Is your God in the Bible? Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother


He is the one I know very well and love the most like my life. I went to the place of our appointment and greeted him very nicely. However, his response was cold.

 He even said, “I don’t know you.” How would you feel if you find yourself in such a situation?
You will surely feel embarrassed and might be terribly disappointed by his response.

What if the one who didn’t recognize you is “God”? 

You surely will not want to imagine that.
Unfortunately however, it’s not just an imagination.
It must happen to someone in reality.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [you workers of lawlessness: ESV]!’ (Matthew 7:21-23

It’s the word of Jesus in front of the door of the kingdom of heaven.
To whom will He say, “I never knew you. Away from me”? 
To those who did not know God?

No. Jesus will say to those who had special faith and loved Jesus, so as to say “Lord, Lord” and to act as the prophets who prophesied in the name of Jesus and performed many miracles.

Why will Jesus ignore and expel people with such faith from the kingdom of heaven?

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:3-6)

Faith starts from knowing God. Believing in God without knowing Him is no more than blind faith. Those who do not obey His commands neither have faith nor know God.

The God who is in the Bible acknowledges that we are His children if we observe God’s commandments such as the Sabbath and the Passover.

However, many people follow man-made commandments such as Sunday, Christmas and cross-idolatry.

Which God do they believe in?

The God believed by such people is another God not found in the Bible.

We are walking the path of faith with an expectation of a joyful meeting with God.
If you wish to be welcomed by God someday, you must seek “God in the Bible.”



Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible,God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the HoSly pirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 



The Queen of praises (christ ahnsahnghong &heavenly mother)

During childhood, I was a child who was not quite ordinary, a bit slow witted in every way.

Starting with my three elder brothers down to my third cousins, in a house full of talented kids, I happened to be the only child who wasn’t.

Whenever I received my report card, I felt I wanted to crawl into a hole.

I just kept on feeling dispirited.

For this slow witted child, my mother had a secret to cheer me up.

That is, to pour praises on me.

For me who wasn’t a good student, good looking, or couldn’t do anything well, her compliments made me feel so embarrassed.

“I have never seen a child who ate so well!”

“Oh,our Katie greets so well!”

“Katie,your voice is so loud and clear, it is just pleasant to hear.”

Regardless of time and place, she praised me abundantly;that I greet well, my voice is loud and clear, that I am getting taller because I eat well.

I don’t think there would be a child who grew up with much praises like me

I received much more praises than my elder brothers who were top students.

When I was in third grade, there was a reading contest.

It is like a storytelling contest held nowadays.

My mother suggested me to participate in it.

It was just after I have finished my midterm, and I felt daunted.

I’ve never thought of myself doing a storytelling in front of others.

But my mother kept on persuading me.

“In ever saw a child who could read so excitingly like you. You will definitely do well.”

She wasn’t just praising me. I felt her sincere heart.

Looking at my mother’s face, I started to think that I could do this.

I believe the story that I read was “The Tortoise and the Hare.”

I used all my energy and told the story. As if I was the hare, I jumped, and strolled like the tortoise.

The result was grand prize. This was the first award that I have received except for the awards for perfect attendance.

That day, for the first time in my life, I finally understood what confidence was about.

Mother’s love everywhere

Mother’s love everywhere
On Sunday afternoon, I had some time left after preaching.   Suddenly, ‘Roola’ brought to my mind.  She was a female youth whom I met and studied the Bible with last week, even though I couldn't see her again because of her tight schedule since then. Hoping to see her to give a brochure, I headed for the shopping mall where she works.  I thought a short time should be enough to see her but the shopping mall was literally a sea of people.  I didn't even know how long it took to find the parking space.  Various kinds of people were fully packed, gathering together with family and friends.

Normally, I used to see her from a distance and turned back, worrying if she could feel uncomfortable, since her coworker and boss were always at the store.  That day, however, Roola was the only one at the store for some reasons, despite it was a very busy day.  I sincerely gave thanks to Father and Mother.  
I passed on the brochure about the Passover and Heavenly Mother to Roola, who felt sorry not to have contacted me because of her busy schedule.  We finally decided to meet again sometime and have a bible study together.  I was going to come back to Zion but it was difficult to do that because there were many people gathered together, who should hear of the good news about Heavenly Father and Mother.  So, I decided to take a few minutes to preach the words of God and then leave.  Now that people seemed to be free afternoon, there were many people who listened to preaching. Meanwhile, one female youth started to speak after watching UCC about the Spirit and the Bride.
“Oh, I know this.  It is about God Mother, isn't it?”
“Do you know Her?”
“Yes, God the Mother.  I have heard about it.”
 
Her name was Christy and she said she has heard about Heavenly Mother when she used to go to a University from 2 hours distance.  Moving in after graduating school, she lost contact with people who used to deliver the words of God to her but now, she could hear the truth about Heavenly Mother once again.  In the United States of America consisting of 50 states, it has large land and countless people enough to say there are 50 different countries gathered.  I was so glad to meet someone who has heard of the truth in this far place.  While preaching to others after exchanging contact numbers and saying hi to her, I could meet a female youth, ‘Christine’.  However, this youth clearly remember Heavenly Mother even though she said she couldn't study the Bible that much.  I strongly felt she must be the one Heavenly Mother is anxiously searching for. That way, I was given a mission to deliver the water of life to souls who have the seeds of words in hearts, which were scattered through Mother’s love.  At that moment, I could feel how much love Mother has toward even one single soul despite he/she does not realize the truth at all.  Mother does not give up on him/her and rather with full of care and efforts, She keeps sending the messengers so he/she could hear the truth again.
 
Under the love and sacrifice of Mother who never gives up one single soul, the gospel continues to be spread around the whole world.  Now I could see what the gospel is about with Mother’s heart and mind.  That day, Mother awoke me, who used to preach the words of God from a sense of duty at some point. 
I give thanks to God who allows this sinful child to step outside today and participate in the gospel of Mother’s love

The Happy Moments for Families to Share Love Together[Christ Ahnshangong and God the Mother]


In May, called the “month of family” in Korea, when summer was just around the corner, a meaningful event was held at the Okcheon Go&Come Training Institute.

On May 10, the “2nd New Jerusalem Festival for Families” was successfully held; over 12,000 people including the members and their families from the northern areas of Gyeonggi Province were invited to the event.

Under the clear blue sky spread out like a picture, each family gathered together to share food they’d prepared.

After lunch, they spent quality time with their family, taking a look around the Institute and posing for pictures in front of the man-made waterfall pouring down cool refreshing water.

They also took a look at the photos exhibited in the main building and the education hall, through which they found out the present status of the domestic and overseas missions.

In addition, they watched a Church video containing an overview of volunteer activities on the big projector screen installed in front of the Theological Seminary.

Around 1 p.m., the welcoming ceremony began. Mother expressed Her warm welcome and gratitude to the members and their families who participated in the Festival and made the event more meaningful and successful.

She told them about the blessings of the kingdom of heaven, their spiritual home, and expressed Her wish for them to live joyful and happy lives by sharing the blessings of heaven with their loving family members.

General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim prayed for all the members of each family to be bound together in love and live in peace and harmony. Then he briefly introduced the history of the Church of God, saying that the Church of God believes in God the Mother, following the truth of the Bible.

 In addition, he expressed his hope that they would have a great time with their family members sharing love together and enjoying the beautiful weather and that they would also become bonded together in the heavenly family.

The event started with a magnificent and powerful performance by the Brass Band. It was accompanied by a medley of children’s songs, a fan dance and floral coronet dance by the cute little angels.

Their performances livened up the atmosphere of the event. Then there were performances by the Messiah Orchestra, the 38th Overseas Visiting Group and the United Choir and the Men’s Choir, and it made the event much more enjoyable.

After the performance event, traditional Korea folk games were played in the outdoor soccer field: neolttwigi (seesaw jumping), gulungsoi (trundling a hoop), tuho (arrow throwing game), jegichagi (shuttlecock kicking), ttakjichigi (slap-match game), etc.

All the members of each family, from grandparents to grandchildren, had fun playing the games in spite of the hot sun in early summer.

This day, love was in full bloom among the members of each family. All the participants returned with joy and satisfaction, saying, “We don’t get together often because each of us is so busy.Today, all of our family members have gathered together after a long time. We had a really good time.” The New Jerusalem Festival for Families will be continuously held for each Union of the local Churches.

Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible,God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother.
