Shincheonji - Why did Jesus bear the cross?

There are two main reasons Jesus bore the cross. The crucifixion allowed for the atonement of the sins of men (Mt 26:28; Ro 6:6-11), and it allowed God and Jesus to come and unite with people who have no sin (Ac 2:36-38; Gal 2:20; Ro 8:9-11). Before the crucifixion, the spirit was not yet with people (Jn 7:38-39), but after Jesus was crucified he breathed on people and told them to receive the spirit (Jn 20:22-23). Jesus, right before his ascension, commanded his disciples to wait for the holy spirit that the Father promised to send and to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth after the spirit came upon them (Ac 1:4-8). After that, they received the spirit Jesus had promised and went on to preach the gospel (Ac 2:1-4). The holy spirit, which left people because of their sins, was able to return to people without sin because Jesus bore the cross on behalf of his disciples to atone for their sins. Where does Jesus currently reside?

Let us truly believe by meditating on the following scriptures:

• I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20)

• You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. (Jn 14:20)

• Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:20)

• And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!” (Gal 4:6)

• You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you. (Ro 8:9-11)

• We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God’s field, God’s building.  (1Co 3:9)

• Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? (1Co 3:16)

• Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Rev 20:4, NASB)

According to the scriptures, Jesus resides within us after he has atoned for our sins. This is why he bore the cross and it is our hope. It is wrong to talk about the Bible if you do not understand it fully and if you are not a Christian. These people are not qualified to talk about the Bible. You must proclaim and testify the truth only after receiving the holy spirit that allows you to see, hear, and master the Bible. You should be thankful that you now know the true meaning of Jesus’ cross, which we proclaim for our own salvation.

Shincheonji - God’s Kingdom and Salvation In the New Testament

Main reference: Rv 12


When does the kingdom of God, salvation and the promised pastor, spoken of by Jesus, appear in the New Testament?

The fulfillment of Revelation begins in Revelation chapters 1, 2, 3 with the appearance of the messengers of the seven golden lampstand (7 stars), at the location of the tabernacle of the seven stars. The tabernacle of heaven recorded in Revelation chapters 13, 12 is also this tabernacle of the seven stars.

After the time of Jesus’ first coming, the work of first heaven and first earth continues until the time of the messengers who prepare the way, the pastors-the messengers of the seven golden lampstands, created at the time of the fulfillment of Revelation (Rv 6). After this, the promised kingdom in the New Testament – the era of the new heaven and new earth, is opened (Rv 7).

In other words, the prophecies of the New Testament, the prophets (pastors), and the era of the church (Jesus’ church), the era of first heaven and first earth, ends at the time of the seven messengers who prepare the way. From this time on, the promised kingdom, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, New Heaven and New Earth begins and there is salvation for the people through the promised pastor, the one who overcomes. The one who correctly examines Scriptures will know this to be true. However, if one does not examine them correctly, they will not know who, when, or where the savior, the promised pastor is coming.

Currently, the pastors and congregation members of the world believe, regardless of who it is, all will be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven. However this is an incorrect understanding, and they do not know the Scriptures or the will of God, which is why they are being mislead into believing this misunderstanding (refer to Mt 22:29). This thinking is just like the people of Israel believing they received salvation through the Law of Moses.

There is a will and purpose to the New Testament (new covenant), and since it was promised that this purpose was going to be fulfilled, it must absolutely be fulfilled. This is the same as when Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament.  

In Revelation chapter 13, the messengers who prepared the way lost the battle with the beast – the pastors of the dragon (Satan). In Revelation chapter 12, the male child (born of the woman clothed with the sun), and his brothers fight the group of the dragon and overcome. From that time on, there is salvation and God’s kingdom upon this world. This child is the promised pastor, born of the woman in front of the dragon.  

This male child becomes Israel after he overcomes (refer to Gn 32:28), and creates the 12 tribes, just like Jacob and Jesus. It is no longer about receiving salvation simply because one says, “I am saved, I received the Holy Spirit, and I am orthodoxy.” That is not meeting the requirements to go to heaven. All these are only words of lies which man has made up.

Both, the person who has the spirit of God within him, and the person who has the spirit of Satan within him, proclaim they each have received the spirit of God. They each claim they are orthodoxy, and consider the other a cult. This problem can only be resolved by the Holy Spirit. It is orthodoxy and the true creation of God, only if it is fulfilled and created according to the Scriptures. After the first heaven and first earth are destroyed in Revelation chapter 6, the new heaven and new earth are created in Revelation chapter 7. This new heaven and new earth is also the kingdom that is spoken of and created in Revelation chapter 14.

The congregation members, who are one and unite with the savior and the promised 12 tribes recorded in the scriptures, distinguishing the location and events of betrayal, destruction and salvation, are those who will gain salvation and enter heaven. The one who overcomes is the promised pastor, the savior. He is the one who receives the promised blessings recorded in Revelation chapters 2 & 3.

I pray everyone will read, believe and inherit salvation.
