Eternal life

(God the father Ahn Sahng hong, God the
mother, mother of God, Church of God) Passover, the way to Eternal life.




The Church
of God is the only church in the world that celebrates the Passover of the new
covenant on the fourteenth day of the first month?by sacred year?as was written
in the Bible (Lev. 23:4). The Church of God can celebrate the Passover because
the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, has restored the Passover that Jesus
established two thousand years ago.




The Passover is one of
the most important feasts that God has granted because God promised to give us
the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life through the Passover.




Also, by celebrating the Passover, we can escape from all
disasters. Even in the Old Testament times, there was a marked difference
between the people who celebrated the Passover and the people who did not. Those
who did not celebrate the Passover were always destroyed.



In
other words, if we do not celebrate the Passover, we cannot have the forgiveness
of our sins or eternal life, nor can we be saved from the last disasters. The
Church of God, that believes in the prophecies of the Bible, celebrates the
Passover?the truth of the Early Church, following the teachings of Christ
Ahnsahnghong.


Ex. 12:1-14 『..."The animals you choose must be
year-old males without defect ...Take care of them until the fourteenth day of
the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at
twilight...This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt,
your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is
the LORD's Passover...The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you
are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will
touch you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the
generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD?a lasting
ordinance."』

The blood of the lamb became the sign of God's people, and
the destroying angels passed over the Israelites' houses, where the blood had
been painted. This day was called the Passover, meaning that the disaster would
"pass over."






On that day, the Israelites put the lamb's blood on
their doorframes, ate its roasted meat, and prepared to go on a journey. That
night, as the Israelites waited, loud wailing could be heard. All of the
firstborn of Egypt?including the firstborn of Pharaoh?were killed. During the
night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and told them to leave Egypt. The
Egyptians, who had suffered all kinds of plagues, wanted the Israelites to leave
quickly and gave them articles of silver and gold, even clothing.

The
Passover was the day when God freed the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt.
This was a shadow of the things to come. In the New Testament times, the
Passover is the only feast through which God's people can receive the
forgiveness of their sins and can be saved from all disasters.

All men
desire to have eternal life, but men cannot give it. Just as God saved the
Israelites during the Exodus, only God is able to give us salvation and eternal
life.
Then, how will God grant us eternal life? God gives us salvation
through the blood of Christ (1 Cor. 5:7), represented, during the time of the
Exodus, by the blood of the Passover lamb.

John 6:53-55 『Jesus said to
them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and
drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is
real food and my blood is real drink."』

Jesus promised that the bread of
the Passover was His flesh, and that the wine of the Passover was His blood.


Matt. 26:17-28 『...So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and
prepared the Passover...While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks
and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my
body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink
from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for
many for the forgiveness of sins."』

The reason why we want to receive
the flesh and blood of Jesus?given to us through the Passover?is because Jesus,
who is life, promised that when we eat
