[Scriptures] Matthew 22:37
Love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all your will and with all your life.
There were two different paths before Jesus.
They were the path of the Lord of glory and the path of the Lord of affliction,
as was written in the Bible.
If the people of that time period believed in and accepted Jesus,
he would follow the path of glory,
but if they did not believed in and accept him,
he would walk the path of affliction.
However, the chance of Jesus being the Lord of glory
was 10% on the side of success and 90% on the side of failure.
The Savior alone cannot fulfill salvation.
It is fulfilled when others believe, follow, and take action.
However, the people who had believed in God while centering on the old Laws
failed to forsake their former ways, and disbelieved, persecuted and opposed Jesus.
Despite that, even with that slim 10% probability,
Jesus accomplished it in the end!
Through the condition of absolute love and sacrifice,
he turned the tables that had tilted toward death,
opened the path of salvation for all mankind
and made the new history, the path of the New Testament!
I pray that all of you will make the Lord your head, become his body,
and equip yourself with his mentality and thoughts completely.
I pray that you will also receive the mentality of going on the path of life even though it is difficult,
and that you will do it with all your heart, will, and life,
and become successful both in your faith and life.
