John 14:1~6

 

God, the Creator, and humans, His creation, have started a relationship as the One who loves and the beloved from the beginning. God gave a man everything He had and made him to use them as he wants and to live happily. However, a man left God’s love and lived in the world with no one to love and keep him but was under authority of the devil. He faced the hopeless reality of undeniable hardships, sufferings, diseases and death of both body and soul under curses by sin and demons. God warned him, “for when you eat of it, you will surely die,” as He really didn’t want him to be perished eternally by eating the fruit. It was the love of God. Although he heard God’s voice, he was deceived by the devil.

 

Without knowing the enemy, the devil who steals, kills and destroys, he was deceived by the sweet temptation of the devil saying, “When you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil (John 8:44). After he ate the fruit, man belonged to sin and the devil and became cursed both body and soul as it is written in the word (John 10:10; 1 John 3:8-11).

 

However, God didn’t neglect our destruction, and sent Jesus Christ to the world who became our way, truth and life (John 14:6). Whoever believing in Jesus Christ will be freed from sin, curse and disease. These people will enjoy freedom in both body and soul (Romans 8:1-2; John 8:32). The love given us from God through His Son Jesus is the best inheritance for us who want to be happy by being delivered from sin, curses, disease and suffering (Isaiah 53:5-6).

 

Methods of this world such as our wisdom, knowledge, fame or power, or even close family cannot stop or solve the last day coming to you. However, the grace of the life given by God through Jesus Christ is the love of God. This love is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent eternally and it is always with us. The love of God never dissipates, never makes any mistakes and never leaves you (John 14:16~18). Although this great love of God, the grace of Jesus Christ, exists, many people don’t know about it so they wander. It is because the devil’s work is still killing us and making us to be liar and tempting us by gathering every way and method in the world (Revelation 12:7~9).

 

People following the mind of sinful man are going the way to death and people following the mind controlled by the Spirit are going the way to life and peace (Romans 8:6~8). Some choose to follow the Spirit and some choose to follow the sinful nature (Matthew 7:13-14). Some choose the way for life and some choose the way for death. Everyone should go to hell or heaven by their own choice. So, we should overcome enemy, the devil’s work which destroyed us from the beginning. Let’s live by Jesus who is giving the life to the full.
