I was born into a pastor’s family. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and even my grandfather’s grandfather were all pastors or pastoral staff members. I naturally grew up fearing God, went to church, and was familiar with the Bible. I also considered myself to be more religious than my friends.
When I was a college student, I began to question whether what I had learned at church was the truth or just tradition and custom. While searching for an answer, I met members of the Church of God. What I heard when I was invited to their Bible study was amazing. It was a truth I had never heard of before. I was surprised to see Jesus celebrating the Passover the night before he was crucified. Although I attended church all my life and my father was a pastor, I had never heard that Jesus kept the Passover or that He told us to keep it. Since Jesus kept the Passover, of course I too wanted to celebrate the Passover.
Even when I came across the portions of the Bible that said the Sabbath is Saturday, I could not deny it because I believed in the Bible. It was clearly God’s teaching that must be followed. Having grown up in a very religious environment, I compared the teachings of the Church of God with other denominations I had previously attended, and I was immediately able to confirm that the Church of God is the true church.
What moved me the most was the fact that God the Mother exists. In the past, I studied the Bible extensively as a Christian; yet, I always felt that the interpretation of the Bible I studied was lacking something. In particular, the prophecy about New Jerusalem in Revelation 21 and 22 is interpreted differently by each church, but it seemed like a prophecy too important to be interpreted lightly. I thought it would contain more secrets, but I was shocked to learn at the Church of God that New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb, is God the Mother. It seemed like all the scattered puzzle pieces finally fit together.
The Bible is the word of God. I thought that if God wrote the Bible, there must be truths in the Bible that even the smartest biblical scholars and religious leaders in the world were not aware of. When I read the Bible about God the Mother, I felt that God the Mother is the truth of mystery. Numerous verses and prophecies in the Bible testify that salvation is given through God the Mother. If we remove those verses and the prophecies about God the Mother from the Bible, we will never be able to understand God’s plan of salvation. I was also impressed to learn that God the Mother appeared in the first chapter of Genesis and the last chapter of Revelation. God the Mother surely exists, and the existence of God the Mother is testified from the beginning to the end of the Bible.
It was easy to believe in the existence of God the Mother through the Bible, but it was difficult to believe that God the Mother came in the flesh. When Jesus came 2,000 years ago, the Israelites and the religious leaders rejected Jesus who came in the flesh, not because the prophecies of the Bible were difficult to understand, but because they were unable to break out their own thoughts and ideas. After seeing this history, I realized that I, too, was trapped in a fixed idea about God. I realized that I should receive God with faith to fear God, letting go of my limited thoughts and prejudices.
If you find it difficult to believe in God the Mother, I would ask you to look around your surrounding environment. Mothers are everywhere in nature which God has made. The continuation of life through mothers is an unchangeable law given by the Creator. Isn’t there a reason God made them that way? What is God trying to teach us through this? The Bible says that God’s divine nature can be seen in all things. The existence of a mother who gives life to her children is clear evidence that there is God in the form of a woman, who created such an order.
From childhood, many people have grown up, believing that there is only God the Father, and they have considered that to be the only truth. However, we must be wiser and more humble in order to realize what we do not yet know. This is because only God knows what is truth. Since God has testified in the Bible that God the Mother exists, we should use the word of God as our standard rather than our own limited experience or knowledge.
I am now a happier, more positive and confident person than I was before I learned the truth. In the past, I used to worry about whether I would always be able to make the right choices and whether I would be able to live my one and only life well. After learning God’s commandments, I am very happy because I can obey God correctly, live a valuable life as a child of God, and return to heaven.
If you are wondering whether to attend the Church of God, please study the Bible first. You will come to know God and learn what He has done for us. Then, try visiting the Church of God on a day when there is no worship service so you can meet church members and feel comfortable in a new environment. In the Church of God, everyone is welcome and can receive God’s abundant grace and love, which is freely given both spiritually and physically.
Going to church means keeping worship services, and worship is an act of giving your heart and love to God. If you do not know God or the way of worship that God wants while worshiping, you will be unable to put your whole heart into worship, and you will feel anxious because you do not know whether the worship you are offering is pleasing to God. However, when you learn the words of the Bible fully in the Church of God, you will be able to worship God correctly with all your heart and be filled with joy and confidence that you will receive blessings and eternal life.
