First and foremost, I want to thank the LORD for using His servant Rev. Paul C. Jong to write this precious book by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with the title, “If You Have Confusion and Emptiness in Your Heart, Seek the Light of the Truth (II).”
The book explains that the purpose for which God saved those of us who believe in the baptism which Jesus receive from John the Baptist and His blood is to glorify His name and praise Him. And that, it is only after we are redeemed by receiving the remission of our sins that we can pray to God calling Him our Father in Heaven. Therefore we don’t have memorize or recite the LORD’S prayer blindly, but we must know that Jesus gave it to us so that we will have a spiritual desire for God to make us His born again children.
But in order to receive the remission of sins, we must throw away the Nicene Creed which is according to human thoughts which believe in only the blood of the Cross, and then listen to the pure Word of regeneration fulfill by the water baptism and the blood of Jesus Christ which we must believe with all our hearts. This makes our salvation certain.
I also learnt from the book, that just as Abraham believed and accepted the blessing which Melchizedek the priest of the Most High offered him in the Old Testament, we in the New Testament must believe in Jesus Christ who became our High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek by accepting by faith that He has saved us from all our sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood of the Cross. This is how we receive the blessing of God through faith just like Abraham did. I also learnt a great mystery, that the bread and wine that Melchizedek brought when he blessed Abraham stands for the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist by giving His body and His blood on the Cross stands for the wine.
In addition, the book talks about the fact that, our salvation is fulfilled according to God’s will, and so we must never attempt to receive salvation by relying on theological doctrines from theologians who are wise on their own, for God has hidden the truth of salvation from such people due to their arrogant hearts. But when we all have humble hearts like little children, we can be saved by believing in both the baptism and the blood of Jesus Christ.
The author Rev. Paul C Jong revealed that we the righteous who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit belong to the invisible Church of God. And so we are not like the mega churches of this world who boast about the physical appearance and the size of their temples. On the other hand, we who belong to the invisible church can worship God anywhere we are gathered since we share true fellowship with one another by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
In the book, God teaches us that, in order for us to live the proper life of faith which is pleasing to Him, we have to follow the guidance of the leaders in His church and unite with them in one faith so that we will not stand or go against the Church. For example, there are some believers who believe according to their own fleshly thoughts by teaching that John the Baptist and Mary were not born sinners. But Rev. Paul C. Jong explained in detail how such claims are false by using the Word of God to expose such lies.
In fact, yesterday I even shared an excerpt from this book which talks about such fallacious teachings and I shared them to the born again Saints on the various social media channels such as WhatsApp and on Facebook. The book reveals that our fleshly human thoughts is always evil, and so we must be aware of it so that can throw away such thoughts and place our faith in the righteousness of God whiles devoting our hearts to the LORD and in the spreading of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. When we do this without seeking our own personal interests, but unite with the Church, then God will rejoice over our faith, and He will bless all of us who believe in His gospel Word of truth.
I have really learned a lot from this book which is full of spiritual nourishment for the soul. I thank God for inspiring His servant Rev. Paul C. Jong to write this book which guides us to walk and live our life of faith according to the will of God.
