Introduction

Good morning, everyone. I am very pleased to meet you online again. Today, I would like to share with you a topic called: The new man is renewed in knowledge. You must understand that people are born ignorant, and only through a series of acquired education and learning can they gain knowledge. In fact, it is a very sad thing for people to be ignorant, but it is even more pitiful for Christians to be ignorant than ordinary people.

I once gave a talk on a topic called My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Ignorance damages people beyond imagination. Many Christians have a bad habit of thinking that they can turn one thing into another with a touch of their finger, or suddenly gain knowledge with a tap on their head! Why do they think they have such understanding? In fact, there is no such thing at all! Christians must learn to be filled with the knowledge of God in their understanding, they must learn, they must grow.

Chinese Mingding Destiny is a theology that is gradually renewed in knowledge and constantly pursues to be like the Lord Jesus. The entire regulation is gradually renewed in knowledge. Learning plays a very important role in Chinese Mingding Destiny. So if you do not know how to learn, you will be very entangled. No matter how old you are this year, learning to learn is a very good thing.

Moses was very powerful, a well-educated man of culture, not only mastering many Egyptian knowledge, but also mastering Hebrew. As early as 3,500 years ago, when he wrote Genesis, God encouraged him to promote the Israelites to learn the word of God.

I have told you about Never Compromise, Never Retreat, and Be Strong and Courageous. What are we not compromising on? We will not compromise on learning the word of God. If you do not know the word of God, you compromise at every turn; if we are not enthusiastic about learning, we will retreat at every turn, and do what our flesh likes, then it will be troublesome!

Many of us are older; we did not complete our dreams when we were young, but now we want to complete our dreams when we are old. You must know that it is best to complete your dreams in the Lord Jesus Christ today. I find that many people do not know how to learn. They are not unwilling to learn. They are very enthusiastic about learning and spend a lot of time, but the learning effect is not good. Why? Because they do not know how to learn; they are just messing around.

Today, after listening to my lecture, you will be very encouraged, because I want to tell you: There is nothing wrong with your IQ. The problem lies in your character and your learning methods. If you have a character that does not compromise or retreat, plus a learning method that is gradually renewed in knowledge, you will be incredible! Recently, many very good testimonies have occurred among us, most of which are about learning. What kind of characteristic does this represent? It represents that Chinese Mingding Destiny does not want our brothers and sisters to become ignorant people, but to become knowledgeable people who are beneficial to society.

In today's testimony, there is a sister in Europe, who is also a single mother. She went to interview for a position that she had never done before. She had absolutely no work experience in this area. The interviewer asked her: Why should I give you this job? What if you encounter pressure at work? The sister’s answers were all taught by me. As soon as the interviewer heard her answer, he thought this person was good, and the third round of interviews was waived, and the job was given to her directly.

Why was this sister able to get a job that she had never experienced before? Because this is a place of learning. Whether her learning method has been adjusted is still a question mark. What I want to say is that because she learned the seven good habits I talked about, listened to me talk about how to deal with stress, and how to learn, she used all of these. There were originally three rounds of interviews, but the third round was waived, and she got the job directly.

The Importance of Mastering Spiritual Knowledge

So I have a desire, a desire for everyone to become a knowledgeable person, not only worldly knowledge, but more importantly, spiritual knowledge. Mastering spiritual laws is essential.

There is a sister in our midst who is in her sixties and has believed in the Lord for more than 20 years. Because of her cell leader, she came to us, and she followed along. She suddenly discovered a treasure! In the past few decades, she has been a very enthusiastic person, eager to learn and eager to understand, but the church she went to did not teach, she only learned to shout Hallelujah loudly. She can also be full of enthusiasm, but she is in a state of ignorance. Recently, she signed up for the writing ministry. She does not know how to use a computer or type., because of learning, she began to try new things.

People who try new things often experience God. Because when people do new things, they need to exercise faith, but I want my brothers and sisters not to be misled by what I said. I hope you can make some breakthroughs in your learning methods, which does not mean that you are messing around blindly. There are only twenty-four hours in a day. If you do this, you cannot do that. You must figure out what you should do. You only have so many years in your life, so you must do things with the highest return. You need to learn what to do, and you need to learn how to do it even more.

Recently, in order to promote learning methods, we have created many courses, such as programming courses, speaking training, handicraft making, and training in how to be a person and how to do things. Today, you have come to us, and I must congratulate you. You have come to the right place, because this is a place that makes people grow, a place that trains people to be like the Lord Jesus. This place turns an ignorant person into a knowledgeable person and prunes people into a place that bears fruit. We teach things that schools do not teach and things that cannot be learned at work, especially learning methods.

Recently, I have found that many people in their sixties have very bad learning methods. After sixty years, they have not learned anything. What is the problem? Have they really lived out the image of Jesus Christ? They have not! An ignorant person cannot become like Jesus.

There is a mother among us whose child was diagnosed by school teachers and psychologists as having learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities. What was the situation? After many years of schooling, a person in his twenties adds two and three and suddenly equals eight, and if you stare at him, it becomes seven, and if you stare again, it becomes four, but it just does not equal five. After my teaching, he has now started working and can also do live broadcasts, accumulating a lot of fans.

In the years before he met me, his mother cried for ten years for this child. She was so helpless, but now she is full of joy. Some time ago, she told me that her son used what he learned from us in his live broadcasts.

So in the past few years, I have been studying a very important but difficult topic, which is how to make people smarter. Smart people are not those who are born smart. They are smart because they have knowledge. It is impossible to be smart without knowledge. Do not think that you can just put a USB interface on a person's head, copy and paste a U disk, and immediately have knowledge. There is no such thing! It is very difficult to get a person right, but it is also very meaningful because it can really bring people out of darkness.

Although this topic is not easy, I have persisted for many years. I have discovered surprisingly that people's IQs are about the same. There is nothing wrong with the IQ of that child who adds two and three and equals eight. What is the problem? They are all spiritual problems. How encouraging this is! It turns out we are all smart.

The Path of Renewal in Knowledge for the New Creation

Recently, I have made great progress in my research. It turns out that we are all old people, and now we have all become new creations. As a new creation, the new man must be gradually renewed in knowledge and become like the Lord Jesus. That is to say, once we accept Jesus, we begin the path of the new man being gradually renewed in knowledge. This is a path of gradual renewal, not like some people who have believed in the Lord for decades and only know one sentence: “I believe in the Lord and am saved.”

Some time ago, a sister who had believed in the Lord for decades came to us. In the church, she only learned one sentence: You have been saved. In fact, she is still a dwarf in spiritual knowledge. It must be upsetting for parents to have a dwarf at home who does not grow up. Some people grow taller, but their knowledge does not grow, which is also upsetting, let alone those who do not grow in height or knowledge, and always live in the belief that they have been saved. They do not know anything in this life, only that they have been saved. Can this save them?

Ignorance is very terrible. Today, brothers and sisters, you must know that there is nothing wrong with our IQ, attitude is our choice, and if we teach you the methods, then you will become a smart person. You must know that it is God's will to make you a smart person, to become a knowledgeable person, to be able to know the mysteries of Jesus Christ, and to be able to know the spiritual laws. What a wonderful office it is! This is my job, the mission God has entrusted to me, and the most glorious office God has given me. So we must eliminate ignorance.

A sister asked me if anyone would come to challenge me and Martin Luther. I do not think Martin Luther did a good job. Martin Luther was a great servant, but he read Romans and came up with justification by faith. In fact, Romans is not about justification by faith, but about the gospel is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. I do not think he fully understood Romans, but even if he did, I do not want to learn from Martin Luther. If I want to learn, I will learn from the apostle Paul who wrote Romans. This is a very simple principle. Emulating Jesus is the root of Chinese Mingding Destiny, and emulating the apostle Paul is also the root.

There are too many ignorant Christians that someone will challenge me. He asked me how I could not accept the Nicene Creed. It is not that I do not accept it, but it is useless. How many Christians think the Nicene Creed is amazing? I have seen many Christians who can recite the Nicene Creed like they recite the Lord's Prayer, but they run around to different churches. They are really ignorant. Reciting the Nicene Creed does not mean you have knowledge! Do you really know how rich God's glory is in Jesus Christ? That thing is useless; it has no power.

So this matter must be constantly deliberated in every way. Do not just follow what others say; otherwise, you will end up being an ignorant person. You can be a Christian for the rest of your life, but still be one who is ignorant. The Bible says a long time ago that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. (Proverbs 10:21)

There are many testimonies of growth among us. Where are they growing to? They are growing into having the image of the Lord, not the image of Martin Luther, but the image of the Lord!

Scripture

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (Colossians 3:10)

Prayer

God! Remove the wrong myths from within us, so that we can begin to be constantly and gradually renewed in this knowledge, especially in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, so that we can live out the image of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. God! Inspire us today; let there be no problem with our IQ; let us know that we can become more and more like Jesus Christ; and let us be able to reject all lies!

Colossians: Knowing the Mystery of God in Understanding and Knowledge

It turns out that being like Jesus Christ is Your heart, Your good will for us. Open our minds today; open our learning abilities! O God! Let us be filled with the knowledge of You in our understanding today! Remove the ignorance within us, and let us continue to grow in spiritual knowledge! In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Introduction to Colossians

Many people dream of being smart. Today, this matter will be accomplished! The letters written by the Apostle Paul are all about spiritual knowledge. If you want to live well, you must know one thing: spiritual things control worldly people and things. Worldly things are just a shadow of the spiritual realm. You must grasp the mysteries and basic laws of the spiritual world.

Colossians speaks very prominently about knowing the mystery of God in understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. It is not about tapping your head and feeling that you have been saved, let alone responding in a silly way. The author raises a key question to the people of the church in Colossae, which is to grow in understanding and knowledge. The author wrote several pages of paper and preserved them in the Bible. We thank God.

Many Christians just like to pursue “poof” and become another person all of a sudden, “poof” and understand everything all of a sudden, wishing they could understand everything without reading. But that is not the case. Colossians is actually talking about the body of Jesus Christ, that is, Jesus Christ and His church, complete unity in Jesus Christ. This is the mystery before the creation of the world that is being revealed to us today. If we know that we will eventually be united with Jesus Christ, then we must be gradually renewed in spiritual knowledge in this world, moving towards renewal like the Lord Jesus.

This world is discussed in many points in Colossians, highlighting knowledge and understanding. What kind of understanding? It is knowing the mystery of God, that is, everything is united in Jesus Christ. All things were created for Jesus Christ, and all things were created through Jesus Christ. You may find it a bit unacceptable, but I must tell you how wonderful it is to build His glorious church in Jesus Christ!

If we are truly in Jesus Christ, you will certainly be blessed because all the fullness of God's nature dwells in bodily form in Jesus Christ, and we have also received fullness in Him. That is why it is so wonderful to come among us and walk on the path of blessing. Blessing seems to be inevitable. Why? Because once we dwell in a church built according to the word of God, which is the body of Jesus Christ, all the fullness of God's nature dwell in bodily form in Jesus Christ, and we have also received the fullness in the church of Jesus Christ.

The question is, why did the author write Colossians? Many people do not think gradual renewal is a good thing. They think suddenly or all at once is better. As a result, they do not know how to develop the habit of worshiping angels. They think angels are very powerful. When they read 1 and 2 Peter and Jude, they will find that they are very willing to exalt angels.

Which is more noble, angels or humans? The answer is that humans are more noble. Do not think that angels are so powerful. God created man in His own image. These things on earth were created according to the things in heaven. Which is more noble, those created according to the image of God and those created according to the things in heaven? Of course, people are more noble. Which is more noble, people who have the image of God and angels? It is not easy to compare, but I tell you that people who have the image of God are more noble than animals and angels. So worshiping angels, thinking that angels are more powerful, and putting people below angels, is not that a mistake?

Second, when Paul wrote Colossians, he was also facing a group of people. What did this group of people do? They lived as Christians according to the regulations of the Old Testament.

id="h2-theimportance20of20being20gradually20renewed20in20knowledge">The Importance of Being Gradually Renewed in Knowledge

Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. (Colossians 2:23)

Self-imposed worship and the harsh treatment of the body In Paul's time, there was an idea circulating among Christians: kneeling down to pray developed calluses, so they were called old camel's knees. What effect does developing calluses and harsh treatment of the body have? It has no effect on restraining sensual indulgence. Is not doing so much ineffectiveness ignorance?

Until today, Colossians still lacks widespread understanding among Christians. There are many ineffective regulations and religions being talked about today, but in reality, there is no gradual renewal in knowledge, and there is no knowledge and understanding of God in their hearts. Colossians once again mentions one thing in all the letters written by Paul: you must put to death the deeds of your body.

The evil deeds here are to put to death the earthly members, such as sexual immorality, impurity, lust. Why? Because it is a manifestation of ignorance. People become stupid in this way. This is the introduction to Colossians. So later, after Paul finished writing so much, he said:

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (Colossians 3:10)

That is, you must be constantly renewed in knowledge and understanding and become like the Lord.

Gradually Renewing in Knowledge

Once Christians become new creations, they will become old if they do not gradually renew themselves. Anything that is not renewed will become old if left unattended. Even the magnificent and resplendent imperial palace, if neglected over time, will become overgrown with weeds and appear dilapidated. Brothers and sisters must understand that renewal is essential; anything that is not renewed is doomed. Once a person knows Jesus Christ, it's merely the beginning of a journey of gradual renewal in knowledge.

Growth is crucial. Why does our church constantly engage in pastoral care? It is to foster growth, and growth is a matter of trend. It's not about where you start. It's like the stock market starting at 1,000 points, then rising to 2,000 points, then 3,000 points and onwards to 10,000 or 50,000 points. From the Great Crash of 1929 to the present, the stock market has continually expanded.

A person grows from a child to the full stature of Jesus Christ, constantly growing in knowledge, not merely in physical stature. Conversely, if a child only grows physically, but knows nothing in knowledge, what use is it when they grow old, eat a lot, and grow a lot of flesh? Therefore, never assume that the devil can devour a spiritual child. Why doesn't the devil eliminate a person the moment they believe in the Lord? He cannot, because the Lord Jesus has the final say. Even these demons were created for the Lord Jesus.

Children must also continually grow, not according to the devil's plan, but according to God's. Even if a person has no spiritual power when they first believe, God will protect them. In fact, God will protect you at any spiritual stage. For example, there are many erroneous teachings in the church today, and some people will say that you must be careful of the breaches in your defenses, because demons will attack you through those breaches.

Upon hearing this, I searched the Bible but could not find it. I only found that God will also protect the little ones. When someone first believes in the Lord, doesn't everyone have breaches? It's like a sieve! There are breaches everywhere. When I first believed, I knew nothing, but I had this burning desire to know God. Why didn’t the devil eliminate me? It doesn't make sense! So, if God can protect a child, can't He protect an adult? However, the child must grow.

Whether a child or an adult, they must constantly grow, for that is what pleases God. To be gradually renewed in knowledge is the Christian’s responsibility. How do we renew? Renewal comes from learning. Doesn't learning require a method? If the learning method is correct, one will become increasingly healthy.

Let me talk about the misconceptions in learning. Many people immediately say, I must catch up quickly. Look, so-and-so has already learned that; I must catch up. As a result, they become more anxious and learn even slower. Many of you can relate to this. Why does the Apostle Paul speak of gradual renewal? Why not say to quickly renew in knowledge? It's not like that; it's gradual renewal.

What is gradual renewal? It's learning little by little, growing little by little; speak according to your level, don't be anxious! I often see people who don't learn well being anxious, so this is a misconception. Learning requires patience, and patience is actually faith. Learning is done step by step. If you don't learn well, it's because the learning method is incorrect.

The most important thing in learning is to clarify one thing at a time. Clarify one thing at a time, understand one thing at a time; this is the simplest learning method. I don't talk about complex things; I make things as simple as possible. Clarify and understand one thing at a time. How difficult is it to clarify one thing when doing it? Actually, it's not difficult.

Many people do well in elementary school, but fail in middle school; do well in middle school, but fail in university; do well in university, but fail in doctoral studies. Why? They didn't lay a good foundation, clarifying one thing at a time. They handle each thing in a muddled way, seeming to understand but not really understanding. If they accumulate like that, how can it not collapse in the end? Because they didn't lay a good foundation for learning.

I think those who learn well grasp the most fundamental things. There is also a bad habit in learning: always wanting to do something big right away. In fact, it's not difficult to clarify a concept using the simplest example. Don't use complex examples to illustrate a concept; clarify simple things and renew one thing at a time; how good is that!

Last night, I was training one of our co-workers, and he didn't like to do simple things, which was very upsetting. So, sometimes I scold people a little harshly. Learn little by little, how solid! You want to do complex things right away. Can you learn that way? So, many people don't learn well, can't get into university, and then go to study theology, and after studying theology, they become preachers. I don't see that as a preacher; that's harming people!

The professions of preacher and teacher are both quite dangerous! Why? Because both professions are very virtual. What does virtual mean? They don't need to build airplanes, and if the airplane can't fly; write programs, and if the program can't run. That won't do! What you do is either a mule or a horse, and it's over after a stroll. If it doesn't work, it collapses. If you build a house and it collapses, that won't do! You can't carry on. But preachers and teachers only talk.

For example, being a language teacher. Many language teachers will lose their jobs in the future. Why? Because they are not as clear as those online. Some people do a good job of presenting content online and quickly attract many fans. Preachers and teachers alike, the textbooks remain the same for decades, teaching the same things every day, without any renewal, just repeating.

I once met someone who taught me how to be a pastor. He said, Just write a hundred articles, to be exact, one hundred and four articles, and rotate them every two years. There are fifty-two Sundays in a year, so take out fifty-two articles. Preach fifty-two in the first year, fifty-two in the second year, and then repeat them again in the third year. Isn't that recycling? After hearing what he said, I felt, is there any renewal in this? Constantly recycling; can you eat the leftovers I gave you from two years ago?

Gradual Renewal: Grounded Learning and Growth

He did inspire me. I resolved to treat every sermon as a scientific research paper. Have you all noticed that even if the topics are the same, the content is different; it's all new. Because I feel that we must constantly renew, and renewal is to constantly build new things, constantly demolish old things, and then build new things again.

Gradual renewal is a very firm foundation. If it suddenly rises, it's a shoddy project; can it withstand wind and rain? It can't! 《Colossians》 talks about a very important thing：Firm foundation. If the foundation is not firm, and it's not a gradual renewal, it's troublesome. All things that have life grow gradually.

In the past, we raised a chicken, and it only grew a little in a year. After plucking the feathers, there was not much meat. Now, raising chickens is like inflating them; they grow quickly and have a lot of meat. They mature in just over two months. The chicken meat raised that way is full of hormones! Anything that exceeds the law of life itself will become bloated; that kind of thing will not be good. So, when people lay a good foundation in knowing God, clarify one thing at a time.

Chinese Mingding Destiny is to clarify these things one by one. In the process of clarifying, we found many things full of loopholes. I think our Chinese Mingding Destiny will have a profound impact on future generations, because we are more in line with the Bible than Martin Luther's set of things. Why? Because whether it's casting out demons, changing people, making people smarter, or transforming people into the image of Jesus Christ, the effects are seen with our own eyes. If you ask me if Martin Luther is like Jesus, I don't think so.

Therefore, the influence we have is to clarify the very fundamental things in faith: What is faith? What is the church? What is pastoral care? Knowing the truth of God is endless. We are not like those merchants who make a product and keep selling it without investing in any further research. For merchants, that's a good business model; it's good to keep making money, but how can that work? Doing it that way won't last long either.

Have you all grasped the key to gradual renewal? Study with your feet on the ground, don't be anxious. Carnal things are often anxious, liking to pursue suddenly. A person who can learn is sure to be pursuing gradual renewal.

Discern What Is the Good, Pleasing, and Perfect Will of God Through Renewal

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)

Every renewal is a challenge to your past self, and every renewal is the practice of faith. Every time you face new things, wanting to figure things out is a struggle. Every renewal you will experience God, our God is a God who does new things. Every day is a new day, do you think it's an exciting thing? A person experiences God throughout their life, constantly growing; what a beautiful testimony that is.

Every renewal and every breakthrough is experiencing God's help, and you will greatly need God. The basic concepts of our Chinese Mingding Destiny all come from God's revelation, from studying 《Genesis》, 《Exodus》, and so on. We talk about them differently from others, why? Because we have received a lot of revelation from God, so doing new things is an unchanging theme in our church.

In our church, we constantly do new things. Once we figure out one thing, we figure out another. How many times do we experience God in this process! In this spiritual battle, we fight one victorious battle after another. Every breakthrough and every renewal is God's grace; every growth is God's work in us. It is God who makes people grow.

Constantly Renew in Spiritual Knowledge and Wisdom

A person who has not experienced God is certainly not a person who does new things, and certainly not a person of renewal. Why? Because such a person also doesn't need God much. For example, a language teacher always uses the same lesson plan from ten years ago. As long as she repeats the lesson plan, she doesn't need God. She is no longer renewing herself, no longer challenging herself, so it is difficult to experience God. If you have not seen the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God for a long time, and you have never experienced these things, then we can basically come to the conclusion that you are not growing and renewing. If you are growing and renewing, you will definitely experience God.

All Knowledge and Wisdom Are in Jesus Christ

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. (Colossians 3:10)

The Apostle Paul wrote this, immediately circling this wisdom into spiritual knowledge. In this world, the most important thing is spiritual laws, and mastering spiritual laws is mastering the laws of all things in the world. Reading the New Testament, I came to a conclusion: establishing a church is a very glorious office, because building a church is building the body of Jesus Christ. In a church where God is present, it is being in Jesus Christ.

The most needed thing in building a church is spiritual knowledge and wisdom, but I didn't have it at first. That doesn't matter either. God constantly helps us. As long as we are willing to start seeking, putting down our pride, being gentle and humble in our hearts, always thinking that we are wrong, then God will open up heavenly wisdom, allowing me to constantly gradually renew in spiritual knowledge and wisdom.

Renewal is to renew in the old logical system. I feel that many books about building churches are not quite right. This kind of thinking of mine is called critical thinking. Because I am constantly seeking, I am constantly growing in spiritual knowledge and wisdom, gradually forming the Chinese Mingding Destiny system from the entire 《Genesis》 to 《Revelation》.

The most needed thing in building a church is spiritual knowledge and wisdom, and it is also the most knowledgeable and wise thing. Because it is inside Jesus Christ. God is really awesome! In the past year or two, God has given us a lot of inspiration. No matter what the project is, it is full of revelation from God.

Making people smarter is a spiritual thing. Why do people become foolish? It's the devil who makes people foolish! If you cast out the demons, won't people become smarter? The recognition of the spiritual realm and demons is a very important thing. As we know more and more about demons, we also know more and more about God. In the process of casting out demons, we constantly deepen our knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ, we will be more and more able to do what Jesus Christ did, and have more and more of the image of God.

In the church, there is God's rich knowledge and wisdom, and the church itself is God's wisdom. God wants to use the church to show His wisdom to this world, and the mystery of God is Jesus Christ. All wisdom is in Jesus Christ, which is why we imitate Jesus Christ to walk the path He walked. In the early days of building the church, we thought that preaching Jesus would make people come, right?

The Bible says that Jesus being lifted up and nailed to the cross will attract all people to follow Him, that is spiritual wisdom! At first, we didn't believe it, so we prepared roast chicken, roast duck, and braised beef, attracting a bunch of gluttons. In those days, the problems of the brothers and sisters in the church were very many, and they could not be solved. There were problems with work, problems with landlords when renting houses, and problems with learning. There were a lot of problems, and that was not a way to solve them. Later, we began to establish a church full of God's glory, and found that many problems were solved easily, many problems disappeared, and God was amazing.

Put to Death the Flesh and Restore the Image of the Lord

All things in the universe were created through Him and for Him, including the fallen angels. The things in heaven are all spiritual things, and the things on earth are just a shadow of the spiritual. All things must be connected to Jesus Christ, that is the key. Don't be deceived by absurd things.

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8)

Christ is the head of all things, do you want to trust Him and follow us to build His glorious church? Of course, you do. Not in other knowledge, but in the spiritual knowledge and wisdom of Jesus Christ, you must clearly know and understand that Jesus Christ is the head of all things.

Put to Death the Members of Your Earthly Body

People are born ignorant, they all learn later, and what hinders learning is our flesh. A carnal person cannot please God.

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. (Colossians 3:5-8)

If you observe carefully, you will certainly come to the conclusion that people who indulge the flesh will become foolish. Coming out of this kind of indulgence of the flesh, our gospel of Jesus Christ is to put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit, that is the key. If I can make people smarter, that would be amazing. My God will certainly remember how wholeheartedly I have striven in Jesus Christ. I strive wholeheartedly to serve God, relying on the great power of God working in me, and as a result, many people are restored to the image of the Lord.

Conclusion

You and I will be restored to the image that God created us to be, what a glorious, intelligent, and wise image that is! Never underestimate yourself. Jesus Christ is the one who makes us like Him, in what we cannot do, all things are possible in Him. Do you believe it? God is raising up a group of brothers and sisters in this generation to be like Him, like the Apostle Paul, beginning to restore the Lord's glorious image in us, not suddenly, but constantly gradually renewing in knowledge, constantly climbing spiritual peaks, and constantly knowing the truth of Jesus Christ. All the fullness in Jesus Christ will be realized in us, Amen!
