Christ Ahnsahnghong came in
flesh to give us eternal life through the Passover of the New Covenant.
World Mission Society
Church of God believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong as Second Coming Christ because
he re-established the Passover of the New Covenant.
Growing
up I was always taught that when Christ returns the rapture will take place and
we will all be lifted up to heaven. So since this is something that has been
taught since childhood, there is already a trust established through those who
told me.
Something
about it bothered me though. I know that God is merciful, but even though I
claimed to be a Christian, I can’t really say that I lived the life of one….but
since I claimed my belief in Christ I wondered “will I still go to heaven?”
This
question lingered in my mind from time to time but I never bothered to
question. I just followed as I was told.
But
there should first be one question: According to the Bible, what is the reason
for Christ’s coming, even for the first time.
Not
until coming to World Mission Society Church of God did I truly understand
God’s will and purpose for coming to this earth in the flesh.
Heb.
2:14~15 『Since the children have flesh and blood,
he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he
might destroy him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil- and free
those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.』
If
you really think about it, it’s true. We as people live in fear of death, if we
didn’t fear death there wouldn’t be a need for medical research and healthy
lifestyles. But the Bible says that when Christ
came, he came to destroy the power of death thus leaving us fearless; or so we
should be.
This
was the purpose of Christ Coming. Then how did he destroy death?
Jn.
6:54 『I tell you the truth whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal
life and I will raise him up at the last day.』
Because we, the children of God are in the flesh, God, our
Father, came to this earth in the same way and by shedding his blood for us, we
are given the promise of eternal life. But we have to receive his blood. How can I be called a
child of my parents if I don’t share in their bloodline? I am my Father and
Mother’s daughter by proof because we have the same DNA.
Then
in the same way, in order for the children of God
to become true children of God, we must also share in the bloodline; so God
came in the flesh.
Through the flesh and blood of Christ we become children of God.
But Christ said
we have to eat his flesh and blood. Then before having his flesh and blood in
me, I cannot truly say I am a child of God.
WHAT IS THE WAY?!
I can
now say, never before going to the Church of God had I truly received God’s
word, God’s true word. The point was completely missed. What is more important
than eternal life? Nothing. Not anything in this life can compare to the life
that God promises us who are still living in fear of death.
Then How? How did Christ promise us his
flesh and blood?
Lk.
22:15~20 『I have eagerly desired to
eat this Passover with you ...
And he took bread gave thanks and broke it
and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given
for you do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way after the supper he took
the cup saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in my
blood which is poured out for you.”』
By giving the disciples his flesh and blood through the
Passover, Christ was giving them his life, his blood, letting them know that
they are true children of God. Apostle Paul continued on preaching the
importance of the Passover, because it is the root of God’s blessing and grace
for us; God’s great love.
When
Passover was abolished in A.D 325, Christians no longer followed the teachings
of Christ, rather the religion was indoctrinated and adopted the teachings of
men rather than what Christ himself gave us to receive eternal life.
This
is why Apostle Paul prophesied that in the future, Christ must appear again.
Heb.
9:28 『So Christ
was sacrificed once to bear the sins of many people and he will appear a second time not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for
him.』
….
and so he came.
Why MUST Christ appear again? Because, we NEED the Passover in
order to receive eternal life. According
to the Bible Christ himself will bring us salvation. Salvation is eternal life
- eternal life is given through the blood of Christ - the blood of Christ is
given to us through the Passover. This is the true word of God. There is no other word other
than God’s word that can say we no longer have to fear death.
When
Christ appeared a second time the Passover was restored and the Church of God
has been once again established for the children who will inherit the kingdom
of heaven.
When
the questions are asked, the answers are given. Christ Ahnsahnghong re-established the
Passover of the new covenant, then without denial, through the word
of God, I know…. “Surely, he is our God.”
