[瑤翰 김요한]

The Book of James is the book of those who have crossed over the Book of Hebrews.

You must know the Book of Hebrews. You must be a Hebrew.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross, God has transferred us from death to life.

He has transferred us from sin to righteousness, from darkness to light, and from the devil into Christ.

Good and evil can be discerned by the flesh, but heavenly and earthly things can only be discerned through being born again. Only the living know.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Lord destroys the devil, who holds the power of death, and transferred and sustains us into Christ. We are holy brothers who have participated in the heavenly calling.

If you do not participate in his holiness, discipline comes.

You must be at peace with everyone and participate in God's holiness.

Only then can you approach God's glory.

However, driven by our own greed, we give birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Through death, we come to act as enemies of God. The only way to overcome this death is through the law of the Spirit of life in our Lord Jesus Christ.

God loved the world and gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Those who believe in him have eternal life.

The Word came to this earth as Jesus, participated in flesh and blood, to teach the truth, was crucified and died for our sins, and rose again from the dead for our righteousness. Then he ascended to heaven, sat at the right hand of God, and sent the Spirit of truth within us. Jesus, who is the Word, has come into us through the Spirit of truth, and He is Christ the Word. It is the Anointing and Immanuel.

God has made Jesus, who was crucified, Lord and Christ. 

Remember this.

Through  death and resurrection of Christ, we have been transferred to Christ, and Christ dwells within us through the Holy Spirit. We are new creations in Christ, and through faith, we have eternal life. Hallelujah!

The only thing that can overcome this death is the law of the Spirit of life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Before the atoning grace of the cross, we were descendants of fallen Adam, slaves of sin, death, darkness, and curse; but after the atoning grace of the cross, we became children of righteousness, life, light, and blessing in Christ.

We have gone from being of the earth to being of heaven. Hallelujah.

We have become holy brothers who partakers of the heavenly calling.

If we deeply contemplate Jesus Christ, the Apostle and High Priest, and firmly hold to the assurance and boast of hope until the end, we become the house of God and partakers of Christ.

We must not harden our hearts when we hear the voice of God.

However, when the flesh hears the voice of Holy Spirit, their heart hardens. It is an evil heart. It cannot receive Christ within them. 

It is the Antichrist. 

It tries to place God in sky and believe, but they avoid to receive him within them. Therefore, there is no eternal life. Unable to be born again, They merely live as a slave to sin and death, acting as an enemy of God. Ultimately, through the resurrection of death, it suffers the harm of the second death.

There are self-proclaimed servants of the Lord in the lake of fire.

Those who partakers of Christ approach the throne of grace boldly. The glory of God shines in their hearts. Glory, glory, Hallelujah.

They come to participate in His glory.

We are tempted because of our greed; it gives birth to sin and death. It stains us with the world.

We must possess pure religion and undefiled before God the Father.

What is pure religion?

It is living by Christ.

To live by Christ means to live by the Lord's Spirit and life.

If we deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus Christ, the Lord gives us his Spirit and life. Christ is the life-giving Spirit.

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me " (Galatians 2:20)

If we keep his commandments—that is, if we firmly keep the new covenant that Christ is in me and I am in Christ—the Father's love is manifested within us, and the Lord, having loved us, reveals himself within us. Hallelujah.

His life is manifested within us. The light of his glory shines within us.

Then praise arises. Thus, we become praise of God's glory.

This is pure religion; it has absolutely faultless before God.

It bears the fruit of the Spirit. It is love.

However, hypocritical  religion bears the fruit of the flesh. Flesh is a slave to sin and death in its very existence, it pours out death.

Romans 8:6 states, "The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace." When we follow the Spirit in Christ, the law of the Spirit of life applies to us.

Death or Life: This is the task of a Christian.

We must kneel before God the Father, approach the throne of grace, and eagerly await to receive his mercy and grace. Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down  from the Father of lights.

We come to the Father, and the Father comes to us. We pray, "Thy kingdom come," in the Lord's Prayer.

Heaven belongs to those who force it.

We must strive to hold to the Lord so that the glory of heaven fills and overflows our hearts, enabling us to sing Hallelujah with vigor.

I pray that such blessings be upon you.
