1 John 4:1~6
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
God loves man. The reason God loved man is that man whom He created was doomed to perish (Jn 3:16). Sin came from the devil and death came through sin. Man should suffer pain forever not burning or dying in hell (Rev 20:10). God set His will to solve man's problems. That is Jesus Christ (Jn 6:38,40, Jn 19:28~30).
Those who have the work of the Lord who fulfilled His will through Jesus Christ as theirs, have received the love of God. They are those who have listened to the voice of the Lord (Jn 12:49~50). They have the only Son of God as their life. God sent his only Son, Jesus Christ to the world was for Him to die in flesh.
The wages of sin is death. It will lead man to hell. Jesus Christ came in flesh on purpose to die shedding His blood on the cross to pay the wages of sin instead of man (Jn 1:14, Mark 10:45). Therefore whoever denies that Jesus Christ came in flesh has no salvation. They will face only death. Jesus Christ came in flesh and died. It is the only way for man who is under sin to be saved and redeemed. Man will be happy forever in heaven right after he dies (Jn 6:53~57, Rev 21:2~4).
We believe in Jesus for that. We evangelize to share the grace of what Jesus did in flesh. As long as the devil is in the world, We cannot avoid the enemy who makes us commit sin and destroys both our body and soul.
The devil and sin cannot be separated. Sin, curses, disease and hell cannot be separated.
All sufferings are from the devil's work or sin. All the sufferings we have are sin and the devil's work is revealed. There is no one who can know it and there is no civilization or study that can overcome the devil's work. It can be solved only by the flesh of the Holy Son of God. It can be solved only by the blood of Jesus.
Man developed culture. It's the right given to man by the Lord (Gen 1:27~28). Adam left God. The devil rules over man and makes man live by the desires of the sinful nature. In the end the devil takes man to hell where there are sufferings, curses and death both body and soul (Lk 4:5~6, Gen 3:17~19).
Only Jesus Christ came in flesh in this world to solve problems that man is sufferring by his flesh (Isa 53:5~6).
Dear brothers and sisters, Do not just remember that Jesus Christ came in flesh and His will but have it as yours.
You surely have it as yours. Jesus Christ came to the earth in flesh to save you and me.
