(2) Israel crossing the Red Sea

  (2) Israel crossing the Red Sea Exodus 14:13-16 “ Then Moses said to the people, ‘ Fear not, stand firm, and you will see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will see them again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you; therefore you must be still. ” Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘ Why do you cry to me? Tell the Israelites to move forward. But lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites will go through the sea on dry ground. ’” God speaks to them through Moses. He tells them to simply observe what God is doing. This is salvation. Even today, with nothing we can do, people struggle to survive. Salvation is God's work, and all we need to do is enter into the faith He gives us. However, people believe and act according to their own thoughts and circumstances, regardless of the faith God gives them. Therefore, this faith changes depending on the circums...

The Fruit of Life and the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

  The Fruit of Life and the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil   Genesis 2:8-9 "The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and placed the man whom He had formed there. And out of the ground came forth trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." What is the meaning of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Since it literally enables the knowledge of good and evil, the true identity of this tree is the Bible, and it corresponds to the Law of Moses. The heart that looks toward the law can be directed toward good or toward evil. The law consists of as many as 613 rules, and God commanded the people of Israel to keep all of these rules. And He told them to offer sacrifices when they could not keep them. "Those who view the law as good" are those who, while trying to keep the law, realized their own sinfulness and came to contemplate...
