When God reveal your sin, don't turn away

God is revealing my sins, my wickness.
I have not yet received the Word of God with faith.
But I think knowing that you are not saved is blessing since now you can run to God.
I really wanted to turn away when God revealed my sins.
I just wanted to quit. I just wanted to say I'm right and He is wrong.
But the Word of God still convicted me. I'm a sinner.
When this fact comes to my heart, and I believe it, I would not be able to live just as world does.
I will not be okay to just say I'm Sunday Christian or I'm lukewarm believer.
I will not stand here. I will run to the Cross that Jesus Christ died for my sin.
Because there is no other way to God except through Him.
Saying that I can meet God and that I believe God without passing through it was a lie.
Yes, one time Holy Spirit revealed my sins and I wept.
But I realized emotion can't save me.
What could save me is believing that I'm the sinner who is spritually dead by sin, and go to the Cross and believe I'm dead with Jesus Christ.
There is no resurrection without the Cross. You can't resurrect when you never died.
So that's why it's so important that when God reveal your sin, don't turn away and accept that fact and believe it.
Believe that you died with Him and then you can live with Jesus Christ.
I pray that I would be the one who takes the chance of meeting Jesus like Bartimaus.
Jesus is passing by, and later He will come as the Judge, and then, there is judgement, no forgiveness to the ones that despised God by rejecting God's love: Jesus Christ.
Let us cry out to God: "Jesus, Son of David. Come and save me!"
Even world say it's stupid and Satan say that God won't hear you,
Let us cry out to Jesus our savior: "Jesus, Son of David. Have mercy on me!"
God listens, He will not turn away from those believes that He is Savior and Lord and seeks Him.
READ Romans 6. It has why you need to believe you died with Jesus to be resurrected with Jesus.

[Scrap] True Repentence

This is from Pastor John MacArthur's article.

=====================================================

John MacArthur 목사님의 article 에서 발췌한 내용입니다.
내 안에 진정한 회개가 있는지, 확인하게 되네요..


Repentance is not merely behavior reform. But because true repentance involves a change of heart and purpose, it inevitably results in a change of behavior…

Like faith, repentance has intellectual, emotional, and volitional ramifications…

Intellectual element of repentance: “a change of view, a recognition of sin as involving personal guilt, defilement, and helplessness.”

Emotional element of repentance: “a change of feeling, manifesting itself in sorrow for sin committed against a holy God.”

Volitional element of repentance: “ a change of purpose, an inward turning away from sin, and a disposition to seek pardon and cleansing.”

Each of those three elements is deficient apart from the others. Repentance is a response of the total person; therefore some speak of it as total surrender.

…..

It is true that sorrow from sin is not repentance. Judas felt remorse, but he didn’t repent (Matt 27:3). Repentance is not just a resolve to do better; everyone who has ever made New Year’s resolutions knows how easily human determination can be broken. Repentance certainly is not penance, an activity performed to try to atone for one’s own sins.

But neither is repentance a solely intellectual issue. Surely even Judas changed his mind; what he didn’t do was turn from his sin and throw himself on the Lord for mercy. Repentance is not just a change of mind; it is a change of heart. It is a spiritual turning, a total about-face. Repentance in the context of new birth means turning from sin to the Savior. It is an inward response, not external activity, but its fruit will be evident in the true believer’s behavior (Luke 3:8).

It has often been said that repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. That coin is called conversion. Repentance turns from sin to Christ, and faith embraces Him as the only hope of salvation and righteousness. Faith and repentance are distinct concepts, but they cannot occur independently of each other… Genuine repentance is always the flip side of faith; and true faith accompanies repentance.

What repentance calls for is not only a "change of mind" but a turning away from the love of sin.

T.C.E. Level 1

Teaching Children Efficiently를 듣고 있다.
처음엔 뭔지도 모르고 교회에서 한다니 영서형 따라 들었다.
그런데 많은 도움이 된다. 주님께서 참석하게 하신 것 같다.
애들을 가르치는 것 뿐 아니라 내가 갖고 있던 질문도 풀어주셨다.
난 다시 또 죄를 지을 때 또 다시 주님께서 나와 함께 하시지 않을까봐
주님께서 나를 떠나실 까봐 너무 불안했었다. 그러나 주님께서는 "글없는책"의 실습을 통해 나에게 알려주셨다. 한번 주님을 영접한 자는 주님께서 떠나지 않으시고 나를 도우사 죄를 짓지 않게 도와 주신다고 하셨다. 그리고 한번 죄를 지으고 그것을 오랬동안 회개하지 않으면 그것을 가지고 계속 나를 마귀가 괴롭히는데 "네가 또 이렇게 죄를 짓는데 어떻게 하나님의 자녀야? 넌 구원 못 받았어."라거나 "네가 예전에 지은 죄 또 한번 지어봐~ 뭐 어때 이미 지은 죄 또 한번 더 지은 것인데"라며 속이려한다. 그러나 우리는 이것을 빨리 주님께 고백하고 그것에서 부터 자유로워 져야한다. 회개하지 않으면 결국 마귀에게 끌려다녀 열매없는 사람이 될 것이다.
또 T.C.E. 강사님의 한분이신 Samuel 목사님이 물으셨다. "죄를 짓고 회개하고 죄를 또 짓고 회개하고 죄를 또 짓고 회개하고 이렇게 하면 어떻게 될까요?" 나는 당연히 잘못된 것이라 생각했다. 그런데 목사님이 "잘못됐다고요? 하지만 여러분. 여러분은 이렇게 살지 않나요?" 그렇게 말하시자 할 말이 없었다. 나도 죄를 계속 짓고 주님께 계속 회개하고 있지 않은가? 물론 목사님은 이것을 이용하여 계속 죄를 지어도 회개하면 상관없겠지란 마음을 먹고 한다면 죄를 지으려는 마음이 있기 때문에 잘못된 거라 말씀하셨다.
또한 인상적이었던 Samuel 목사님의 예화
한 노인이 해변에서불가사리를 하나 하나 주어서 바다에 던지고 있다.
그래서 한 사람이 가서 묻는다 "그렇게 해봤자 몇마리 못 던질텐데요." 그러자 노인이 말한다 "그래요. 나는 몇마리 못 던지지만 이 불가사리들에게는 생명이 달린 것이요"라고.
우리 삶에 우리는 많은 사람들을 만날 것이다. 복음을 전할 기회가 우리에게 와도 우리는 그들에게 복음을 전해줄 수도 있고 안 전할 수도 있다. 그러나 우리는 이것이 그 사람에게는 평생 단 한번오는 복음을 듣는 기회일지도 모른다고 생각하고 전하려고 힘써야한다. 그가 만약 이 기회를 당신이 놓쳐서 그 사람이 구원 못 받고 그냥 그렇게 살다가 지옥에 가게 된다면 하나님은 우리를 엄히 책망하실 것이다.
"내가 너희에게 이르노니 이와 같이 죄인 한 사람이 회개하면 하늘에서는 회개할 것 없는 의인 아흔아홉으로 말미암아 기뻐하는것보다 더하리라"(눅15:7) 이렇듯이 우리는 한 영혼을 주님께로 이끌기를 힘써야한다.
나는 그렇다면 기회가 될때면 다 복음을 전하고 있는가? 아니다. 나는 복음을 제대로 전해 본 적이 없다. 그러나 전하고 싶은 마음이 있다. 이번에 새소식반에 참여하게 될 것 같다. 물론 힘들겠지만 주님께서 함께 하실 것을 구하며 믿기에 이 자리가 은혜의 자리가 되길 원한다.

어라 한국말로 했네;;;
첫 한글 포스트.. ㅎㅎ

My Head Hurts

Whenever I do not follow God's words and follow what I want I get this headache like no other.
Sins. Why I'm commiting them? Why don't I repent?
Doing whatever w/o faith is sin.
From today's QT, God questioned my faith.
Am I really believing God with all my heart?
Answer is no, and I really dislike the fact that it is.
I believe that Jesus would lead me the way to have faith in the Lord.
My God, Savior, Lord, Jesus Christ please save me from these sins.
I repent, I repent. I truly want to repent with all my heart.
Please give me strength so that I may get rid of these sins that keep me away from you.
God thank you for listening to this sinner.
I'm waiting for the day to meet you.
Until then, let me know only you Lord.
Nothing else. Let me only pray for You.
Let me only want you nothing else.
You are my number #1 precious.
You are my number infinite precious.
Nothing else is precious than you, Lord. Amen.
