We are not only learning the Word of God through our Mission School, but we are also learning to serve the gospel by uniting ourselves together with one accord within the order Christ Jesus has established in His Church. We learn how to pray and also trained to have strong faith and to obey the order of God’s world in this Mission School; and we can also fill the weak areas of our heart with the Word of God’s Truth. Through such training courses we can stand firmly by faith and attain the ability to fight the enemy after being born again as the true servants of God.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Hebrews 1:2 says that God “has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds.” What has God the Father spoken to us by His Son? God says here that He made the worlds through His Son. The plural noun “worlds” here does not just refer to this visible world. God is saying here that He made every realm through His Son, including even the invisible world. This means that God the Father made not only the visible world through His Son, but also the next world to come, the Kingdom of Heaven. God the Father made it clear here that He made both the visible and the invisible worlds through His Son. The Son of God created “all these worlds.” This is indeed true. God the Father sent His Son and He has spoken to us in these last days. We need to first think about just how great the power of Jesus Christ is. And then we need to ponder on how insignificant our existence is compared to Jesus.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

As this passage admonishes us, it’s very important for us to guard and defend our faith carefully, lest we lose the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit. All of us who believe in this genuine gospel must watch out constantly not to mix ourselves with worldly Christians and end up being contaminated by them. That’s because worldly Christians do not believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit even though it is strictly based on the Word of God, and if we mingle with such people, we may end up renouncing our faith in this gospel, which is what determines whether we are blessed or cursed by God.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Our God said in Hebrews chapter 3, “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus.” If you were drowning helplessly, and someone came along and saved you just in time, you would obviously be extremely grateful to that person for saving your life. Likewise, you would not forget those who helped you in your times of struggles but always remember them and be grateful to them. In a similar vein, all of us ought to ruminate on Jesus, who is our Apostle and our High Priest. As you and I know very well that the Lord has saved us from the destruction that we were facing for our sins, we cannot help but ruminate on the grace of this Lord. When we think about the grace of our Lord, we can see just how faithfully our Lord has fulfilled His work of salvation in complete obedience to the will of God the Father. As we consider how the Lord has saved us from all our sins, we are once again reminded just how grateful we all are.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

God sent Jesus Christ on a mission to make sinners like us into His children. Hebrews 2:14 says, “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.” “He, Himself” here refers to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. God the Father clothed Him in human flesh and blood like us when He sent His one and only Son to this earth in order to deliver us from the sins of the world. Even the Savior and Creator has partaken of flesh and blood like humans. In other words, the Savior Jesus Christ actually became a Man to deliver us from the sin of the world.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

It’s written in Hebrews 2:1-3: “Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.” This passage admonishes us not to neglect the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit that we have heard and believed in to this day.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today’s Scripture passage teaches us that we must trust in the Word of God. Hebrews 4:1 says that whoever does not believe in the righteousness of God should tremble in fear, for he will be excluded from God’s promised blessings. There are many preachers in this world who are spreading the gospel of the water and the Spirit that contains the righteousness of God, and it is a wonderful blessing for anyone to hear this true gospel. All who hear the gospel of the water and the Spirit should therefore accept it into their hearts with joy. Only then will the problem of their hearts’ sins be resolved, and peace and rest can finally come into their hearts. Despite this, however, there are too many Christians still refusing to accept the gospel of the water and the Spirit into their hearts, and they are gripped by fear as a result. At the beginning of the Early Church era, such people were also found among the Jewish Christians who were scattered around the Mediterranean region.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Hebrews chapter 5 explains the High Priest of the earth and the heavenly High Priest by drawing a comparison between the two. The earthly High Priest was appointed from the descendants of Levi to offer sacrificial offerings to God in order to blot out his people’s sins. Even such High Priests of the earth appointed by God had many weaknesses, for they were all human and consequently imperfect. The High Priest could therefore have compassion on his people for their weaknesses and offer sacrifices on their behalf, for he himself was also weak.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

God the Father has blotted out all our sins so that anyone who believes in the righteousness of Jesus would be able to find true rest. God has made it possible for anyone of us to enjoy His rest just by believing in His righteousness. In other words, God has now permitted anyone who comes into the righteousness of Jesus Christ to find rest. Just as we can rest in comfort when we finish a project and we no longer have to work on it; so has our Lord prepared our salvation completely, so that we may be washed from all our sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. As our Lord has given us the gospel of the water and the Spirit in this age, He has enabled us to find rest by faith just as He had promised us. God rested on the seventh day of creation, and now He has blessed all of us who truly believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit to also rest.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today I would like to explain to you about the High Priest appearing in both the Old and New Testaments. In establishing an office to minister sacrifices to Him, God had appointed a High Priest to blot out His people’s sins. This was the great mercy and love that God offered to His people. However, every High Priest of the Old Testament was subject in fleshly weaknesses just like the ordinary people. It is written in today’s Scripture passage, “He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness” (Hebrews 5:2). Because the High Priests of the Old Testament were also subject to weakness, they could sympathize with their people and therefore, offer sacrifices to God on the people’s behalf for their weaknesses. In other words, when God appointed High Priests in the Old Testament to minister between God and the people of Israel, these appointed High Priests were also imperfect in their flesh just like everyone else.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

We can find the answer to this question in today’s Scripture passage drawn from Hebrews 6:1-20. Verses 1-8 in today’s Scripture reading teaches us that as we carry on with our lives of faith, all of us must lay a perfect foundation of faith regarding baptism, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment regardless of how mature or young our faith is. In other words, all of us who believe in Jesus as our Savior must be grounded in a firm foundation of faith.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

What exactly does it mean for a Christian to do dead works? It means failing to live by trusting in the righteousness of God. For Christian sinners to return to Christ and live a proper life of faith, they must first know what the righteousness of Christ is, cast away their dead works that are done among the heathen, and come into the presence of God. In other words, they must turn around from their worship of this world, correctly understand who God is and what His righteousness is, and truthfully return to Jesus Christ. To do so, they must realize how God has blotted out all their sins, and what glorious blessing He will give them in the future.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Through today’s Scripture passage we can see God’s servant admonishing us to inherit the promises of God through patience. We believe in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and He loves us and is serving us. Whenever we profess to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, we are professing to believe that the Lord was born on this earth to save us; that He is our High Priest; that He bore all our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist; that He died on the Cross in our place; that He arose from the dead; that He ascended to Heaven; and that all these things were done by Christ out of love to serve us.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
