At the wedding reception in Galilee, our Lord performed the miraculous work of turning water into wine. With this miracle our Lord provided all the wine that was needed for the wedding reception. The servants at the wedding feast could experience this miracle because they wanted to believe in our Lord and obey Him; they abided in faith and they fully accepted the Word of God ordering them to fill the jars with water.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

God is the Creator of the universe and the Almighty God and has absolute authority. Everything in the universe exists thanks to the grace of God. The sun, the moon, stars, animals, plants and everything else were all made according to the providence of God. God made us unique humans with a free will, and made us with high and noble values as beings that are able to receive God’s love.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

I intend to preach for a short time today. My voice isn’t hoarse from speaking at the Nathanael Training Conference; it’s hoarse because I yelled a lot when I went fishing. I know it’s not comfortable for your listening, but I hope you understand me. We made the daycare room well, didn’t we? We made it well, so the saints in the room can see me without any problem. Did you have a good dinner this evening? I have no time to warm up my voice for the sermon. We are all very busy today. Time seems to fly; today will be over before we know it.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Japanese interpreter: “I introduce the pastor who will speak to us today. He is the president of The New Life Mission. His name is Pastor Paul C. Jong, and he has written about fifty books about the Bible. Most of these books have been translated into various languages of the world, and he has now come to Japan to introduce these books to us. I am thankful for this opportunity to share grace with Mr. and Mrs. Kawashima and Mr. and Mrs. Sakamodo. At this time, Pastor Jong will preach a sermon.”   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

I commend you for the hard work during the past week. I cannot even imagine how the week passed by. It really passed by so quickly that I don’t even know what I have done. It was really tiring to hold the revival meeting and I am so exhausted with other things that I wish the Lord really would come quickly. I wish the Lord would come quickly when I think of just myself, but on the other hand, I want Him to come after a long time when I think of the people who have not yet been born again. It is really tiring as it is written, “All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it” (Ecclesiastes 1:8). The world is tiring and our hearts of the righteous are also very tired from overwork. There was so much work this week that I feel like I have lived one full year in a week. I really want our Lord to come to this world as soon as possible and I want to live in the beautiful place without lacking and live in comfort and relaxation. That’s how I really feel. Therefore I want to share the gospel even more quickly, so that our Lord would come quickly. We must preach the gospel even more quickly so that our Lord would come quickly.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

What among God’s Word should we believe in our spiritual walk? We should live out our faith by believing the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We must lead our spiritual life for our souls to receive salvation from all sins by believing in the righteousness of God, not for our fleshly benefit. We must lead our life of faith for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. We must also live out our faith for the salvation of the other people, not only for our souls.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

How have you been, everyone? I am sure you have had many things happen to you during the past few days as it did for me. Our human life is always facing continuing hardships and many tasks. But if we are people who have received the remission of sins, then we must understand what God is talking about and believe it and establish ourselves firmly upon that Word and follow the Lord with faith. I believe it is better to live each day having faith in the righteousness of the Lord than to be depressed by hardships and heavy burdens of work while lamenting in agony,   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Jesus blessed the five loaves of barley bread and two fishes that amounts to about one lunch pack and fed 5000 men and more than 10,000 people in total including children and women plentifully. Jesus blessed one lunch pack, multiplied it, and fed the crowd that followed Jesus. Therefore, the Jews followed Jesus in multitudes. The hungry and the sick followed Jesus in multitudes. Jesus healed the sick here one day and there the next day, and met those who had sin and remitted their sins. Jesus told the multitudes that followed Him, “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life.” He also said this is the food “which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Jesus was speaking to the Jews in this Scripture reading at the end of the Feast of the Tabernacles. Since He knew that the Jews would get hold of Him and hang Him to death on the Cross, which is why He asked, “Why do you seek to kill me?” To this they replied, “Are you crazy? You surely have a demon. Who is really seeking to kill you?” They did not know even at that point that Jesus was their Redeemer. Jesus spoke to them again. “I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me. You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.” But the Jews still could not understand what these words meant or who in fact this Jesus was.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Who can receive the grace of the remission of sins before Jesus like this woman? They are those who know full well that they are a mass of sin and commit adultery during their whole life. Everyone tries in his or her own way to receive cleansing of sins. But people who insist that they have never committed adultery cannot receive the grace of the remission of the sin. Those who cannot help but commit adultery can receive the grace of the remission of sins by meeting the Lord.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

The power of the gospel of the water and the Spirit is truly astonishing. This powerful gospel is the everlasting Truth of the salvation that we could never proclaim enough no matter how much we preach it. People would not struggle from the oppression of their own sins if they knew and believed in the power of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Those who truly know and believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit definitely receive the blessing of the salvation and all of the divine grace and blessings of the Heaven from God.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today I would like to share the Word of God with you from the Gospel of John chapter 8 verses 21 through 28. The Lord said to the Pharisees, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” The Lord said that even if He bore witness of Himself, His witness was true and that even though He knew where He had come from and where He was going, but they had no clue where they would be going. The Lord said that even though they judged according to the flesh, He did not do so.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Tonight I will be sharing the Scripture passage from the Book of John chapter 8, verses 31 through 36 with you. In this passage the Lord said, “If you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” A disciple of the Lord is someone who by faith abides in the spoken Word of the Lord. If we by faith abide in the Word of the Lord, we can indeed become disciples of the Lord. So, in order to become a follower of the Lord, one should lend our ears to what the Lord says and become someone who follows and obeys it by faith.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today we read verses 37 through to 47 in the Gospel of John chapter 8. In verses 37 and 38, Jesus said the following to the Jews who did not believe in Jesus: “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.” These are truly alarming Words. The Lord told the Jews and to those who do not believe in the fact that Jesus is the Savior, “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.” What Jesus really meant was, “I say to you that I am born of God the Father, and I was sent by Him. But whose descendants are you actually? I know that you are Abraham’s descendants by the flesh. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants and that you believe in and follow God. But because my word has no place in you, you seek to kill me.”   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today’s message will be centered on this Scripture passage, and I would like to speak to you about the theme, “Let us fully know Satan’s attributes and defeat him by our faith of believing in God.” In today’s Scripture passage, the Lord tells the Pharisees, “You are of your father the devil” (John 8:44). So, step by step, we will try to find out what the true meaning of these Words of the Lord really is and also what Truth He is trying to tell us through them.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 

Today’s Scripture study is the last part of the Gospel of John chapter 8. This passage of Scripture tells us clearly that the Jews had no idea who Jesus really was. Therefore the Jews started quibbling with Jesus, “Do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor me.”   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
