Until Christ is Formed in You 5

Elohim Gods give us spring water for cleansing

Now we must hurry up and prepare ourselves so that Christ may be formed in us. Even though our personality does not change overnight, we need to try harder, giving up negative thinking: "I can't do.' If we only have Father and Mother in us, all our problems will be solved.
Through the Bible, let's see Father and Mother cleansing us from sin and impurity.
Zech 13:1 『"On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity."』
Zech 14:8 『"On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter."』
Ezek 36:24-26 『" ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.' "』
It is God our Father, the Holy Spirit, who has come in the name of David in this age. And the Jerusalem above represents our Mother (Gal 4:26). The Bible says that a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. According to this prophecy, our heavenly Father and Mother are cleansing Their children, who abide in Them, from sin and impurity, with the water of life.
God cleanses us with the living water and puts a new spirit in us. He removes from us our heart of stone, which makes us get offended or angry over words that hurt us even in the smallest way and makes us turn away from the truth, and gives us a heart of flesh. This is possible when we have our heavenly Father and Mother?the spring of living water?in us. When we always think of Father and Mother and consider carefully Their will, we can be changed into the image of Christ, as the people who are taught by Him.
Rev 22:17 『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.』
Father and Mother call us to take the water of life freely. We, who are invited to this banquet, should always have Father and Mother within us. Let us view everything that has nothing to do with our salvation, such as quarrelling, anger and impatience, in the light of the will of Father and Mother. ‘If Father and Mother were in this situation, would They get angry and speak harshly? Would They neglect Their ministry of preaching the gospel because of things like this?' Let us always ask our Father and Mother in us.
I see my brothers and sisters in Zion becoming perfect in faith day after day by putting their faith into action. I hear many say that they would get angry easily towards brothers and sisters over trifle things before but now all the Church members look so beautiful to them and their only hope is that all the members will keep the faith till the end and go to heaven together. Those who do not have the heart of God may consider them foolish and scoff at them. However, we are to have God at our center and try to live in accordance with the teachings of God.
It is not easy to have Christ formed in us. However, God gives generously to us if we ask Him. Let us earnestly ask Father and Mother, so that They will always live in us. Then we will be able to spread the aroma of Christ throughout the whole world. By having Christ be fully formed in us, let's lead many souls to salvation.

Until Christ is Formed in You 4

Living the life Christ taught us to live

God's saints, who keep the commandments of God, should put what He taught them into practice. If Father and Mother live in us, we should put our whole heart and soul into saving mankind just like our Father and Mother who left Their splendid glory and came to this earth to save us.

Eph 4:17-32 『… You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. … "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. … Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. … Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.』
God told us to live a righteous and holy life, loving each other. He never taught us to indulge in dissipation, jealousy and complaint. We need to carefully examine ourselves and see if we are living the way Christ taught us. Without going through this process, no one can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Let us be kind and compassionate to one another. If Father and Mother live in our hearts, we will be indifferent to anger or jealousy and try our hardest to lead our brothers and sisters along the right path to salvation by putting God into their hearts, although we suffer the pain of childbirth, as did the Apostle Paul. When our hearts are moved by such meaningful work, each of us can be called a true Christian with the heart of Christ.
Father and Mother have sealed us with the promised Holy Spirit and made us children of promise, so that we may inherit the kingdom of heaven. As Isaac received Abraham's inheritance, so we are given the promise of God, being called "children of promise like Isaac" (Gal 4:28). What if we neglect God's word, easily become hot-tempered and greedy, thinking that we are going to heaven because we have received the promise of God? Can we enter heaven? Certainly not. God says that even a blessed person will be deprived of the blessing given to him if he becomes unworthy of it and will be judged according to His words.
