Only through Jesus Christ(Romans1:8)

[瑤翰 김요한]

 The church ignores the fact that man is born wrong and must be born again, and accepts the religion, philosophy, and method of education that man can change by educating the intellect. 

Because one have to words that even a child can understand.

However, if we explain the grace of the redemption of the cross, in which those who died in Adam died and rose again with Christ, who would easily understand this?

The Word of God is heard only by those who have been called in Christ.

Christianity is the self-righteousness that dies through Christ, lives again through Christ, sits at the right hand of God the Father through Christ, is raptured through Christ, and lives forever with Christ.

Q. Why is Jesus Christ the only mediator?

“First I thank my God  through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of  throughout the  whole world”. (Romans 1:8)

A. The apostle Paul was a thoroughly biblical man.

The proof is that he is completely bound to Jesus Christ.

Paul says Jesus Christ is the only mediator.

That's why thanksgiving is also through Jesus Christ.

God does not listen to man in fallen Adam.

He hears only the Lord's advocacy for us (1 John 2:1).

Because the Lord at the right hand of God's throne considers the will of our thanksgiving, prayers, and praises and advocates its before God, its are delivered before God.

We must not be mistaken as if we can speak directly before God.

If you take out Christ as the only mediator, you have pluralism that believes in the same God.

The Holy Spirit also groans, and since we do not know what we ought to pray for, he knows the deep will of God (1 Cor. 2:10) and always intercedes on our behalf (Rom. 8:26).

Our Father is the original substance, and our Lord, who is the glory of the substance, is with us anytime and anywhere in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

The principle that God is the Father is the same for everyone.

However, the blessing that comes to each person differs depending on they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and how serve him.

Sometimes I come to my senses by asking myself how much I revere the Lord I am attending.

That much human sinfulness is independent.

The Lord said, 'I am the way,  the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me' (John 14:6).

It also means to use himself, the only passage to the Father, a lot.

Only mediator between Heavenly Father and us is  the Lord. (1 Timothy 2:5)

By Christ, we eat Christ, and through Christ we come to the Father.

Jesus Christ is the priest of atonement for our sins who died on the cross, rose again to reconcile us who had become enemies to God, and is still alive as a priest of mediation for us.

He became the priest of atonement on the cross, and the priest of mediation who saves us completely by allowing us to come to God through him (Hebrews 7:25).

Only in Christ does God's providence appear as mercy.

God's mercy does not appear outside of Jesus Christ.

So, Paul says, in knowing the results of God's providence, if a person shows severity, that person is cut down and cast aside from Christ, but if he has the goodness, he is called into Christ, grafted into God's goodness, and abiding in God's goodness. (Rom 11:22)

There are exceptions only for those who are in grace at the redemption of Christ, and there God justifies, has mercy on, and bestows blessings.

Therefore, we must know that we are not qualified to give thanks to God and know that our existence is recognized only through Jesus Christ.

To not forget the grace of Christ's redemption means that when you approach God, do not think of going with your own qualifications, but always think of what qualifications God has bestowed on you through Jesus Christ.

So, if you always regard yourself as one who died and rose again with Jesus Christ, deny yourself, and confess that there is only Christ , the Holy Spirit works.

This is the principle of coming to Heavenly Father by following the truth.

Holding on to this way is the way to abide in His blessing.

Q. What are the conditions to be thankful for?

A. The condition of Paul's gratitude is 'for all people'.

The faith to give thanks for the sake of others is the proof that the apostle Paul was a servant of the Lord who had the qualifications to be an apostle.

Therefore, servants for the gospel must leave the concept of themselves.

In fact, a person who lives stubbornly for himself is an unhappy person.

It is a misfortune to live life only for his own meaning, value and purpose.

‘First I live for the Lord, then I live for you…’ It should be like this.

It should be like this, but not through education.

According to the word of truth, the attributes of God permeate in us through Christ, and the old nature in Adam must be changed into a new nature in Christ.

That is why the Sermon on the Mount, which the Lord preached for the first time, is very important.

Matthew 5 organizes and reinterprets the concept of the law.

Matthew 6 tells us to pray the Lord’s prayer to seek his righteousness for the law.

Chapter 7 of Matthew tells us to seek the Holy Spirit, fine and knock, and work out the righteousness of becoming one with Christ.

The Spirit of truth comes and fulfills the 8 blessings by keeping the commandments to become one with Christ within him, so those who have completed the production process of becoming salt and light (Matthew 5:14) will don't no longer have a sense of guilt or worry about life's problems.

Because he is a blessed person.

If God has given us salvation that requires us to be zealous of faith only for ourselves, then God is not like God.

God wants us to rise to the level of faith to be thankful for others.

So, the first thing Paul does is give thanks.

It comes from his faith.

It is thanksgiving that the faith of the Christians in Rome has been manifested throughout the world.

Because Paul can thank others for their faith, he can embrace that great Rome.

Even a petty and impatient person like me becomes holy in Christ by constantly following the truth, challenges and challenges to glory, and as a result, a loving heart is born, and you will see that the breadth of prayer expands to five oceans six continents and becomes bold.

There is no enviable target in the world, and there is no hateful person.

It is only full of gratitude and pity for the sick and the unenlightened.

Therefore, we must endure for ourselves while accepting the mercy of God who paid off our past through the grace of Christ's atonement.

You must give a lot of water to the seeds of life sown in you through the Word.

We started off as sinners in Adam and were all selfish human beings.

When your cousin buys a rice field, you get a stomach ache, a small church criticizes a large building church, and you start out as an ugly person who gets belly twisted even when you see a luxury car.

Through Romans, we must start out as sinners, become righteous, and think spiritually in Christ, so that we gain life and peace, and the freedom of the glory of the Son of God and move on to the blessing of enjoying abundance due to the image of the Son of God.

That is why they say that a miraculous sign will come only about 10 years after I received the Word.

If you want to grow quickly, do not be lazy in Christ, but diligently seek the truth, so that you must sprinkle much of the water of God's grace and mercy into your heart.

If you follow the flow of Romans over and over again, you will learn the secret of putting yourself on the way by learning the system through which sinners are justified and glorified.

That is also the secret of the righteous who meditate on the Law of the Lord in Psalm 1 day and night.
