We who live in this world are like the Israelites traveling through the wilderness towards the promised land (heaven)...🤔.

...There are difficulties in life. There will be worries.

But Jesus is with us, always walking with us❗️
...Humans have free will.

Unfortunately...😥
No matter how much grace and strength the Lord gives us...
Those who forget to be grateful will not realize that it is God's grace...

There are far too many cases where people drift away from the church... from Jesus...😰
Even now...
I am praying for those people to return to God❗️.

..."That example of disobedience" refers to...
...In the Book of Exodus...the people who did not give thanks to God, spoke negatively, treated their leader Moses lightly...and were destroyed in the wilderness...

Even if you drift away from Jesus...If you continue to pray for them without giving up, they may return to God's house.

…The “salvation” given to us is not something as easy as automatically receiving a ticket to heaven.
Because “confessing Jesus as Lord” also means clashing with a way of life that “conforms to this world” (Romans 12:2).
…This world is full of temptations, and Satan is currently working desperately to corrupt God’s people.
…Our fleshly strength cannot pass the test of this journey in the wilderness…😢
…Through God’s word and the help of the Holy Spirit, we can… enter into rest❗️.

Shalom😃
