deal of persecution, contempt, and mockery while preaching the gospel. There were people who believed among those who heard the gospel he preached. On the other hand, there were those who did not believe the gospel. Paul did not work to receive acknowledgment and praise from people. He did not seek fame from people. He did not do people-centered ministry. He did not live by people. He only sought the glory of God. But the Jews loved human glory more than the glory of God. Today\u2019s passage tells us this. We must learn what proper faith is before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jews saw many miracles that Jesus performed. However, they did not believe in Jesus. The Jews\u2019 unbelief was foretold by Prophet Isaiah (John 12:39-40). The Jews did not believe in Jesus, just as it had been prophesied in the Scriptures. However, not all the Jews were unbelievers. There were people who believed in Jesus when they heard the Word of God and saw the miracles he performed. The twelve disciples believed in Jesus. And there were the synagogue leader, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, the family of Lazarus, and the women who served and followed Jesus. Moreover, many tax collectors and sinners believed in him. When Apostle Paul preached the gospel in Thessalonica, he was persecuted. However, when he preached the gospel in Berea, the people heard, believed, and studied the Scriptures. When the gospel is preached, these things happen. So we must spread the gospel with hope, and without giving up. For there will be people who believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even among the Jewish leaders, there were many who believed in Jesus (v.42). They believed that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God. There were also those who persecuted Jesus. And they eventually killed the Messiah. Similarly, among the believers today, there are presidents, ministers, congressmen and representatives, governors and mayors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The believing Jews could not openly acknowledge their faith in Jesus (v.42). They hid the fact that they were Christians. Why was that? Because they feared expulsion. They were afraid that they would be put out of the synagogue if the people found out that they believed in Jesus. People conceal that they are Christians for various reasons. When they are at a disadvantage, they deny the Lord. There are times when people deny the Lord because of fear. During persecution, people denied the Lord when they were held at gunpoint. Due to fear, they could not confess that they were believers. Peter denied the Lord three times because of fear. When we fear people, it is easy for us to deny the Lord. Therefore, Jesus tells us to not be afraid of the people but to fear God who can throw our body and soul into hell (Matthew 10:28). Proper faith is fearing the Lord and obeying him.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a Christian girl. Someone with a gun asked her if she believed in Jesus Christ. The girl knew she would die if she confessed her faith. She was hesitant for a little bit, but she remembered the Lord Jesus who died on the cross for her. She did not want to deny the Lord who died for her. So she confessed that she believes in Jesus Christ as her Lord. She was shot and martyred. She overcame the fear of death and gained victory. Jesus says, \u201cWhoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven\u201d (Matthew 10:32-33). We must acknowledge before people that we are Christians. We must confess, \u201cI believe that Jesus is the Son of God and my Savior.&#8221; Then, the Lord will also acknowledge before God the Father that we are true believers who have been saved. Jesus confessed before people that he is the Messiah, the Son of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible mentions the reason for the Jewish believers not openly acknowledging their faith (v43). The reason was that they loved praise from humans more than God. This is what we call a human-centered faith. When we love praise from humans, we cannot seek the praise from God. Jesus did not accept glory from human beings (John 5:41). Jesus did not seek popularity and worldly reputation. Jesus was abandoned by the world and people and died on the cross. Jesus resisted the devil\u2019s temptation to give him the glory of the world. We are people of Jesus Christ. We must learn from the Lord and imitate him. We must walk the way of the Lord. We must seek the glory of God just like the Lord. We must not fear people or the environment. We must firmly believe in Jesus as the Savior and acknowledge him. In such a way, we must live seeking the glory of God. That is the true faith before God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uc0ac\ub3c4 \ubc14\uc6b8\uc740 \ubcf5\uc74c\uc744 \uc804\ud558\uba74\uc11c \uc218\ub9ce\uc740 \uba78\uc2dc\uc640 \uc870\ub871\uacfc \ubc15\ud574\ub97c \ubc1b\uc558\ub2e4. \uadf8\uac00 \uc804\ud55c \ubcf5\uc74c\uc744 \ub4e3\uace0 \ubbff\uc740 \uc0ac\ub78c\ub4e4\ub3c4 \uc788\uc5c8\ub2e4. \ud558\uc9c0\ub9cc \ubc14\uc6b8\uc774 \uc804\ud55c \ubcf5\uc74c\uc744 \ubbff\uc9c0 \uc54a\ub294 \uc0ac\ub78c\ub4e4\ub3c4 \ub9ce\uc558\ub2e4. \ubc14\uc6b8\uc740 \uc0ac\ub78c\ub4e4\uc758 \uc778\uc815\uacfc \uce6d\ucc2c\uc744 \uc5bb\uc73c\ub824\uace0 \ud798\uc4f0\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc558\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 \uc0ac\ub78c\ub4e4\uc758 \uc778\uae30\ub97c \ucd94\uad6c\ud558\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc558\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 \uc0ac\ub78c \uc911\uc2ec\uc758 \uc0ac\uc5ed\uc744 \ud558\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc558\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 \uc0ac\ub78c\uc744 \ub530\ub77c\uc11c \uc0b4\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc558\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 \uc624\uc9c1 \ud558\ub098\ub2d8\uc758 \uc601\uad11\uc744 \uad6c\ud588\ub2e4. \ubbff\ub294 \uc720\ub300\uc778\ub4e4\uc740 \ud558\ub098\ub2d8\uc758 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-18"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11700"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11705,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11700\/revisions\/11705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akronkpc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
