Changing the world one heart at a time

This is the only way

This is a testimony of a member of SCJ (Shinchonji Church of Jesus).

I've been a Christian since the first day I was born. My dad was a pastor since I could ever remember so going to church everyday and living at church was normal for me. I became a Christian at first not because I believed that this was the only way but because I was born into it. It wasn't until later that I chose to be a Christian and realized that this is the only way to life. Although I knew that God created us and that Jesus was our savior, I was always curious about the Bible since I was little and most of the time didn't understand what the Bible was talking about. If I asked any of my bible study teachers or pastors they would all just say "HAVE FAITH!" "God will answer all the questions you have when you get to heaven."

I remember in 6th grade, I attended a Christian private school and during bible study class I asked, "if Adam and Eve are truly the first person then who did Cain and Abel marry to carry on the generations?" And I remember she told me that Cain and Abel had children with Eve. When I heard that at first I thought to myself, "so God is okay with incest?" But later, I comforted myself saying that she was a bible study teacher so she would know better than I would. Know I realize how wrong that is to interpret the Bible in human's thinking.

To be truly honest, I didn't really seek God and Jesus. I just went to church as a pastor's kid, and just thought as long as I believed in Jesus, that he died on the cross, I would be saved and go to heaven. Then it all happened at once. My dad who was a pastor cheated on my mom with another church member and my parents got divorced. Now it was just my mom, my brother and me, alone. I really hated God at that point. I thought everything that happened was because of him and I blamed everything on God. I didn't even go to church for about two years until I calmed down and realized that I really needed God. God was the only person that I could rely on.

About one year ago my friend told me that she was doing bible study and it was the best that she has ever heard. She couldn't stop talking about how this study answered all her questions that she ever had about the Bible. As I heard this from her, I wanted to find out for myself. I started this Bible Study and the Bible study teacher explained the Bible so clearly and so easily as if it was something written so plainly in the Bible all along. I asked her, and myself "how come I didn't realize this when I was reading the Bible before?" Later realizing that the book was sealed and was only interpreted by man's thinking. Coming this far, I realized that the scroll is now open and open by the one who overcomes who has the Spirit of Counselor. That is the physical fulfillment that I see today. A old man being able to teach the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven that is hidden in parables, including the word of Revelation and its fulfillment. Just his words alone are a fulfillment that I see today. Jesus said, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in my only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me." (Jn 12:44-45) When I see the one who overcomes with the Spirit of Counselor, then it's the same as seeing the Spirit of Counselor. Just like at the time of the Old Testament, the Israelites had to follow the one promised pastor Jesus who was promised in the O.T. to gain eternal life (Jn 5:39), the Christians today at the time of the N.T. must meet the promised pastor that the Spirit of Counselor in one with in order to gain eternal life.

God's orchestration to bring me to the only truth amazes me and makes me thank Him everyday. The appointed time has come and the words of prophecies are being fulfilled. Being able to see that with my own eyes and being here today gives me great joy and makes me realize that I must be very humble and I really hope that anyone reading this will really come and listen to this open Word. Your faith will not be built on your thinking, but rather the TRUE WORD! In Hos 6:7 it says, "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burn offering." It is time that we really seek God and try our hardest to KNOW him so ultimately we may enter into heaven and gain eternal life.
