When you find the Book of Life, you find the true God of life and through His Word eternal life. The holy Book of Life is the Bible. The Bible contains the truth and life of God. But it’s up to the people what they do with it. What happens when you find the Book of Life?
What is the origin of the Book of Life?
The Book of Life originates from the one and only true Almighty God, Who is the Giver of life and created out of nothing, the heaven and the earth and all there is within through the Word and the Spirit.
All life and everything you see around you have its origin in God, and the proof of the Father’s existence is revealed through the witness of His Word and Spirit.
The Word of life and the holy Spirit of life represent the Father and the Law of the Spirit of life, and proclaim His words and do His will.
The holy Bible is the Book of Life
In the holy Bible, you’ll find the life. Every word in the Bible is given by inspiration of God through the Holy Spirit, and quickens and brings forth holy lives and good works to everyone that believes, and therefore does what the Word says.
Because it is written in 2 ทิโมธี 3:16, that all scripture, which means every word in the Bible, is profitable for doctrine, สำหรับการชดใช้, สำหรับการแก้ไข, สำหรับการสอนในความชอบธรรม, so that the man of God may be perfect, ได้รับการตกแต่งอย่างดีสำหรับการทำงานที่ดีทั้งหมด.
ดังนั้น, it’s important that Christians know the Word, and that the Word of God is the final authority in their lives, and that they hold forth the Word of life unto the end.
อัน lack of knowledge of the Word of life leads to lacking Christians that are not steadfast but are tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine and remain spiritual babies that always need attention and care, และ, ตามคำ, will be destroyed (โฮเชยา 4:6).
If the Word of God is not the final authority in the lives of Christians, it leads to licentious lives full of sin.
ทำทุกอย่างโดยไม่บ่นและโต้เถียงกัน: เพื่อว่าท่านจะปราศจากตำหนิและไม่มีอันตราย, บุตรของพระเจ้า, โดยไม่มีการตำหนิ, ท่ามกลางประชาชาติที่คดโกงและวิปริต, ในหมู่พวกเขาท่านทั้งหลายส่องสว่างดุจดวงสว่างในโลก; ยึดมั่นในพระคำแห่งชีวิต; เพื่อข้าพเจ้าจะได้ชื่นชมยินดีในวันของพระคริสต์, ว่าฉันไม่ได้วิ่งไปเปล่าๆ, และไม่ได้ทำงานอย่างไร้ประโยชน์ (ฟีลิปปี 2:14-16)
What happens when you find the Book of Life?
When you find the Book of Life, คุณสามารถทำสองสิ่งได้:
You believe that the Book of Life originates from God and is the truth and believe in the Son and His finished redemptive work and His blood, and you กลับใจ, เป็น รับบัพติศมาในน้ำ, and receive the บัพติศมาด้วยพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ and live as the new creation in submission and obedience to the Word in the light in righteousness.
You don’t believe that the Book originates from God, but consider it a lie and don’t believe in the Son and His redemptive work, and reject the Word, and continue your carnal life as the การสร้างเก่า in darkness and keep living in sin.
The result of finding the Book of Life in the life of King Josiah
In the life of King Josiah, finding the Book of Life brought forth a change and sanctified lives of people.
When Hilkia, มหาปุโรหิต, found the Book of the Law of the Covenant and gave the Book to Shafan the scribe, and Shafan read the words of the Book of the Law of Moses to King Josiah, Josiah didn’t become angry or offended by the righteous and judging words of God, which were hard to hear.
Neither did King Josiah destroy the Book in the fire, as his son had done to the words of God. But the words of God from the Book of the Law of the Covenant brought him to repentance (โอ้. 2 คิงส์ 22, 23; เยเรมีย์ 36).
King Josiah received the words of God in his heart. The words of God didn’t only cause repentance, but the words of God also led to a massive cleansing in the land, วัด (บ้านของพระเจ้า), and the lives of people, from all idolatry, pagan influences, และ (ทางเพศ) uncleanness that entered the land through infidelity and adultery of the kings, นักบวช, elders and people of the house of Israel and Judah with the pagan nations, entered the land and God’s house.
The words of God in the lives of the humble vs the pride
That was the result of the words of God in the life of King Josiah, and that is still the result of the words of God in the lives of people that are ถ่อมตน and acknowledge God as Lord and believe in His Son and submit to Him, และด้วยเหตุนั้น, obey the words that are written in the Book of Life.
Because the words of God are still Spirit and life and bring forth holy lives and righteous work and eternal life.
อย่างไรก็ตาม, the people with an unbelieving heart that are full of pride and rebellious and belong to the world and love the world shall reject the words of God.
ทำไม? Because the words of God reveal sin and condemn the works of the flesh, which the old man loves so much, and reveal where the road of the carnal flesh leads to. And that’s something carnal people don’t want to hear.
They don’t want any inference from God, but they want to live their own lives with the will of the flesh as the captain of their lives.
ด้วยเหตุผลนั้น, Bibles remain closed, and another gospel of the senses with motivational self-help sermons and the associated experiences is preached that please, จัดเตรียม, and enforce the will, ความรู้สึก, ตัณหา, and desires of the flesh of man.
สำหรับทุกสิ่งที่อยู่ในโลก, ความต้องการของเนื้อหนัง, และความปรารถนาของดวงตา, และความภาคภูมิใจของชีวิต, ไม่ใช่ของพ่อ, แต่ของโลก. และโลกก็ดับไป, และความต้องการทางเพศของมัน: แต่ผู้ที่ปฏิบัติตามพระประสงค์ของพระเจ้าจะดำรงอยู่เป็นนิตย์ (1 จอห์น 2:16-17)
The preaching of another gospel that promotes ungodly lives full of sin
อย่างไรก็ตาม, this other gospel doesn’t produce changed lives and righteous works, as the true gospel of Jesus Christ does, but unchanged lives in sin.
These words of man don’t originate from the Well of Life. ดังนั้น, they don’t bring forth faith in God, loyalty, ความศักดิ์สิทธิ์, ความสงบ, ความสุข, ความสามัคคี, courageous soldiers and victors (over sin and the works of darkness), but they bring forth doubt, ความไม่เชื่อ, ตัณหา, การนอกใจ, ความไม่พอใจ, ความวิตกกังวล, ภาวะซึมเศร้า, ความบาดหมาง, ความหึงหวง, ความโกรธ, iniquity and victims (of sin and the works of darkness), and ungodly lives.
ศึกษาเพื่อแสดงว่าคุณเป็นที่ยอมรับต่อพระเจ้า, a workman that needech not to be ashamed, แบ่งพระวจนะแห่งความจริงอย่างถูกต้อง. But shun profane and vain babbling: เพราะพวกเขาจะยิ่งมีความอธรรมมากขึ้น (2 ทิโมธี 2:15-16)
The deceiving words of carnal preachers fuel wickedness in the church and produce corrupt lives
How many times do church visitors say that they can’t help it, เพราะพวกเขา live in a fallen world and are born that way and remain sinners?
This lie has been preached, เชื่อ, and passed on from generation to generation, whereby people still believe this lie of the devil and keep living in this lie and keep doing the works of the sinful flesh and participate in the works of darkness.
The vain words of carnal preachers and this lie led to (ทางเพศ) uncleanness and broken relationships, broken marriages, ครอบครัวที่แตกสลาย, in short, broken lives.
Broken lives, that didn’t have to be broken if they believed God and obeyed His words in the Bible and followed His words in their lives.
พระเจ้าประทานพระคำของพระองค์ด้วยความรัก
It was not for nothing that God sent His Word. God gave His Word out of love for humankind to awaken the generation of fallen man and redeem them from the power of the devil and darkness. Because as long as people keep sinning, they are not redeemed and free but are still prisoners and bound.
And such an imprisoned and bound generation raises the next generation that deviates even more from the truth of God and acts more wickedly than the previous generation.
We live in such a generation wherein the people perverted the gospel of Christ and adhere to another vain gospel and think through humanism that they live a good life, while in reality the apostasy is enormous.
This can be seen through the evil works (บาป) in the lives of church visitors that are no different from the lives of people that belong to the world and walk in darkness.
The words of God in the Bible are not read, understood, and not displayed correctly. แทน, the words in the Bible are interpreted from a prideful human mind and taken out of context and used for the will and lust of the flesh.
Just like the devil tried to tempt Jesus with the words of God by using His words for the flesh. อย่างไรก็ตาม, Jesus knew the Father and His will and was lead by the Holy Spirit and perceived the wickedness and deception of the devil and defeated the devil with the truth of God’s Word.
ดังนั้น, submit yourself unto Jesus Christ and the Father and follow and obey the words of God and bring the words of God to life in your life.
Obey the words in the Book of Life, so that your name will be written in the Book of Life of the Lamb
โดยศรัทธา, ที่ การเกิดใหม่, and obedience to the words and commandments of God that are written in the Book of Life and by your righteous works that derive thereof, your name shall be written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
