Title Words and Words
Contents
Many people like the words of men and hate the words of God. Therefore, where there is the word of man, many people gather, and where there is the word of God, they do not want to gather. This is because there are beautiful things in words that people can adore, but there are no beautiful things in words that people can adore. “He grows up in the presence of the Lord like a tender shoot, like a stem out of dry ground, without a fine appearance or appearance; There is nothing beautiful to be admired” (Isaiah 53:2).
Therefore, other gospels mixed with human words are attractive to people and many people gather and follow them, but the true gospel without human words is not attractive to people and many people throw it away.
In Paul’s gospel, “You know that I first preached the gospel to you because of the weakness of the flesh” (Galatians 4:13). was the target.
But, “Therefore, have I become an enemy because I have spoken the truth to you?” (Galatians 4:16) As evidenced, only “true words” that is, words that are not mixed with human words are recorded, which is written, “All the people in Asia forsaken me. You know that among them are Phukelo and Hermogenes” (2 Timothy 1:15).
Weakness of the flesh, that is, the seeds of the gospel mixed with human words, will not bear fruit in the end. Eventually, they can't take off their bodies, so they can't eat milk or eat hard plants, and they become deformed babies. Therefore, the Bible says about this, “Since the time is long, you should be teachers, but again, from whom should you be taught what are the basics of the word of God? You have become deprived of milk or solid food. For everyone who drinks milk is a child. Aini are those who have not experienced the word of righteousness, and solid food belongs to those who have grown up. They use their senses, so they are trained to know good and evil” (Hebrews 5:12-14).
Therefore, Paul, who abandoned the childish affairs, had to labor again to give birth to words that were not mixed with human words, that is, the words. Again, you will sow the seed of the true gospel, that is, the incorruptible seed, not any other gospel. It is written, “My children, I am again toiling in childbirth until Christ is formed in you. Even now I am with you and want to change my voice, because I have doubts about you” (Galatians 4:4). 19-20) is the same as Ham.
The Bible testifies about this, “In which we all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like others” (Ephesians 2:3). Since man is born with the lying nature of the first Adam, people like the gospel mixed with lies. But there are God's people in the world who are “decided to have eternal life.”
Therefore, it is written, “But the firm foundation of God is standing, which 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). You know.
When those who preach other gospels with people's words lie to those who cannot be saved, that is, to those who are not united in the image of Christ's death, saying, "You are sure to be saved", the children of disobedience who are not united with Christ will be deceived by that lie. Sit down, eat, get up and run. This is because they like other gospels that have only the death of Jesus and no death of their own.
The gospel without self-death with Christ is another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit. Therefore, since there is only the death of Jesus and there is no self-death, there is only the resurrection of Jesus and no self-resurrection. Therefore, it will be said, “Then I will say to them plainly, I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness” (Matthew 7:23).
Therefore, Christ is the word of God, not the word of man. It is not the words taught by human wisdom, but the manifestation and power of the Holy Spirit, the faith that leads to the salvation of souls by hearing and believing the true gospel. Therefore, “How can they preach unless they have been sent? As it is written, Beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news” (Romans 10:15). through” (Romans 10:17). As such, the gospel is not a lie mixed with the words of men, but only “the words of Christ,” the truth.
But as the prophecy says, “The time is coming when people will not receive sound doctrine, but having itching ears they will accumulate many teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from the truth and listen to myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). See what's happening right now.
Therefore, as he prophesied, “Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the harvesters, Gather the weeds first, and bind them in bundles to be burned, and gather the grain and put it into my barn” (Matthew 13:30). The weeds that have grown with other gospels mixed with words are harvested first.
Therefore, the kingdom of God is not in words, but in power, that is, in the word. Those who follow other gospels mixed with human words can never be cleansed. This is because man's words satisfy man's desires, but cannot make him perfect as a man of God.
As it is written, “The word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). It is also the same as saying, “This is to make the man of God perfect for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17).
Therefore, the only thing a man can love is the one husband, Christ, the Word. It is written, “Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, not with leaven that is wicked and wicked, but with unleavened bread of purity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:8). Amen, Amen. Thank you Lord.
