Construction of the Kingdom of God and Paul's Epistles 2 <Justifying faith and the framework Law that form the foundation of the Kingdom>
Hallelujah! Heavenly Father, rich in mercy! I thank you and praise you for spreading amazing and amazing news to the whole world. I sincerely pray that the correct meaning of Paul's letters will soon be widely known in the world and that the kingdom of God will be established on this earth. When God came to me about 37 years ago, I prayed to be a tool. In fact, I didn't even know what the tool meant, but God gave me great grace and love, and I was able to share this amazing news. I only hope that the Lord's will will be accomplished through me. With God the Father's devastating love, the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the atonement love of the cross, a vicious sinner undertakes this task, and everything is just God's grace. Through the inspiration and influence of the Holy Spirit, ignorant people were able to spread to the whole world the part of the understanding of Romans that had been at the center of controversy for a long time, namely justification from faith and the meaning of the Law through this. Through this, may the entire church become one and wake up from all illusions and move together into the world of truth! May the whole world become one in the Lord without war or strife through this people who have pursued peace for 3,000 years! I pray in the name of Jesus.
Shalom! Fifty million Romans readers! I pray that everyone will be filled with the grace that God gives. Something truly amazing and surprising is happening today. I've already told you this, but I've organized it a little more and delivered it in English. I believe that everyone who reads my writing will take a truly new approach to the theologically controversial justification from faith and solve the big problem, which is the 500-year- old controversy between Catholicism and Protestantism. All believers in Jesus and shepherds in this world rely heavily on theology. On the other hand, there are also people who study the Bible professionally. However, since they learn as a student at a seminary and become a shepherd and Bible researcher, they can never ignore the seminary's teachings. However, even though I studied theology and became a pastor, I am writing this article without any professional theological study, asserting that it will be a great solution to this long-standing debate.
After reading this article, I believe that we must come to a correct understanding of justification from faith and the Law, and move forward together toward the kingdom that God wants to establish on this earth. The English translation is not yet complete, but I am uploading it as is.
There are still a lot of areas(parts) that need to be refined before it can be published as a book. Please refer to it and understand its larger meaning.
I hope that it will be a blessed time for everyone who reads this to share the amazing grace given to a humble life.
This has already been posted and is a bit long, but please read until the end and also read it in English. I hope you have a blessed and joyful moment where all your doubts are cleared away at once. I'm surprised, honored, and can't quite believe that I got to be a tool for something like this.Because the article is long, I am dividing it into three parts.

Evangelist ・ 2021. 6. 26. 5:35
Hallelujah! Heavenly Father, full of love and mercy! Thank you for always being with us in a dizzy and turbid world, comforting us, giving us strength, and leading us on the right path. Corona shows no sign of ending, and our brothers of faith, who have to gather together, fellowship with each other, and praise God together, are earnestly praying that we will gather again soon.
There is a lot of rain this year, and there are many days when the sky is clear, and June is coming to an end, and the weather is cool in the morning and evening. Corona has an impact on the world's climate. There are no signs of an end, with new variants appearing again. Still, let us spend this time patiently with prayer and preparation so that we can praise God more and more when we gather again! Decay and injustice can only be discerned by the standards of the Bible, but we are trying to overcome this age with the laws of the world and our own opinions without the Law.
Please let 50 million people and 10 million believers learn well and keep the Law, the greatest law in history given by God! We pray fervently in the name of our Lord Jesus. amen!
Shalom! I am coming back here after a long time. Recently, I have collected and organized the articles that have already been posted to organize the 50 million Bible Summary. And as a preface to this article, I wrote an article titled above and upload it.
We know the belief in justification from faith from what we learned in the church that all believers are justified by faith. Along with this, I told you that I met Jesus, repented, was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and received the gift of the Holy Spirit after receiving the remission of sins from God. And as I continued evangelism, I later explained that I came to understand justification through the testimony of 'justification from faith shown to the evangelist'. The main contents are expressed as shown in the figure below.
Based on the understanding of Acts 2:38, I drew it as above. And I said that the process of justification is important. I thought that if there was forgiveness of sins worthy of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, it would be so. However, recently, while organizing the warm-up part of the study of Romans, Galatians and Habakkuk, I came up with the following. This is the most recent understanding.
Until I reached this understanding, I understood justification as in the above process. And again, based on this, through the understanding of Habakkuk, which is a preceding step in understanding Romans, the time when justification takes place for the saints is adjusted to a certain time when they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and live by faith. The article below explains that.

2. Faith as the foundation of God’s kingdom
The faith in Romans 1:17 is a faith with two meanings. At the same time, it is an explanation related to the faith of the two people. It is not about mere belief.
First, the two meanings are beliefs with temporal continuity. This means that in order for the faith to be justified by God, it must not be a temporary, instantaneous, or just-started faith, but a faith that does not change over time. This is explained in Romans 4:17-22 through the faith of Abraham.
Next, the faith to become another justification is to trust God and live righteously even in the midst of suffering. This can be confirmed through the words of Habakkuk 2:4.
In order to become a justifying faith, you must first have a consistent faith that does not change over time. Along with this, even if the country perishes and all the people of one's own people commit injustice, we must always look to and believe in the righteous God, and even if the whole world does injustice, we must have faith that will never waver and live righteously. Not only must your faith in God not change over time, but you must believe in God even if there are hardships, and you must have faith in living a righteous life day by day.
The Bible testifies clearly, decisively and without compromise that this is the faith in which the believer is justified by God in Romans.
Now, for this argument, let us understand the true meaning of faith by examining the lives of the two figures who are examples of faith quoted in Romans through the Bible. First of all, Abraham, the ancestor of faith recorded in Genesis, firmly believed in the Creator, Almighty, and Righteous God and His word of promise without changing over time. He believed in the fact that Almighty God would surely put into practice God's word of promise, which was impossible to realize or even think about as a human being. This faith was unwavering no matter how old and time passed. Eventually, when he reached the age of 100, he received the son of promise and became the ancestor of countless believers like the stars in the sky, as well as the ancestor of Israel. The words of Romans 4:17-22 prove this.
Abraham's faith was not a momentary, temporary, or beginning faith, but an unchanging faith in an impossible promise and in God who fulfills that promise. It was through this faith that he was justified. We must never forget this meaning and background behind the word faith.
Romans 4:17. As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed -- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
18. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
19. Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead -- since he was about a hundred years old -- and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
20. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21. being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
22. This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness.“
17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.(NIV,KJV)
Next, let's look at Habakkuk's faith in the book of Habakkuk. In Romans 1:17, it is translated as “Only my righteous will live by faith,” so it seems that the righteous survive or live because they have faith. However, these words are not the words of the prophet Habakkuk, but the words of God who justified Abraham to the prophet Habakkuk in Habakkuk 2:4.
However, under what circumstances God spoke these words to Habakkuk, we must know the circumstances before and after chapter 2 in order to understand the exact meaning of these words. Therefore, readers who want to understand all Romans accurately and deeply must open Habakkuk and read the whole text carefully. Fortunately, the book of Habakkuk is only three chapters, so anyone can easily read it.
Prophet Habakkuk prophesied the destruction of southern Judah in the midst of the imminent destruction of Israel after the division of Israel into north and south, and the destruction of northern Israel in about 722 B.C. am. He prophesied from about 609 to 605 BC.
South Judah was destroyed by Babylon in 586 B.C., but there were already 1st and 2nd invasions of Babylon in 605 and 598, so it can be said that he was the last prophet of South Judah.
At the time of the prophet Habakkuk, the fall (corruption) of southern Judah was so serious that people who wanted to live righteously could no longer live. The law was gone, and the priests, the dignitaries, and the whole people were doing iniquity.
At this time, righteous people like Habakkuk, who wanted to live righteously against such injustice, reported this unrighteous misery to God even though they were their own people when they could no longer lead a righteous life. Habakkuk asked, “Why does God, who is just, not judge the corrupt people like this?
Regarding this, God says that he will never look at it, and he answers that he will judge South Judah by using the evil country Babylon, which conquered the whole world at the time, as a tool of judgment.
In response, the prophet Habakkuk said, "Even though Judah is evil, it is not as evil as Babylon. How can the God of justice use Babylon, which is more vicious, as an instrument of judgment?" and ask God again.
God's answer to Habakkuk's question is in Habakkuk 2:4, which is quoted from the well-known Romans 1:17, "Only the righteous will live by faith.“
Looking at this situation before and after, let's look at the words of Habakkuk 2:4 and understand its meaning correctly.
Habakkuk 2:4. "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright -- but the righteous will live by his faith --
4. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
4. "Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.(NIV, KJV, NASB)
God said that he would never look good on such a arrogant Babylon. And God said that Babylon would also be destroyed terribly in return for its evil deeds. Also, according to the word of God, Babylon was destroyed by the Persians as prophesied by the prophet Habakkuk.
If you look at the main text, it is said that such a babellon is neither recognized nor loved by God, but the righteous who are loved and acknowledged by God will live a life by faith.
Faith here is clearly faith in God. However, the God here is not the Almighty God who blesses Abraham and fulfills the promise, but the God who judges the unrighteous fellow countryman, Judah, and the God who judges Babylon, who destroyed Judah.
And it is trust in the righteous God who judges the unrighteous world where the righteous who want to live righteously can no longer live, even if it is God's chosen people.
Not only that, but it is trust in God who always and everywhere protects those who live righteously. It is also the belief that God is the one who judges this unjust world and ultimately creates a just world where those who want to live righteously can live happily.
Habakkuk 2:4 and Romans 1:17 say that the righteous live by this faith. The meaning of living, as translated in the revision of the revision, will also partially imply the meaning of surviving because there is such faith.
However, a more precise meaning is that they will live a life of faith day by day, just like the English record will live. At the time of Habakkuk, it became a difficult world for a truly honest and just person to maintain his or her chastity and live uprightly.
The injustice of the same people is rampant, the country is destroyed, the invasion and exploitation of the great power Babylon, and death and captivity are waiting in succession.
16. I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.
16. When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
16. I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise [who] will invade us.
As Habakkuk put it, the world has become a world where people cannot live normally and peacefully, but the righteous recognized by God firmly believe in the loving and powerful God who not only always solves all problems even in the midst of these tribulations and hardships, but also always protects them like the pupil of the pupil. (belief in God)
Along with this, the righteous recognized by God will never compromise with injustice, will never be shaken, will endure each day with firmness, justice, and chastity, and will surely live a life of faith. (The reasonable life of those who have faith)
Habakkuk 2:4 is the word of God about those who live a righteous life with this kind of faith.
Both believers and non-believers can easily understand the original meaning of this sentence by looking at the text through several translations in English and other Korea languages(Korean versions). No room for excuses, no sense of shallow faith, no room for imperfect understanding is now available to everyone.
There is only the fact that the meaning of justifying faith in Romans 1:17 is a consistent and unchanging faith with continuity of time, and the fact that it is a faith that acts by looking only to God and believing in God in any circumstance and living a righteous life.
Abraham's faith and the contents of Habakkuk prove this, and the recognition of the righteousness of such faith is always God's sovereignty. Hallelujah!
It is clear that God allows us to understand this content not to criticize or condemn anyone, but to correct anyone who is wrong in understanding this part. We must know that God wants repentance, not condemnation and punishment.
Lastly, to all the people in the world who always read my writing,
A big thank you to everyone.
About 350,000 people gave me the strength to write without stopping for about 5 years.
I hope everyone becomes a spiritual master. thank you
