Religion, Elementary Life of Faith, and Maturity

(Complete Life of Faith)

All the things before the New Covenant Revelation are elementary. However, Revelation had not been made known until today, and it had been sealed with mysteries (secrets). Even in the four gospels, the secrets of the kingdom of heaven had been hidden with parables. People say they are carrying out a life of faith but consider merely keeping the commandments as all there is to faith. However, faith is to see and believe what is promised and the fulfilled reality of [that promise].

What people had to believe in the Old Testament Bible was the covenant, and this covenant was [the promise] to fulfill the prophecies. What we need to believe in the New Testament is the new covenant, and this new covenant is [the promise] to fulfill the new prophecies. And seeing and believing them when they are fulfilled is what life of faith is. Therefore, there is an elementary life of faith and a mature (complete) life of faith. Believing in commandments and prophecy is elementary and seeing and believing the fulfillment of the prophecy is mature (complete) faith.

The secrets of the kingdom of heaven that are in parables are not just for anyone to know. The one who sees and knows when [they are] fulfilled is the one who believes.

Since the betrayal of Physical Israel, God had the new thing in his mind and prophesied it. This prophecy is completed at the time of the fulfillment of Revelation.

To the family members of Revelation, the fact that we know Revelation is not a small matter. We have gotten to know the tremendous fact that the world will change, and we will also change. People who don’t know what kind of world will come and people who know are different. A good world beyond our imagination—the era when the kingdom of heaven and God come and live together with us—has come. Missing this time is to miss out on something tremendous, and [that person] will have to go to an unwanted place and receive eternal punishment. The value of saying ‘I received it, I believe it, I know it’ is here. The hope of our faith; that result is big and great. Let us carry out the mature (complete) life of faith.
