With so many Christian churches nowadays, How can we decipher which one is the correct one to go to? Many people say as long as any of them preach about Jesus than it is alright to attend any of them. But what did Jesus say 2,000 years ago?
Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
According to the word Jesus spoke Himself, not every Christian will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Then that must mean that not every Church will follow Christ correctly or even follow him at all. Jesus also said:
John 8:31To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
What is this truth that will set us free? And what will be free from?
Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin,
Psalms 102:19 "The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."
Then since we are prisoners of sin and death, then what is this truth that will set us free and where can we find this truth?
Jesus said if we hold on to His teachings then we will know the truth and the truth will set us free...Then what did He teach?
John 6:54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Since the wages of sin is death(Ro6:23) then we are all slaves to sin and death because we cannot escape them. However, if we eat Jesus' Flesh and Blood then we can be forgiven of our sins which in turn would remove the penalty of death.
Matthew 26:17
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Then one of Jesus' teaching is to celebrate the Passover for the forgiveness of sins. Through this teaching we can be set free from sin and death. Then where can we celebrate the true Passover that Jesus Christ taught?
Isaiah 33:20
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem,
Isaiah 33:21
There the LORD will be our Mighty One.
Isaiah 33:24
No one living in Zion will say, "I am ill"; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.
Only in Zion can we be forgiven of our sins. According to the Bible only through the Passover can we be forgiven of our sins. Then Zion must be the church that celebrates the Passover and God's Festivals.
Leviticus 23
1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
The Sabbath
The Passover and Unleavened Bread
Firstfruits
Feast of Weeks
Feast of Trumpets
Day of Atonement
Feast of Tabernacles
Psalm 87:5
Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her."
Only God Himself can establish the Church with God's Festivals. Christ AhnsahngHong came in 1948 and reestablished all the Feasts of God that were abolished in order to establish the true church that is in the Bible. Christ AhnSahngHong set up the Church of God which is also Zion. Then who must He be? The Most High Himself! Then what does the Bible say we should do after we know where Zion is?
Jeremiah 4:6
Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay!
God said we have to flee to Zion! Then we should flee to Church of God and know more about our savior Christ AhnsahnGhong, God Almighty, who freed us from sin and death and reestablished Zion.
