(Luke 12:1-12) "My fellow believers, what are the bad points of the hypocritical Pharisees? One of them is that they didn’t accept Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the work that He did because they thought they lived really righteous and good lives. Those Jews didn’t believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and they thought a new Messiah would come from Heaven. But what is the truth? Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth 2000 years ago and fulfilled all God’s righteousness by taking all mankind’s sins by His baptism in the Jordan River and dying on the Cross. Anyone can receive the remission of all his sins if he completely knows and believes in this work that Jesus Christ did. But the Pharisees and lawyers didn’t believe this fact. What was their reason? It was because they put the Word of God in the same precepts that came down from the mouths of the teachers of the Law and served it that way. They didn’t care very much about what the Bible said about it. For example, they inherited traditions from the elders and said, “A person who eats without washing his hands is a rude and dirty person who doesn’t believe in God.” That’s the way they were. According to the precepts they inherited, a person who did not wash his hands was not a person who believed in God and a person who degenerated into a sinner. My fellow believers, we must know well what it is that Jesus Christ says. That is because we are prone to have the same faith as these Pharisees if we screw up. If we make just a small mistake, we can place the traditional teachings kept by the big denominations of the world like the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Full Gospel Church who are prevalent in the world, in the same place as the Bible and believe in them instead of having faith founded in the Word of God. You and I should never believe that way. Only God is good, and only His Word is right. No ideology or denomination can be spoken of on the same level as God. Therefore, we must correctly know and believe in the Word in the Bible by carefully considering each word to figure out what it’s saying and examining the context. You can also come into upright faith immediately if you come to completely receive the remission of all your sins through the Bible. It is just like when Nicodemus came to Jesus Christ and was born again that same night. Thus, it doesn’t require a lot of time for you to be born again." Paul C Jong
