Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 21:27 21:27. But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.The things that may not enter the New Jerusalem are as follows:
- Anything that defiles, namely the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
- Anything that causes an abomination.
Proverbs 16:5
16:5. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.
It means being proud in heart. He becomes arrogant and disobedient, so he cannot be advised and rebuked.

17:15. He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
- A lie.
1 John 4:20
4:20. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Saying, 'I love God,' and hating others means having no love.
1 Corinthians 16:22
16:22. If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
It means that he does not love or prioritize God but becomes unfaithful and leaves the ministry to God.
Matthew 25:40-41
25:40. "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
25:41. "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
It also means that he cannot give to others who are in need.
Consequently, he experiences the curse atmosphere, namely weariness, heavy burdens, labor, tears, and bitterness.
That is why we must minister in God's love, so we have eternal love.
How can we have the love of God?
- We must become obedient to the true teaching Word.

14:15. "If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Isaiah 52:11-12
52:11. Depart! Depart! Go out from there, Touch no unclean thing; Go out from the midst of her, Be clean, You who bear the vessels of the LORD.
52:12. For you shall not go out with haste, Nor go by flight; For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
We are entrusted to uplift the Ark of Covenant. It means that we are used in the revival of the building of the body of Christ, starting from marriage, shepherding, inter shepherding until the Israelites and Gentiles become one body of Christ.
As a result, we shall not go out with haste but experience peace. God protects and takes care of our life in the wilderness of the world.
- We must worship God.
Matthew 17:1-2
17:1. Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
17:2. and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
In prayer, we experience the tearing of the flesh with all of its lusts, so we can receive God's love which is like the sun.
The usefulnesses of the love as the sun are as follows:
- Changing us up to shining as the sun.
Matthew 13:43
13:43. "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Having the light means that there is no darkness. It means being honest.
We can love others. We just do the good thing, and do not harm others.
Matthew 5:43-45
5:43. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
5:44. "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
5:45. "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
We even love others who harm or make hostility toward us.
- Fighting against the overcast or dark cloud or the rain of temptation, namely the impossible problems, until there isthe rainbow of the glory of God.
Ezekiel 1:28
1:28. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking..
God finishes all of impossible problems in our life. He gives the stable faith and extra power to pass the tempest of the world.
Psalm 23:4
23:4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
God lifts us up from the fall into sins and the peak by hearing the hard teaching Word that shows our sin.
Psalm 51:1
51:1. <<To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Davidwhen Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.>>
God lifts us up from the failure to become success and beauty.
God blesses us.
