[Matthew 20:20-28]
God is the Father.
He demonstrated
how much He loves His Son (Mt 3:16-17).
Since God appointed His Son for His own will,
the Son is at the center of the Father’s will (Jn 6:39-).
Hence,
God created all things by His Son (He 1:3),
established the Law for His Son (Gal 3:18),
and prepared the cross for His Son (Mt 16:21).
And in order to have mankind,
which are His creations,
live with God forever (Jn 3:16),
He gave them eternal life, that is, His grace (Ep 2:8).
God did not give us a religion
but Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
He came not to be served,
but to serve (Mt 20:28).
True faith is to accept His grace
and be served by Jesus.
○ If one feels burdened to believe in Jesus, that is unbelief.
One must regard it a blessing to believe in Jesus,
for that is true faith and the will of God.
○ Rely on the merits of Jesus.
The merits of Jesus are righteousness.
Fill your soul with the righteousness of Jesus.
○ Receive the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit helps us.
Our faith is about receiving the help of the Holy Spirit.
※ Have faith.
Be served by Jesus.
Receive the love of Jesus.
