보라! 내가 새일을 행하리니

Confessing Jesus as Christ and committing to live as His disciple means renouncing one's own thoughts and experiences, embracing the mindset and reasoning according to God's Word, and earnestly seeking the guidance and fullness of the Holy Spirit. This involves fully entrusting one's life to God. The church refers not to a physical building, but to the believers themselves, and its primary function, which is worship, entails returning to God's Word itself, devoid of all forms and pretenses. Worship is actualized in the lives of believers through their engagement in reading and meditating on the Word.

When believers immerse themselves in reading and meditating on the Word, allowing God's Word to fill them, they gain a profound understanding of God's absolute sovereignty, providence, decrees, and predestination. In Christ, believers experience freedom, yet recognize that while all things are permissible, not all things are beneficial. Consequently, they lead lives fully anchored in the written Word, seeking to glorify God in all things.

God's work is not characterized by grandiose or monumental deeds but rather by believers recognizing the Word as their essential sustenance, seeking God within the Word, praying grounded in the Word, worshiping inspired by the Word, and prioritizing time for reading and meditating on the Word above all else. As believers recall the sacrificial event of God's love—His crucifixion to atone for human sin—and truly believe this act was for "me," they realize a profound shift in their understanding of time. They perceive themselves as a mere speck passing through this earth within the timeless expanse of eternity, acknowledging their existence as God's creation. Through the Word, specifically through Jesus Christ who became flesh, died, and resurrected, believers live their lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Christ. Therefore, believers find it impossible to sustain their spiritual life without consuming the Word, the essential nourishment for their soul, even if they forgo physical food.
