True Logic about God and the Bible (Shincheonji Bible Study)
Through the Bible, there are
three things that God makes known to us: God, the devil and people. More specifically,
God’s painful history, His heart, character and teachings, the identity of the devil
and the war between them, and God’s will for the salvation of humanity. Through
the Bible, God is now making known to us the work He has been doing throughout
the last 6000 years in every generation, all the promises He has made to His
people and the blessings for those who keep them.
In order to perceive these things,
we must first understand the logic of the relationship between God and the
devil. Like God, the devil is spirit and invisible to the naked eye. The same
spirit that worked to deceive Adam and Eve 6000 years ago has continue to work
through the people who rightfully belong to God up until today. Through any
means possible, the devil prevents people from listening to and believing in
God’s word. In fact, it is specifically through believers in the Bible today - Christians
- where the devil is most strongly at work. It is no exaggeration to say that
the Christian world is in a state of great confusion over the correct meaning of
the Bible.
Because God is the word (John
1:1), His spirit will dwell in the heart of a person who has a correct
understanding of the word. Even though someone without the word may claim to be
alive, he or she is, in reality, dead, because only God (the word) has life that
can save us from death. This is why Jesus told Martha that the one who believes
in him will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives by believing in him
will never die (John 11:25-26). In other words, there are some people whose flesh
is dead but are spiritually awake, and others whose flesh is living yet are spiritually
asleep.
It is only through a correct understanding
of this word - which God desires for all people – that we can understand why He
sacrificed His one and only son, Jesus Christ, on a cross, and why He has given
us Revelation at this appointed time. Through a correct understanding of the
word, we can say “Oh, this is why God and Jesus said this or that”. This is
logic.
