Until Christ is Formed in You 2

Be the image and aroma of Christ

If we have God within us, God's will and work will be revealed through our actions. If anyone wears perfume, the scent will be emitted from him or her. Likewise, if we have God within us, we will emit the aroma of God.
Those who embrace Elohim Gods have a burning fervor to save all mankind just as They do. They have the aroma of heavenly Father and Mother, who do not break a bruised reed and do not snuff out a smoldering wick, who love Their children and patiently wait for them to turn to the way of repentance and salvation.
Through all ages, many people have made every effort to cultivate their minds and hearts, but none of them have attained a perfect personality by their own efforts. Our personality naturally changes if we have God within us. Only when Christ lives in us, we are able to participate in the "divine nature" (2 Pet 1:4). Since the Apostle Paul realized it fully, he spared no efforts until Christ lived in him and until Christ was formed in the saints.

Gal 4:17-19 『… My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,』

The saints of the Early Church went through a lot of trial and error until God was formed in them. As they did not fully receive God into their hearts, some members of the Churches in Corinth, Galatia, etc., went astray; some of them loved this world and deserted the truth like Demas. Paul's heart ached for them, and he willingly went through the pains of childbirth for the saints until Christ was completely formed in their mind.
Unless God is formed in us, we cannot become partakers of the divine nature described in the Bible. As Jesus said, "If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit" (John 15:5), we can bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit if we become one with God. So God said through the Apostle Paul as follows:

Until Christ is Formed in You 1

On the day when God tells us to cease all our efforts, each of us will look back at our past years of laboring. All the traces of the gospel which we have left will be recorded in heaven and we will be judged to see if we have walked the path of faith deserving the blessings of heaven.
Before that day sweeps on like chaff, we have to reflect upon whether or not we are fully prepared to enter into the kingdom of heaven. As we look into the parable of the ten virgins in the Bible, the five were ready and met the bridegroom, while the other five were not fully prepared and missed their chance to get into the wedding banquet (Matt 25:1-13).
There are lots of things we have to prepare. First and foremost, we must have God in us to the fullest. It is important whether or not we fully rely on God. We should avoid all kinds of worldly thoughts and desires that lead to eternal death and always dwell in God rather than waste our God-given time doing meaningless things. Believing firmly that all the prophecies written in the Bible will surely be fulfilled, we are to put more effort into saving souls, without wasting a minute?not even a second.
Our body is the temple of God
Every saint of God is a place where God dwells?the temple of God. We, God's people, are to always put God in the center of our life and be holy, as God is holy.

1 Cor 3:16-17 『Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.』

The above verse says that if anyone defiles God's temple, God will destroy him. The temple of God is defiled by idolatry. When we look at the Old Testament history, we can see that when the temple of God was filled with all sorts of idols, it provoked God to anger and brought disaster. On the contrary, Kings Hezekiah and Josiah purified the temple by destroying all the idols through the Passover, so that they were blessed by God.
Unless we correctly understand God who lives in us, we come to commit foolish acts of worshiping idols instead of God. It is just like the Israelites claimed to serve God but worshiped all sorts of idols such as Baal and Asherah in the temple, not realizing that fact.
Keeping in mind that we are God's temple, we are to perform our function as the temple of God?as the temple of the LORD in the age of the Father, as the temple of Jesus Christ in the age of the Son and as the temple of the Spirit and the Bride?Elohim Gods?in the age of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul always had God within him.

Gal 2:20 『"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."』

Gal 6:14-17 『May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. … Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 』

"I have been crucified with Christ." By these words Paul meant that he had died spiritually to himself. When I myself am crucified and dead to sin and only when Christ lives in me, I can be a true Christian.
Paul made lots of efforts to help God's people fill their hearts with Christ, not with worldly things, teaching them God's word, giving them hope for heaven and confessing his faith in public. By doing so, he began to imitate Christ in His suffering.

The 27th Overseas Visiting Group from North, Central and South America, Oceania and Russia

God bless you! Dios lo bendiga mucho! 符媚 乃符玘萄酪玘 萄! !
Brothers and sisters share greetings in four foreign languages at the New Jerusalem Temple. They are all the members of the heavenly family, who understand each other in God's love just by looking at each other.

The 27th Overseas Visiting Group came to Korea to see Mother the new Jerusalem, their spiritual home. On October 22, 80 members successively arrived in Korea from fifteen cities in eight countries?from Russia , from Central and South America in the Southern Hemisphere on the opposite side of the world from Korea , from six cities in the United States , and from New Zealand . During their stay in Korea , they studied the words of truth and experienced God's love as well as brotherly love at the New Jerusalem Temple, the Head Office and the Training Institute.
From early in the morning till midnight, Mother welcomed all the members, who flew from afar like doves to their nests, with Her constant love. A sister from Peru said that when she approached Mother, she was worried because she thought, Will Mother say I love you' to a sinner like me? She expressed the overwhelming emotion she experienced, saying, My heart felt like it was going to burst when Mother hugged me, saying, Te amo (I love you).'
Mother appreciated the efforts of the overseas members who came such a long way. She told them about the work of the Holy Spirit of the latter rain that occurred during the Feast of Tabernacles, and blessed them, saying, Receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit abundantly and bear much good fruit pleasing to God as great workers when you go back.
The members from Peru, Mexico, USA and New Zealand, along with the members from Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Russia who made their first visit to Korea, asked blessings for the Churches rather than for their own wishes, and desired that the world mission be quickly accomplished. Members from eight countries studied together and gave thanks and glory to God, encouraging each other and sharing fragrances of Zion .

On October 29, they participated in the Awards Ceremony for the Fruits During the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles, together with over 17,000 members in Korea , and witnessed the current status of the gospel accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. When Mother said, Let the fire of the Holy Spirit keep burning and lead many souls to heaven with burning love, they said, Amen, and their hearts were also burning within themselves. They showed their determination towards the gospel, saying, The fire of the Holy Spirit is burning in our hearts hotter than during the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles. We will diligently preach the new covenant of life and find all our lost heavenly family members.

The next day, the overseas members visited the Church of God History Museum and were all overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. Watching videos with captions translated in English, Spanish and Russian, and hearing the guides' explanations, they inscribed the love of heavenly Father and Mother deep into their hearts. Their eyes welled up with tears when they said, Our souls have come to life through the suffering and sacrifice of our Father and Mother. We will follow the sacrificial path of Christ and bear beautiful fruit of the gospel.

Mother blessed the overseas visiting group, saying, If you return home, bear much fruit and receive much love from Father. Cherishing Mother's love and the overwhelming emotions through the Holy Spirit in their hearts, they departed from Korea . They said, We could feel we were being touched more deeply by the Holy Spirit day by day during our stay in Korea . They will spread the blazing fire of the Holy Spirit after they go back to their country, and their enthusiasm for the gospel will accelerate the speed of world evangelism.

24thTo Korea, the Nest for Heavenly Family, Where Mother Dwells




New York, Colorado
2008.05.15~05.26


In May, known as “family month” in Korea, some members from America visited Korea and shared the true love of the heavenly family.
They felt at home in Korea, the country in the east, which is filled with the sacrifice of God Elohim. They improved their knowledge and understanding of the truth at the Elohim Training Institute and in some other places, and engraved God’s love deep in their hearts. They also shared brotherly love with Korean members, keeping the services at the New Jerusalem Temple, the Seogu Church in Daejeon and the Dongdaemun Church in Seoul. Through their visit to the Church of God History Museum, they saw the sacrificial path that Father and Mother had walked, and reaffirmed their will for the gospel.
Mother comforted Her children who had flown like doves as the prophetic heroes even in difficult situations, and blessed them, saying, “Be the great prophets by preaching God’s love to the whole world.”
