[Scripture] Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.

Today is Han-ga-wee [Korean thanksgiving], which is a traditional holiday in Korea, and one of the biggest holidays. Han-ga-wee is the day of giving thanks to the ancestors after having great farming all the year round, and the day of sharing the harvest with family members.

Han-ga-wee is welcomed in this, the best season. We must spend this as a holiday to give thanksgiving and glory to God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son who created all things in nature and heaven and earth. And on the earth, I hope that you will spend this day as the day of celebration while meeting with your parents and siblings who live far apart, sharing stories of things that have happened until now and passing the time harmoniously.

Now, I will start today’s message.

You have to always clean up filthy things. Only then will you be free of disease. If trash is piled up in your house, you must throw it away. You have to make it clean by clearing away the sewage.
Waste produced inside the body has to be expelled as excrement. Otherwise, you are the only one who will suffer as a result of that.

The same is true with sin. Sin must be eliminated through repentance. It is always because of sin that judgment happens.The wages of sin is death. Therefore, you have to repent every day. Only then will you not receive the suffering resulting from sin.

Korea is the only divided nation in the entire world. It is a nation constantly overshadowed by the danger of war. We must always pray for the nation. The nation’s destiny is you own destiny.

Only someone who has experienced war knows the fear of war deep in his bones. The situation when war is about to break out is completely different from the situation when war has broken out. Once war breaks out, the situation becomes 100 percent different from that time on. People lose their minds and only then seek God out of fear.

If war breaks out, order will shatter and utter chaos will reign, it will be hard to live because electricity and water will be shut down, people will reject each other, people will try to live only for themselves, it will turn into a world of crime in no time, and people will plunder and rape, food will run out and people will starve, people will be unable to move around because the roads and transportation systems will break down, money will become worthless, and people will only try to save their own lives, even by crawling into a mouse hole if they can find one.

Once war breaks out, it will not end easily. Why? It is because one side has to surrender or die completely. If war breaks out, people will suffer 10,000 times more harm, but if there is no war, people will be 10,000 times more comfortable. Therefore, always repent for your own sins and the sins of the nation.

Now that you have heard this message and you know, I urge you to spend this Choo-suk (Korean Thanksgiving) being especially thankful to the Holy Trinity and loving Them!
