Colossians 3:18-25

(Colossians 3:18-25)

"Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men" means that believers do what they do, whatever they do, not to man, but to the Lord. Because it has to do with saving the spirit. Christians are not human servants, but Christ's servants. 『lest they be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh 』

This means that the slaves at that time were enshrined in the flesh. But in these words it means that their spirit is saved and their spiritual status is a child of God. They are already spiritually free, not slaves. If you are a spiritual free man, you can do it to your physical master. Spiritual status is more important.

Christians are only Jesus' servants. So, we call Jesus Lord. In Romans 1:1, 『Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God』 Not only the apostle Paul, the saints are all servants of Christ in the Lord. In 1 Corinthians 7:22, 『For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.』 Even though the saint is a servant of Jesus, he is a free man who cannot be bound by anyone. Because God bought it for the blood of Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 7:23 『Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. He said in Galatians 5:1. 『Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

『And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons』

The Bible says to be a fearful heart. Matthew 10:28 『And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 』The Bible says, "Whoever fears only God will not fear the world." God is spirit. God is Almighty God who knows everything. So the born again is at the right hand of God in Christ. Those who are in Christ become those who deny themselves and become the hearts of the spirit. The heart of the spirit does not want to be eager to do it with any heart, but the nature of the flesh, when the old man dies, everything is done with the heart of the Holy Spirit, led by the Holy Spirit.

Colossians 3:1-4

(Colossians 3:1-4) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 『 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, ” To die is buried with Christ. So, God resurrects the dead with Christ. 『 By resurrection, we are born again. 』 Through the resurrection of Jesus, those who believe are also born again. Many church people think of regeneration as a mental action. So they think they have to do something hard to reach the holy state. If you think so, you will only build up your own righteousness. However, being born again refers to the spiritual body that was received as a parent and crucified with Jesus on the cross and reborn from heaven. Being born again means a spiritual body. This ...

Colossians 1:13-14

  (Colossians 1:13-14) 『 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 』 Salvation is the favor to come from dark power. The Hebrew people were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt. They lived as slaves. We are also slaves to the world before we are saved. If we are in darkness, we cannot escape from the world. If we are in darkness, we are slaves to the world to live. That are bound by the power of darkness. Those who are in darkness come to church and worship hard, but nothing has changed. Many church members today are bound by the power of darkness, but they think they are in bright light. Rather, they pray for God to help them live well in the world. God told Moses to let my people worship. The reason God created man was not to work, but to worship. Today, however, attention is focused on the things of this world rather than worship. All attention ...

Colossians 2:8-12

(Colossians 2:8-12) 『 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 』 Here, philosophy does not mean the philosophy of the world, but the idea of the law of the Jews. At the time the Apostle Paul was active, the Jews had three Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes, which they claim. The apostle Paul said these are "philosophy, vain deception, human inheritance, and the world's elementary school." The inheritance of man means the inheritance of eld...
