Christ coming with power and great glory - Christ Ahnsahnghong

“Great honor, praise, or distinction accorded by common consent; Something conferring honor or renown; Majestic beauty and splendor.” It is the definition of the word “glory” in the Dictionary. When someone receives an award, graduates as the top student of his/her school, has an opportunity to meet celebrities or gives honor to God… We use the word “glory” at the moment it’s very impressive, our hearts is overflowing with joy or it’s filled with beauty.

The Bible also says that God dwells in glory and He will appear in His glory when He comes to us.

A voice of one calling: “In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5)

Possibly God will fit this word best. However, the prophecy of appearing in glory came true differently from our common sense; Jesus came to the earth as an ordinary man. “Glory”, which means great honor, is far from an ordinary man. For all that, why does Jesus who came in humble flesh receive glory?

As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all mankind will see God’s salvation.‘ ” (Luke 3:4-6)

The words “the glory of God will be revealed and all mankind together will see it” are a prophecy that God will save us. It does not mean that He will appear in a glorious and majestic way outwardly but means that the appearance of God who saves us is the glory itself. It also applies to the Christ who is to appear again.

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:27-28)

Maybe many Christians are waiting for Christ coming in something majestic and splendid, looking up the sky, because there is a prophecy of coming in a cloud with power and great glory. However, it’s prophesied that Christ is to appear as a man like 2,000 years ago to save us.

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away 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. (Hebrews 9:28)

The Second Coming Christ also appears in glory because He comes to save us, even though He does not appear in a splendid and glorious appearance, contrary to many people’s expectations, but in an ordinary appearance like us.

For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory. (Psalm 102:16)

 Still Now, many christans expecting to meet God who will come with power and great glory.  However, here is the people who accept the Second Coming Christ who already have come with power and great glory according to above Bible prophecy in the World Mission Society Church of God.

But the greatest of these is love - WMSCOG love Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavnely Mother

 

For Christians, the ultimate goal of faith is salvation. To achieve this goal, the hope of the kingdom of heaven and faith based on such hope are needed. In addition, the practice of faith is the love toward God and neighbors. Therefore, love is possible only when there are the hope of the kingdom of heaven and faith behind it. God considered love as the greatest virtue of believers.

 

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

(1 Corinthians 13:13)

 

 Then, can those who have love only achieve the goal of salvation? The answer is ‘No.’ The Apostle John emphasized faith as of the most importance to get salvation.

 

 … that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. (John 3:15)

 

 However, it’s hard to reach salvation with faith alone. Today’s Christians fall in this error. An expression of faith requires the hope of the kingdom of heaven.

 

 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:7)

 

 That is, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without having the hope of eternal life. ‘The greatest of these are love,’ ‘whoever believes in him may have eternal life,’ ‘we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life’: Among these words, what should we follow to get salvation? Since the greatest is love, is it enough to have love alone? Or, is it okay to have only faith since it’s written, ‘whoever believes in him may have eternal life’?

 

 We must think about organic combination among faith, hope and love. If faith and hope are missing from love, it’s not different from the one who eats sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) after separating salt (NaCl) into each element (Na and Cl.) When edible salt is divided into sodium and chlorine, they become harmful materials. Therefore, we can achieve the goal of salvation by practicing love based on faith and hope.

 

 In addition, there is one thing we should remember: Love toward God must be go first with regard to the practice of love. Loving neighbors based on such love is the whole duty of Christians.

 

 

Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40)

 

 Are there any Christians who do not love God? However, love with lips only is not love which loves God.

 

 If you love me, you will obey what I command. (John 14:15)

 

 Salvation begins with obeying God’s commandments. Obeying what God commanded enables us to love Him and is the top priority of believers who wish to enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

People aming to enter Heaven should obey God's commandments. Otherwise, we can not say "I love God". For the perfect salvation of your soul, Come to the World Mission Society Church of God which observe all God's commandments.
