民の最大の罪は、神に聞き従わなかったことである。
聞き従うことは、信仰の本質である。信仰とは聞き従うことである。
これは新約時代になっても変わらない真理である。私たちは神に対して聞き従うことを忘れてはならない。かつてサウル王は、表面上は信仰的に見せたが、神のみことばに従わなかったために王位から退けられた。 「信仰深い人」とは単に大胆なことを口にする人や、伝道をよくする人のことではない。それらも信仰には違いないだろうが、信仰深い人とは、なにより神に聞き従う人である。
Listening and following is the essence of religion. To be religious is to listen and to follow.
This is never changing truth even in the era of new testament. We should never forget to listen to and follow the god. King Saul in the past pretended to worship, but was overthrown because he did not follow the words of god. "Religious person" does not simply mean those who talk boldly or provides mission works a lot. These also belong to religious conducts, but religious person, more than anything, is the one who listens to the god and follow.
To follow to hear, it is the essence of faith. And faith is to obey.
This is a truth that does not change even in the New Testament era.
We must not forget that hearken to God.
Once King Saul, showed the religious on the surface, was dismissed from the throne because it did not conform to the Word of God.
Just people and that bold and "faith deep person", not that of the people to improve the evangelism.
They will also no doubt to the faith, but a faith deep person, a person who obey above all to God.
Obedience is the essence of belief. Belief is obedience.
This is the truth which will not change even in the New Age. We cannot forget to obey God. Saul King only pretends his belief but because he didn't obey God's words, he was dethroned. People have "deep belief" are not those who talk big, and do mission. Those things do show belief but people with "deep belief" are those who obey God.
