Luke 12:1

(Luke 12:1)

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

 

Tens of thousands of people gathered, but Jesus first told his disciples the whole of chapter 12. The Bible says that in order to be saved, you must first become a disciple of Jesus. In John 8:31-32 Jesus said, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 』It means that believing in Jesus does not make you a disciple, but that you become a disciple only by dwelling on the words of Jesus.

The way to become a disciple does not mean a life of dedicated sanctification. One must become a disciple of Jesus to know the truth. The word “know” means “experience”. It means that Adam is ``one with the truth'' as if by knowing each other and becoming one. ``Become one'' means ``the cross goes into Jesus.'' Then the truth frees the disciples from sin. This is the way to salvation.

Both forgiveness and liberation are included in this freedom. Today, there is a belief that sins are forgiven, but it is said that you cannot be freed from sins. This is a contradiction. All sins before believing in Jesus are forgiven, but what happens to the sins after believing in Jesus? To receive the forgiveness of sins through Jesus is to receive the forgiveness of all sins in the past, present, and future because repentance means that I die with Jesus Christ, so the future sins die together. This is because those who are worried about future sins presuppose that they will live and move in the future. Since dying with Jesus on the cross is a supernatural faith, those who try to judge this with human thoughts cannot receive the faith given by heaven.

Luke 1: 39-56

(Luke 1: 39-56) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me grea...

Luke 1: 27-38

(Luke 1: 27-38) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:...

Luke 1: 1-26

(Luke 1: 1-26) Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his cour...
