[Scriptures] Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
When you look at Jesus’ sermons, they were educational sermons that enabled people to understand and thus take action, since failure results from ignorance or not taking action despite having the knowledge. They were messages that inspired people to take action.
After hearing Jesus’ Word, people said that he did not teach like priests or scribes,
but that his Word was really great and authoritative.
However, if people are accustomed to a particular constitution and their brains have fixed perceptions, even if authoritative Word that can bring them the sun, the moon, and the stars is given, they refuse to accept it even when something better is given to them. Instead, they choose and delight in things that fit their constitution and what is already in their perceptions.
Each person sees, evaluates, assigns value, delights in and chooses according to the level of knowledge they have and according to the perceptions in their brains.
When choosing clothes, when choosing a car, when choosing various artwork, and when choosing people, human beings choose according to their level and according to the perceptions in their brains.
Even if you tell them something better, they say they don’t like it.
It is because they evaluate and assign value
according to their level and according to the perceptions in their brains.
I hope that all of you will raise your level
by perfectly forming the perceptions in your brains through God’s Words.
