Lord' s Pray ④

『Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 』 What Jesus tells us in the Lord's Prayer is not to ask for anything in the world. People are now living on earth, but what people ask of their heavenly Father is to fulfill what God has planned since the creation. Many do not know about God.

People say that God is omnipotent, but humans think of God as their omnipotent. God created the world and it was "very good" in God's eyes. People believe that God is omnipotent. However, if God tried to create the world perfectly, but he understood that Satan was involved and the world must be destroyed because of human error, they did not regard God as “all-powerful”.

It is like thinking that God's omnipotence can be changed by some external factor. This is God's omnipotence in the human way, not really knowing about God's omnipotence. Although people believe that God created all things in this world, perfect and blessed, they are forced to think that "God must destroy this world."

Only God is good. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus also speaks with a rich young man, saying, "Only God is good," but people think that God judges good and evil. It is not judgment, but everything but God is evil. People misunderstand that God is involved in evil as people misunderstand God as good and evil.

To judge evil, one must know about evil. Knowing evil means "experientially knowing evil." God has nothing to do with evil. There is no evil in the kingdom of God. "Leaving from God" is evil. There is no good and no evil before God. Evil is Satan who left God. Followers of Satan are evil.

Escape from God is evil. People do not know about the goodness of God. These are the ones who drop God's name to the ground. Therefore, we must know well about God's omnipotence and God's absolute goodness. If we believe in almighty God, we must believe that God "planned from creation to the end." Satan's intervention or human error does not transform God's creation.

God has accomplished the will in heaven. God's will is said in John (6:40).『 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 』 The Bible says in Ephesians (1: 4-5):『 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will』

God's will is that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved, and this will be established before the foundation of the world. God did not make this will for those who are holy and unblemished, but for those who are faulty and unholy. A blemished and unholy person is one who has left God. Why did God mean this when nothing happened before the creation? When we say that God knows and made this will about what will happen after creation, it is as if God's creation is not perfect but will be transformed. This will bring forth the results of an omnipotent, good God in vain.

Satan's opposition to God occurred before the creation of the world. By the way, does it make sense to say that nothing happened before the creation of the world, and that it was expected to happen after creation, and that God had planned in advance? If God knew beforehand that man would fall after creation, why did he leave the Son of God even to die on the cross? Those who do not believe in the Son of God must enter hell. If God had known of man's fall beforehand, wouldn't God change it so that man did not fall? This makes it impossible to say, "The God of perfect good."

When did God intend to presume Christ and save all who believe in him? The word before creation means eternity. The meaning of eternity is taken by humans as meaning "endless time." Human thought cannot escape this. Eternity cannot be understood within the concept of time and space because it is not in the spirit world.

The world of time and space is different from the world of eternity. However, people try to understand the world of eternity based on the world of time and space. The material world exists to express the spirit world. God created the material world for this. Jesus said, "I have come to save the one who is trapped in darkness."The prisoner of darkness was originally a spirit in Christ.

Why is the spirit in Christ in darkness? Says in John (1: 9).

『That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world』 The Bible says in John 1: 5.『 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.』 Darkness as used here and darkness as used in Genesis (1: 2) are synonymous.『And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 』

Because there was no light, it was shining in the dark. As Jesus shined in darkness, Jesus Christ, the light of life, was shining on human beings in darkness, indicating that Jesus came in darkness. The darkness in Genesis is the darkness of the world. The world without God is darkness.

Jesus says in John (6:63):『 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 』
