If I Started with the Holy Spirit

If you start with the Holy Spirit
Galatians 3:1-3 “You foolish Galatians, when Jesus Christ is clearly seen before your eyes that he was crucified, who
Did he deceive you? 2. I tell you this only from you, did you receive the Holy Spirit by works of the law, or did you hear and believe?
By the way, 3. Are you so foolish that you began with the Spirit and now finish with the flesh?' - Amen.
In Galatians, when Paul was staying in Ephesus during his third missionary journey, the Galatians had to keep the Law of Moses to be saved.
Hearing the news that they are taught to gain, they sent in a harsh tone the truth of salvation, which is not salvation by works, but salvation by faith.
is. Focusing on verse 3 of the main text, I would like to share the sermon under the title of <If it begins with the Holy Spirit>.
1. The foundation of Christian faith is the cross
The Christian gospel first began with the Jewish conversion in Jerusalem. Rest in the process of converting from the Jewish faith to Christianity
Work observance, circumcision, and food chastity have been a subject of considerable controversy. Especially, when Gentiles believed in Jesus, Jews
There were many difficulties in spreading the gospel completely because of the false claim that one should be circumcised according to tradition.
According to Acts 15:5-11,
Acts 15:5 "Some of the Pharisees who believed rose up and said, 'They commanded the Gentiles to circumcise themselves and keep the law of Moses.
He said this is right.”
Korean Christians still have many problems in establishing Christianity on the religious sentiments based on Confucianism and Buddhist ideology.
All. The church is always experiencing secularization due to the change of value and ideology according to the trend of the times.
The spread of the Gospel of Successism is a terrible ideological tribulation that follows the downfall of the European and Western churches.
He said it was foolishness to miss the idea of the gospel of Christ on the cross.
Galatians 3:1 “You foolish people of Galatians, it is clearly before your eyes that Jesus Christ was crucified.
who deceived you'
In the Bible, the word foolish is used in contrast to the word wise. Scientific knowledge sometimes makes us foolish.
It makes you know Eunji. Even if people think that they are great, they are stupid in the face of God's wisdom.
2. Faith is the wisdom of the Holy Spirit
Accepting the Christian thought is not possible through intellectual understanding, but only through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is guided by the Holy Spirit
It is an inspirational book. That is why it is called the book of life. In order to see and enter the kingdom of God, you must be regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
From the beginning, it is taught and determined that the basis of all Christian life is possible in the Holy Spirit.
John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
'No.'
This book, Galatians 5:18 'If you are led by the Holy Spirit, you will not be under the law'
Galatians 3:2 “I tell you this only from you, did you receive the Holy Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing and believing?
nah'
Receiving the Holy Spirit is given to those who receive Jesus by faith and repent, but receiving the Holy Spirit is not in works.
He said it was possible with faith.
3. Win spiritually in spiritual and physical conflicts
Even a person who has experienced the work of the Holy Spirit who came to believe in the atonement through the blood of the cross will be changed if the ideas of the world are challenged realistically.
There are many possibilities. Therefore, a normal believer must be able to experience conflict between the spiritual and the human at any time.
Each person has weaknesses, so there are times when we cannot live according to the truth we know clearly and live in unbelief.
ideology arises, breaking the tradition of the church or being deceived by theology and church culture, leading to a departure from the essence of faith.
Galatians 3:3, 'Are you so foolish? Did you begin with the Spirit and now finish with the flesh?' is a famous lesson.
All.
Today, people throw away their heavenly garments in order to assert and testify of their own righteousness, and use the worldly methods to show the world’s certification.
will mobilize.
If this is the case, it's a story about going out of business, as someone used to say? It was when the Jews became corrupt and hypocrites.
Pilate, an unbeliever, said many times that he would find no sin when he saw Jesus. Jews believe in Jesus
I couldn't help my piercing conscience, so I wanted to kill him, but the funny thing is, their religious conscience issues are brought to the courts of the world.
I was asked to solve it.
John 18:31 "Pilate said, "Take him and judge him according to your law." The Jews said, "We do not
I have no authority.”
They sued Jesus for religious matters. It was a matter of faith, such as claiming to be the son of God, or being equal, or to forgive sins
If you do, you have to solve it in faith, but full of anger and hatred, they trusted the worldly court to kill the Messiah.
The same is true today. Our faith is not given by the world, not in works, but only by hearing the word of the Lord and believing.
It is the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that you gain. As you live, there will be damage, tribulation, and persecution without any connection. However, in terms of processing
Even if you try to think too much, you see that you have taken actions that show your will for your own righteousness.
The current Korean church is not the spirit of the cross of the Lord chosen by the forefathers of faith, but the injustice of relying on worldly power for self-righteousness.
Events are happening here and there.
This shameful work that began with the Holy Spirit and is about to end with the flesh is vaguely timed as to when it will end.
We were not saved by the benefits of the world from the start.
I pray that you will be able to win by expressing the life of a beautiful saint who exerts power.
