Introduction
Good day to all! I am sharing with you a topic, The Faith that Raises the Dead. This is a sermon about faith. I get excited whenever faith is mentioned. If you want to build up a person, you must first build up his faith. If a person's faith is built up, his mental state immediately changes. Therefore, faith is very important.
Today is our Holy Communion Sunday. Everyone must remember that the first Sunday of every month is our Holy Communion Sunday. Everyone prepares on this day to eat the flesh of Jesus Christ and drink His blood, so that we may die and be resurrected with Jesus Christ. As you follow me further, the faith that raises the dead plays a very important role. The intellectual understanding of the faith that raises the dead is crucial. Anything without intellectual understanding is useless.
Let us briefly review last Sunday's topic, Faith Abounding in Understanding. For this period, I will be preaching about faith, which is a great challenge for me because I have preached about faith too much in the past. Especially when Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are mentioned, some people will say, Here we go again! Please do not get bored. I am also trying hard to prepare. The problem lies in the faith abounding in understanding, which is clear in the heart, not muddled.
Being clear in understanding is very important. How should the faith that raises the dead be understood intellectually? Many things are closely related to understanding. Understanding is closely related to wisdom. For example, if a person is very wise in understanding, he is definitely not very wise in speaking in tongues. Because after speaking in tongues for a long time, you still do not understand it. If our sermon starts with speaking in tongues for an hour, you will not have any effect on your understanding after listening to it. If there is no effect on understanding, there will be no improvement in wisdom.
A person's ignorance and unknowing are the result of his lack of understanding. A friend of mine's father jumped from a building. The old man was over 80 years old. No one knows whether he fell accidentally or climbed out of the window and jumped. My friend's father and mother often engaged in intense arguments for decades, which was hurtful and painful. What is there to be painful about? They have food and drink to live on, but they do not live well. They have to quarrel and make trouble, which is a lack of understanding. What can you do when two people without understanding are together? They will only argue all day long.
All problems with spouses, children, and work are closely related to understanding. Because you cannot see through, you cannot manage it. Some people live very hard because they cannot solve their children's problems. Recently, some parents brought their children to our church because they heard me talk about how I ministered to a child with intellectual disabilities. This child could not even do addition and subtraction within ten, but I fixed him. So, they brought their children to us.
Many things are related to understanding. A child cannot do addition and subtraction, and the mother cries all day, feeling very helpless. It is also difficult when understanding is lacking. If understanding is clear, she will not feel helpless. If the doctor tells you that the child's intelligence is like this, you cannot solve it without faith. Therefore, the faith that raises the dead that I preach is very important. A couple went out driving, and they started arguing for some reason. The husband was driving in front, and the wife started hitting him from behind. As a result, they accidentally crashed into a tree, but luckily, they did not die. If they had died, how would this be accounted for? Why do such a thing? Many things happen because people's minds are broken. Our job is to fix people's minds.
Recently, we have been watching the US election, where two old men in America are fighting fiercely for the job of president. Many people think it is a good thing, and many Christians are participating. I have received many messages from Christians asking me to pray for Trump. I think that is enough. Are people taking this matter a bit too seriously? In fact, our hope is not in this world at all! If we are talking about hope, our only hope is a coffin. They are over 70 years old, what are they fighting for? They are still busy and enjoying it. This is called lack of understanding, not seeing through, and not grasping the essence.
I myself am someone who likes to figure things out. I ponder anything that comes into my hands. The thing I like to ponder the most is to see through what it means to be alive. Once you see through it, you feel great! If you do not feel great, it is because you have not seen through it. Many people do not listen to the advice I give them. They cannot see through it, so how can they listen? I say that the education of children is not important, and it is not of great use even if you care about it. Some people cannot listen because they cannot see through it. In reality, no matter how much they try, it will just be that way.
I have talked about the Yellow Millet Dream before. A person's life is like that. Who knows if it is real or just a dream? It is just a feeling. Therefore, although I do things in the world very seriously, I have figured out everything I need to figure out, so I am not controlled by these things. Time is the best way to solve all problems. People's hatred and love are all digested in that coffin. No matter how much you care, it is useless. Once we have a clear understanding of matters such as life, death, and resurrection from the dead, we will immediately understand. After understanding, we will have clarity in our understanding.
If you take a dim view of life and death, why bother with these things? By bothering less, you will be less controlled, attract fewer demons, and get sick less often. When people see through things, they will pursue eternal life. When people see through things, they will know that everything in this world is vanity of vanities. Whether it is learning, work, business, or anything else, it is all vanity of vanities. Pursuing eternal life is pursuing a better homeland. I tell you, if people do not have eternal life, everything is vanity. Living is just waiting for a coffin, there is no point.
I have a strong desire, which is to pursue a better home within me. If it were not for the faith in Jesus Christ, if it were not for pursuing a better homeland, I would rather leave this world. I do not want to live in this world because living is suffering.
In the early years when I first believed in the Lord, I did not have much hope for people living. At that time, I did not care much about the resurrection of the dead and eternal life when I heard about them in church. But as my understanding has improved over the years, I have come to value them more and more, because they really solve problems. Someone will come to challenge me: Do you know about the resurrection of the dead? No. Do you really know what the resurrection of the dead is about? No. How do you know it will solve problems? Because it has solved problems after I put it into practice. If we see through things, we will not fight or rob, let alone steal.
Therefore, I encourage everyone to read the Book of Ecclesiastes carefully. I think the Book of Ecclesiastes speaks very well. If you are clear in understanding, you will become a preacher. Today we are talking about the faith that raises the dead. If you do not know that people's final destination is in a coffin, you will not be able to listen, because all your faith is in this world.
Scripture
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. (Hebrews 11:13-19)
Prayer
God! Today, place the faith that raises the dead within us, so that the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead may be manifested in our bodies. God, when we had no hope, you placed the faith that raises the dead within us, so that we may obtain the hope of eternal life. God, although we have not seen the resurrection of the dead, the power of Your resurrection from the dead is manifested in our bodies, and we clearly know in our hearts that Jesus Christ has indeed risen from the dead, because the power of God's resurrection is manifested in our bodies!
God, today, open our minds and grant us abundant faith in our understanding, to believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and that nothing is impossible with God. Today, lead us into eternal life, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
Abraham's Understanding
Abraham's faith came from understanding. Do not think that Abraham came up with it by slapping his head. Today he slapped his head and obtained eternal life, and tomorrow he slapped his head again and said, I want to offer Isaac to God... Such slapping of the head will not produce any results. We need to understand Abraham as a person. Do not think that Abraham has already seen through the world and entered a life of renunciation. Abraham saw life and death, and understood that living is just waiting for a coffin, and it is meaningless.
Abraham's feelings are the same as mine. People are busy all day long, just being pointlessly busy. Luckily, I am not participating in the election. What is the point of being so busy? People live and then die, what is the point of doing so much? Abraham was a philosopher. He began to explore what it meant to be alive. This is not easy. Many people are self-righteous and do not understand the meaning of living. They wrote a book called Living, thinking that living is just living, without understanding it.
It is a tragedy to think that you understand when you do not understand. If people do not have eternal life, what is the point of living? Human life is short. Even if people like Adam and Eve lived for over nine hundred years, they would still end up in a coffin. People who seek the hope of eternal life will become smart. Abraham sought the hope of eternal life in despair. As a result, our God began to speak to Abraham. What kind of people does God speak to? God speaks to people who seek eternal life. Who does God dwell with? God dwells with people who seek eternal life. Who seeks eternal life? It is people who underestimate living in this world and only think that it is good to be a preacher.
If you want to be a preacher, are you clear about the word you preach? If you have not understood Abraham's understanding, you should not preach. The path Abraham has walked in his life is truly wonderful. Abraham was 75 years old, with a large family, many properties, and a lot of wealth. When he left Haran, he did not know where he was going. Abraham was someone who took a dim view of life, death, and living.
Abraham arrived in the land of Canaan, and he began a life of toil. Many people gave me a name, Toil. At first, I felt that this name was not suitable for me, but after thinking carefully, I also like to toil. Just like Abraham, who had no children or grandchildren, but had a large family, was still seeking the path of eternal life at the age of 75. God spoke to him again and again, and led him.
Every step Abraham took was led by God. Every time God tested him, he understood intellectually that God was testing him, so he tried to answer with full marks. Abraham arrived in the land of Canaan that God had given him, but encountered a famine. However, he understood that God was testing him. As a result, he overcame it intellectually, and God blessed Abraham, and his cattle, sheep, servants, and property began to increase. You must understand that Abraham did not love money. If you love money, you cannot overcome it.
After Lot left Abraham, he was captured. Abraham took his army and rescued his nephew. Abraham's life was full of toiling. When he was ninety-nine years old, God gave him a son named Isaac. When Isaac grew up, God told Abraham to offer his son. If it were me, I would definitely say to God, Let me die for my son. But Abraham did not do this, because what God wanted was not Abraham, but Isaac. As a result, Abraham really offered Isaac.
The father and son walked for three days to Mount Moriah, which is where Solomon and David built the temple, and is today's Temple Mount. Abraham carried Isaac, and Isaac carried the wood for the burnt offering. Isaac said to his father, The firewood is here, but where is the lamb for the offering? Abraham was heartbroken because he had to offer his son. As a result, he said that God would provide on the mountain.
When they arrived at the place, they laid the firewood, put Isaac on the altar, and then were about to cut Isaac and burn him. The Bible says, Through Isaac shall your offspring be named, and your offspring shall be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. But now Isaac was to be offered to God. Abraham thought that after offering his son to God, his son could be resurrected from the dead.
What kind of person can believe this? This is a person the world is not worthy of. He believes that his son will be resurrected after being burned. Only Abraham would believe this. I tell you, the faith that raises the dead comes from this story.
Did Abraham really understand what he was doing? I think he understood. He offered his son clearly. For a person to do such a thing, he must be clear in his understanding that without God, people have no hope, and living is pointless. Over the past years, he has been training his son to understand intellectually that offering himself to God is the best, and that living is vanity of vanities. As a result, the father felt that the son could be resurrected from the dead, and the son also felt that he could be resurrected from the dead. The father felt that living was meaningless, and the son also felt that living was meaningless. The best decision in a person's life is to offer himself to God, and this is the faith that raises the dead.
I really want to solve the problem of understanding, because lack of understanding is the root of the problem. For example, many of us are entangled in this and that because we lack understanding. When I was solving the problem of understanding, I designed a course to train everyone to write things clearly. If you cannot say it clearly, it must be because you are not clear in your understanding. So let us ponder, what kind of faith did Abraham have? Abraham's faith was a faith that raises the dead.
The Apostle Paul established a church called the Corinthian Church. However, the people in the Corinthian Church established by the Apostle Paul did not have the concept of resurrection from the dead, and they thought it was fine to just let it go if they had not seen it. Is this understanding clear or not? Because they did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, Paul rebuked them:
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:14)
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then our belief in Jesus today is all in vain. So the key is that if people do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, all the remaining problems will be ruined.
My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1 Corinthians 2:4)
Paul said: If there is no faith in the resurrection of the dead, the demonstration of the Spirit and of power will all be ruined. Why do I do healing and deliverance? Because I have the faith that raises the dead within me. Only if I believe, will there be God's power.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must begin to adjust your views, and the results will matter. I believe that people can be resurrected from the dead, so I have performed many miracles, so that your faith is no longer built on plausible words of wisdom, but on the power of the Holy Spirit. Did the Apostle Paul perform miracles of resurrection from the dead? Maybe he performed one or two.
The Apostle Paul had intellectual faith in the resurrection of the dead. Because he had faith in the resurrection of the dead, what was brought was the manifestation of God's power. If we get sick, we think we need to find the best doctor, as if it is something very grand. Where is the faith that raises people from the dead in this?
What I say and preach are not clever arguments; I rely on the power of the Spirit. In this way, your faith does not rest on human wisdom but on God's power. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
The Corinthians, having strayed in their faith, even doubted the resurrection of the dead. Thus, Paul penned 1 Corinthians:
Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19)
Emulate the Faith of Abraham
We must come to realize that Abraham’s understanding surpassed that of many Christians and pastors. Should we not emulate him? Remarkably, Abraham lived two thousand years before the birth of Jesus Christ, while we appear two thousand years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. How can we fail to emulate Abraham’s faith? Certainly, we can emulate Abraham’s faith!
For Abraham believed that our God is the one who brings into being what does not exist, and who raises the dead. Life comes from Him and will return to Him. We should emulate Abraham's faith, as it is written in Romans:
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. (Romans 4:16-17)
Emulating Abraham's faith in resurrection from the dead; those who possess such faith are called men of God. If someone curses Abraham, they will be cursed; those who bless Abraham will be blessed. Abraham and Isaac were both called men of God, fully believing that our God is the one who raises people from the dead.
Isaac was also a man of God, seeing through worldly matters. How did Isaac see through them? By digging wells. He wanted water. As soon as he dug a well, others would seize it. It was not that he couldn't fight them off, but why engage in constant strife? Isaac did not complain that they were stealing from him again. Instead, he adopted a calm attitude, indifferent to their actions. His servants would say, Master, why are you so weak? We dug a well, only to have it taken away again. And the master would say, It doesn't matter; let them take it! The servants would persist, why are you so weak? The master would wave his hand, saying, It's alright; let them take it.
Life is not about such things. If they want it, let them have it. Eventually, he dug a well that no one took. Why? Because others felt ashamed of taking it. Isaac understood these worldly matters very well: My God is the one who brings into being what does not exist and raises the dead. What's a well? My hope is not in this world. A little less water doesn't matter. This immediately resolved the conflict within Isaac.
If you are struggling, I suspect it is over a house, a spouse, or children. But I don't struggle with these things because God has given me enough for my use. Moreover, God is with me, giving me enough wisdom and intelligence to support myself and my co-workers through my own efforts. I am not short of money. We are not short of a water well, nor are we short of time.
I still live quite detached from worldly concerns, so what is there to rush about? Work slowly. My entire management system is built on one premise: people live and eventually end up in a coffin. So, why should I rush? I am not in a hurry for anything. Today, we must emulate the faith of Abraham. That old man was remarkable, living life unhurried and carefree.
Some say that emulating the faith of Abraham is too difficult! In fact, it is not difficult at all. You might say: believing that the dead will rise is not difficult? Actually, If you approach it that way, it becomes a problem.
Let me give you some suggestions. Why do people find it difficult to believe that God will raise the dead? The reason is that they have not seen through things. Once you see through them, what is the feeling? Alas, life is just like this, and there is not much meaning to it. Once people see through this, they will start pursuing eternal life. Once people pursue eternal life, they will believe in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Once they believe this, it's astonishing! The power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ will be manifested in you.
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
Believing is the beginning of experiencing God. You will gain assurance of faith and see the guidance of the Holy Spirit, step by step on the path of practicing faith. If you fight against the devil, you will prevail; if you pray for the sick, they will be healed. Whatever you do will prosper. Haven't you obtained a treasure?
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)
Because we have no expectation in this world; we are people who pursue eternal life. If you have pursuits in this world, you will not be able to listen to my preaching; if you still have a pile of expectations in this world, you will not be able to walk the path of faith.
Without God, without eternal life, what's the meaning of a coffin? It means nothing. In the end, all your love and hatred are consumed in the coffin. What hope is there? I have seen through all of this. If people bully me, they bully me. If they insult me, they insult me. If they take advantage of me, let them! Give it to them!
Sometimes I get confused. When I am confused, I feel uncomfortable. Then I quickly clear things up and stop arguing with people. I believe that our God is the God who brings into being what does not exist, and our God is the God who raises people from the dead. As long as we have God, nothing is a problem. We must begin to restore such faith.
One of our pastors sent me a testimony, that she prayed for those who have leg pain or illness, and they soon got better. Actually, I really like such testimonies, because it is releasing the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If one day God calls you to offer your most precious Isaac, how will you react? Will you react like Abraham, offering your most precious thing to God?
If you offer your most precious thing to God, God will give you His most precious thing. That would be remarkable! We must never be foolish! If one day God asks you, Are you willing to die for me? In fact, I really did hear God speak to me one day, asking me, Are you willing to die for me? I immediately knelt down and tearfully said to God, God, you actually think highly of me. I am willing! If you let me die for you today, I won't wait until tomorrow!
Some people think, What kind of brain do I have? But I think my brain is still very smart. How smart is my brain! Because I said this to God, who among us who are healed today does not owe me a favor? because one person emulated Abraham, and as a result, became a man of God, and also turned many of our brothers and sisters into men of God. Our God is such a good God, so don't be foolish, that's infinitely good!
Whatever I do prospers. I shared a testimony before, and as a result, many people replenished their giving. Today, the gospel of Jesus Christ can solve problems, which is really good! If a person is carrying sin and being miserably disturbed by demons all day long, then isn't life just a tragedy?
This word is in your heart and in your mouth, the path of emulating Abraham is easier to walk, and the path of not emulating Abraham is not easy to walk. The path of emulating Abraham is walking on the path of resurrection from the dead; the path of not emulating Abraham is walking on the path to the coffin. The path of emulating Abraham is a path of Mingding Destiny, to become a blessing to many people, and many people will be blessed because of us, which is simply too great.
And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. (Ecclesiastes 7:26)
Can everyone understand? This woman, because she clings tightly to death and the coffin lid, her life is a coffin path, can it not be bitter? Therefore, brothers and sisters, do not love the world or the things of the world. Do not place your hopes on money, houses, or children. That will lead to disappointment and hardship. We must emulate Abraham. We should emulate the faith of Abraham. Abraham believed in the God who raises from the dead and brings into being what does not exist. As a result, Abraham became a man of God.
The Power of Jesus Christ's Resurrection Will Be Manifested in Us
We should emulate the faith in Abraham's understanding, and the result will be that the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection will be manifested in us. It is not that we chose this path confusedly, but that we are clear in our understanding, so we chose this path. When we clearly choose this path, trials will come upon us. Do not think that Abraham did not undergo trials. Abraham went through various trials and then triumphed.
When we choose this path in our understanding, you will find that many bizarre things happen. Let me pour cold water on everyone. Those false fantasies, such as people believing that after believing in the Lord, they can smoothly and comfortably wait to go to heaven, actually this is not in accordance with the Bible.
Some people say: If choosing this path will encounter so many trials, then I'd rather not choose this path and choose the coffin path! I tell everyone that choosing the coffin path is even harder to walk, that is a path more bitter than death! Today, there is a path of resurrection, a path of life opened up for us by Jesus Christ, that allows people to be resurrected from the dead and live out the glorious image of God. Do you want to walk this path? If you really want to walk this path:
Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith... (Hebrews 11:36-39)
Brothers and sisters must know that if you want to obtain a better resurrection, without going through tests and trials, faith is false. Only faith that has been tested is true! When brothers and sisters are emulating Abraham, they should also emulate his reaction when he was tested. He longed for a better country, this world is just a temporary place to live, in the world just a traveler and a sojourner, sooner or later will leave this place. After walking the way during the world, you can boast of nothing but toil, sorrow and vexation, there is no merit.
If we live in this world with wonderful hopes, hopes of eternal life, and faith to raise the dead, we can overcome any difficulties. Because this world is not my Mingding Destiny, even if someone steals your money, steals your water well, steals your business, steals your most important resources, what's the matter?
Let me read a passage of scripture for everyone, which I think is particularly good!
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (2 Corinthians 4:7-11)
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, so that by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. (2 Corinthians 5:1-5)
So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. (2 Corinthians 5:6-9)
Therefore, brothers and sisters, those of us who have Mingding Destiny, are not mindful of earthly matters, but of heavenly matters; we are not mindful of this life, but of eternal life. Some people say: Teacher, don't you often say to live out God's glorious image on earth? That's right! You must have faith to raise the dead, to live out God's glorious image on earth, because what we care about is not the earthly.
If what we care about is also the earthly, we will live like that woman, more bitter than death, which is the woman mentioned in Ecclesiastes. What we care about is not this life but eternal life, you will see God clearly with us, constantly manifesting the power of resurrection from the dead in us, if you want to experience these things, start from here.
May the Love of Christ Impel Us
If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. (2 Corinthians 5:13-15)
May the love of God impel us, so that we may live for the Lord; what is offered up is mortal, what is obtained is resurrected; what is offered up is this life, what is obtained is eternal life, what could be better than this? Look at your problems, if you have physical illness, and financial difficulties, you need to have such faith, and see if having the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection will solve everything smoothly?
Let us cast off the sins that entangle us, and all these little things, children, cars, houses, money and everything, and begin to run on this path from death to resurrection, our God will surely be with us forever. Let us clearly know in our minds that the days in this world are just an exam, some people have not passed the exam, and there is no way to enter that better homeland; some people have passed the exam, and entered the eternal house in heaven personally built for us by God.
Let us have hope, look down on everything in this world, obtain Mingding Destiny, and become a blessing to this generation! Let us serve this generation, and let God's power of resurrection from the dead be manifested in us.
May God bless everyone!
