God’s Will, the Sin, Forgiveness, Love and Salvation

God’s Will, the Sin, Forgiveness, Love and Salvation


Main reference: Mt 6:12-15 (Jas 1:15, 1 Pt 1:23)

Adam, the first man who was created in God’s own image and likeness sinned. Therefore, all people born of the gene of Adam are all sinners. Because of this, every person should hope for his or her sins to be forgiven and try to be free of sin. For this, we should love our neighbors as ourselves and forgive others, do good and keep the commandments of God. Jesus said to love even your enemies, and forgive our debtors so that we can be forgiven.

(Jn 15:9-12)
9. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
11. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
12. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

(1 Jn 4:5-8)
5. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
6. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is now we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
7. Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Because God has loved us who are sinners, there is salvation for us; and when we love sinners there is salvation for them. Therefore, we should love even our enemies. We should forgive others their faults in order for us to be forgiven. Through this we can know God’s true love and know ourselves. When we start understanding God’s true will we start to know our work.

Adam was created by God, but he betrayed and went to the serpent, taking with him all the inheritance given from God. However, God has been working to restore everything back to its origin. He has loved all creation giving us light, rain and air. This is God’s love that has given us life.

People sin after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death (Jas 1:15). God has loved even sinners, so whoever comes from God should love others as God does.

If people properly understand about God, religion, history, and ancestors, they will also understand that they are all are sinners since they are born by Adam’s gene. As the ancestor is the same, we are all brothers and sisters. People who belong to the earth are all sinners, but God is the Holy Creator. We have been given the love of the Holy God, who sacrificed His one and only son for us, the sinners. We are all the same sinners, if we persecute and curse the same brothers who are born from the same ancestor, even though we receive this kind of love, we depart from the word in Matthew 5:43-48; whereas Holy God loves sinners. Although we are the same sinners, still, if people hate and persecute, this action becomes an evidence they have received an evil spirit. Wouldn’t that be so? The Lord told us love your enemies. We should follow what the Lord, who gives us life, says.

People’s deaths are the result of sins. Sin is given by the serpent, who is the devil. Hardships and pains are also from the devil. Those who are born of God will love like God does; yet those who are born of the devil will act on sin and evilness instead of love. It is recorded Jesus will send the Advocate to us, and he will make known to us what he received from Jesus (Jn 16:7-15). Jesus also spoke about him, saying: (When he comes, he will prove the world) about sin, because people do not believe in the LORD; about righteousness, because you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. The Counselor, the Spirit of truth, whom the Father will send in Jesus’ name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything Jesus has said to you (Jn 14:26), and he will guide you into all the truth. Also Jesus said he, the Counselor, will live with you (Jn 14:16-17).

John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah ( Mt 11:13-14, Lk 1:17), Jesus came in the name of Father (Jn 5:43), the Counselor comes in Jesus’ name. This Counselor (spirit) works with the messenger who speaks on behalf of Jesus, who is sent to the churches in Revelation 22:16. This person delivers the fulfillment of the prophecy of Revelation and he testifies what he saw to the churches.

The will of God is to forgive, love sinners and do the work of salvation. His son Jesus, with the same heart, atoned for our sin by bearing the cross and shed his blood for sinner’s sin in order to forgive and save them. This is the love of God and Jesus, and this is an eternal love of life. Therefore, Jesus told us to love one another in the same way. Jesus did not create sin and carry out the act of putting the guilt on someone else.

The love of God and Jesus has left because our life of faith became old and corrupted. Evil and Satan have come. If Satan enters, we do carry out evil actions like Satan, and come to like evil more than love. This is the proof of Satan’s evil spirit being with them, not Christ’s spirit of love. The person who has the Spirit of Christ, has love and forgiveness like Christ, as well as righteousness.

True believers must not betray like Adam and must not do evil deeds like the serpent. The serpent deceived Adam and Eve, who were able to live eternally, and caused them to die. Evil, even a minor thing, even the image of it must not be seen. How can there be forgiveness without God’s will and love and salvation? In the New Testament, which is the promise of God, there is the work of betrayal, destruction and the work of salvation. In this salvation, there is love and forgiveness.    

Where we will go is where our Holy God is, the holy Heaven! Those who live there must also become holy like our God. That is the only way to live there with Him. If we do not live by the commands (love and forgiveness) given to us by our Lord, we will not be able to go to Heaven. Therefore, only those who act according to God will go to Heaven. Everyone will be judged before God on judgment day. They will be judged according to the words recorded in the book (Bible). (Jn 12:48, Rv 20:12)

We need to become a clean bowl, as clear as glass with no faults or blemishes when we stand before God. The reason God left man-kind was because he couldn’t co-exist with sinners. The only-begotten son’s blood was necessary in order to cleans that sin. Furthermore, we need to be born again with the seed of God to be in the image and likeness of God once more.

We were released from the captivity of sin by the blood of Jesus. We were born again by the seed of God to become an entirely new creation, the holy children of God. This new creation was the result of the priceless love of Jesus and God, a sinner into a righteous being. They are the re-created people of Heaven. The thoughts of the flesh are death, and the thoughts of the spirit are eternal life. The thoughts of flesh and loving worldly things is going against God. (Rom 8:5-7, Jas 4:4) This world is conquered by the devil, and the people returned to the flesh, just like Adam, whose spirit died. And the world received judgment because the sons of God and the daughters of the earth became one in flesh, as told in Genesis chapter 6.

Therefore, we need to believe and follow the God of heaven. We must become His children to become one family to live with God in Heaven, where He reigns, once He captures the dragon. We are the twelve tribes; the people of heaven spoken of in Revelations. Let’s offer our thanks and glory to our Father God.

Amen!
