Now My Life Has Become Blessed and Joyful
Author: Park Jong-man (Good News Yeosu Church)

I received salvation in October 2023, and since then I have been walking with the Good News Yeosu Church. Having passed my sixties, I had lived a rough and difficult life. My parents passed away when I was a child, and from the age of four I lived with my aunt. Growing up, I always had to read people’s faces to survive. I was often beaten, despised, and mistreated by my cousins. From an early age I realized that no one would help me—I had to rely on myself to live. So, gritting my teeth, I struggled desperately to survive. I believed that I must fight and win against people, and that made me live with a combative and competitive spirit. I trained hard to build physical strength, and eventually became a quarrelsome person filled with malice.

I attended night middle school and high school while working hard to earn money by delivering newspapers, shining shoes, and doing other menial jobs. I never once went on a picnic or school trip, nor did I ever do anything joyful. My life was filled with sorrow and tears, and I often longed for my parents’ love.

After graduating from high school, I went straight to Seoul. Although I worked various part-time jobs, life was always hard. Once, I was falsely accused of theft at a labor site and taken to the police station for questioning. A cigarette burn was left on my wrist during the interrogation. Whenever I saw that scar, I felt deep resentment and pain. After joining the army, I was assigned to the special forces, where I trained rigorously and learned martial arts. When I was discharged, I was imprisoned for violating customs laws under charges of smuggling. From then on, I was branded with the shameful label of “Prisoner No. 32.”

Later, my younger brother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and passed away. Life felt utterly meaningless, so I sought faith and began attending a Catholic church. However, as I continued to sin and have evil thoughts, I concluded that I could not live a true life of faith. I attended the church for only three months and then quit.

A few years ago, I decided to return to my hometown, Yeosu. It was then that my life took a blessed turn. In late October 2023, I happened to visit a jewelry shop called Yunhwa Jewelry. I knew the owner, Brother Kim Sang-geun, but we had little interaction. That day, he spoke to me kindly and invited me to his church to listen to the Word. I refused, but he gave me a book titled Deliverance from Sin and asked me to read it at home. When I began reading, I felt as if the book had been written specifically for someone like me—someone who had committed many sins and harbored evil thoughts. I read it all in one sitting. The message that Jesus’ blood shed on the Cross had completely washed away my sins came into my heart, yet I still did not have the assurance of salvation.

A week later, I was invited to a long-term meeting held at the Yeosu Church, and there I gained assurance that I was righteous. I believed that I had been born again and that I could go to Heaven. God had become my Father, and Jesus would help me. My heart overflowed with joy—it felt as though I were soaring in the sky.

When I learned from Ephesians Chapter 2 that the blood of Jesus cleansed me from all sin, made me holy, and united me with Him, my heart was filled with gratitude and peace.

However, I had a serious health issue. The doctor said that because I had smoked heavily, there was a hole in my lung and I would not live much longer. He advised me to quit smoking, but I could not. So I prayed earnestly, asking the Father to heal my lungs and help me quit. I also had a faith conversation with Pastor Noh Yong-jo of Good News Yeosu Church, and he prayed for me by the laying on of hands.

I participated in the Winter Retreat starting on December 27, 2023, where I received prayer by the laying on of hands. I believed that God would heal my disease and deliver me from smoking. Miraculously, from that day onward, I never smoked again—and now, four months later, I still have not smoked a single cigarette.

After returning from the retreat, I collapsed during Sunday evening service. I was short of breath and in critical condition, so I was rushed to the emergency room. During the examination, the doctor declared me dead, saying, “This patient is gone—prepare for the morgue!” Hearing that, I thought, “So this is my end.” But immediately, faith arose in my heart: I have been saved. I have received prayer by the laying on of hands. I will not die! At that moment, I could feel strength returning to my body.

The next day, Pastor Noh visited and said, “Jesus is with the saved brother. He will heal our weaknesses. Don’t worry—just believe.” His words strengthened me:

“Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1)

Three days later, I fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Now I can breathe freely, attend church with gratitude, and live a new life. God rescued me from an unhappy life and turned me into a joyful and blessed man. I thank Him for restoring my health and allowing me to share this blessed testimony with the church.

There Was God’s Will to Work

When I was a child, my mother left home. At age five, I fell from a rooftop and, due to severe injury, lost sight in one eye and hearing in one ear, becoming disabled. From a young age, I felt emptiness and resentment toward the world. At thirteen, I began learning jewelry craftsmanship, but for ten years I worked without any pay. Those were extremely difficult years. Later, while working at a factory in Yeosu, I connected with our church and received salvation. I was filled with joy and happiness.

However, after marriage, I followed the thought, “I am poor, so I must earn money,” and drifted away from the church. Facing great hardships, I fell into depression and mental distress.

In the summer of 2023, while my wife and daughter attended a retreat, I stayed home alone and listened to sermons online. When I heard the message, “Even if we sin or fall again after salvation, the blood of Jesus shed on the Cross has eternally washed away all our sins,” I accepted it with a loud “Amen.” My heart, which had collapsed before my circumstances, was revived, and after seven years, I returned to church. Through fellowship with the pastor, the heavy burden in my heart was lifted, and I determined to live a life of faith again.

One day, Brother Park Jong-man came into my shop. As we talked, I realized he had lived a very unfortunate life. I gave him the book Deliverance from Sin and suggested that we meet again after he read it. A few days later, he said, “After reading the book, I feel like I have no sin.” I brought him to church, and when I saw him joyfully assured of his salvation through fellowship with the pastor, I was also deeply moved and thankful. Seeing God work through someone like me to spread the precious gospel filled me with gratitude.

God had a will to work through me, but because I trusted in my own thoughts and left the church, God could not do His work in me. I am thankful that the Lord loved me, had mercy on me, and led me back to church—helping me to lay down my thoughts and become a happy person who follows the guidance of the church.

“God Makes Us Rulers Over All Things”
Author: Yoo Soo-ryul (Good News Shiheung Church)

On the last day of December 2023, I was alone at home, drinking while watching an overseas football broadcast. At the end of the first half, during the commercial break, it suddenly occurred to me: “Pastor Park Ok-soo is probably giving the New Year sermon right now.” With just ten seconds remaining before the New Year 2024, I logged onto the website of our mission church. The New Year’s Eve service was being broadcast live, and Pastor Park delivered the 2024 New Year message.

“God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the livestock, all the earth, and every creeping thing upon the earth.’” (Genesis 1:26)

The pastor spoke of a world that was in stark contrast to the way I had been living. His words shocked me deeply.

I had received salvation long ago, yet I had always lived according to my own ideas. If circumstances were unfavorable, I would leave the church. I would wander, then return, then again drift away because of my environment—this cycle repeated over and over, causing me great suffering. Last year, I had also left the church, relying on alcohol every day of the year to find comfort. Yet God spoke to the saints worldwide: “I will make you, created in My image, rulers over all the earth and everything in it.” Faced with words completely opposite to my life and circumstances, I thought, “Could someone like me really change according to this Word?” With that faint hope, I welcomed the first day of the New Year.

January 1, 2024, was a workday. After finishing early, I had dinner with a junior colleague from my company. As usual, we each drank a bottle and a half of soju before leaving. Even at the start of the new year, quitting alcohol seemed impossible.

However, starting the very next day, the taste of alcohol, which I had drunk daily all year, miraculously vanished from my memory. Even my previously uncontrollable gambling habit disappeared completely, unrelated to my own will or determination. God’s Word naturally led my life away from all evils. God said, “I will make you rulers over all things”, and thus my alcohol and gambling addictions were driven away as if obeying His Word. I felt this change in my heart. It was truly amazing. Four months later, I continue to live a completely new life.

Since then, God has guided me to live under the church’s direction. Through the guidance and prayers of His servants, I listen to the Sunday sermons, fellowship meetings, and regularly hear the Word on YouTube, filling my heart with a desire to spread the gospel.

In this context, I also witnessed God’s work in my nephew, who had been distant from the church. God placed him in a situation of difficulty so that he would become aware of his sin. My nephew came before the pastor of Good News Bucheon Church. The pastor showed him the Word from 2 Chronicles 7:14:

“If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.”

The pastor said, “If you turn your heart back, God will arrange everything, forgive your sins, and heal your land.” I witnessed my nephew’s life instantly change as he communicated with Pastor Park Ok-soo of Gangnam Church. He received grace and mercy. This brought me immense hope.

“If I repent, God will forgive my sins and heal my land.”

God also transformed my heart. Seeing what God did for my nephew left me amazed and thankful.

One day, a senior colleague I had worked with in Seoul Yongsan for ten years contacted me. I received deeply saddening news: he had terminal lung cancer with little time left and was currently hospitalized.

After returning to the church, I contacted my brother, Pastor Yoo Ho-ryul, and relayed the news. This senior colleague had known my brother through the Marine Corps and had also met him because of evangelism, so speaking with him was natural. My brother shared the gospel with him for over an hour on the phone, and continued multiple times afterward. He also sent images of the Word through WeChat, explaining how our sins are washed away. Through persistent communication, the senior colleague finally gained assurance that his sins had been forgiven. Seeing his joy after salvation filled me with gratitude toward God.

Later, he was discharged and returned home. Together with our church pastor, I visited him. The pastor shared the Word, saying:

“When Jesus died on the Cross, He bore not only our sins but also all our illnesses.”

The senior colleague joyfully responded, “Amen! Amen!”

During the visit, Sister Cho Eun-kyung from our church accompanied us. She shared the testimony of her daughter’s complete recovery from childhood cancer. Hearing how God gave her daughter new strength to overcome the illness, and how she now lived well, we exclaimed “It is done!” and gave thanks and glory to God.

Recently, in my workplace, as I stepped forward relying on Hebrews 11:6, I could see God helping me understand that His Word has power above all else:

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

Through the prayers of the church and my family, God showed mercy on me, who had turned away, called me into His grace, and healed my land.

“He who sent me is with me; He has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases Him.” (John 8:29)

Now I am not alone—The Lord is with me, guiding me to do what pleases God. I recall the hymn “Look Only to the Lord”. I give thanks to the church and my family for praying for me and to God for providing a guide who has led me into the world of grace.

“The Word of the Bible is True!”
Author: Park Jae-hee (Good News Gangnam Church)

I received forgiveness of sins on December 18, 2022. Before salvation, I had attended a Presbyterian church for 15 years. As a sinner, I always lived in sadness. I used to go to church every Wednesday, crying out loud in prayer three times, “Lord, Lord, Lord,” saying, “Please forgive all my sins, intentional and unintentional,” and truly prayed with repentance.

One day, the pastor gave a sermon about an elderly elder who had passed away from cancer. The pastor said: “Why didn’t the elder call upon Jesus’ name before passing away? I don’t know whether the elder went to heaven.” I was shocked when I heard this.

When I returned home, I called the pastor. “Pastor, what do you mean by saying you don’t know if the elder went to heaven?” After his explanation, since I did not fully understand the Word, I let it pass. From then on, I always felt aversion toward the pastor’s sermons. The pastor often said: “As long as you frequently call upon Jesus’ name, as long as you remember His name, you can go to heaven. Such people are the most faithful and sincere believers.”

The pastor mostly emphasized sin in his sermons. Listening to them made me feel very distressed and hurt.

“I need to speak with the pastor.” So I went to see him. However, instead of guiding me to God with the Word, he said I was a “faithless Pharisee.” That day, I felt hurt in my heart and returned home deeply distressed.

Even after speaking with the pastor, I could not find peace. I suffered from insomnia for six months and was even taken to the hospital by ambulance. My physical condition deteriorated, and I felt deeply gloomy every day.

At that time, a friend told me: “Living your faith like this, you cannot go to heaven.” This struck me profoundly. I had always believed: “At least I believe in Jesus, so I can go to heaven.” Then I thought: “Does hating others mean I cannot go to heaven? Because I hate my husband and others?”

“Then I should go and listen at that church.”

So, I followed my friend to a service. After hearing the Word and finishing the worship, I met the pastor. The pastor held the Bible and asked:

“Sister, do you feel sin in your heart?”

“Of course, we sin every day, don’t we?” I answered boldly, though it slightly hurt my pride.

The pastor opened many passages in the Bible and explained them to me. I was utterly astonished! Many verses in the Bible spoke of being “made righteous,” “sins forgiven,” and “made holy.” Among them, Hebrews 10:14 says:

“For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.”

“This Word is also from the Bible! I attended the Presbyterian church for 15 years, yet I never heard this once?” The Presbyterian pastor always said: “Only Jesus is holy; we are all sinners.” That idea had been deeply imprinted in my mind.

In that instant, I rejoiced and said: “This Word is truth! The Word of the Bible is correct!” That day, my sins were forgiven. After salvation, my heart immediately felt light, my depression disappeared, and my physical condition improved. From that moment, I consistently attended church.

“I cannot keep this joy to myself!” From then on, I began to evangelize to my family and friends. I shared the gospel with my parents, who also received salvation. A trusted friend, who had also attended the Presbyterian church for 15 years, received salvation and now attends our mission church. My eldest aunt also received salvation and now comes to our church. My fourth maternal uncle, after watching the Christmas concert and attending the winter camp, was moved and received salvation. He now attends Good News Asan Church. Seeing people around me saved one by one fills me with immense happiness.

Because I did not understand the Word, I had spent 15 years in a sad and joyless church. But now, in Jesus, I live with hope, brightness, and blessings. There is one verse I memorized for an entire year because I love it so much—it is the judgment from God, Romans 3:23-24:

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”

Indeed, as Romans 3:24 declares, I am already righteous. All glory to God.

现在变成了幸福、蒙福的人生

作者：朴钟万（好消息丽水教会）

 

我于2023年10月份得救，之后一直与好消息丽水教会同行。年过六旬的我过着坎坷的生活。父母在我小时候就都去世了。从4岁起，我就住在姑姑家里。我从小到大都是看人眼色行事，挨了很多打，还被表哥表姐讨厌和虐待。我从小就意识到没有人能帮助我，必须靠自己才能活下去，所以咬紧牙关，拼命挣扎着生活。我必须和人们争斗，而且必须取得胜利，所以一直争强好胜地生活过来。为了不在争斗中输掉，我拼命运动，锻炼体力，成了一个好斗之人，心里形成了恶毒的心。

我上过夜间中学、高中，为了赚钱还做过送报、擦皮鞋等各种辛苦、卑贱的工作。我一次也没有去过郊游和修学旅行，也没做过一件开心的事，过着悲伤的人生，常常以泪洗面。同时，我也会想念父母的爱。

高中毕业后，我直接去了首尔。虽然靠打零工挣钱，但生活总是很艰难。我曾在劳役场被扣上小偷的罪名而被带到派出所接受调查，还白白被烟头烫了手腕。每当看到那个疤痕，我就会感到无比委屈，心里非常痛苦。参军后我被调到特种部队，在那里学习武术，接受刻苦的训练。退伍后，我因涉嫌走私，违反了关税法被定为特定罪犯，被收监服刑。从此，我被贴上了“32号犯人”的耻辱标签。

此后，亲弟弟被诊断为肺癌晚期，不幸去世。因为人生太虚无，所以我想拥有信仰，便去了天主教会。但是我看到自己犯了太多的罪，心里还一直产生恶念时，我觉得我无法再过信仰生活了。所以，我去了3个月的教会，之后就放弃了。

几年前，我决定回到故乡丽水生活。这期间，我的人生迎来了幸福的转机。2023年10月底，我偶然去了一家名为“云华珠宝”的店。虽然我和社长金相坤弟兄认识，但是基本上没什么交往。那天，金相坤社长特别关心我，提到一起去他们教会听话语。我拒绝了。他给了我一本书，让我回家读完再说。这本书叫《脱离罪恶》。我回到家里，开始读起了这本书。我感觉这本书正是为了像我这样产生恶念并犯了很多罪的人而写的，所以一口气读完了。耶稣在十字架上流下的宝血彻底洗净了我的罪，这一内容临到了我心里。但是，我并没有拥有得救的确信。

一周后，我受邀参加了在丽水教会举行的长年聚会，当时我确信了我是义人。我相信我重生了，可以去天国了。神成为了我的父，耶稣会帮助我。我心里特别喜乐，犹如在天空翱翔。

学习《以弗所书》2章的话语时，听到耶稣的宝血洗净了我的罪，使我成为圣洁，使我与耶稣合而为一的话语后，心里非常感谢、平安。

就我的健康而言，有个大问题。医生说，因为我抽烟很多，肺部有个洞，活不了多久。医生叫我戒烟，但我戒不了。我向神祷告，祈求父神治好我的肺，让我能够戒烟。我与好消息丽水教会卢勇兆牧师进行了信仰交谈，并接受了按手祷告。

我参加了2023年12月27日开始的冬季修养会，接受了按手祷告。我想神会治好我的病，让我戒烟。神奇的是，从那时起我就没有吸过烟，过了4个月，到了今天也没有吸烟。

参加完冬季修养会回来后，我在周日晚上做礼拜时晕倒了。当时呼吸困难，身体状况非常不好。我被送去了医院急诊室。检查时，医生向我宣告了死亡。“这位患者死定了，准备送太平间！”听到医生的话，我心想：“我要死了啊！”但那时，我又产生了“我得救了，也接受了按手祷告，我不会死”的信心。我能感觉到我的身体开始有了力量。

第二天，卢勇兆牧师来了，说：“耶稣与得救的弟兄同在，会治愈我们的软弱，不要担心，只要相信就行。”牧师的话给了我力量。“你们心里不要忧愁，你们信神，也当信我。”（约14:1）

3天后，我的身体康复了，之后就出院了。现在呼吸通畅，带着健康的面貌，心怀感谢来到教会做礼拜，过着全新的生活。神拯救了曾经生活不幸的我，把我变成了幸福、蒙福的人。感谢能以健康的身体与教会同行，并做这蒙祝福的见证。

有神要做工的旨意

 

在我小时候，母亲就离家出走了。5岁时，我从屋顶掉了下来。因伤势严重，我失去了一边的视力和听力，成了一名残疾人。我从小就感到虚无和空虚，埋怨着这个世界。从13岁开始，我就学习金银珠宝加工技术，10年期间得不到任何报酬。那是一段非常艰难的时光。之后，我在丽水一家工厂工作时，与我们教会连接，并得救了。我感到非常幸福和喜乐。但是结婚后，我跟随“因为穷，所以要赚钱”的想法，远离了教会。在巨大的困难面前，我甚至出现了抑郁症和精神病的症状，非常痛苦。

2023年夏天，妻子和女儿去参加修养会，我一个人在家，想听听话语。我在网上听了话语，当听到“即使得救后再次犯罪跌倒了，耶稣在十字架上流下的宝血也永远洗净了我们的罪”这句话语时，我“阿们”地接受了。在环境面前我的心倒塌了，时隔7年重新回到了教会。与牧师交流时，沉重的心一下子得到了解脱。我产生了我要过信仰生活的心。

有一天，朴钟万来到了我店里。聊着聊着，才知道他是个非常不幸的人。我给了他一本《脱离罪恶》让他读，并约定下次见面再聊。几天后，他对我说：“读了书，我好像没罪了。”我带他去了教会，看到他与牧师交流时确信得救并喜乐的样子，我也非常喜乐和感谢。看到神做了工，通过像我这样的人也能传播宝贵的福音，我心里非常感谢。

有神想通过我做工的旨意，但是我却相信我的想法，离开教会，所以神在我身上什么工也做不了。感谢主爱我，怜恤我，让我回到教会，使我撇弃我的想法，让我变成了接受教会引导的幸福之人。

“使我们管理一切”

作者：刘秀烈（好消息始兴教会）

 

2023年12月的最后一天，我一个人在家一边喝酒，一边观看海外足球转播。上半场结束后是广告时间，我突然想起：“今天这个时间，朴玉洙牧师应该会传讲新年话语吧。”在距离2024年新年还有10秒的时候，我登录了我们宣教会的网站。辞旧迎新礼拜正在现场直播，接着朴牧师传讲了2024年的新年贺词。

“神说：‘我们要照着我们的形像，按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜和全地，并地上所爬的一切昆虫。’”（创1:26）

牧师所讲的是一个与我的样子形成鲜明对比的不同世界。这话语让我备受冲击。

我很久以前就得救了，但一直按照自己的想法生活。如果环境不好就离开教会，彷徨了又再回到教会，然后又跟随环境远离教会……这样的生活反反复复，让我很痛苦。去年我也离开了教会，365天每天靠喝酒寻求安慰。但是，神向着全世界得救的圣徒们说：“我要使按照神的形像被造的你们管理全地和一切。”在与我完全相反、与我的处境相去甚远的话语面前，我想：“像我这样的人也能像话语一样改变吗？”我怀着一线希望迎来了新年第一天。

2024年1月1日是工作日。早早结束工作后，我与公司晚辈一起吃晚饭。和平时一样，我们各自喝了1瓶半的烧酒就散了。即使是新的一年，戒酒也是无法想象的事情。

然而，从第二天开始，一年到头每天都喝的酒的味道神奇般地从记忆中消失了，甚至已经上瘾的赌球也与我的觉悟和决心完全无关地彻底戒掉了。神的话语自然而然地使我的生活远离了所有不好的事。神说“使我们管理一切”，所以酒瘾和赌瘾也像顺从神的话语一样被驱赶了，我心里有了这样的心。这太让人惊讶了。4个月过去了，我仍过着全新的生活。

从那以后，神让我在教会的引导之下生活。在神仆人的引导和祷告中，我能听主日礼拜的话语，听聚会的话语，经常通过YouTube听话语，并且在我心里填满了想传福音的心。

在这种情况下，我从远离教会的侄子那里也看到了神的做工。神把他放进困难之中，使他成为了无话可说的罪人。侄子走到了好消息富川教会的牧师面前。牧师给他看了《历代志下》7章14节的话语，“这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。”并说：“如果你回转心，神就会整理这一切问题，赦免你的罪，医治你的地。”而且我看到，侄子在和江南教会朴玉洙牧师交流的过程中，陷入困难的侄子的生活瞬间就改变了，并蒙到了恩典。这件事给我带来了很大的盼望。

“如果我悔改，神也会赦免我的罪，医治我的地。”

神也改变了我的心。看到神在侄子身上所做的工，我感到既惊讶又感谢。

 

有一天，之前在首尔龙山一起工作10年的前辈联系了我。我听到了令人非常惋惜的消息：他因肺癌晚期所剩时间不多，目前正在住院。

我回到教会后，重新开始联系弟弟——刘浩烈牧师。我给弟弟也转达了前辈的消息。前辈也是刘浩烈牧师在海军陆战队时的前辈，之前也因为弟弟传福音而认识，所以可以很自然地通话。

弟弟通过电话传了一个多小时的福音，之后也多次通过电话传福音。弟弟还通过微信给前辈发送“成了”的话语图片，向他说明我们的罪是如何被洗净的。经过不断地交流，前辈终于确信罪得赦免了。看着前辈得救后喜乐的样子，我心里非常感谢神。

后来，他出院回了家。于是，我和我们教会的牧师一起拜访了前辈家。牧师给他传了话语，说：“耶稣在十字架上死去的时候，不仅背负了我们的罪，还担当了所有的疾病。”前辈喜乐地回应：“阿们！阿们！”

去探访时，我们教会的赵恩京姊妹也想一同前往。她去了之后，向前辈讲述了她女儿小儿癌症痊愈的见证。当我们听到神赐予她女儿新的力量，让她战胜疾病，并且现在过得很好的见证时，我们在神的大能面前激动得高喊“成了”、“都好了”，并将感谢和荣耀归与神。

最近在职场中，当我依靠《希伯来书》11章6节的话语迈步时，能看到神在帮助我，让我明白话语比任何东西都有能力。

“人非有信，就不能得神的喜悦；因为到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。”（来11:6）

藉着教会和家人的祷告，神怜悯了离开神的我，将我呼召到神的恩典中，并医治我的地。

“那差我来的，是与我同在；他没有撇下我独自在这里，因为我常作他所喜悦的事。”（约8:29）

现在我不是一个人，而是主与我同在，并让我常做神所喜悦的事。我想起了《单单仰望主》的赞美诗。感谢一直为我祷告的教会和家人，感谢神为我树立引导者，将我引领到恩典的世界中。

圣经话语是对的！

作者：朴在熙（好消息江南教会）

 

我是2022年12月18日罪得赦免的。在得救之前，我去了15年的长老教会。那时，我作为罪人总是悲伤地生活着。以前，我每周三都去教会痛声祷告，三呼“主啊，主啊，主啊”，并说“请饶恕我一切有意无意犯下的罪”，真的做了很多悔改祷告。

有一天，教会的牧师讲道的时候，讲了年迈的劝士因癌症去世的事情。牧师说：“劝士去世之前为什么不喊耶稣的名字呢？我不知道劝士有没有去天国。”听了那句话，我大吃一惊。

回到家，我给牧师打了电话。“牧师，您说不知道劝士是否去了天国是什么意思？”听了牧师的一番解释，因为我不太了解话语，所以这事就这么过去了。从那以后，我心里总是很反感牧师的讲道。平时，牧师总是说：“只要经常呼喊耶稣的名字，只要记住耶稣的名字，就能去天国，这样的人就是最有信心、最真诚的信徒。”

牧师更多地讲了关于罪的部分。听着讲道，我心里非常难受和痛苦。

“我得和牧师交流一下。”于是，我去找了牧师。但是牧师不是用神的话语引导我走到神面前，而是说我是“没有信心的法利赛人”。那天我心里受到了伤害，回到了家。我内心极其痛苦。

和牧师交流也不行，我持续失眠了6个月，还曾被救护车送去过医院。我身体也非常不舒服，整日郁郁寡欢。

“牧师是神所树立的先知，也是属神的人，我不能讨厌牧师。看来我得再去交流一下。”于是，我又去找了牧师。可我们的交流依然不畅，我心里更加难受，受到了更大的伤害。由于和一直非常依赖的牧师交流不畅，我心里真的很空虚，身体状况也变得越发糟糕。

正好这时，一位朋友跟我说，“像你那样过信仰生活，是去不了天国的。”我受到了很大的冲击。因为我坚定地认为：“我至少相信耶稣，所以能去天国。”我又想：“恨人就等于杀人了，难道因为我恨丈夫，恨别人，所以不能去天国吗？”

“那我去那个教会听一听吧。”

就这样，我跟着朋友参加了礼拜。听完话语，礼拜结束后，我见到了牧师。牧师拿着《圣经》说，

“姊妹心里有罪吗？”

“当然了，我们不是天天犯罪吗？”

虽然我感觉有点伤自尊，但我还是理直气壮地说了。牧师翻开许多圣经章节给我看，然后给我讲解。我大吃一惊！《圣经》里很多地方都写着“成义了”、“罪得赦免了”、“圣洁了”。其中，《希伯来书》10章14节中说：“因为他一次献祭，便叫那得以成圣的人永远完全。”

“这话语也是圣经话语，我去了15年的长老教会，为什么一次都没听过呢？”长老教会的牧师总是说：“只有耶稣是圣洁的，我们都是罪人。”所以那句话深深印在了我的心里。

瞬间，我高兴地说：“这话语是真理！圣经话语是对的！”那天我罪得赦免了。得救后，我心里立刻变得轻松了，忧郁也消失了，身体也变好了。从那时候开始，我一直坚持去教会。“我不能独享这份喜乐！”从那时起，我开始对家人和朋友传福音。我也给父母传了福音，父母也都得救了；一位相互信赖、去了15年长老教会的朋友也得救了，现在来我们宣教会聚会；大姑子也得救了，开始来我们宣教会；四姨父也在观看圣诞节音乐会演出后深受感动，在参加冬季令营时得救了，现在去好消息牙山教会。看到我周围的人一个一个地得救，我真是太幸福了。

因为不明白话语，我15年来去了令人悲伤、不开心的教会，但现在在耶稣里过着有盼望、明亮、蒙福的生活。有一句圣经话语，因为我很喜欢，所以背了一年。那就是神所下的判决书——《罗马书》3章23节、24节的话语。

“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀，如今却蒙神的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白地称义。”

的确，正如《罗马书》3章24节所说，我已经是义人了。将荣耀归于神。
