Chapter 299: Core of Faith

"The core of faith is to believe in the promise of the Creator, and eternal life is the promise of the Creator to us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Faced with his arms raised like a grove, Paul III did not immediately ask the question by name in the usual way, but suddenly added.

He believes that the content of this sentence is the finishing touch to understanding what eternal life is.

With this foundation, he can save a lot of tongue when answering questions, and also save him from groping in areas where the direction is unknown.

He has no direction, and everyone will be confused.

Sometimes, when it comes to preaching, it's not just a matter of talking too much, and it's not a matter of being tired and tired of work that gives you a lot of credit.

There must also be wisdom in this matter.

Wisdom is the highest in the Creator, who is all wisdom.

No one dares to compare with the Creator in wisdom.

If a loud voice and a lot of speech can be believed, can't the Creator shout all over the world with a voice louder than a loudspeaker?

Therefore, Paul III was always ready to adjust his preaching strategy, and never took his experience as a dogma and copied it everywhere.

"The Creator has given us a promise, and we believe in it, and this is the core of our faith, and eternal life is one of the key elements of this promise!

Only then did Paul III return to the stubble in front of him.

When Paul III spoke just now, everyone put their hands down, and now they are raised again.

But it's already sparse.

It can be seen that his strategy just now is still very effective.

"Teacher, how do you become a believer?"

Hearing that Bogu came out to speak.

He, who has always been called a cultural believer, had always been unimpressed before, and now he knows that the modifier before this believer makes him a person who is not a believer.

If you are not a believer, don't you have eternal life?

This teacher Paul said it clearly!

Of course, he had to take this opportunity to figure it out, and he had to solve the problem.

Otherwise, no matter how much knowledge he has, he is not a believer, and thus he will not have eternal life.

"Believe in the incarnate Creator and have eternal life!"

Paul III replied reverently.

Or this sentence!

The literati Bogu is certainly familiar with it.

He couldn't help but be silent and fell into deep thought.

Paul continued his lecture on the topic of what is eternal life, and the subtitle was the promise of the Creator that eternal life.

"From the beginning of the history of the Creator's creation of man, the Creator has made a series of promises to man according to his mercy and love.

Prominent is the promise to the Father of faith and His descendants.

The most important of these promises is the promise of eternal life.

"To put it simply, it means believing in the incarnate Creator and attaining eternal life, which is what I just said to Wenren Bogu.

"That's the basic stuff of the good news we've created.

From our discussion above, we can see that the content of this promise is also related to the command of the Creator.

We understand, of course, that believing in the incarnate Creator to attain eternal life not only dictates how we can attain eternal life, but also that believing in the Creator Himself is the Creator's command.

This command, like any command, is that those who obey will receive the blessing of the Creator, and those who do not obey will be punished by the Creator.

At the same time, there is another prerequisite for eternal life for the incarnate Creator, which is repentance.

"It is impossible to believe without repentance, which is the preparation to change from evil to good.

"I don't realize that all my previous words and actions are against the Creator's sin, and I don't have the motive to turn to the Creator God.

"A man named John, a contemporary of my patriarch Paul, also wrote a book about the good news, and he should have been best aware of the Creator's promise of eternal life.

Therefore, in an epistle to his brothers in Christ, he emphasized to them: 'What the Lord has promised us is eternal life. ’

Why did John emphasize the Creator's promise of eternal life?

I understand that eternal life is the core and foundation of all promises.

We know that man is the spirit of creation, and that the purpose of the Creator is to have him in charge of all things and to fulfill his mission of glorifying the Creator.

"This mission cannot be accomplished without eternal life.

At the same time, if there is no eternal life as a foundation, all other things will lose their successors, and accordingly lose the meaning of their creation and existence.

Thus, the Creator's promise of eternal life is an aspect of the Creator's will and plan.

This documented promise, like any other command and requirement, makes the Creator's mind known to those who love it.

On the other hand, since eternal life is a promise from the Creator, there is a waiting process.

"Waiting for what? waiting for the fulfillment of the Creator's promise of eternal life.

This process of realization is the process by which we work with the Lord to train our eternal life.

It is also the process by which we come to know the Creator and understand the nature of our eternal life.

"Dear students, through the above discussion, we can have a general and preliminary understanding of eternal life.

In a nutshell, eternal life is the knowledge of the living Creator, the obedience to the Creator's commands for eternal life, and the becoming a new human being like the incarnate Creator.

It is also our hope that the Creator's promise of eternal life will finally be fulfilled in us in the process of continuous sanctification.

The promises of the Creator, our hopes, form the content of the believer's faith in eternal life. ”

At this point, Paul kept his mouth shut.

"Finished?"

Wen Ren asked strangely.

"It's over. ”

Paul III replied.

If you listen carefully, think well, and do not have an attitude of opposition in your heart, you should have a comprehensive understanding of why there is eternal life and what eternal life is.

As for further deepening and how to integrate with one's own life, this is a matter of further study and action, but the phased task should be regarded as the completion of Mr. Paul, and everyone should be regarded as having completed the process of education.

As a leader who controls the overall situation, he has to make arrangements.

At the same time, we would like to ask Mr. Paul to continue to tell us about the next step, that is, how to get eternal life, please applaud and thank the teacher for his lessons so far and welcome the teacher to start a new class!"

"Boom......" applause thunder!

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion!
