Those Who Are in God’s Hand Can Become the Protagonists of Great Work Just as God used a shepherd’s staff to divide the Red Sea and to make springs of water flow from a rock, whatever is in God’s hand always exerts great power. Today, the Church of God, which has received the mission to preach the gospel in Samaria and to the ends of the earth, is accomplishing the worldwide gospel through God’s power, not merely by individual effort. The Standard That God Chooses Is Not Ability, But Complete Faith in God Like Samson who defeated a thousand Philistines with a jawbone of a donkey, like the young boy David who fought against the giant Goliath, and like Peter, John, and James who were fishermen, in this age, those who believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother and hope for the kingdom of heaven are making great history. Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. . . . so that no one may boast before him. 1 Corinthians 1:26–29

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness . . .’ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them”Ge 1:26–27 Through male and female who were created in the image of God, we can understand that there are God the Father and God the Mother. The book of Revelation prophesies that God the Father and Mother started to create things together, and will also finish the creation together. “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life”Ge 1:26–27 But people who do not understand the providence of salvation say that Mary is the Bride. Is the Virgin Mary the Bride? The Virgin Mary cannot be the Bride. It is because the Bride is the Wife of Jesus. “ ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’ ”Rev 21:9 So, it is not biblical to say the Bride [Wife of Jesus] is Virgin Mary. Are the saints the Bride? Saints cannot be the Bride. It is because the Bride is God who gives us the water of life. “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” The Bible never says that the saints give the water of life”Rev 22:17 The Bible says that only God the Savior can give us the water of life. In the Age of the Father, Jehovah the Savior gave the water of life. “ ‘My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me [Jehovah], the spring of living water . . .’ ”Jer 2:13 In the Age of the Son, Jesus the Savior gave the water of life. “ ‘. . . the water I [Jesus] give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’ ”John 4:14 And in the Age of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit and the Bride the Saviors give the water of life. Therefore, the Holy Spirit and the Bride, who give us the water of life in the Age of the Holy Spirit, are God. “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life”Rev 22:17 The Holy Spirit and the Bride are God the Father and God the Mother.

The established churches that disobey the teachings of the Bible slander the Church of God that obey the words of the Bible and Christ who has come a second time. Sometimes, they use the words of the Bible to hinder the faith of God’s people. One of the cases is to use the words of Matthew 24 about Jesus’ second coming. When Jesus talked about His second coming with His disciples, He said, “They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky,with power and great glory.” (Mt 24:30) The established churches use this verse to insist that Christ will not come in the flesh silently because the Bible says that He will come with great glory. Is the glory that the Bible says the same with the glory they think? Through Jesus’ first coming, let’s find out that the glory of Christ that the Bible says differs from the glory that they think. “And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it . . .See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him.”Isa 40:5–10 If this prophecy is interpreted as established churches do, God must appear with visible glory. This prophecy, however, was fulfilled as Jesus was born in a humble stall. (Lk 2:4–7) No glory was found by men in His appearance. (Lk 2:4–7) Since Jesus did not look glorious in the eyes of men, is He not Christ? At His first coming and second coming as well, Christ came with glory in the clouds according to the prophecy of the Bible. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (Jn 1:14​) When the glory of Christ appears, those who can recognize His glory are only the saints who receive Him. It is because Christ comes and lives in commonness just like us. Only those who will be saved can recognize the glory of Christ. We ought to give thanks to God for giving us the special grace to recognize the glory of Christ. Let us keep the faith to the end to receive the crown of life.

Before space science was developed, some people regarded the Bible as mythology. However, today, science proves that the Bible is true. Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came to the earth a second time, taught us that the Bible is the only book leading us to salvation. 3,500 years ago, the concept of the universe in the Bronze Age was far from the truth. People could not even imagine the earth being suspended in space. However, in the book of Job, written 3,500 years ago in the Bronze Age, the knowledge of modern astronomy was already recorded. The Bible depicts the earth as if it took a picture from a satellite. The book of Job was written 3,500 years ago in the Bronze Age. Surprisingly, the knowledge of modern astronomy was recorded in the book of Job, written in the Bronze Age. In this modern age, it’s a well-known fact that the earth floats in space. But was it also common knowledge in the Bronze Age? However, as science developed, it proved that the records of the Bible were true. Some of the greatest scientists in history were absolutely convinced that God exists, and that the Bible was true. We hope you will surely believe the existence of God and the factuality of the Bible, through the words of life preached in the World Mission Society Church of God.

The Bible warns us that we will be destroyed if we make the cross and worship it. “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.”Ex 20:4 Most churches have the cross as a symbol of Christianity. However, the early Church did not use the cross as a symbol of Christianity. In the times of early Church, the cross was an execution tool for criminals on death row. “For the early Christians, surrounded by crucifixion as a grim fact of common experience, there was no danger of beautifying the cross by sentiment.”- Baker’s Dictionary of Theology - Originally, the cross was an idol symbolizing paganism. “Cross forms were used as symbols, religious or otherwise, long before the Christian Era . . .”- Encyclopedia Britannica - “The public use of the cross was adopted by the Christians as a symbol at the time of Constantine.”- Baker’s Dictionary of Theology - The Christian church accepted the cross, the symbol of paganism. When people made a symbol of paganism and worship it, they were destroyed. “. . . worshiped Asherah poles and idols. Because of their guilt, God’s anger came upon Judah and Jerusalem.”2 Ch 24:18 Then, why did the Israelites worship idols even though they knew that worshiping idols lead them to destruction? That was because they were deceived by idolaters. (2 Ki 12:28) Idolaters deceived the Israelites to believe that the idol of Egypt was God, and incited them to worship the idol. Even today, idolaters deceive people to believe that the cross is a symbol of Christianity and a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice so that they can worship the cross, an idol. “When you prostrate yourself, therefore, in adoration of an image, whether you suppose it to represent God, or a creature, you are already fascinated with superstition.”John Calvin (Founder of the Presbyterian church),Institutes of the Christian Religion “Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol—a thing detestable to the LORD, the work of the craftsman’s hands—and sets it up in secret.”Dt 27:15 Those who make the cross and worship it will be destroyed. (Rev 21:8) Believe the new covenant that was established by Christ, and be saved by participating in the blood of Christ. (Eph 1:7)
