(3) New Testaments
Those who are called, and those who are chosen
The meaning of the『person who is
called』is the expression that the person who comes to
the church with the grace of God and believes in Jesus. If the faith did not
come from God, but he believed in himself.『But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut
up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.』(Galatians 3:23) They
are people who think that their sin have been forgiven for the blood of Jesus
who was died on the cross. But it isn't unless one is born again. If you aren't
born again, hadn't chosen, you can't enter the kingdom of God.
Those who are
chosen are persons who are born again by water and Holy Spirit. The person to
born again believes that the flesh from the parents was died with Jesus. The
expression of『being dead』is
baptism.『Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.』(Romans 6:4) God makes to resurrect the persons(Those who believe in his mind) to be
dead with Jesus by the light of Holy Spirit. The resurrected body becomes a
spiritual body that does not die forever.
The Bible
says『that many people are called, but few are chosen. For many are called, but few are chosen.』(Matthew 22:14) The person who is
called from Jesus, but they Put in priority their thoughts rather than God’s words. But
those who are chosen obey God's word entirely.
The repentance
Repentance is a event
to turn to way of the life. It isn't that abandon a bad mind and have a good
mind. Although there is conscience in mind of human beings, evil mind appear in
any situation. Human beings do not change their mind with any effort. So the
oldself must be dead and must be born again to new man. Although Jesus was the
Son of God, God made Jesus to die to save the repentant. The repentant cognize
that the death of Jesus is the same his death. So, God makes the repentant to
die with Jesus also, makes to born again with Jesus too. This is the salvation
of the repentant.
Baptism is a
covenant. Baptism is a covenant between God and the repentant.『Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that
like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life.(Romans 6:4)』
Those who don't want
to remember the past life, they know means that to be born again. Repentance is
returning to the way of the life, it's original, pure state life. The spirit of
angels is pure in the kingdom of God. The spirit of the exiled angels became
dirty because evil angels wanted to be like God. So the spirit was trapped in
the soil and became a human being. Man continues to commit sin also. We must to
repent and to return to God. We must to be die with Jesus who died on the cross
and we can go back to God. If we don’t
return the way to God, we will be judged by fire.
In Jesus Christ
People say that if we believe in Jesus, we are saved
from the judgment of God. What do you mean that believe? This means the faith
to believe what Jesus said.『From that time forth
began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and
suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and be raised again the third day.(Matthew 16:21)』
They who believe in
Jesus are equal with the faith of Jesus. Believers also were died, and were raised again the third day
with Jesus. This faith is not a future faith but a present faith.
Therefore, this faith is expressed by baptism.
『Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God.』(John 3:5) Water represents the
death. If they had lived in Noah, they to be baptized would had been killed by
floods. The dead man by water on the baptism are born again by the Holy Spirit
and become righteous.『For he that is dead is
freed from sin.(Romans 6:7)』
The reason that people
must be died on the cross is on account of the evil in the body. God doesn't
forgive this evil. This evil is a desire to be like God. Everyone has an evil
mind that wants to be like God. They cognize that evil mind must be die. So we
must be die with Jesus. God opens the way of salvation to those who united
Jesus' death on the cross. I believe that Jesus was died for me, and that I
also am died with Jesus.
The life of newness to be born again
『Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.』(John 3:5) The life of newness to be born again is the resurrection. The resurrected body is different from
the previous one. After the resurrection, Jesus
suddenly appeared to the disciples.『And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in
the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.』 (Luke 24:36-37) He transformed himself.『After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they
walked, and went into the country.』(Mark 16:12) We can not
see the resurrected body because of the flesh. We just accept it by faith.
Why should we be born again? We can enter the kingdom of God only when
we are born again. To be born again, we must believe that we become the dead
same Jesus who was died on the cross. We must believe that Jesus, the Son of
God, was died for our sins. So the death of Jesus must be identified with our.『For he that is dead is freed from sin.』(Romans
6:7) God raises up people to be dead with Jesus.
If we are born again
by faith, then our consciousness enter in the resurrection life that the Holy Spirit
lead. Those who put consciousness in a new spiritual body They become being in Jesus Christ.
Being justified by the faith.
『Therefore being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ』(Romans
5:1) being justified by faith. The faith is the one
of Jesus Christ. A sinner can not meet God. If the
sinner is not righteous, he can not meet God, because God is holy. Those who was
died on the cross with Jesus can enter into the faith of Jesus Christ.『 For he that is dead
is freed from sin.』(Romans6:7)
『The
death of the cross and the righteousness of God are in accord. Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of
life.』(Romans 6:4) It isn't simply confession as that we
believe in Jesus. We must believe that we have been buried with Jesus in our
mind because we have been baptized. Baptism is a ceremony of the declaration
that my fresh was dead.
The
repentance is to abandon the flesh's mind and to turn to God. I believe that I
am a dead, and believe that I am born again with the spiritual body to God
gives. The mind of the spirit moves in the belief that we are born in the new
life. God rescues the spirit that was dead.
