What Is the Greatest Wisdom That Mankind Should Have That Solomon Wrote in the Book of Ecclesiastes? After enjoying all things that people of the world desired, Solomon ultimately came to the conclusion that everything on this earth is meaningless, a chasing after the wind, and that mankind must fear God and obey His word in order to receive blessings. Why Is the Church of God Standing Out in the World Today? God blesses those who keep His commands, and sets them high above all the nations. Just as King Hezekiah and Josiah of southern Judah were blessed for obeying God’s word, the Church of God is praised and exalted all over the world as a result of putting into practice the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: . . . Deuteronomy 28:1–2

The World Mission Society Church of God in Cranford, NJ is celebrating one year of being open as a warm and inviting church for families to gather together.  The Church of God shares the love of God in over 175 countries. Today we celebrate our one-year anniversary through this harmony of hope concert.  There was a beautiful choir and orchestra ensemble, and members of the church shared their experience being a member at the Church of God in comparison with other churches, having the hope for eternal life, and a deeper understanding of the Bible and of God. The Church of God is family-oriented and puts into practice the teachings of Mother, sharing Mother's love with their neighbors, friends, and at home with their own families as well. 

The devil tries to obscure our minds so that we cannot come to God. He also tries to deceive the world by changing God’s law in order to destroy the truth. Nevertheless, today, Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother will defeat the devil and save Their children with the mighty name just as it is prophesied in the Bible.

God says that those who disobey cannot enter His rest. It means that those who do not obey God’s word can never enter the kingdom of heaven. God is our spiritual Father and Mother who grants mankind a happy future. That is why the Bible teaches us that the fear of God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, who came to save mankind in the age of the Holy Spirit, is the knowledge that leads to salvation.

We can confirm through the history written in the Bible that in any age and in any place, blessing came upon those who live according to God’s word, whereas misfortune came upon those who fail to live according to God’s word no matter how glorious their position was. Realizing that the earth is a world that is fulfilled according to God’s word because it was created with the word of God, the members of the Church of God always live a life of joy and thanksgiving according to the word of God.

The most optimal happiness on the earth is given when we live according to God’s word. Two thousand years ago, the robber and the paralyzed man who were saved by Jesus’ words were blessed. In the same way, today, those who receive the guidance from Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, who have come as the Spirit and the Bride, are the most blessed people whose happiness is guaranteed in the present and in the future.

When we look at all creation, we can see the will of God. Birds in the sky, fish in the water, animals on the ground, humans the lord of all creation . . . All living things inherit life from their fathers and mothers. What is God’s will contained in the providence of life? You will find the answer through this seminar.

We hear the news of countless disasters from all over the world. Is there a safe place where we can escape disasters? God has revealed the place where disasters pass over, in each age. In the time of Noah, the place of salvation was the ark. In the time of Lot, the place of salvation was the city of Zoar. Where is God’s appointed place for us to escape disasters in this age?

The Sin of Adam and Eve Originated From Forgetting God’s Law Just as Adam and Eve sinned because they forgot God’s law, “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” whenever we forget God’s law, we commit sin and receive disasters. Even in this age, God says that the last disaster will come because the world has forgotten God’s law—the Sabbath day and the Passover of the new covenant, and does not keep them. It Is God Ahnsahnghong Who Commands Us to Keep the New Covenant, the Sabbath Day, and the Passover Human beings are souls [angels] who sinned in heaven and were cast down to this earth. They can return to heaven only when they obey God’s word while they live on this earth. Just as King Hezekiah received blessings by keeping the law [the Passover] according to God’s word, the Church of God obey God’s will by keeping God’s law—the new covenant. Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Deuteronomy 8:11 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and . . . perform many miracles?’ . . . ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ ” Matthew 7:21–23
