Precious!

Guru Gobind Singh came back on the stage with a bleeding sword. The people shouted. I am happy now. I was worried about who will lead this Sikh community after my death. But now I am very happy to see that there are generations here who are strong enough to raise them so that this community can grow in peace. Those who gave their lives for this community are still the members of this group. I am introducing them to you. After saying this, Guru Gobind Singh went backstage and brought the 5 young men to the stage. These five people, who showed their willingness to give their lives for their own community, will continue to lead the way for this community. These are the Pancha priests (five priests). Taking each one of them to the back of the stage, Guru Gobind Singh returned to the stage with a blood-drenching sword and cut down the goat behind him, bleeding.

Sikhs were there to give their lives, to give their blood for the beloved community. Who is there to give blood, to give life for Christianity? Who is to say that I do not count my soul precious? Who is there to say that I live for Christ and die for gain? In 1:21, the apostle Paul wrote to the Philippians, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. The specialness of this blood can be read in 1 John 1:7 The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. The blood of Jesus is immortal. This is living blood. It is the blood that gives life. This is powerful blood. It is the blood that speaks positively. This is the justifying blood. It is the redemptive blood of the remission of sins. It is the blood that saves us from God's wrath. It is blood that heals by beating. It is the blood that brings us near who were far away. This is the blood of the atoning sacrifice. This blood is the new testament. This blood is the price of redemption. This blood sets us free. This blood removes bad conscience. This blood is the removal of condemnation. The blood of the Lamb makes us overcome. This blood gives entrance to the holy temple. Sinless blood.

A valuable fourth topic is promise. Let's read 2 Peter 1:4 by which he has given us precious and great promises. There are many estimates of the number of promises in the Bible. 3000, 5467, 7000, 8000 etc. But in a word, to a child of God, every word in the Bible is a promise. Because in this we have been given everything for life and devotion. What is special about these promises? Let's read 1 Kings 8:56 Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised; For of all His good promises which He spoke through His servant Moses, not one of them failed. God delivered his people Israel from Egypt and brought them to the promised land. These are the words of the prayer that Solomon sings in praise of the God who spoke to Moses, the God who kept the promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Here we see the unchanging God.

Now if we collect all the promises that are in this book of truth, we can see it in one word and read 1 John 2:25 This is the promise that he gave us: eternal life. Eternal life is the fulfillment of the promises. Eternal life is the promise made for us who have been lying in the pit of sin, in the pit of sin, and running towards eternal hellfire. Let's read what God has prepared for us Titus 1:2 Eternal life which God promised before all time. Before all time, in time immemorial, the privilege of eternal life was prepared for us. We must ask and receive this promise of eternal life regardless of merit. If we ask, Lord, give me a portion for this eternity, God who does not lie is willing to give us this promise of eternal life. I have heard a story. A man who is very financially struggling prays to God. Lord God I need a financial help to overcome my difficulties. You know the way I always walk. Now, as I walk there, show me a treasure on the way. He walked praying like this. One day, two days, three days, one week. Prayer is always going on. On the way, I looked at every spot and did not find any treasure. The next day he decided that all this past week I have been praying and looking at every spot on the way, but God has not given me any treasure. So today I am going to walk with my eyes closed. That day, God wrapped a treasure and carried it along the path of this man. Because he walked with his eyes closed, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't own it. But dear ones who listen to me, let us not walk with our eyes closed to receive the promises given to us, but let us boldly ask God to receive those promises according to His Word. He who promised is faithful. It is God who does not lie who has given us the promises.

May God Bless you..
