Content | Redeem the Time (Ephesians 5:15-21) God lives eternally. He sent His Son into the world (Jn 3:16) so it can gain eternal life (Jn 6:40). He gave mankind and all creation their lives (Heb 9:27). Life quickly fades like passing time (Ecc 1:3-11). Time does not wait for anyone. The flesh is like a candle used for your spirit. If the candle melts down, the flame naturally goes out. As the Lord Jesus shed blood for our spirits (1 Cor 11:23-29) - if anyone has hope in eternal life - they must struggle against unrighteousness until bloodshed (Heb 12:4), redeem the time, and submit to and please God. Eternal life is gained by grace, and rewards are for the flesh’s labor (Heb 11:6). As everyone has each received a talent, (Mt 25:14-30) they must do their work and finally be martyred (Rev 20:4-6). Do not belong to the world and be foolish (Jn 8:44-45), but understand what the Lord’s will is (Rom 12:2). Belong to God, do not forget holiness, (1 Pet 1:15-16) and be guided by the Holy Spirit (Jn 3:8). 〇 God’s command is given to the church. Obeying and submitting to each other in church is holiness. Our brothers and sisters are like the Lord’s commands. 〇 If you obsess about worldly things and cannot live by grace, your time will end on a day you do not know. Let’s be humble, godly and wait for eternal life. 〇Hearing the Lord’s word is faith. Religious people are not born again and heap their virtue, but they cannot be comforted on the day of eternal life. ※ Do not blame the times, which flee like the wind. You must live by the Holy Spirit and be spiritual. Let’s all keep faithfulness like “a Pine, Bamboo and Rock”. |
