Save the whole world through the fragrance of Zion

"I'm sorry." "It is my fault." are Heavenly words. According to the bible, we can learn Heavenly nature. As you can learn the life of the early church's saints who lives a life of sinners, World Mission Society Church of God's preaching is true, and moreover their deeds are good in the people's eyes.

The Early Church's saints who lived a life of sinners

 Acts 2:38-47 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. … "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

 It is written that the saints of the Early Church were favored by all the people. If they had only preached the truth of the Bible, they would not have been praised by the Gentiles. What they were preaching was true, and moreover their deeds were good in the people's eyes.

 Then, would there be no conflict when they continued daily to meet together?
 Though a man and a woman are in love with each other, when they unite in marriage and continue to see every day, they come to find fault with each other and become indifferent and consequently injured. But the Early Church's saints could continue to meet together every day with glad and sincere hearts. There was something to make them united with joy. Of course, there was the help of the Holy Spirit, but the greatest one among various factors was that all of them realized they were sinners.

 The Early Church was in the world of sinners. As sinners, the saints laid the blame on themselves and apologized to each other, trying to mending their own ways.
 By doing that, they could be continually filled with joy. Acknowledging their own infirmities, they corrected mutual shortcomings and guided each other into the right path. That's why they could be continually filled with joy and sincerity every day: They came to get praised by all and the gospel continued to spread and those who were being saved daily increased in number.

Save the whole world through the fragrance of Zion

 We are the people of heaven. So we should properly use the heavenly words-'I am sorry,' 'It is my fault.' Let's be worthy of God's children who are praised even by the world-"Whether what they are preaching is true or not, their deeds are good. As the people who believe in God, they are giving a good example to others."
 For this, we should make lots of concession and sometimes suffer a loss.

 But by losing, we can make others gain and give them joy. This is the will of Christ. Thinking deeply once more why Christ said He came not to call the righteous, but sinners, let's try to live as sinners.

 Now, the kingdom of heaven is near. Christ tells us to 'repent' all the more as we see the day approaching. Acknowledging our own mistakes and trying to correct them-this is the attitude of sinners who repent.

 Preaching contains not only proclaiming the word of truth but also following the teachings of Christ. If all the church members live a worthy life of Christians, who will leave such beautiful nest? Living a life of sinners, not of the righteous-this will be a sweet fragrance to lead the whole world to Christ.
 From now on, let's try to be accustomed to the heavenly words.
 "I'm sorry." "It is my fault."
 The more we use these words, the more we will seek the lost people of heaven; and the kingdom of heaven will come more swiftly.
