- John 14:23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”
I will share two proverbs first and then begin the message:
- “People like what they do.”
- “People acknowledge and justify ‘what they did in the situation they were in’ and are happy about it.”
Even though God has laws [against it] and even though their deeds are wrong, they still acknowledge ‘the side of the wrong.’ They do that because that side has some ‘positive attributes’ in its own way. Even though it may be difficult and hard, you have to do the things that are right in God’s eyes. Then it is ‘beneficial’ to both your body and your spirit.
Whether they are righteous things or unrighteous things, there are ‘positives’ to doing them. Therefore, a person who has done what is righteous says that it was good that he ‘did it’ and is happy about it. This is because doing it benefitted both his body and spirit even though it was that much more difficult. Even the person who did what was unrighteous says that ‘what he did’ was good and is happy about it. This is because there are ‘positives’ in its own way. People of the world do what is unrighteous and say they are happy about it.
A person who did not do what was unrighteous says that it was good that he ‘did not do it,’ speaks up for that side [of not doing it], and teaches it [to others]. It is because it benefitted his body and spirit that much even though it was hard for him to overcome and control himself from doing what was unrighteous.
Both righteousness and unrighteousness, if you take action on them, it will ‘benefit you as much as you do them.’ Both righteousness and unrighteousness, if you don’t take action on them, it will ‘benefit you as much as you don’t do them.’ However, according to God’s law of repaying you according to your deeds, if you take action on righteousness, you will travel ‘the path of life’ even if there may be difficulties. And if you take action on unrighteousness, you will travel ‘the path of death’ and suffer as well. If you do what is good in the eyes of God, there are both difficulties and good things. However, when you think it through and check, there are far more ‘good things.’ Therefore, you should look at that and take action on the side that is good in God’s eyes even if it may be difficult for you.
People who have failed to do their work do enjoy the positives because they are comfortable since they did not do it. However, they fail to gain due to failing to do their work and they live advocating for that side. However, after having done the work that should be done, I see that doing it is better. Even if it may be difficult for you, you must take action according to God’s Will and travel only ‘the path of life, the path of gain.’ Even if you failed to do ‘the work that you should do’ today, don’t be discouraged but instead, learn a lesson from your failure and tomorrow, surely take action with God’s heart, thoughts, and determination, and become God’s tribe, God’s counterpart of love, and the greatest life.
Love is something that everyone needs. Love is that great. Even though love is so great, if you can’t give ‘your love,’ you cannot enjoy the feeling of love, the benefits of love, and the joy of love. Therefore, a person who has a counterpart to give their love to is a happy person. Everyone, do you have ‘a counterpart to give your love to?’ If that counterpart is ‘an eternal counterpart,’ then you are the happiest person in the world on earth.
The love God gives too – there is average love, mid-level love, and the highest love. However, since He had no ‘counterpart’ to give the highest love, God created ‘the counterparts to whom He can give the highest love.’ He first created heaven and earth and creation, and then created human beings. After that, He created spirits through their bodies. So that people would live the way God wanted them to live, He sent the Messiah to the earth and taught them, gave them the Word to abide by through him, and let their bodies keep that Word. And He let their spirits mature to God’s level when their bodies kept the Word. God gave the highest love to the matured spirits and let them live eternally loving and being loved by God.
Even though God has so much love, if He does not have counterparts He can give that love to, [that is] the people who are transformed into the counterparts of love, He can neither give love nor fulfill the history of love. When the Trinity’s counterparts of love are made, God gives things that pertain to individuals as well, but He [especially] gives the biggest of things so that everyone can use them together. He gives what pertains to individuals to individuals, but He doesn’t give big things separately to individuals. Since individuals can’t handle it because it is so big, God keeps it, drives it around and lets those who are united with the Lord use it together with the Lord to their hearts content.
God has so much. However, you have to become one [with Him] through love. Then you can use those things together with God when He is using them just as you would use the sun and the earth. You have to become one [with Him] through love. Only then will God’s things become your things and the Lord’s things become yours. The sun and the earth cannot be given to individuals. They can’t be given to them even if they are counterparts of love. However, [God] lets [the counterparts] use them valuably and use them more than others by giving them wisdom. God possesses the entire world on earth. However, He does not give it to individuals even if they are His beloved. Instead, He gives them wisdom as much as they love God and lets the people He loves use more of it and use it valuably.
You have to value the things that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son gave you, talk about the stories behind them every day, value them, and testify for them. Then He will give you more. If you forget and don’t talk about them, don’t testify about them, and don’t use them valuably, He will not give you things again next time.
