Title The Way of Man Matthew 4:4
The content person is made of two parts. One is the visible part and the other is the invisible part. The visible part is called 'body' in the Bible, and the invisible part is called 'soul' or 'man of the heart'.
The body was made of dust by God. So the body that comes out of the dirt returns to the dirt. The soul returns to God because it comes from God. Also, the body can only live by eating the food that comes out of the soil, but the soul can only live by eating the word of God. In this way, the visible plants save the body, and the invisible word of God saves the invisible person of the heart.
Then what is the way people live? First, people do not live by eating bread alone. We must live by the word of God. Mochi that saves the body is absorbed into the body through the human mouth and digestive system. But the word of God is taken with the heart. It is the belief of the heart that is drunk in the soul. Faith is the way to take the word of the living God. Just as the physical person needs to eat well to become a healthy person, the inner person also needs to eat God's Word to be healthy. A person with a healthy heart will overflow with peace, joy, and gratitude.
Second, the way people live is to serve God. We must absolutely obey God's Word and be loyal to his church. I also need to be able to say that I just did what I was supposed to do without asking for recognition or reward. Serving the Lord with the attitude of a servant like this is the true form of service that God is pleased with. Jesus also completely obeyed God's word by killing his own will that was contrary to God's word and dying on the cross. This is what true service looks like.
Third, the way people live is to love the church. When Jesus asked his disciples who do you say I am, Simon Peter confesses, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). Hearing this confession, Jesus acknowledged Peter's confession in front of all the disciples, saying, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven." And he said, “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” It means that I will build my church with the blood of the cross to atone for your sins. So Paul said that the church was purchased by God with His own blood (Acts 20:28) and that the church is the body of Christ (Colossians 1:24).
To love the church, the body of Christ, is to love and serve God. Christians must love the body of the Lord, the Church. That is the way to live.
