2. SALVATIONChapter 3.
Secret of "Sheep & Goat"
Read carefully the following verses, please.
「 When the Son of man shall come in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:And before he shall be gathered all nation:
and he shall separated all nations:
and he shall separate them one from another,
as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
"And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
but the goats on the left."
Then shall the King say unto them on this right hand,
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
…
- ("List of good things" what Sheep did) -
…
Then, Shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:…
- ("List of bad things" what Goats did) - 」
Matthew 25:31-43
Those verses have been used by people
who declare that salvation based on your works.
Sheep did good things that are why they go to Heaven.
Goats did bad things that are why they are thrown into the Lake of Fire.
"Therefore, to go to Heaven, you need to do good things."
Well…
You totally misunderstood.
Have you ever seen any people
who did 100% good things in their life?
Have you ever seen any people
who did 100% bad things in their life?
Listen carefully, please!
There is only one man who lived perfect life in human history.
"Jesus Christ"
And we ALL like:
In terms of Sin, Sheep and Goats are the same.
Sheep go to Heaven.
Goats go to Hell.
Then, Why?
Answer is pretty easy though…
You are not judged by your works!
The criterion for the judgment is
whether it is covered by the Lord's blood or not.
Read carefully, please!
「 There is therefore now "no condemnation to them"
which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death. 」
Rome 8:1-2
"no condemnation to them"
This is the promise of God!
「 Whoever in blood of Jesus Christ,
"never being judged!"
You are free from the law of Sin and Death! 」
01 For Sheep
God does not care about their sins, only cares about
"good things" done on their Judgment.
「 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,
unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered Blessed is the man
to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 」
Rome 4:6-8
Our King made decision not to see the Sins of Sheep
as they are covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ.
02 For Goat
God does not care about their good things done,
only cares about
their sins committed on their Judgment.
Our King sees them as servants of sin
as they are not covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Their shepherd is not Jesus Christ.
If you are not a son of God, you are a son of Satan.
죄 문제가 해결이 되지 않은 이상 이들의 선행은
이들에게 아무 도움이 되지 않았던 것입니다.
애초에 위 성구에서 이들이 왜 "염소"라고 칭해졌는지 생각해 보세요.
이들은 거듭난 적이 없는 마귀의 자식들인 것입니다.
하나님의 자녀가 아니면 마귀의 자녀입니다.
“중간은 없는 것입니다.”
"여러분"
죄 한톨이라도 남아있으면 지옥을 갑니다.
아무리 선행을 많이해도 깜빡 잊고 회개 안한 죄 한 톨 때문에
지옥을 가게 되는 것이죠.
하지만, 문제는 이것이 아닙니다.
처음에 말씀드렸듯이 이들은
악행이나 죄의 회개가 부족해서 지옥을 가는 것이 아닙니다.
이들은 선행을 해야할 때 안해서 지옥을 가는 것입니다.
죄의 회개와 선한 행실로 천국을 가고자 하는 분들 보고 계시다면 잘 들으세요.
여러분이 회개기도로 천국을 갈수 있다는 성구로
철썩같이 믿고 있는 이 성구는
"너희는 싸그리 다 지옥갈 놈들이야"
이 뜻인 것입니다.
임금님의 눈에는 보혈로 덮이지 않은 자들은
선한 일을 해야할 때 안한 것까지도
지옥갈 죄로 간주되고 있는 것입니다.
이래도 자신의 노력으로
천국에 갈 자신이 있으신가요?
여러분이 행위구원의 증거라고 믿고있던 위의 성구가
사실은 은혜의 복음의 강력한 증거였던 것입니다!
당신이 깜빡하고 회개 안한 죄가 한톨이라도 남아있으면
당신은 그것 때문에 지옥을 갑니다.
당신이 선한 일을 해야 할 타이밍에 선한 일을 안해도
당신은 그것 때문에 지옥을 갑니다.
"지옥을 피하는 데에는
죄에 대한 회개만으로는 안되는 것입니다"
마태복음 25장의 양과 염소비유는
회개기도와 거룩한 행실로 천국을 가려고 애쓰며
당신이 외면하고 있는 한 성구를 지목하고 있습니다.
「 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 」
John 14: 6
Now is the time for you to make a decision.
Will you accept the forgiveness of grace
as a freely given present?
Or
Keep trying to do good things and repent hard?
The place to live for your eternity is
up to your decision.
