A blessed negation. How sweet the name of Jesus. At that time, William Cooper was very depressed. In modern terms, he was depressed. He also received hospital treatment. He had a lot of worries and doubts. Because John Newton had the same experience as him, so they had a lot of good time together. Tonight, when we come together to think about God's words, I would like to invite everyone to turn the Bible to Exodus chapter 3. It is the same scripture we read this morning. This morning, we talked about the scriptures of the previous different festivals. The focus is also different. Tonight, we are going to focus our information on the Sadi Church. Here I will read to you the message from God to the Church of Sadiq. This is chapter 3, verses 1-6 of the Book of Revelation. You have to write a letter to the messengers of the Church of God, saying, those who have the spirit of God, those who have the spirit of God, and those who have the spirit of God, saying, I know what you have done. I know what you have done. Amin, you are alive. Actually, you are dead. You have to wake up and watch out for those who are going to fall. Because the way I see you is not the same as the way I see God. So you need to reflect on how you receive, how you hear, how you obey, and how you repent, if you don't wake up. What the Holy Spirit said to the Church, those who have ears should listen. Let us pray together. Dear God, tonight we come to look at you, to read your words. When we hear your words, we pray. We ask your spirit to make your words shine. Tonight, when we come to learn your words, we ask you to touch our hearts. We thank you for Jesus Christ. We ask this in his precious name. Amen. The fifth chapter we see here is a summary of this paragraph. We can find that there are several other places where our tribe encourages its people to think. It's not just about trials, hardships, and oppression. so that they can see through those things and look forward to a further, more beautiful final destination, as if they have already seen the finish line of the competition. When we are involved in such a topic, we are united with the resurrection group, or experience death, or because of those disasters, Then we have the second coming of the Lord. His second coming, we can all see it with our own eyes. When our pastor was explaining Matthew 24, on the night of the last few Sundays, he also reminded us Here, the 5th chapter is a warning. It uses the command of Qi, Zi, Yu, Qi. In the 5th chapter, the word Desheng means to have perseverance and perseverance. It also means to continue to maintain confidence. This is exactly the same as what is said in the 2nd chapter. and to warn the Christians that their love for God has become cold, even though their church has a good reputation in the forest. The second chapter says this. You must be vigilant to ensure that the rest will be weak, because what I see of you in front of my God is not exactly In this second chapter, this word is very interesting. In Greek, in the original text, it is pepleromena. This is a word that is now actively used. This word may not have such a perfect meaning as we often think. Very interesting. This morning we are discussing the trade between Xun Daozhong Weili Gonghui and their trade. Tonight we will continue our discussion. Xun Daozhong Weili Gonghui is divided into two mainstreams. Their leaders are George Whitefield, and his teachings. The other is John Wesley and his followers. John Wesley is Americanism. He assumes a doctrine called complete love. It is based on this scripture. And John has also talked about complete love. There is no fear in love. When love is complete, fear is removed. Because fear contains punishment. Fearful people are not complete in love. John 18 John Wesley said that he has never been in such a state. This is a state, an almost perfect state. This is how they are taught. But what is said in Chapter 3, verse 2, is a completely different concept. There is no such meaning. Here, the word papilomena means the abundance of things, and the growth of things. The same word appears in other parts of God's words in different forms in the end of Romans chapter 5 and the beginning of chapter 6. The law of nature is out of the nature, and it is too much, and it is too much. But where is it most obvious? The grace point is even more obvious. That is even more obvious. Abounded is the word for papyromania. So the meaning of this word is rich, augmented. As a winner, even though he faces many challenges, he will be forced. There are also familiar flesh battles and devils to hinder his growth. However, he is still growing in the group. Because God's commandment is Those who have attained the Holy Spirit must wear white clothes like this. I will not smear his name from the side of life, but I will recognize his name in front of my father and in front of my father's faithful. Qi Si Lu, Chapter 3, Verse 5. Tonight, I want to focus on the part of the scripture that is 我也必不从生命册上涂抹他的名。 这是整句的第二个重句 在这里我们可以看到 这是一个否定 是一种特殊的否定 所以今天晚上我们的讲题就是 A Blast Negation 有福的否定 那什么是否定呢? When we explore this word, we can trace it to the Latin word negatio. The original meaning is to deny or deny. Our English vocabulary, negation, comes from this Latin word. When we use the word negate in English, it is often used habitually to express denial. 我们常看到这个词汇来表达 刚好于确认相反的意思 我拿一个简单的希腊语动词来举例说明 就用一个词 philo 希腊语的意思是我将会 那里就包含了确认的意思 If I add the word 不 or 否認 here, it becomes I negated it. 我否認了這件事,就是取消了這件事。 上帝的話語在這節經文裡就是一個否定,而這種否定恰恰是一個肯定。 Is it reasonable for you to have a concrete affirmation? This is a denial. God says here, if you are loyal to me, I will not do that to anyone who is victorious. The other is John Wesley, and he is separated from him. Some of the scriptures here become very controversial. Because the understanding of this scripture by the Armenians is that as a Christian, if you are not loyal, if you do not tolerate loyalty until the end, it is possible that your name will be erased from the side of life. This is the understanding of the Arminianist on this sutra. And the understanding of the Jiaowenist on this sutra is like this. The denial here is actually a confirmation. God is affirming that one thing. He won't do it. Why? Because how do we become victors? Christians, how do we overcome the world of the flesh and the devil? God's words clearly show that no one can be free from his will. Free will. Their own efforts and their own work And success, because relying on those results, is always a failure. If God leaves you and me, and leaves us to our own devices, then the patience we have in our hearts is all we have left. our own struggles and efforts to prevent you and I from entering the eternal hell. So how do people become conquerors or conquerors? How do we overcome the world of flesh and the devil? Of course, we can only rely on faith in Christ and follow Christ. So how to believe in Christ? Are we following Christ with our own efforts? No, we follow Christ because of the Holy Spirit of God, which makes us become a new person in Christ, and supernaturally reconstruct our minds, thoughts, and emotions. This is the God who brought you back to life. This same God also supports you. At the same time, this God is infinite wisdom, has infinite power, and is omnipresent. So the denial here is for those chosen by God. In fact, it is God's will. This is a confirmation. And we also saw this morning that when the Holy See asked this question to the Church, the Lord's comment was, because you have a name, you have a reputation, under your name, you are alive. But what you are doing is dead. Their actions seem to be dead. Of course, we see that the Lord is caring to consolidate those who are left and those who have completely lost their lives. We have already seen how they act. Thus it can be seen that we have the Lord's promise. Those who endure to the end in the Lord, their names will remain on the side of life. This is what was written before God created the world. God's promise will not erase those names. On the contrary, our Lord Jesus Christ will in front of God and his holy angels to acknowledge our name. This is a very beautiful response, a very beautiful response. It is also a very beautiful hope. The Lord will do so. I will not smear his name on the side of life. Why wouldn't the Lord do that? There are many reasons. The main reason is the Lord's ability to keep us until the end. And the Lord is able to protect us because it is directly related to who God is and the attributes he possesses. All of this is out of infinite wisdom. This wisdom invented the salvation plan itself. This is God's invention. In his infinite wisdom and infinite mind, God chose those perfect methods. Using these perfect methods to save you and me. This is unimaginable to others. No one has ever imagined it. When you think about those facts, God with his infinite heart, made his holy only son Qu Zun, the second of the three-unit God, the holy son, he emptied all his glory, All the dangers, in the most mysterious way, beyond human imagination, come together with humans. This fully shows that Fuyin is God's plan. It's really speechless. God's design and invention, in his plan to save the world, is so wonderful. The second of the three, the soldier becomes a human being, Tao becomes flesh. His work proves that he is a complete human being and a complete god. It is this God who comes to bear our sins, that is, the sins of those chosen by God. This is due to God's infinite wisdom and infinite power. Are those thoughts completely absurd? Is it stupid to even think about it? The God who created all things in the universe is the eternal God who will give his life. This eternal God will save people by sacrificing his only son. But at the end, his plan was disrupted by the plan of the flesh world and Satan. This is completely stupid. This is incomprehensible. This is why our salvation is guaranteed. Therefore, the confirmation of salvation has become a very important doctrine. This is very important for all Wei-Li Associations, especially for the Wei-Li Associations of Jiawenism. Just this morning, we saw the testimony of John Wesley. Especially when he was reading Martin Luther's Bible, the parable of the Roman book. That kind of experience is unimaginable. For someone to have such a saving experience, but in the end will fall into such a spiritual trajectory. It implies that God may eventually become a loser, because it is completely dependent on human freedom and will. Isn't this very difficult to imagine? John Wesley will have that kind of thinking process. This is the difficulty of the communists to John Wesley and his teachings in that work. Because for the attributes of God, the Bible is very clear. Regarding God's plan for salvation, the Bible is also very clear. In order to let God achieve his goal, and to imagine that God can speak to this material world and set his will. and make it into existence. To a certain extent, this may be the goodwill of human free will, but it cannot make it into a great god, and a unique god. Obviously, the god of Arminianism is a too small god. God can only be saved through the will of man to achieve his goal. Thus, God became a not-so-great God. In fact, this does improve the status of man. But God's will is very clear. In fact, he will give us the ability to make us winners. Because of some reasons, some people's faith is often easily defeated. They are also often in doubt. But the grace of God in their lives is active and self-explanatory. He will become a winner. Maybe you yourself have experienced the doubts and misfortunes that come from the physical world and from the devil. Maybe at some point, your confidence or my confidence becomes weak. We become worried, worried, and afraid. We even doubt. Can I endure it to the end? And isn't the truth that comes from God's words very wonderful? All those who rely on the power of God for everything, rely on His omnipotence to protect us. He is the God who makes us reborn. And for God to manipulate the act of rebirth is the greatest miracle. This is the greatest miracle God has done on this planet. In fact, God accepts sinners like you and me. He can tolerate such a mind. Not only does it make him sad, but also this mind is at war with him. However, God is gentle and loving. In this way, he is at war with his mind and will. to transform him, to transform his nature, so that he becomes a God-loving, God-seeking, and God-bearing being. This is a miracle far greater than God's creation of the material world in six days. You and I, under the protection of the N-point constraint, have a more definitive and unambiguous salvation. This is far more superior and more important than what Adam and Eve have in the electric circuit. According to the narrative of Genesis, when Adam was created, has its original craftsmanship. This is the same as its nature. When God created it, God created man with the dust of the earth and blew the air into his nostrils. He became a living being with a spirit. His name is Adam. Genesis 2, chapter 7. Because of God's goodness, he cannot create evil. He can only create good things. But this created thing is possible to repeat and change. As Adam, when he and his beloved wife were tested by Satan and his lies, what did they do? They surrendered. How much did they lose? They lost all their brothers and sisters. They lost everything. But what happened when God resurrected? Now we have the second Adam. The second Adam has come. It is the Lord Jesus Christ. As the leader of the Alliance of God's Chosen Ones, those who were appointed by God before God created the world, as the leader of those people, he shed his blood for those who were chosen. Resurrected from his death, ascended to the heaven, will endure to the end. In fact, he is willing to admit their names in front of his father and holy angel. The question can always be concluded that he did all this for us. Am I one of them? Are we one of his treasures? Are we one of the treasures he gives us? Can we know this? Yes, we can know. When you experience rebirth, you will have such an experience. How do we know there is a rebirth experience? When God gives us his words, The only reason for this is so that we can call it righteousness. We can have such certainty. Now our pastor is leading us to learn. The Galatian Book is in our worship in the morning of Sunday. The next Sunday will be very interesting. In the past, people used the grace of God to write and preach. We can think of Martin Luther. He wrote that wonderful bible. It's about Galatians. Martin Luther loved Galatea very much. He called her his wife's name. Because he said, I am married to her. If you have a chance to read this very interesting bible, In fact, I challenge you to read that book. If you want to be comforted, of course, most of our comfort comes from God's words. Bible. If you read the Galatians, it is a promise to us. and applied in the life of God's saint. When he is in doubt, fear, and under the attack of the devil, he is frustrated. There is a scripture written by Martin Luther. Luther has what he really wants to say, the old parable. This is because Luther grew up under the Roman Catholic system. In the Roman Catholic system, if a person has the evidence of salvation, he can be sentenced to death. This is a mystery, because in their system, there is no evidence of salvation. Very interesting. Similarly, in the Muslim countries, there is no guarantee of salvation. And in those small sects and those radical small groups, their focus is on human work. There is no hope. Of course, there is no guarantee. Martin Luther thought that this kind of teaching came from the devil. He meant the idea that you can't have a clear view. When we come to learn and read the teachings of the British Catholics, we are very pleased and it is also very interesting. Especially in the late period of the United Kingdom, at the beginning of the 17th century, the Catholics paid great attention to the concept of old and new, and also experienced it in person. If you read the famous teaching of the Catholic Thomas Brooks, Heaven on Earth, This lecture is about peace, joy, and comfort. Because many of our sins have been pardoned in Jesus Christ. This is a very encouraging book. And then we saw the movement in the Catholic Church in the whole of the Church of England. The society began to fall apart. People gathered in the church and talked about some illusions and dreams. What should not be talked about is joy. It's a miracle made by God. It's a miracle of salvation. Our sins are forgiven. How wonderful it is. Our sins are taken care of. and joy, comfort and happiness have entered our lives. This does not mean that we can always be at the pinnacle of the forest. To put it plainly, are our emotions reliable? Or should we believe in God's words? Because sometimes God does not withdraw from His presence with us. But sometimes, we feel like he is not with us. And sometimes, we feel like we are abandoned by God. At those moments, what should we do? Sometimes, our life is in a state of chaos, and we can't see God's promise. No, I don't feel like I am saved. But the words of God are established, they belong to me. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Isn't that wonderful? In the life of a Christian, even when the soul is shrouded in darkness, in the past, Christians also often imitate the words of God. Because we can find comfort in the absence of God's words. The Holy Spirit lets us know that we are forgiven. Because we have already been pardoned, and we know that God will preserve us. He will give us strength, so that we can endure to the end. In all those attacks from hell and darkness, we will gain flesh and doubt. This is really wonderful. The word of God.
