Isaiah 53:5~6

God Almighty always was, is and will be and work in the future. He created everything in this universe including man, and He was pleased to be glorified by His creation. When man sinned against Him by the devil and were doomed to perish because of the wages of sin, God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, into this world as man's Savior (1 John 3:8, Hebrews 2:14~15).

“He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.” (1 John 3:8). God protects us from the working of the devil by the name of Jesus and prayer. He also meets those who look for Him and solves their all impossibilities and problems through Jesus Christ. He shows Jesus Christ to the ones who rely on Him and He becomes their help. God is spirit so He can't be seen, touched or heard. But He has personality and shows Himself through the Word of God. Therefore, God shows Himself by answering those who pray to Him, by the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit. He comforts, redeems, and gives life and the experience of the Holy Spirit to those who suffer.

God transcends modern science and He works in us. All man-made theories and studies are useless and they are a hindrance to reach the grace of Jesus who is the only way to save man’s souls (Philippians 3:8~9, James 3:13-16). Therefore, God is the absolute truth who demolishes arguments and every pretension that man sets up against the knowledge of Him, and He takes captive every thought of man for man to obey Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4~6).

Only the one who knows who God is, and has a relationship with Him, can deny himself and live by God's power. If you know that God gave you Jesus Christ to help you, you can trust Him to solve your suffering in this lifetime for the time of soul. As much as you know God, you can know yourself. As much as you know yourself, you can repent from your sins (pride, arrogance, self-indulgence, disregard, ignorance and disobedience) with tears before God. And you can have faith to live by Jesus.

Even though Jesus' disciples had followed Jesus for three years and had seen many miraculous signs, they still denied Him and went back to their lives. But after Jesus rose again from the dead and showed Himself to them over eleven times, they realized that He is their Savior. After that, they prayed earnestly in Mark's upper room and were filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they went out and performed the same miraculous signs that Jesus had done. They worked, evangelized and died for God with Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. Likewise, it's the faith life to know God. If you know Him well, you can transcend your theory, knowledge and life and receive the answer to your prayers by having faith and working for God like Jesus Christ.

There are many people who don't know Jesus well. They think that Jesus was just one of the saints in this world and that sincerity is the way to heaven. They deny Jesus' signs and power because of their theories and knowledge, so that they don't try to possess Him as their inheritance. As the result, they will go to hell and suffer eternally. How fortunate we are because we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior by the Holy Spirit! Only Jesus Christ is my Savior, life, glory and heaven (Isaiah 53:5~6).
