I’m so thankful that we can share the word online.

Let us read the scriptures.

Genesis 19:23-38

“23 
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD  out of
heaven;
25 
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which
grew upon the ground.
26 
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28 
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and,
lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham,
and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he
feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to
come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our
father.
33 
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her
father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester
night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him,
that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him;
and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 
And the first-born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites
unto this day.
38 
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the
children of Ammon unto this day.”

As we read the Bible, we can see that it describes the world of our heart - the world of
humans; that is the difference between other books and the Bible.
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

When you read the Korean Bible, the expressions are so explicit; we can see that God precisely
knows about our hearts. Today, I want to talk about Abraham.

In Genesis chapter 12, God told Abraham “Get out of thy country and thine kindred and
father’s house unto a land that I will show thee and I will make thee a great nation and I will
make thee great.” There were many people living on earth; however, God was looking for
someone real and He chose Abraham. Jesus Christ was born from the children of Abraham and
the whole world was blessed through Jesus Christ - that was God’s plan.

Abraham, he was not alone; he was with his cousin Lot. The relationship between Lot
and Abraham is described in the Bible and it is expressed so vividly. When I was saved, my big
brother was saved, my big sister, my younger brothers, and my father, they all received salvation.
I told you many times how my father was saved but my father, he is very considerate; when there
was a war and everyone was escaping, my father, he just stayed at home. And I asked my father
“Father, are we not going to evacuate?” and my father would say: “Let’s wait because we do
not have a map” - so, my father lived in the town all his life. He went to other cities at least once
in his life so, he didn’t know where to go.

We would have been exposed to danger if we joined the crowd of people who were
leaving to take refuge. While he thought about where to go, a North-American soldier came
down to our town. My father passed away after I got married; when I had my son and my
daughter that year, my father passed away; he was 80 years old. Between my father and I, there
were many conflicts and different opinions; instead of believing in Jesus, my father would
choose his friends – it was unimaginable for my father to abandon his friends for God. And he
would say: “Son, I will believe Jesus next spring because in fall, my friend’s son is getting
married and there is going to be a big party; I have to drink there, I have to be there. Spring
came and he would say: “I will believe in fall because, I have my friend’s 70 th birthday party
and there will be a big party. After the party, I will believe in Jesus”. - That is what my father
said.

I lived with my father for six months in a small house in Daegu and after my brother left
for Japan, there was nothing I wanted than for my father to believe in Jesus as his assurance into
the kingdom of heaven. I wanted nothing more than that. But my father, he was completely
different; I will say something to my father and my father will say, “Hey! Don’t worry I can go
to heaven.” But how can you go to heaven? “But why can’t I go to heaven, I have saved many
people and many lives during the Korean War. When I stand before God and he asks me what
did you do, I will tell him that I’ve done several righteous things; I’ve saved many lives God, I
will say that” - my father had that righteousness in his heart. He was very considerate of others.
He was very selfless yet, always a burden for me because he would not believe. He couldn’t
understand.
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

Abraham was chosen by God and he entered the land of Canaan with Lot. The problem
was that Abraham and Lot had different hearts. Why was that so? Abraham was close to God and
he had the promise of God but Lot, he was just following his uncle to the land of Canaan. The
problem was that Lot did not have faith and he couldn’t understand Abraham.

There was a student of the prophet, Elisha, who had faith but his wife did not have the
same faith towards God - they had differences in opinions. It came to pass that one of the sons of
the prophet passed away, so the wife became a widow. The wife did not have faith and she could
not serve God without faith. Now that the husband was gone, she did not have faith and had no
other way so she departed. ‘Hey, I am sorry, I wanted to serve God with my husband but I don’t
have faith; it doesn’t work no matter how hard I try - it’s so hard, I’m sorry’.

The heart with faith and the heart without faith are different. Even those people who
don’t have faith can go to church, they can pray, they can give offering and they can do those
things, but without faith, the heart is completely different. Those who have faith - it’s not about
how brilliant you are nor how able you are - that’s completely different from faith. If you have
faith, you would believe that your thoughts are wrong. You can put down your thoughts and you
can accept the heart of Jesus. That’s having faith.

Let us look at the words of Hebrews 10:16, “This is the covenant that I would make
with them after those days saith the Lord, I would put my laws into their hearts and in their
minds will I write them”. When we believe God - you do not believe that through the thoughts
that you have right now, but what God did was that He put his laws in our hearts and minds - He
wrote his laws. For those who believe in God with a humble and a sacrificing heart, it’s not those
hearts that is important. Whatever you do, instead of taking your thoughts, those with faith live
with the laws of God. If you do not have God’s heart in your heart, you can pretend to believe in
God but you cannot reach the level of faith, because you live with your own thoughts and ways.
In 1962, I was blessed with meeting with Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sins. Before then, I
had failed in every single thing in my life; the last thing I did was to apply for the position of
technical sergeant but I failed because my front tooth was broken and I was in deep despair
because there was nothing I could do. I came into a conclusion that I would completely fail if I
followed my own thoughts.
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

Among the ministers in the Good News Mission, there are good, intelligent and selfless
people but no matter how good they are, it is completely different from spiritual life. You have to
have the heart of God: “My thoughts are not your thoughts neither are My ways your ways saith
the Lord.” When a man and a woman, who love each other get married, they live in happiness
and everything is fine; however, as long as they live together and love each other, when they
have different hearts, they have conflict. There are moments like that right? “You are my sun,
you are my everything, I can’t live without you”. People say that but sometimes there are
conflicts and that is when the problems occur. People, as we live in this world which Satan rules
over, because we are led by God, no matter how hard I try to faithfully believe in God, your own
effort is not enough – that is why God says: “…I would put my laws in their heart and in their
minds I would write them…”. When we accept God’s laws, record and write them our heart, then
that person would say: “Until now, I have lived with my thoughts but I would let it down and
pick up God’s heart. Praying, giving offering, praising, witnessing and testifying, anyone can do
those good deeds; however, “…I would put my heart into their hearts and in their minds would I
write them”. Accepting God’s heart into mine is the most important thing. As I read the Bible, I
accept God’s words and I experience something that is more powerful guiding my life.

Once upon a time, there was a man in China who lived in the mountains - he used to sell
charcoal; he spent all his life in the mountain, in the woods. One day, a certain man lost his way
in the woods and he (the mountain dweller) gave him shelter for three days and that person
believed in Jesus. The two married couple there listened to the gospel and believed in Jesus. The
traveler took off and the couple, they believed Jesus. They would pray before they took breakfast
every morning. One day, in the winter (very cold), they took out this hard liquor, poured some
into a cup and they prayed and offered it and said: “Amen”. And when they were picking up the
spoon to have breakfast, the husband said: ‘Honey, today as I prayed, our Lord was not very
comfortable; I could feel that. Did you feel that too? “Yes I felt it too”. Is there something that
we did yesterday? Nothing. There is something that is different, maybe this liquor. Let’s put it
away and pray again.’ So, they put it away and prayed and they were comfortable. They did not
drink liquor from that day.
When they drunk the liquor, they were uncomfortable so they did not drink it from that day.
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

One day, they came out to town and said: “Hey! I heard there is a church in the town, let’s go
and have our service there; let’s go and meet the pastor”. So, they went to the church and met
the pastor and explained to the pastor: we are living in the woods and we met a traveler and he
preached the gospel to us”.

And they asked a question… “Pastor, if you are a Christian, are you not allowed to drink?” So
the pastor thought; “They live in the woods and they have to drink because it’s so cold in the
woods”. So the pastor said: “You can drink”. And the man asked: “Is that so?” And he asked
again: “Hey, pastor! What kind of liquor do you drink?” And the pastor said: “I’m sorry, I don’t
drink!” And the man said: “Yes! That’s right…. the traveler who was lost, he told me to believe
in Jesus so I believed in Jesus and from that day, I have the Lord in my heart. Whenever I tried
to drink, the Lord inside of me is very uncomfortable so I stopped drinking.”
And the pastor asked: “Oh! is that so”? The man continued… “So I was wondering if your Lord
also allows you to drink but it’s the same, so it’s correct”.

These people don’t really know about the Bible but if they are in the woods and they just
believe in Jesus, Jesus comes to their heart. And Jesus, the Lord in their heart, did not want them
to drink. The man said: “Since our Lord came into our heart, we have changed and have become
a new creation”. I would say: “I will quit drinking, I will quit smoking, I will quit gambling”. It’s
not your effort! But when Jesus comes into your heart, it is different.

When I was 19, we were so poor and so hungry; so I would steal from other people’s
fields - potatoes and fruits and I would feel guilty every day. In the next morning, I would repent
and pray to God but in the afternoon, I would steal food again. But one day, I felt in my heart
that up until now (19 years of my life), I had failed in everything. There was not one thing that I
was well of. “I should not believe in my thoughts, I should not believe in myself, I’m a failure
and I have failed in everything.”

I received salvation (the forgiveness of sins). It was the same Bible that I was reading
before I received salvation. Before I received salvation I thought that I was a sinner, so I prayed
every day that God should forgive my sins, but I read the Bible and the Bible said I’m not a
sinner, “I will not remember their sins and iniquities”. “For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God. Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”.

I would think I have stolen things, I’m a robber, I have sinned, so I’m a sinner. I would
think that because I have sinned, for me, I was a sinner. I would pray: I’m a filthy sinner, please
forgive me. That is what I would do every day; but the Bible says that my sins were forgiven -
“…he was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification”.

There are many parts in the Bible that tell me that I am righteous, that I am justified, I am
not a sinner. For me, I feel like I am a filthy sinner but the Bible says that I am not a sinner – I
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

am righteous. If I am a man of God, I should believe what God says. There are some parts of the
Bible that says that we are sinners; however, though we have sinned, Jesus was crucified on the
cross to forgive our sins, so we are justified. Then, I am not a sinner anymore; God says I am
righteous, and God says my sins are forgiven. - then I am not a sinner.

In Hebrews 10:14 it says: “For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are
sanctified”. For one offering, because Jesus was crucified as an offering, the Bible says we are
sanctified and perfect forever. No matter how much I sinned, when God says we have no more
sinned, I would believe as a man who believes in God that I am not a sinner anymore.

As I read the Bible once, twice, three times, it was different.

Abraham and Lot were uncle and a cousin respectively. Abraham left his father’s land
and they came to the land of Canaan. On the outside, it seemed Abraham’s land had no
difference because both left their land and came to the land of Canaan. However, Abraham had
faith but Lot did not so their hearts could not be united.

As a couple, if one believes in Jesus but the other does not, there will be so many
conflicts. Sometimes, the woman believes in Jesus but the man does not. Before they marry, they
would say that they will believe in Jesus; but in reality, it is different. Jesus and Satan are
different. That is why those who believe in God and those who don’t, their hearts are completely
different. On the outside, they can be friends but for those who are born again, God leads their
hearts. Those who have not been born again, Satan leads their hearts. On the outside, they both
pray, they both give offering, they both go to church but they are different.

Until I was 19 years old and I received salvation, I thought that I was a sinner; because I
would lie and steal everyday - I had a heavy burden of sin. As I read the Bible, I saw that I was a
sinner. I would pray every day for the forgiveness of sins; however, that is not what the Bible
says. Even though I have sinned, even though I am filled with sin, stolen many things and lied
many times, but when Jesus was crucified on the cross, my sins were washed away eternally.
Eternally! And they say we are righteous! And Jesus said: “…see my side and the print of the
nails… see the crowns on my forehead - this is for the forgiveness of sins of yours that is why
you are righteous, you are holy and you are clean”.

What am I? Who are you to go against God and confront him? If God says you are
righteous, then you are righteous; if God says you are holy, you are holy. If Jesus washes you
clean, then you are clean; that is what I believe in from that day on. Until that day, I thought that
if I sinned then I was a sinner, but if I was clean then I was clean; however, the judgement of
God states that I was clean. I say this often that in Romans 3:23 it says: “For all have sinned…”;
however, in 24, it says: “…being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus…”, so we are justified freely by his grace, Amen. Even though I have sinned, God
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

knows that precisely but regardless of myself, Jesus redeemed me and justified me. If God says
that I am justified, I cannot confront him but accept the fact that I am justified. Before then,
because I sinned, I said that I am a sinner, but even though I think I am a sinner, God says that I
am righteous. If God says that I am righteous, then I should follow His words.

I told my sister: “Hey! Sister, I am righteous” and she asked: “Hey! Ock Soo, what
happened to you? You should be humble; even the pastors and elders say that they are sinners
but if you say that you are righteous, then you are being arrogant and your spiritual life has a
problem” I told my sister: ‘Hey! if the Bible says that I am righteous, am I not righteous? “Hey!
Ock Soo, think about it, all the elders and pastors, they all say they are sinners; please don’t
embarrass us’ but my sister eventually received salvation - she has passed on. As a believer of
God, if God says that I am righteous but I don’t say I am righteous, then I call God a liar. I do not
know many things but I have sinned, I have lied, I have stolen things but in the Bible, God told
me that I am righteous and he does not condemn me. If the Bible says so, am I not righteous? In
my thought, I am a sinner but in God’s word, I am righteous; so I believe God’s words.

Abraham took Lot to the land of Canaan, a fertile land but the shepherds had conflicts
and Lot would gather all the shepherds and say:
“Hey! Hey! what’s the problem? Why are you having this conflict?” And the herdsmen
will say this and that… Hey! step out of it, this is all my uncle’s land; come to your
senses. Hey! if you cause trouble, it is going to be troublesome for me; hey! think about
all the blessings we have received because of my uncle; you can’t yield, do you
understand? Hey! but there are sheep and a lion will come furious. Hey! I am telling you,
if we stay with my uncle, we will receive blessing because he is with God. If you cause
any trouble, I’m going to beat you up.”

If Lot could have said that, there would have been no conflicts; however, even though Lot was
blessed because of Abraham, Lot caused troubles. He was full of complains because he was
greedy - he wanted his sheep to go to the greener pastures and cleaner water. So, Abraham told
Lot: “Hey! separate thyself, if you take the left, I will go right and if you take the right, I will go
left”. And Lot came back home and told his wife: “My uncle tells us to separate and part our
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

ways; and Lot’s wife would say: “Yes, no problem; we can go to the greener land, it will be fine.
Don’t worry, now, your uncle is nothing; we have our sheep too”.

Lot chose Sodom and Gomorrah and Abraham went to the mountains - it was a very
difficult condition for Abraham to raise sheep there. So, Lot and Abraham part ways because
their hearts were different. Even though people come to church, those with God in their hearts
and those without God are separated. Lot went to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah with a
thought that it was a land of blessing but it turned out that it was full of sin; it was a cursed land.

Lot met robbers and was taken into captivity and he lost all his fortune. Abraham heard
that and he went to save Lot but Lot continually went to the ways of the flesh. Sodom and
Gomorrah was cursed; God was overthrowing the city but Lot was there. Abraham prayed for
Lot and an angel went to Sodom and Gomorrah and he (the angel) told Lot to take all his family
and run from the city - they had to evacuate but Lot was said: “Hey! let’s go, the city is going to
be overthrown; we have to first escape the city” but the sons of Lot felt that he was joking. “It is
nonsense! Why would God overthrow the city; don’t worry, it is okay”. They didn’t understand,
they thought that Lot was maybe drunk; and nobody would listen to Lot. They were his sons in
law but they would not listen to him concerning the impending disaster. Lot and his family came
out of the city and God told them not to look back but Lot’s wife looked back and became a
pillar of salt.

When people can earn a lot of money and live in a good house, they are well off and
satisfied - everyone is like that but they do not know of God. If Lot was with Abraham, he would
not have been in captivity; he would have not been in Sodom and Gomorra and his family would
have been happily married, but look at what happened to Lot - his life was in such a misery and
he did not realise it.

If you want to live spiritual life, you have to read the Bible; however, what is more
important is that even though it is the same thought, you have to distinguish the thought that
Satan gives you from the thought that the Holy Ghost gives you; they are completely different.
The thought that Satan gives us guides us and drags us to destruction; everything that is with
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

Satan, God will overthrow it - that is why you have to let down your thoughts and that is why
you have to believe the Bible and the word as it is. If the Bible says that we are righteous, then
we are righteous.
I started saying that I am righteous since 1962 and it is not because I do not sin any more.
In the 1950s and 1960s, we were so poor and hungry and we would steal from people’s fields
and gardens - I have sinned many times. If look at myself, I can never say that I am righteous,
but what does the Bible say: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God… being
justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”, that is why I can say
that I am justified.
Even now, I have those memories of stealing and committing sin; but when God says that
I am righteous then what is right? Is God’s word right or my thought is right? No matter how I
feel or regardless of how I think, if God says that I am justified, then I am justified.

As we preach the gospel, there were many times that I feel sorry and sad. When I was in
Daejeon there was a very old brother; his mother was very smart - she was working as a
government official and so she was very clever but she said that our church was a cult. So, the
brother said: “Mother, why don’t we go for a trip?” The brother took his mother to Daedeok
retreat centre. When they arrived, she got out of the car (there were many people there) and
there, she realised that it was a retreat. So, she asked her son: “Hey! you took me to your retreat
right?” - she was angry.

“Mother, you came all the way here; why don’t you meet pastor Ock Soo Park?” And she said:
“Hey! I don’t see why not; let us go and meet Pastor Ock Soo Park”.

So we met and sat down. Mrs, you say you believe in Jesus but you say you are a sinner right?
So I told her to please open up the Bible to Isaiah chapter 53:6 – “We all like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned everyone to his own way and the Lord has lay on him the iniquities of us
all”.

The verse 5 and 6 talk about Jesus; it says that “…the Lord has laid on him the iniquities of us
all.” So I told her that our iniquities have been laid on Jesus. I asked her to read this verse - “All
you like sheep have gone astray…” she read it and I asked her: “Are you still a sinner?” she
said “Yeah, I am a sinner” Oh, please, read this verse once again; “Are you a sinner?” “Of
course we are all sinners”. So, I asked her, “Why don’t you believe the word?” and she said:
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

“What do you mean that I don’t believe the word?” Well, if you believe the Bible, please read
what it is written in Isaiah 53 - “We all like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to
his own way”. “So are you still a sinner?” And she was quiet. Hey! madam, please look, in the
Bible, Jesus was crucified on the cross because of our sins, but if we say that we are still sinners,
then we deny Jesus’ words and we insult him.

Jesus has perfectly done his job and washed our sins eternally. The sister was shocked;
she would look in the Bible and read the verse once and twice. No matter how many times she
looked it, it still said: “The Lord has laid on Jesus the iniquities of us all”. So our iniquities, our
sins are laid upon Jesus. When I read this verse, I say: “Jesus, you are right”. But before I would
say that I have received salvation and have washed my sins only with my lips; something the
Bible clearly tells us.

Abraham and Lot came to the promised land, the land of Canaan, the same way that Lot
had the desire of the world, but Abraham looked up to the Lord. Although they lived together,
but Abraham and Lot had completely different hearts. Abraham once said that even though he
wanted to stay with his loving cousin but they were so different so, they had to part ways. “…if
you go to the left hand side, I will go to the right and if you go to the right hand side, I will go to
the left.; let us part ways”.

So, Lot chose to go to Sodom and Gomorrah because it looked good; and his neighbors
went into the mountains. Even though the situation was difficult and horrible, Abraham was well
off. But for Lot, disasters came into his life. Instead of him (Lot) to have thanked Abraham for
saving him, he still went on his ways. Look at what happened to Lot when the city was
overthrown; he couldn’t even save his sons-in-laws. His wife become a pillar of salt, all his
fortune – his life savings were burned down in the city. His two daughters had affairs with their
father and begat sons. Look at how dark Lot’s life turned out to be. Because Abraham was a man
of blessing, if Lot just stayed there with Abraham, he would have received his (Abraham’s)
blessing as well; Lot separated himself so that he may be well off but it didn’t work out well. He
was in captivity, he was captured, and he was robbed. The city was overthrown and he lost
everything - he lost his wife; and his life was in complete misery.

There is a complete difference in those who live with the heart of God and those who live
with their own hearts. Like Judas Iscariot, when the demon entered into him and gave him a
certain thought, he sold off Jesus. If you have the heart of Jesus, you will live the life of Jesus in
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

this world and bear fruits in front of God. In Lot’s sight and his eyes, he thought that he was wise
and full of hope; however, he lost everything in the end and his life became so miserable.

Lot is the image of people who desert God and follow the worldly ways. The people - the
brothers and sisters in our church are not the same; they are all different. Nowadays, people
normally think that if you come to church, if you give offering, if you read the Bible and if you
pray, then you are well off and being a good Christian but that is not true. You have to deny your
thought and throw it away. I know how filthy my life is and I know how filthy my thoughts are;
so, I have no choice to put it down and throw it away and take Jesus’ words. If the Bible says
that I am righteous, I believe it. I do not believe in my thought; I believe the word of God and
amazingly, He works in my heart – it is such a graceful thing. Who does God look for in these
times? Those who believe in God to bless them.

No matter how much sin we have, if God says we are righteous, we have to believe
God’s word. Even though it is raining, if God says it is not raining, we have to believe God’s
word. [At a feast in Galilee] Even though you pour the water but if Jesus says that it is wine,
you have to believe that it is wine regardless of your judgment. Those who believe in God do not
follow their thoughts and believe God’s words at the same time; because our thoughts are
different from God’s. Those who do not believe in God cannot believe. No matter who you are
and no matter what you are, if God says that you are holy, then you are holy; if God says that
you are righteous, then you are righteous and if God says that he will not remember our sins
anymore, our sins are not remembered. God wants you to believe His word; you should put down
your thoughts and accept the word of God.

Abraham made mistakes but he became an ancestor of faith. But Lot followed his own
ways and he thought he would be well off; he thought he would be better than Abraham but he
lost everything including his wife – he ended up in complete misery. Brothers and Sisters, like
Lot and his wife there are more people who want to increase their wealth - they want to earn
more money and become well off. But Abraham, he looked up to God over those things. When
Sarah was taken in captivity, God sent Sarah back and He changed Abraham’s heart to believe
that he (Abraham), could bare a son; that is how Abraham became a man of God.
19-04-20 Sunday Sermon Rev. Ock Soo Park

I am a Pastor; I see many people who come to church but follow the path of Lot and a
few who follow the path of Abraham. Who does God look for? It is not those who are clean,
diligent and devoting; but God looks for those who deny themselves and rely upon Him. When
God sent Abraham to Canaan, he went to Canaan. Now, we are all in the land of Canaan having
become people that please God.

My loving brothers and sisters, there are so many thoughts that cross our minds every day
- many of them are from Satan, so let us not believe in our thoughts; let us read the Bible verse
by verse. I hope that you accept God’s heart and the words and you will become one with Him.
No matter what you do, put it down, throw it away, and reunite your heart with God’s. God says
that your sins are forgiven and washed; but there are many people who still say that they are
sinners. If you say that you are a sinner, if you are still a sinner, then Jesus died on the cross in
vain; but that is not true - Jesus washed all our sins away. Let us live this life of faith, let us walk
down the path of faith and let us walk down the path of Abraham.

Let us have a moment of prayer.
