according to God's standards, and become believers who expect what God will do through us.
