1 Corinthians Seen from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Jesus Became the Christ for Us The Son of God, Jesus, became the Christ for you and me. The word “Christ” has the meaning of being anointed by God. In the Old Testament era, those who were anointed were when establishing a king, establishing a prophet, and establishing a high priest. Oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit and is poured upon them. Jesus received baptism from John to have the sins of the wo...

Not by the Wisdom of Words but by the Power of God The Apostle Paul says that when he preached the testimony of the gospel word of God, he did not preach with his own wisdom like the words of a philosopher. He declared that while he was in Corinth, he determined not to know anything except Jesus Christ and His being crucified on the cross. Also, he spoke like this: “My speech and my preaching were...

With the Gospel of Water and the Spirit, Not with the Wisdom of Words The Apostle Paul tells us about the situation when he preached the gospel in the city of Corinth, and how he preached the gospel to that church. He records that when he testified the gospel of Jesus Christ to the souls in Corinth, he did not do it with fluent speech or human wisdom. The Apostle Paul was a man who received the hi...

In the Autumn Scenery Because the chestnut tree is by the river, it is so picturesque. If only the full moon rises behind the chestnut tree, it is completely autumn. There was a chestnut tree behind the house where I used to live, and I remember those times. When autumn comes, if you go up the mountain with a long pole and shake the chestnut tree that ripened first, the chestnut burrs fall. I used...

Those who are divided into “I am on Apollos’ side” and “I am on Paul’s side” Apostle Paul said that there are carnal Christians, and he stated that he treats them like spiritual infants. The reason is that they try to live by drawing church leaders to their own side. “I am on Apollos’ side,” “I am on Paul’s side,” “I am on Cephas’ side”—by setting the boundaries of their own sides like this, they...

We are those entrusted with the mysteries of God Apostle Paul said, “Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God” (1 Corinthians 4:1). This is truly a passage where we can know the heart of Apostle Paul. Do the saints really consider the apostles as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God? Paul is commanding them to consider him as a servant...

Consider us as workers of Christ Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians chapter 4. In verse 1, he said, “Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). All the words that Apostle Paul spoke to us are deeply meaningful words. There is not a single or...

The Corinthian church was a church that had many problems Today, I intend to preach the word from 1 Corinthians chapter 4, verses 14 to 21. Apostle Paul said he gives exhortation to the saints of the church in Corinth. Among the epistles of Apostle Paul, the Corinthian church was the church with the most problems. Among the churches Paul established, it was the church that had the most problems. I...

Beloved saints, today through the words of 1 Corinthians 5, we are going to deeply examine how we should view and how we should handle sin inside the church. This word does not simply deal with moral issues, but it is a word that clearly shows where the difference lies between a church that knows the gospel of the water and the Spirit and a church that does not know it. Inside the Corinthian churc...

Beloved saints, today through the word of 1 Corinthians 6, we are going to deeply examine what kind of being a saved saint is, and why their life must change.

First, Paul points out the problem that existed within the Corinthian...

Beloved saints, today through the word of 1 Corinthians chapter 7, we are going to look deeply into what kind of life attitude the saved saints should have on this earth. This chapter speaks about marriage and singleness, and life in the world, but at its center, there is one clear standard. It is exactly the life living upon the already completed gospel of salvation. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ ht...

Ahead of the holidays Please spend the holidays well. I hope those who visit their hometowns during the holidays will go and return in peace. I pray that He will protect the vehicles coming and going, and protect you like the apple of His eye from all risks of accidents. We must also pray for this country, asking Him to protect it so that it does not get swept up in a war. Because if a war breaks...

Apostle Paul who became a servant to all men Apostle Paul is speaking about how he conducted himself in order to win some people. “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law” (1 Corinthians 9...

Beloved saints, today, through the word of 1 Corinthians 10, we will deeply examine how those who have received salvation should live, and why one can fall even while knowing the gospel word of the water and the Spirit. This word is not a simple warning, but a word that clearly shows the discernment that those who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit must possess. https://www.bjnewlif...

Beloved saints, today through the words of 1 Corinthians 11, we are going to deeply examine the meaning of order, authority, and the true Holy Communion from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit.

Beloved saints, today through the words of 1 Corinthians 12, we will deeply examine the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the essence of the church, and the meaning of a one-body community from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. This word does not simply explain the types of gifts, but clearly shows how the Holy Spirit works and forms the church within those who believe in the gosp...

It says that if there is no love, it is nothing The Apostle Paul said, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow...

Beloved saints, today, through the word of 1 Corinthians chapter 14, we intend to look deeply into the use of gifts, the order of the church, and what a gospel-centered community is from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit.

Resurrection Sunday on a Spring Day Have you been at peace? It has been a long time since I saw you. The weather is becoming spring weather. As spring comes, it is good that the body does not stiffen, and it is good that all things spring into action; anyway, nature becomes beautiful and renews our hearts. Today is Resurrection Sunday. So we all read together 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the resurrec...

We must believe that there is a resurrection, not the ritual of resurrection This coming Sunday is Resurrection Sunday on the church calendar. We sometimes share food on Resurrection Sunday, but we do not perform any special rituals other than the Holy Communion and Christmas. Usually, generally, when the week of Lent comes, it is called the Passion Week of Jesus, so they recommend temperance, suc...

Flesh and Blood Cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God God said that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. As we live on this earth, there are things we have done well and things we have done poorly with our flesh and blood, but I first give thanks before God that receiving or not receiving the kingdom of God is not based on this. Our God has completely eliminated all the sins of this worl...

The First Worship Service Offered in the New Chapel The Apostle Paul spoke in 1 Corinthians 15, saying that the glory of those who belong to heaven is separate, and the glory of those who belong to the earth is separate. The glory that God has given to me and you is truly the glory that belongs to heaven. God has given us the faith of receiving salvation. I truly give thanks. We have no choice but...

After the Evangelistic Meeting You have worked hard holding the gospel evangelistic meeting for a week. I know we were busy for a week trying to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit for the people of this city.
