Message from me to you...

2008-07-22T20:59:00.000+09:00

Dear Friend,

If you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You are deceived and headed for certain damnation. If you are not absolutely certain that you are going to be with Him, with Jesus Christ, after you die....you need to make peace with God through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. Stop living for yourself. Stop sinning. Open your heart and eyes and realize your desperate need to be washed from your sins. The wrath of God is coming on those who deny Him. You will reap what you sow. While it is still today, turn from your ways and look upon the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Call upon His name while He is near. You can know him as Savior today. Confess your sins to Him, and plead with God to save your soul. This may be your last chance.

You may think you are "already saved." What are you placing your faith on? Is it the finished work of Jesus Christ? Is your faith truly in Him. Nothing you can do can save you. If you say you believe, ask yourself, "do I really believe?"

How is your walk with Him? Are you hating your sins, dying to self and following Him? Your lifestyle will dictate what you believe in. If your more consumed with spending time with some "earthly" pleasure, hobby, or item...then your are not following Christ, but rather another god, which is "anti-christ". Flee from sin. Flee from idols. Devote yourself to Him. If Jesus Christ isn't your first love now...you can not be sure you were ever saved. Those who continue and persevere can have assurance, but those "luke-warm" or "carnal" christians can have no assurance of their salvation. Get right or get left behind. Call on the only God, The merciful God who alone can save. He is willing now, but if you deny Him, He will deny you on the last day.

- Donny

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
ひとりのみどりごが、私たちのために生まれる。ひとりの男の子が、私たちに与えられる。主権はその肩にあり、その名は「不思議な助言者、力ある神、永遠の父、平和の君」と呼ばれる。 Is 9:6

C.S. Lewis quote on who Jesus is

2008-07-22T20:45:00.001+09:00

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us." He did not intend to.

Quote C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity

Only through Jesus Christ is there forgiveness of sins.

2008-07-22T20:30:00.000+09:00

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Act 4:12

"for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. "
Mat 26:28

"To give to His people the knowledge of salvation By the forgiveness of their sins,"
Luk 1:77

and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Luk 24:47

What is the Romans Road to salvation? - ローマ人の道的救いとはどのようなことですか？

2008-07-22T20:12:00.000+09:00

Question: "What is the Romans Road to salvation?"

Answer: The Romans Road to salvation is a way of explaining the good news of salvation using verses from the Book of Romans. It is a simple yet powerful method of explaining why we need salvation, how God provided salvation, how we can receive salvation, and what are the results of salvation.

The first verse on the Romans Road to salvation is Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." We have all sinned. We have all done things that are displeasing to God. There is no one who is innocent. Romans 3:10-18 gives a detailed picture of what sin looks like in our lives. The second Scripture on the Romans Road to salvation, Romans 6:23, teaches us about the consequences of sin - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The punishment that we have earned for our sins is death. Not just physical death, but eternal death!

The third verse on the Romans road to salvation picks up where Romans 6:23 left off, "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:8 declares, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus Christ died for us! Jesus' death paid for the price of our sins. Jesus' resurrection proves that God accepted Jesus' death as the payment for our sins.

The fourth stop on the Romans road to salvation is Romans 10:9, "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - and we will be saved! Romans 10:13 says it again, "for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Salvation, the forgiveness of sins, is available to anyone who will trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The final aspect of the Romans road to salvation is the results of salvation. Romans 5:1 has this wonderful message, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Through Jesus Christ we can have a relationship of peace with God. Romans 8:1 teaches us, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, we will never be condemned for our sins. Finally, we have this precious promise of God from Romans 8:38-39, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Would you like to follow the Romans road to salvation? If so, here is a simple prayer you can pray to God. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Jesus Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith in Jesus Christ can provide salvation! "God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. With your help, I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!"

答え： ローマ人の道的救いとは、聖書にある、ローマ人への手紙の聖書の箇所を用いて救いの福音を分ちあう方法です。これは簡単ですが，何故救いが必要なのか、神はどのようにして救いを与えて下さったのか、どのようにして救いを受けられるのか、救いの結果は何なのか、を説明するのには力強い方法なのです。

ローマ人の道的救いの最初の聖書の箇所は、ローマ人への手紙3章23節です。「すべての人は、罪を犯したので、神からの栄誉を受ける事が出来ない。」のです。私たちは皆罪を犯しました。私たちは皆、神が喜ばないような事をしています。罪の無い人は一人もいません。ローマ人へ�ﾌ手紙3章10節から18節には、私たちの生活でどのようなことが罪なのかを詳しく描いています。ローマ人の道的救いの次の聖書の箇所、ローマ人への手紙6章23節では、罪の結果について私たちに次のように語っています。「罪から来る報酬は死です。」私たちの罪に対する罰は死です�Bただ肉体的な死だけではなく，永遠の死を意味します。

ローマ人の道的救いの第３番目は、ローマ人への手紙6章23節から取り上げましょう。「しかし、神の下さる賜物は、私たちの主キリスト・イエスにある永遠のいのちです。」ローマ人への手紙5章8節には、次のように述べられています。「しかし、私たちがまだ罪人であったとき、キ�潟Xトが私たちのために死んで下さったことにより、神は私たちに対するご自身の愛を明らかにしておられます。」イエス・キリストは私たちのために死なれました。イエスの死は私たちの罪の代価を払って下さったのです。イエスの復活は、神がイエスの死を私たちの罪の代償として受入れて下さった、ということを証明しています。

ローマ人の道的救いの第４番目は、ローマ人への手紙10章9節にあります。「何故なら、もしあなたの口でイエスを主と告白し、あなたの心で神はイエスを死者の中からよみがえらせてくださったと信じるなら、あなたは救われるからです。」イエスは私たちの身代わりとしてお死にになられたので、私たちがしなければならないことは、イエスを信じ、私達の罪の為の代価としてイエスの死を信じることです。そうすれば私たちは救われるのです。ローマ人への手紙10章13 節はそのことを再度こう語っています。「主の御名を呼び求める者は、だれでも救われるのです。」イエスは私たちの罪の代価として、私たちを永遠の死から救うために、死なれたのです。イエス・キリストを主であり救い主として信じる者は誰でも、救い、つまり私達の罪の赦しを、手に入れる事が出来るのです。

ローマ人の道的救いの最終点は、救いの結果です。ローマ人への手紙5章1節は、次のような素晴しいメッセージが書かれています。「ですから、信仰によって義と認められた私たちは、私たちの主イエス・キリストによって、神との平和を持っています。」イエス・キリストを通して、私たちは神との平和を持つことができるのです。

ローマ人への手紙8章1節は、このように教えてくれます。「こういうわけで、今は、キリスト・イエスにある者が罪に定められることは決してありません。」私たちの代わりに死なれたイエスの死の故に、私たちは決して私たちの罪を宣告されることはありません。最後に、私たちは、ローマ人への手紙8章38節から 39節にあるように、神からの尊いお約束をいただいているのです。「私はこう確信しています。死も、いのちも、御使いも、権�ﾐある者も、今あるものも、後に来るものも、力ある者も、高さも、深さも、そのほかのどんな被造物も、私たちの主キリスト・イエスにある神の愛から、私たちを引き離すことはできません。」

あなたはローマ人の道的救いに従いたいと思いますか。もしそうでしたら、神に祈る簡単なお祈りがあります。この祈りを口に出すことは、あなたがイエス・キリストをあなたの救い主として信頼することを、神に宣べ伝える手段です。ことばそのものはあなたを救うことはできません。ただ、イエス・キリストを信じることによって救いを受けることができるのです。「神様、私はあなたに対して罪を犯し、あなたの刑罰に値する者だという事を知っています。しかし、イエスさまは、イエスさまを信じることによって赦して下さり、わたしが受けなければならない罰を取り除いてくださり、イエスさまへの信仰によって赦してくださいました。あなたの助けによって、私は自分の罪から離れ、あなたの救いを信じます。あなたの素晴しい恵みと赦しを感謝します。永遠の生命という贈り物を感謝して、アーメン」

Jesus is Lord - イエスは主

2008-07-22T19:51:00.000+09:00

兄弟たち。私は今、あなたがたに福音を知らせましょう。これは、私があなたがたに宣べ伝えたもので、あなたがたが受け入れ、また、それによって立っている福音です。また、もしあなたがたがよく考えもしないで信じたのでないなら、私の宣べ伝えたこの福音のことばをしっかりと保っていれば、この福音によって救われるのです。私があなたがたに最も大切なこととして伝えたのは、私も受けたことであって、次のことです。キリストは、聖書の示すとおりに、私たちの罪のために死なれたこと、
また、葬られたこと、また、聖書に従って三日目によみがえられたこと、I Co 15:1-4

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, I Co 15:1-4

しかし、主の名を呼ぶ者は、みな救われる。』Act 2:21

'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.' Act 2:21

ですから、イスラエルのすべての人々は、このことをはっきりと知らなければなりません。すなわち、神が、今や主ともキリストともされたこのイエスを、あなたがたは十字架につけたのです。」 Act 2:36

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified." Act 2:36

人々はこれを聞いて心を刺され、ペテロとほかの使徒たちに、「兄弟たち。私たちはどうしたらよいでしょうか。」と言った。そこでペテロは彼らに答えた。「悔い改めなさい。そして、それぞれ罪を赦していただくために、イエス・キリストの名によってバプテスマを受けなさい。そうすれば、賜物として聖霊を受けるでしょう。 Act 2:37-38

Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Act 2:37-38

ペテロは、このほかにも多くのことばをもって、あかしをし、「この曲がった時代から救われなさい。」と言って彼らに勧めた。 Act 2:40

And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!" Act 2:40

It pleased the Lord to crush Him....

2008-07-21T09:01:00.001+09:00

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; - Is 53:6-10 - ESV Emphasis added

Repent and Believe

2008-07-19T18:10:00.000+09:00

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."-Matt 4:7

and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."- Mark 1:15

How do you respond to God's Word?

2008-07-19T18:04:00.000+09:00

"For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD. "But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word." - Isaiah 66:2

The Cross of Jesus Christ by Paul David Washer

2008-07-19T17:33:00.000+09:00

The Cross of Jesus Christ
by Paul David Washer

One of my greatest burdens is that the Cross
of Christ is rarely explained. It is not enough
to say that “He died” - for all men die. It is not
enough to say that “He died a noble death” -
for martyrs do the same. We must understand
that we have not fully proclaimed the death of
Christ with saving power until we have cleared
away the confusion that surrounds it and expounded
its true meaning to our hearers - He
died bearing the transgressions of His people
and suffering the divine penalty for their sins:
He was forsaken of God and crushed under
the wrath of God in their place.

Forsaken of God
One of the most disturbing, even haunting,
passages in the Scriptures is Mark’s record of
the great cry of the Messiah as He hung upon a
Roman Cross. In a loud voice He cried out:
“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is
translated, “My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me?”1

In light of what we know about the impeccable
nature of the Son of God and His perfect
fellowship with the Father, it is difficult to
comprehend Christ’s words, yet in them, the
meaning of the Cross is laid bare, and we find
the reason for which Christ died. The fact that
His words are also recorded in the original Hebrew
tongue tells us something of their great
importance. The author did not want us to misunderstand
or to miss a thing!

In these words, Jesus is not only crying out to
God, but as the consummate teacher, He is also
directing His onlookers and all future readers
to one of the most important Messianic prophecies
of the Old Testament - Psalm 22. Though

the entire Psalm abounds with detailed prophecies
of the Cross, we will concern ourselves
with only the first six verses:

“My God, my God, why have You forsaken
me? Far from my deliverance are the words
of my groaning. O my God, I cry by day,
but You do not answer; and by night, but I
have no rest. Yet You are holy, O You who
are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. In
You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You
delivered them. To You they cried out and
were delivered; in You they trusted and were
not disappointed. But I am a worm and not
a man, a reproach of men and despised by
the people.”

In Christ’s day, the Hebrew Scriptures were
not laid out in numbered chapters and verses as
they are today. Therefore, when a rabbi sought
to direct his hearers to a certain Psalm or portion
of Scripture, he would do so by reciting
the first lines of the text. In this cry from the
Cross, Jesus directs us to Psalm 22 and reveals
to us something of the character and purpose
of His sufferings.

In the first and second verses, we hear the
Messiah’s complaint - He considers Himself
forsaken of God. Mark uses the Greek word
egkataleípo, which means to forsake, abandon,
or desert.2 The Psalmist uses the Hebrew word
azab, which means to leave, loose, or forsake.3
In both cases, the intention is clear. The Messiah
Himself is aware that God has forsaken
Him and turned a deaf ear to His cry. This is
not a symbolic or poetic forsakenness. It is real!
If ever a creature felt the forsakenness of God,
it was the Son of God on the cross of Calvary!

In the fourth and fifth verses of this Psalm, the
anguish suffered by the Messiah becomes more
acute as He recalls the covenant faithfulness of
God towards His people. He declares:

“In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and
You delivered them. To You they cried out
and were delivered; in You they trusted and
were not disappointed.”
