(3) The redemption



『and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.』(Romans 3:24) Many church people do not know the meaning of the preceding sentence.

They believe to be justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Christian say『if you believe Jesus, you will be saved from the Judgment of God.』It is false. It is the believing in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, you can be saved, but If you believe Jesus, you will not be saved from God. The sentence between『You believe Jesus』and『you believe in Jesus』are different. The word that I believe in Jesus means to be one with Jesus. It is seems to be slaves of Jesus, because Jesus paid Satan price of blood to buy Satan’s slaves. This is the redemption. Every man is a slave to Satan. So it is said to be a slave of sin.

Sinner against God becomes free from sin through the redemption when a sinner is redeemed. Persons are redeemed by Jesus will be born again. The life of the born again means the change from life in jail to be life to the royal Palace. This is a spiritual story. This is an amazing thing. So those who are born again take off their prisoners, change into good clothes, and enter the palace. However, even if they think we are born again, they can not enter the kingdom if does not take off their prisoner's clothes. Prisoner's clothes is a symbol representing disobedience to God. Prisoner's clothes means greed heart of man. Prisoner's clothes symbolizes the mind that wants to be like God. This is hiding in everyone's mind. People can not remove this on their own.

God's helping is needed to take off prisoner's clothes. You must put your prisoner's clothes on the dead body of Jesus who was died on the cross. This represents the thing to burial with the dead of Jesus. This is a baptism ritual. Baptism is the thing to be buried, not to get rid of sin. Peter say that『and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,』(Peter 3:21), Baptism is a burial. The apostle Paul said in Romans “that we were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4) Man must be judged by God at the death of the body because the spirit in the flesh had sinned against God in the kingdom of God, so it is to be evaluated whether it can go back to the kingdom of God.

The spirit trapped in the body is asleep. The soul is replacing the spirit. The soul regards the prisoner’s clothing as his clothes. The soul has no desire to take off the prisoner's clothes. The soul does not want to know about God. The soul makes God for himself. In order to be saved from the wrath of God, one must remove the prisoner's clothing. Only the way of joining Jesus who died on the cross is the way to be saved. We must repent to God take off the prisoner's clothes. God is the God whom Jesus calls Father. If we are in Jesus, God become our father. We must bury the prisoner's clothes with Jesus who died on the cross. You must believe in Jesus and be baptized, to be saved from God.

1. Introduction

The Bible says that evil angel did not keep his position so that God put the evil angel in the pit. The Bible also says that God created man aby the soil. Is the pit the soil, right? Few people think that the pit is the soil. The first created human being was born as a thinker(soul), but there is no talk about the spirit. 『 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 』 (Genesis 2:7)   The spirit is dead. The salvation is the story about the spirit. 『 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 』 (John 6:63) Most people on earth do not know the state of the spirit. Humans do not know that the spirit can live unless the fresh(soul) is dead.   So we have 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 ...

(2) The kingdom of God as the spirit world

Human beings can not see the spiritual kingdom of God through the eyes of the flesh. God tells people about the kingdom of God through the Bible. John who was the apostle recorded in the book of Revelation the kingdom of God which he saw when he was confined in the island of Patmos. 『 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 』 (Revelation21:10-11) Jewels symbolize the suffering and the patience. And the Apostle Paul also said the experience. 『 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whet...

2. The kingdom of God (1) Heavens

(1) Heavens The heavens mean that there are several heavens. The first heaven is generally the atmosphere. The second heaven is outer space. Third, heaven means the kingdom of God. 『 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 』 (2 Corinthians 12: 2) Genesis (1: 1) of niv Bible makes it seem as if the creation of heaven and earth of this world and the kingdom of God were made together. Genesis (1:1) of kjv Bible say that heaven is an outer space, including the atmosphere, which is a concept against the earth. Why are niv and kjv translated differently? There is Satan's intention to blur the meaning of this world. God intended to confine the angels who sinned in the kingdom into this world. The criminal angels were stripped of their clothes, and their spirits were trapped in the mud. So it became human. God placed Sa...
