The most important thing in the world. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]


Saving the one who is in front of me right now, whoever the person is, is the most important thing in the world. If we give love and kindness to the one who is in front of me now?the most important person to me?and lead him or her to salvation and fill his or her heart with an eternal hope for heaven, there is no greater and more beautiful love than this in the world.

To put it plainly, it is "preaching"?the task of saving the souls, who are dying due to sin, through God's words of life. To seek and save the lost, God, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords, came to this earth.

Now we have been entrusted with the most important task which the Most Holy One did when He came to this earth. Not everyone has been given this precious task; God has entrusted it only to those whom He approves and loves (1 Th 2:4).

Though it may be difficult to save one soul by giving God's love to him, it is the most valuable thing. So Apostle Paul considered it to be the noblest thing and said he was in chains for that work (Phil 3:8; Eph 6:20). Like him, we should put our hearts and minds into the work of saving mankind which our Father and Mother have been doing, so They will be greatly pleased.

2 Ti 4:1-8, 17-18『In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage?with great patience and careful instruction . . . But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day?and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing . . . But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it . . .』

To be prepared in season and out of season means to do it right now. The Bible teaches that now is the most suitable time and we should always do the work of an evangelist and discharge all the duties of our ministry. This is the most meaningful and worthwhile work in the world.

Think of Apostle Paul who looked forward to the crown of righteousness at the end of his life without any regret and ran into the arms of God! What a wonderful life! Like Paul, we too should live such a wonderful life. Everything in the world is transient, but the things of the kingdom of God are eternal. Thinking of the everlasting joy in the eternal world, let us keep our faith and fulfill our duties as evangelists.
