There is a way that people can receive my blessings and the blessings of the Heavens. It is by listening to my words of life, and the words of eternal life, and obeying them. Listening to the Word itself and taking action itself are blessings. It is salvation. Even if you listen to my words and just believe, you will change into a righteous person. And if you take action, you will come out of the domain of death which is the domain of sin, and you will receive salvation. My words are life, so if you listen and obey them, you will come out to life from darkness right away.
If you leave dirt alone, then it will remain as dirt forever. But if a person who knows about dirt knead the clay and make it into a pottery, then in few days, it will turn into a beautiful and mysterious ceramic so it can be used valuably. Didn’t he say this is true also for your body and your spirit? You need to cut away all your humanistic mentality and mindset. You need to believe in me, the Holy Son absolutely, love me, listen to my words of eternal life, accept them, take action, and grow. Then your spirit will be completed and transform into true spirits of the Heaven so that even if your body dies, your spirit will come to Heaven, and live with me who saved you, and live with God endlessly in eternal joy.
The time your body lives on earth is the time for you to fulfill the salvation of your body and spirit. If you miss all the valuable opportunities while living on earth and live without knowing about it, whose loss is it? It is 100% your loss. When distress came upon you while you ignorantly lived your life in the world, you regretted it so much, didn’t you?
But in the body, you [only have to] receive suffering for few years, or few dozens of years and then it will end. And then when the opportunity comes again, you can do it again. However, it is different for the spiritual world. Since all the chances are given to you while in the body, you won’t be able to gain another opportunity in the spiritual world. Instead, you will pass through the world of death, and end up in Hell, where you will live in endless suffering for eternity.
This is losing the chance to go on the path to Heaven, while only doing things that you like during this valuable time on earth. Do you know how important this issue of ‘eternal life’ is? Even if Earth belonged to you, would you be able to use and enjoy everything in it? Once your body dies, there is nothing you can take with you from the world, not even a single grain of sand from the seashore. Pray and see the reality of those who enjoyed wealth and splendor on earth but did not believe in me and my Father; see where their spirits went and how severely they are suffering gnashing their teeth.
The Bible introduces a rich man, who only ate and enjoyed on earth without believing in my Father. Later, his body died and his spirit went to Hell, the story says. On the other hand, Lazarus the beggar, who begged for food at the doorway of the rich man, led a life of faith believing in God and loving Him absolutely. When Lazarus’ body died, his spirit went to Heaven. Doesn’t it say so? One day, the rich man in Hell lifted his eyes and looked toward Heaven. He saw Lazarus in Abraham’s arms. The rich man said, “Oh, Abraham, I am gnashing my teeth and suffering in this intense flame. Please send Lazarus who used to live near me in the world and let him touch my tongue with just one drop of water!” Abraham said in response, “You were told to believe in God in the world but you did not. You only engrossed in the things you liked; you only ate and enjoyed yourself. Didn’t you? As for Lazarus, he worshiped God even in the midst of suffering in the world. So his spirit came to the bosom of God.
No one can go with water from here to there; nor can anyone come from there to here, forever.” The rich man in Hell spoke again, “Then, please send Lazarus to my siblings who are in the world. They do not believe in God and live as I lived, so they will come here.
Send Lazarus and let him tell them this reality so that my siblings will believe in God and not come here!” Abraham replied, “If they do not believe in God even after hearing the preachers in the world, will they believe just because a spirit is sent from Heaven? Preachers are already sent to them. Whether they believe in God or not is up to their free will, depending on [whether or not] they have good conscience, isn’t it?” In this way, if a person does not believe in God and me, the Holy Son when an evangelist is sent to them, they will not believe even if the angels of Heaven go to them and urge them to believe.
It is the same for you in this time period, too. Do not try to get out of Hell after your spirit goes there. But strive to get out of there while your body lives on earth. For the past thousands of years, not even one person escaped Hell, once they went there. There are many people who just live without knowing that if they do not believe in me and my Father, their spirits will go to Hell when their bodies die and, therefore, they fail to receive salvation. What pity it is! Is wealth or glory in the world that important?
Is eating well, wearing good clothes, being rich, having a good environment, or a nice house that important? If these things rather keep you from believing in me, the Holy Son, and God; it is better not to own them at all. I tell you the truth; eternal blessing is walking the path of eternal life. It is to receive salvation. Both your spirit and your body prosper if you believe in me, hear my words, and keep them with action. This is [human] life: when the body hears my words and put them to action, both the body and the spirit perfectly transform and resurrect.
The spirit is made exactly as the body acts. Just as what and how you write the letters appear on a notepad, the action of the body is completely passed on to the spirit, which changes its form according to the body’s actions. From the spirit’s standpoint, the body is a being too weak and vain. Confide in me the vanity and weakness; confide in me your worries, anxieties, and insecure heart. Make yourself. You make the action of your body, your mind, and your heart according to my ideas and will. This way, let the life of your body shine and let your spirit also live, shining, as a result.
