Who is your master?
Is it you? Is it Jesus?

Who do you trust and live by?
Do you live by believing in yourself, money, or skills?
Or do you truly believe in Jesus and live?

“The answer is with Jesus!”
Am I still the master of my life?
Now, give that place to 'Jesus'.

Does our life have Jesus as the Lord?
It depends a lot on whether you are invited or not.
Our lives become greater as we accept Jesus as our Lord.
“Who is the master of your life? Is it still you?”

“Sin is the life I live as the master of.
Who do you rely on for your life? Yourself? God? If you rely on yourself, you are a sinner.
The greatest sinner in this world is the one who believes that what he has is his own, and lives relying on himself as if he were God.
It is a great blessing to know that I am a sinner.
It is a great blessing to know that I cannot live a single moment without God's help.
You should no longer live relying on yourself.
'But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not rely on ourselves but on God who raises the dead' (2 Corinthians 1:9).
The root of sin is that I live as I please.
Sin is not the fruit of sin, but rather the 'me' that has turned away from God.
“There is hope for those who know they are sinners.”

“If you believe in Jesus as Christ (Messiah) and Savior, you must also give up your life as the master and accept Jesus as your master.
That is how all sins are solved.
'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord' (Romans 6:23).
The way to get rid of sin is to take out the source of sin, me, and believe in Christ (Messiah), who paid the price for the sins we committed on the cross, and now accept Jesus, who lives without sin, as our Lord.
The way to achieve salvation every day is to live each day with Jesus as your Lord.
While believing in Jesus as your Savior, you must also live each day with Jesus as your Lord and work toward complete salvation with fear and trembling.
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only as in my presence but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12).
Salvation is received the moment you believe in Jesus, but you must work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
“You can’t say that once you believe, you are unconditionally saved.”

“Most churchgoers don’t go to bars.
I don't even go to a fortune teller's house.
I do not bow down before idols.
But it is easy to commit the sins of strife, jealousy, factions, and divisions.
It is no different from idolatry, jealousy, or strife.
It is an equally serious sin.
Romans 1 says that pride, boasting, plotting evil, disobeying parents, and being ruthless are all punishable by death.
When I reflect on myself with these words, there is nothing that does not bother me.
But we live without repentance, thinking that once we believe in Jesus, we are saved.
This is like someone who says that once you've bathed, you don't need to wash your face or bathe again.
“He who does not repent is truly a person who stinks.”
_ From page 116, “There is no salvation without repentance”

“But the question is, what does the fact that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected two thousand years ago have to do with me?
There are many people in the church who know about the resurrection of Jesus.
I believe without doubt that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected three days later.
However, we cannot simply know the resurrection as a historical fact that occurred in Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
We must believe that the resurrected Jesus is alive now.
Knowing that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected as a historical fact is one thing, but believing that Jesus died for my sins and is now alive through resurrection is a completely different matter.
No matter how long you have been attending church, if you do not believe in the living Jesus, you cannot be saved.
Many Christians today do not believe in or experience the resurrected and living Jesus.
So, we live a lukewarm life of faith.
That person cannot be saved.
Are you in the faith?
Test yourselves and prove yourselves.
Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you?
Otherwise you are rejected' (2 Corinthians 13:5).
The important thing is that the resurrected Jesus must live in me now.
Otherwise our faith is fake.
Anyone who lives a life of faith without the resurrected Jesus living within them must be in serious trouble.
“If the resurrected Jesus does not live within me now, there is no excitement, no thrill, no happiness in my life of faith.”

“Even though we believe in Jesus, we still make mistakes and still commit sins.
Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit to help us in our weaknesses.
If you accept Jesus as your Lord at every moment and seek the help of the Holy Spirit, you will live as a victorious Christian with the help of the Holy Spirit.
No one can maintain salvation by his own strength or efforts without the help of the Holy Spirit.
We are saved by believing in Jesus.
To maintain the salvation you have received, you must accept Jesus as your Lord and seek the help of the Holy Spirit.
Salvation through faith in Jesus is a grace bestowed upon us by God.
It is also a grace that Jesus becomes our Lord.
It is a tremendous miracle and a great grace that Jesus, the King of kings, came into our lowly and humble bodies and lived there.
Our salvation is entirely by God's grace.
“You can live today with that grace.”
