Ruth Kim - A Letter from Christ

A Letter from God

Nowadays people no longer write a handwritten letter, instead they send text message or e-mail with one another. Usually it’s believed that the handwritten letter contains what they think of some issues, how much they take care of others, what message they want to tell and that it shows their heart. More precisely as we just read the letter, we can even notice the personality or character of writer.

 

In the Bible, God called us ‘a letter from Christ’. Why did He say that? We can notice God’s will, saying ‘We are the letters from Christ’, that God’s children have to show and reflect God’s real love towards the world how much He love people and who we ought to be and how we should act to help people understand Christ and believe in God Elohim; Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

2Co 3:1~3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

As the letters of God and the letters from Christ, what message ought we to deliver to the world? Basically we need to deliver God’s laws such as the Sabbath of weekly feast and the seven feasts of three times annually kept, to say nothing of the Passover. In the New Covenant, God wrote His commands on the human hearts with the Spirit of the living God as prophesies long ago in the time of Moses through which His people recognize the Savior and be saved, being forgiven their grievous sins.

Mt 26:26~28 While 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.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”

Also mainly we have show God’s love and sacrifice, leading them to God Elohim so that people can understand why they were born in the world of darkness and how they can go back to heavenly hometown. As God said, after losing the saltiness, it will be hard to make it salty again. Therefore as the salt of the earth, we try to contain the saltiness to make the better world, and as the light of the world, we try to give light to everyone who’re seeking God in the harsh world.

Mt 5:13~15 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden and it gives light to everyone in the house.

We’re the letter from Christ. We’re the letter sent by God. As God’s letters, we have to become the ones God will be proud of and show the God’s will throughout the world, containing God true love and grace so that people can witness clearly with their own eyes and come under the wings of love of Heavenly Parents.
