One who has made the world harmonious
Ephesians 4:12~13 To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #502 Heralds of the Light, Be Swift (#259 in previous version) Core Training Message / 2012. 8. 18 Are you able to mutually communicate in the Gospel with the people you are closest to? Pray that you will have oneness by finding the prepared blessing inside Jesus Christ and have forum. When we do not have anything to comfort us or to enjoy, the world feels like a desolate place and life seems insignificant. Satan, who we cannot see with our eyes, deceives mankind with the culture of the world so that we are unable to look upon God. This is Satan’s strategy to divide mankind from God. Children of God must have the mystery of becoming one in the Gospel in order to succeed and not be deceived by Satan. What is “oneness” that the Gospel speaks of?
1. Satan is a being who fundamentally separates
The angel who was in charge of praising God became proud and stood against God. This Satan was expelled to the world and divided mankind from God. Satan is a being that fundamentally separates. He hinders and deceives us not to hear, know, or share Christ in order to separate us from God. Also, he divides people, churches, and the world. For this purpose, he moves worldly customs, politics, and power. We must be completely armored with the Gospel to break the forces of darkness.
2. Christ is a being who fundamentally makes peace
The reason God sent Christ to earth is to make peace between God and us who were completely separated from Him and were in destruction. He raised churches in order to spread this blessing to the entire world and to save the world. Believers sharing the Word in Jesus Christ and having fellowship is what it means to restore the fundamental blessing of God. We must pray with a person of faith and check what it is that we are losing hold of and enjoy the mystery of harmony in Jesus Christ.
3. If you have oneness in the Gospel, you will save the world
Many people put forth their own thoughts and opinions. If you force your opinion, you cannot become one and will experience conflict. It is Satan’s strategy to use this method in order to deceive children of God and the church. If we become one with the Gospel of Christ, we can overcome any problem and succeed in the midst of any persecution. Also, when we have oneness in the Gospel, we will enjoy the answer to save the world.
