30.7 Pursue diligently, see the truth clearly, and trust that the Lord loves us the most (2)
Satan is the father of lies. He continuously uses false doctrines and concepts in this world to affect us. We definitely need the truth.

The Song of Solomon chapter 5 mentions the weakness of the darling. The darling repres
30.6 Pursue diligently, see the truth clearly, and trust that the Lord loves us the most (1)

In addition to listening to messages, we ought to dr

The Lord said when He was lifted up from the earth, He would draw all people to Himsel

The devil uses a lot of false teachings such as original sin, and various wrong concepts in this world to mislead us into thinking that God has reservations in His love towards us. Man failed because of his doubts in God’s love. We need to be transformed by the renewal of our mind. To do so, we must trust in God’s word, and use His word to replace the wrong concepts in our minds and thoughts. Li
30.3 The focus of Satan’s deception: making us not to believe that God loves us the most.
Satan has disrupted the relationship between man and God from the beginning. It’s written in Genesis how he tempted Adam and Eve. It’s also written in Job how he accused God and man. Satan uses many misconceptions, accusations and shadows to make us think that God does not love us the most. We are in a spiritual battle, therefore, we must use God’s word to help ourselves and strive to stand agai
30.2 Faith is based on truth
It is written in Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” For us, the Lord Jesus was born, lived, and died. Forever He is no longer God alone.

Our lives and eternity should be built upon the Lord and His word. The phra

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit truly love us very much. The Bible shows us a lot of evidence about this, including the fact that we’re created in the image of God. In addition, the Lord’ became a man for us forever. This shows how closely God can be connected to man even though God is a divine being. We are united with the Lord. When we believed in the Lord, we immediately enjoyed all t
29.5 See how the Lord loves us (2)
In John 21:15-17, the Lord addressed Peter three times by saying “Simon, son of John.” This shows that the Lord knew about Peter’s whole life and his background. It also shows that the Lord knows all about our lives. What He wants from us is our heart and our love. His desire for us is the same as when He asked Peter, “Do you love me?” Satan will try to destroy our relationship with God by alienat
29.4 See how the Lord loves us (1)
From Luke 22:31-34, the Lord foretold Peter's denial, and He prayed for Peter in advance. He also knew that Peter would turn back to Him again and be able to strengthen his brothers. The Lord was full of hope for Peter. Though Peter fell, the Lord’s personal love for him did not diminish even a bit. Furthermore, it’s written in John how the Lord helped those who had a personal encounter with H
29.3 See that God meets me in His steadfast love and exults over me with loud singing (2)
It’s very important for us to know how to behold—to see God’s true image and how He treats us. When we come before God, we can first think that He meets us in His steadfast love. Hand in hand, He walks with us. Abba even kisses us with many kisses. Furthermore, the Father meets us with the love which He has loved the Lord, because there is the deepest affection between God and us! We can also cons
29.2 See that God meets me in His steadfast love and exults over me with loud singing (1)
David wrote Psalm 59. Verse 10 tells us that God in His steadfast love will meet me. David knew about God’s affection very well. He asked the Lord for just one thing - to gaze upon the Lord’s beauty for his entire life. We truly need to see the help of God’s countenance. Zephaniah 3:17 tells us that God is the mighty one who will save. What’s even more precious is that He will exult over you with
29.1 Behold the Father
One of God’s purposes for creating fathers on earth is to help us understand the heavenly Father’s affection. However, the fathers who have bad examples on earth can cause us to have wrong concepts about God. We ought to know the Father’s true image by His words, and how He treats us. For example, it’s written in the Gospel of John that the Father is seeking true worshipers who will worship Him in
28.4 Confirming the importance of drawing near to God
A lot of scripture talks about the preciousness and importance of drawing near to God. For instance, David only sought after one thing, which was to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord; Enoch walked with God for 300 years; Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to His teaching. This is the good portion, and it’s absolutely necessary. Many Bible passages also tell us that the Lord desires us to draw

The Lord expressed His love desire to Abba, and that we would be with Him where He wa
27.2 Meditate on who you are in the infinite Lord’s loving heart (2)

Second, the Lord keeps the scar of love on His body forever for us. Third, the Lord has established the feast of love for us for our entire lives. He has established a new covenant with His blood. Fourth, the Lord is preparing the most beautiful new home f
27.1 Meditate on who you are in the infinite Lord’s loving heart (1)
Song 6:10 and 8:5 refer to the darling by asking , “who is this?” Let us realize who we are by referring to the Song of Solomon. Firstly, Song of Solomon is indeed a great book. It is the greatest and most precious book. . Secondly, from this book we know we belong to the Lord, and His desire is for us. Thirdly, the Lord treasures that we belong to Him. Out of this love, He did not remain as God o
26.5 The life of a priest
There are many mentions of priests eating the offerings in Leviticus. This tells us that we need to draw near to God, experience Him, worship and praise God every day because the Lord is the bread of life. When we live out the life of a priest, we also need to come before God. As written in Exodus, God desired to meet with the people of Israel at the altar of burnt offerings, the altar of incense,
26.4 We are a royal priesthood (2)
It’s written in Revelation chapter 1 that the Lord has freed us from our sins by His blood and made us priests to His God and Father. 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 9 tells us that we are more than priests. We are a royal priesthood, who have the honor of kings. We are kings. We are no longer in darkness. We have entered into the marvelous light. We can bring many to salvation, help them to draw near to
26.3 We are a royal priesthood (1)
The core of God’s will is for us to be the closest to Him. And this is the most important aspect of living out the priesthood. Prior to the law, the heads of a household often made sacrificial offerings for the families. In other words, they were the priests for their families. Today, we are a royal priesthood. We receive even greater blessings than the kings in the Old Testament times. Moreover,
26.2 The Lord is the High Priest
Psalm 110 tells us that God has sworn and will not change His mind to appoint the Lord as our High Priest forever. This shows the Father’s determination. He was pleased to crush His Son in order to gain us. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were pleased to accomplish this. Hebrews chapter 8, verse 1 mentions that the Lord is the High Priest and is seated at the right hand of the Father, beca

25.2 The Father and Son Affection (Part 1)
In Genesis, the experience between Jacob and his son, Joseph, illustrates Abba’s love toward us. Jacob wept for Joseph. He longed to see his face. After Jacob found him, he said that since he had seen Joseph’s face, he could die now. Abba’s love to us is greater than Jacob’s love toward Joseph. Isaac, whose name means “laughter,” expresses that we are Abba’s joy and delight. Moreover, Psalm 59:10
25.1 The Lord Came to Make Known the Father
The Lord came to the earth for us. He became a man forever and died for us. He also manifested the Father’s love and made Abba known in our hearts. In Gospel John, the Lord mentioned many times that the Father had sent Him. In Luke 15, the merciful father ran to embrace the prodigal son while he was still a long way off. His father had actually been waiting for him all along. This parable tells us
24.4 God’s preparation for us
Our Lord Jesus is the Lamb of God. It’s so precious that God will prepare for us the marriage supper of the Lamb. Both John chapter 14 and Hebrews chapter 11 tell us that the Lord is preparing a better place for us, the New Jerusalem. The Lord had already prepared for us His salvation. As written in Luke chapter 2, Simeon said that he had seen God’s salvation when he saw the child Jesus. During ou
24.3 Genesis 22: The Lord will provide
It’s so precious that God’s name is “The Lord will provide.” This name tells us that the infinite God has provided for us abundantly.

Hebrews 10:4-7 tells us God prepared a body for the Lord. This tells us that the Lord would become a ma
24.2 Genesis 22: For us, the Father gave His only Son
Genesis chapter 22 tells how God prepared a ram for Abraham on the mountain. This foretold how Abba prepared for us His only beloved Son as the lamb of God, to redeem us, to bear the punishment and be forsaken by God. The latter part of Genesis chapter 22 mentions Rebekah. This foretold the Lord becoming our Beloved. The Holy Spirit leads us to the Lord. God surely gave us His own Son, and graciou
24.1 Genesis 22: Father and Son went together
Genesis chapter 22 is very special. The event of Abraham offering Isaac as a burnt sacrifice depicts how the Father forsook His only begotten Son. This chapter foretold what the Father and the Son would undergo to accomplish the salvation. For instance, Isaac, the only son of Abraham, represents that Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Father. The journey taken by Abraham and Isaac together to M
23.9 New Jerusalem is a real city (5)
We can compare and contrast the books of Genesis and Revelation. It’s so precious that for our ancestors, God prepared the garden of Eden. In the garden, there was the tree of life and all kinds of plants and animals. All of these were real. And for us, God has prepared the New Jerusalem. Revelation chapter 2, verse 17 mentions “a white stone” and “a new name” showing His personal love to each one

Revelation 21:16-17 writes about the gates, the wall and the dimensions of the city, indicating that it is a real city. Its length, width and height written on verses 21 to 27 are equal, showing that this city is the true form of the reality represented b
23.6 New Jerusalem is a real city (2)
2 Corinthians chapter 12 gives an account of Paul being caught up into paradise, the new Jerusalem, which is a real city. Galatians 4:26 also mentions “the Jerusalem above,” hence it's clear that this is not referring to the church, but the city. Revelation chapters 21 and 22 state “these words are trustworthy and true” when mentioning the new Jerusalem. We know that new heavens and the new earth
23.4 Are physical substances not spiritual?
It is incorrect to say that physical substances are not spiritual. Physical substances are indeed a key part in God’s will. Genesis chapters 1 and 2 gave an account of God’s creation of this physical world. “And God saw that it was good” again and again. When the Lord came to this world, the Word became flesh. He appeared in the flesh. After His resurrection, He has a glorious resurrected body. In
23.3 Satan causes man not to be clear and assured about the things in heaven
Revelation chapter 13, verses 5 and 6 tells that Satan utters blasphemies against God, blaspheming His name and His dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

It is the final destination of our life journey and
23.5 New Jerusalem is a real city (1)
In John 14: 1-3, the Lord said He prepared for us the Father’s house, the New Jerusalem. Clearly, the Lord was referring to a real dwelling place. Hebrews chapter 11 tells us that Abraham and many old saints desired a better country, and God had prepared for them a city. Hebrews 13: 14 tells us that New Jerusalem is a lasting city. All these scriptures confirm that New Jerusalem is a real city.
23.2 Is the heavenly new Jerusalem a real city?
Revelation chapters 21 and 22 talk about New Jerusalem as the completion of God’s will. This is very important! Unfortunately, some mistaken it as a symbolic expression, and some think it only refers to the church. It states clearly in Hebrews 12: 22-24 that firstly, when we draw near to God or pray, we aim toward heaven, not inside of a person; secondly, New Jerusalem is a real city, because ther
