The New and Living Way - Witness of Ahnsahnghong

1 Peter 1:9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Is not our goal as believers in Christ, to go to heaven? For most of us, it is..But I've asked many Christians these days, what is the way to receive salvation? Some reply by accepting Jesus Christ into your life and by being a good person. Or I've gotten this one a lot lately to -" You just have to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind." Well, these are just opinions and well, man's opinions often dont turn out to be fact. But God's word is fact...Then what is the way to receive this salvation from God's point of view?

Luke 10:25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Luke 10:27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'

Ok, so maybe those people who said you have to love God with all of your heart, knew a little about this commandment. But is it just by saying that we love God with all of our heart? Or is it by doing things that we think would please God instead of what He wants?

1 John 3:18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

wow, couldnt be any clearer than that. God likes action..then what kind of action does God want from us so that we can show him we love him with All of our Heart, all our Soul, all of our Mind and all of our strength. Think about it..when it says All that means, one hundred percent. But how is that possible if we love our spouses, our family, our friends and everything else? But God wouldnt give us a commandment that we could not keep. He left an example of King Josiah in the Bible and acknowledged him as keeping this commandment. What did he do?

2 Kings 23:21The king gave this order to all the people: "Celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant."

2 Kings 23:25Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.

Then all King Josiah did was celebrate the Passover and God said that He loved Him with All of his heart, soul, and mind. Even through the 10 commandments in the old testament we can see that the first commandment is the same.

Exodus 20:3"You shall have no other gods before me.

Then this sounds a little different then loving God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. But what is the way to keep this commandment?

Exodus 12:12"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

Exodus 12:11This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.

On Passover night, God will judge all other God's. Then that means we can only worship God Almighty. Then clearly, only by keeping the Passover can we love God will all of Our hearts and have no other gods before him.. Then who is true God that brought this truth and showed us the correct way to love God with all of our hearts? It is Christ AhnSahngHong. Then why is it so important that we believe in Christ AhnSahngHong and follow this commandment?

Luke 10:28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

If we do, then we can have eternal life! Please study about the truth that Christ AhnSahngHong brought to Church of God World Mission Society so that you can have eternal life.
