[Feature Story] Towards New Jerusalem, the most glorious place in Heaven!
What is the reason why God created the heavens in the beginning, and man in His image? It is to gain true children who can give and receive love with God forever. What is the reason why God forgives everyone who believers in Jesus Christ so that they can be saved and reach the kingdom of Heaven, and gives them the gift of the Holy Spirit the Helper? It is to help them to become true children who give birth to spirit through the Holy Spirit and achieve the heart of spirit so that they can take New Jerusalem, the most glorious place in Heaven by force.
Have you determined to achieve your goal? You must have a clear sense of purpose.
If you have an easy thought, ‘I may achieve the heart of spirit someday’, it means that you do not have a clear sense of purpose. Only with a clear sense of purpose, you can change your life.
Only when you have a clear reason, such as the reason why you love God and the reason why you must enter New Jerusalem, your sense of purpose will lead you to make a decision. The more deeply you are awakened to the love you have received from the Lord, the clearer your sense of purpose to become the fruit of that love quickly you will have so that you can make a change in a short period of time.
Are you taking New Jerusalem by force? You have to obey in the works of the Holy Spirit.
Those who are determined towards a goal can leave the things they hold most precious(Mark 10:29-30). If you still love the world and don’t throw away your pride and stick to yourself, you’re not taking the kingdom of Heaven by force. Only when you can leave even the most difficult things to leave, you can pray with the help of the Holy Spirit and you will have the desire to read the Word of God and to live by the Word. In this way, when the desire to do something in the works of the Holy Spirit, you can obey and maximize efficiency.
To become the true children of God, it is important to practice the Word without change.
If you practice the Word of God truly with the heart, you can bear the fruit of the spirit. If obedience comes from the heart, you can achieve spiritual change because you do it without change. At this time, it is important to act unchangingly. So, if you keep practicing the Word without missing any of them in order to pull out the attribute of changing mind, each of your deeds will be accumulated and you will be able to practice the Word without change. If you have a clear sense of purpose and go forward without change, even leaving the most difficult to leave, your resolution will become true and it will bear the perfect fruit.
