Realizing the love of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem fills my eyes with tears. I think about people in this world and how selfish and vain people have become. No one helps one another out and everyone seeks their own gain. How can anyone find hope in this world? But how amazing that true God has come to this earth once again to allow me to understand heaven my home, and given me forgiveness of sins to enter heaven. God is so merciful that They have gone through everything so that our souls can live. The sacrifice of Christ Ahnsahnghong is like no other in this earth. For 37 years, He preached about the kingdom of heaven and forgivness of sins, walking the path of sacrifice. Although Father worked all day, he would still preach the gospel, climbing mountains to find the lost sinners from heaven.
The bible talks about God's great love, through the Passover. [Luke 22: 15 I have eargerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer] Christ eagerly desired to eat the Passover because it is through the Passover that we recieve eternal life and become children of the kingdom of heaven. God's promise is that we may have eternal life (1 John 2:27). No matter how grievous our sin was in heaven, God still wants to give us redepmtion and They have through Their flesh and blood. Who else in this world would sacrifice all their life for me. Only God would go through so much love and sacrifice so that my soul can be saved.
Through Christ Ahnsahnghong's great and infinite love, the light of the gospel shines in the world. He is true God that has given us the hope for the kingdom of heaven.
[Rev 21: 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." ]

Christ Ahnsahnghong has given us the hope for new heaven and new earth!
Through the bible I saw what a grievious sinner I was in the kingdom of heaven. I saw how arrogant and hateful I was towards My God (Ez 28:8-17). Because of this I was casted to the earth and sentenced to die. When I thought about this, it really hurt me because I thought about what a criminal must have done to face the penalty of death. Someone isn't just sentenced to death for a parking ticket or a theft; for a person to be sentenced to capital punishment means that the person committed a horrible murder. These kind of people are often placed in solitary confinement and live every hour in despair of the time when they have to be put to death. My life on this earth is no different. In heaven I was a beautiful angel; God gave me the power of creation and all the stars in the universe were my kingdom. Imagine! What a glorious place heaven was. Since I committed such a horrible sin against God, I was casted to this earth, the spiritual prison.
When I think of a prison, it really scares me. There are so many awful people there and one is so limited to do what they want; I would probably have to constantly watch my back for any danger. I would never voluntarily ask to go into a jail and take my life for the life of a criminal that is sentenced to capital punishment. But this is exactly what Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem did for us. They left the glorious throne in heaven and came into this earth, a spritual jail, and have given their life for ours (Heb 2:13). We were all sentenced to earth but our Mighty God Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem have given us their flesh and blood through the Passover so that we may live. What a great blessing from our God. Although we sinned so awful against Father and Mother, they have bought us salvation (Heb 9:28).
Now the true hope in this world is to enter the kingdom of heaven. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem want to give us the water of life to enter Their glorious throne and reign forever and ever with the crowns of life shining bright on our heads.
It is written:
Rev 22:3-6 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."

Christ AhnsahngHong's Words are Absolute
The Bible says the goal of our Faith is salvation of our souls.Although many people claim they want salvation, they deny the teachings of Christ AhnsahngHong which come directly from the Bible, and adhere to doctrines that are not derived from the Bible. However, God always showed that those who followed His Word absolutely could inherit eternal life, while the others failed to receive it b/c they didn't believe His word was absolute.
Revelation 22:18
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
Revelation 22:19
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Then why did God warn everyone not to add or take away from the Bible? Was it for God's benefit or Ours?
Genesis 6:14
So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
Genesis 6:22
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
At this time, God was going to detroy the earth and its people with a great flood due to the increasing corruption. However, before this occurred, God warned Noah to make and ark so that He and His family may be saved.Although it seemed strange since it had barely rained at that time, Noah understood that it was beneficial to him to keep God's command. Because He believed God's Word is absolute He built an ark and was able to be saved from the terrible flood that had destroyed everyone else because they had mocked Noah and had not believed that God would send the flood.
Abraham is very well known as one of the forefathers of faith..But why was he given such a reputation?
Genesis 22:2
Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
Abraham finally had born a son after being a hundred years old, but then God asks him to sacrifice him. This had to be an extremely difficult task for Abraham to do! Anyone would have told God no, but what did Abraham do?
Genesis 22:9
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Genesis 22:10
Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
This would seem crazy to anyone but without even thinking about it, Abraham just obeyed what God said, believing His Word is absolute.
Genesis 22:12
"Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."
Because God saw Abraham's mind and was pleased that Abraham was faithful to Him even to the point of taking his only son, God told Abraham not to do anything to Isaac. actually God never intended to kill Isaac, but wanted to test Abraham. Because Abraham believed in God's word fully, it resulted in his favor.
There were many other examples of those in the Bible who believed God's words are absolute such as Joshua and Caleb. Even though ten other israeiltes had spread a bad report about the land of Canaan, Joshua and Caleb truly believed they could enter it since God had promised. As a result, they were the only ones who were able to enter the promise land. However, the other Israelites, although they had eagerly awaited entering the land of Canaan, were unable to enter because they did not believe in God's Word.
Nowadays, all teaching of Christ AhnsahngHong come from the Bible. God already gave us numerous examples to show us that if we are obedient, we will reap a good result. The Sabbath, Passover, and Feasts of God are teachings from Christ AhnsahngHong that will lead us to eternal life. However, other teachings such as sunday, easter, x-mas, are mans teachings...God said we should not add or take away from the Bible. Then if we fully believe in the Bible, we should believe that the word of Christ AhnsahngHong is absolute, so that we can receive eternal life.

Christ AhnsahngHong gave up everything to seek and save the lost
Psalm 102:19
"The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."
Whenever I read this verse I can't help but think about how merciful God really is. Most people have the misconception that God Almighty cannot come in the flesh. But although we were all prisoners of sin and death Christ AhnsahngHong gave up His glorious Heavenly throne to save us.
Galatians 3:22
But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin.
Romans 6:23
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What a sad life! Even when I was young I was always scared of death not knowing what would happen to my soul afterwards. But I had no idea that the reason every man had to die is because we all sinned against God in Heaven and were sent to this Earth as a result. As farfetched as it sounded in the beginning, it began to make sense. I always felt that something was missing, something just wasnt right, especially in Church. Where is God? Who is God? I longed to know but could never find an answer. I felt a lot like King Solomon.
Ecclesiastes 1:2
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.
But just when I was feeling this way, I came to study through the Bible something amazing.
Hebrews 2:14
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
When I used to read this verse I always thought it was speaking about first coming Christ when He was crucified. But now I know that He came again in the Flesh with the name Christ AhnsahngHong and sacrificed even more to save us from death. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords shared in the same humanity as me! Christ AhnsahngHong truly humbled Himself to save sinners. I realized who Christ AhnsahngHong was even more when I understood that He had to come again to establish His true Church, because the truth had been distorted after 325 a.d.
Isaiah 51:3
The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins;
Isaiah 33:20
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken.
What are God's Festivals?
Leviticus 23:2
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
The Sabbath,The Passover and Unleavened Bread,Firstfruits,Feast of Weeks,Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement,Feast of Tabernacles
I had never heard of these Feasts before even though I had attended Church all my life. That's because at that time I didnt know where Zion was.
Psalm 102:16
For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
Then God ALmighty Himself has to come and establish the Feasts of God. The Church of God World Mission Society is the only Church in the world that keeps all of these Feasts. Then Church of God World Mission Society must be Zion that was rebuilt by God. But who established all these Feasts? Well, that would be none other than God Almighty Himself, Christ AhnsahngHong.He came in the Flesh in 1948 Now when I think about God, instead of wondering who He is I just think about this verse:
Isaiah 25:9
In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."

True Happiness with the love of Christ Ahnsahnghong
In this world so many seek happiness. Whether they seek a better job or long for better relationships; in one form or another we all want happiness. I remember how excited I would be whenever I got the chance to go on trips with my family to different places but I also remember that as soon as I returned from those trips I still felt emptiness. I always wanted more happiness because it lasted for such a short time. When I studied the bible I understood what happiness really is. If you are able to do a deep study of the soul, you can understand where you came from, what time you're living in and where you are going. I saw through the bible that I was a angel in the kingdom of heaven, rejoicing with God always, delighting day after day (Pr 8:22-30). At that very moment, I felt true happiness; at that very moment I had the hope for the kingdom of Heaven. But because of sin and because I became arrogant and went against God in the kingdom of Heaven, I was casted to this earth (Ez 28:1).
Now I know that I need to hold on to the precious blessing of returning to the kingdom of heaven through the promise that Christ gave us through the bible. [Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost] The purpose in Jesus Christ coming was to save us, the lost sinners, so that we may return to the kingdom of heaven. He saved us and gave us eternal life through his flesh and blood (John 6:53) What a great love Christ has for us that He gave his flesh and blood so that we may live. Only through the Passover are we able to receive Christ's body and blood (Matt 26:17-27). The Passover of the new covenant brings so much happiness to the souls of this earth that long for the kingdom of Heaven. But this great truth was hidden for the past ages but Christ Ahnsahnghong has restored this precious truth. The bible says that Christ will appear a second time to bring salvation (Heb 9:28) This salvation is Passover of the new covenant. Only through the Passover can we have eternal life which is God's promise to us. Christ Ahnsahnghong bought back the new covenant so that we may rejoice always in the kingdom of heaven. With the promise of eternal life through the Passover we inherit the whole universe!
1 Cor 2: 9
However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"
I cannot even imagine what Heavenly Father and Mother have prepared in the kingdom of heaven. How happy and joyful will all those who have the promise of eternal life be in the kingdom of heaven. Christ Ahnsahnghong has given us eternal life to enter the glorious kingdom of heaven. He has given us true happiness!

Christ Ahnsahnghong The Savior of the World
Christ Ahnsahnghong began preaching the gospel in Korea beginning in 1948. Not only dealing with the normal stresses of living a human life, He diligently worked day and night to establish a church which people could come and keep the Feasts of God which no one had kept in almost 2000 yrs. Isaiah 33:20 "Look upon Zion, the city of our feastivals." Everyday He preached to people all over Korea inviting them to keep the Passover of the New Covenant. Christ Ahnsahnghong finally restored the Church of God in 1964. It was the first church in the world to keep all the Feasts of God including the Passover.
Luke 22:15 "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Jesus Christ wanted to celebrate the Passover eagerly since it was the very reason He came to earth. It is the same with Christ's Second Coming.
Christ Ahnsahnghong continued preaching until 1985 when He died and His spirit returned to Heaven. However, people were shocked to see that such a small poor church in Korea had begun to grow rapidly. In only 23 years the church grew to over 1 million members and over 500 churches world wide. Why did this happen?
Acts 5:38 "Therefore, in the present case I advise you: leave these men alone. Let them go. For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." The Church of God was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong. If you look outwardly, it looks like a normal church established by a normal man. However, if you look prophetically and spiritually, you can see that this Church was established by God.
God Bless You!!! Please believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong through the bible, not your own eyes.

Believing the Miraculous Work of God
3500 years ago, God called Moses to deliver the Israelites out of bondage from Egypt. However, Moses was not certain that it was God who called him. God had to continuously show Moses that it was the same God who called Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been the first time God spoke to His people since he revealed himself to Joseph. It was very difficult to believe that God had called them. This happened because he didn't believe in the miraculous work of God.
Later, Gideon also had difficulty believing that God spoke with him. He continued asking God for confirmation that He was with him. This happened because he didn't believe in the miraculous work of God.
2000 years ago, during the common era, God appeared on this earth in human form with the name Jesus. People hadn't heard from God for hundreds of years, and when Christ came, they refused to listen to Him because they didn't believe in the miraculous work of God.
Now, Christ Ahnsahnghong has appeared on this earth again after 2000 years. But today, people don't believe in Him because they think that something this miraculous could not happen to them. But everyone who believed in the miraculous work of God was given salvation by God.
The Bible already testifies to the truth of the Passover and the importance it carries for our blessing. Jesus Christ said that it was the only way to receive eternal life. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught this important truth as well, never deviating from the teaching of the Bible, He taught all the truth which leads to eternal life. However, people fail to believe in Him because they carry the thought, "This is too good to be true, this would never happen to me." We have to get rid of this thought and realize the miraculous work of God.
