According to him hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world

  According to him hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world   When we ask the question of why God chose Christ before the creation of the world, most churches say, "Because God is omnipotent, God knows everything. After the creation of heaven and earth, Adam and Eve fell into Satan's temptation and fell into sin. People say, "Because the world will fall and become evil and eventually reach a state where God will have no choice but to destroy the world, God knows everything and predestined before the foundation of the world to save only the chosen ones in Christ." In order to fully understand that God predestined Christ before the creation of the world, the saints must read in John 6:63,  “ It is the spirit that quickeneth; Sainys must understand well the words,  “ the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ” Jesus came to save dead spirits. The people of the world are based on the body, but Jesus ...

Healing the paralytic

Healing the paralytic   In Mark 2:3-12, we see Jesus healing a paralytic patient. However, Jesus said to the patient,  “ When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. ”  And then, in chapter 2 verses 9-12,  “ Whether it is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 』 In Luke 5:21,  “ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? The thought is,  “ Who can forgive sins, but God alone? ”  Jesus said to the paralytic,  “ t...

Sword and garment

   Sword and garment   Luke 22:35-38  『 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 』 This is the last conversation Jesus had with his disciples in the upper room. Also, Matthew, Mark, and John did not record this conversation, and only Luke gives us Jesus' final teachings. Jesus told his disciples to take care of their backpacks, purses, and swords, and the disciples responded,  “ Yes, I have two swords here. ”  So Jesus said,  “ Enough is enough. ” Luke's record, consi...
