INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that faith is not about rituals or outward religion—it is the natural result of the mind becoming enlightened.
True belief arises only when the human mind is cleansed, sins are absolved, and one is reborn as the child of Truth. Only then does Jesus truly live within one’s mind. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Faith Comes When the Mind Enlightens
Christians are correct when they say ‘if you have faith in Jesus, your sins will be absolved and you will become righteous and be a child of God’. But there are many who think that to merely attend church is faith.
What, then, is the definition of faith? Is faith about diligently going to church, or praying at dawn every day? Is faith singing and preaching well or reading the Bible often? Or is it to pray a lot? The Bible says those who merely call upon the Lord cannot go to heaven; only one who is born again can go to heaven.
To be reborn is to be absolved of all your sins, to become Truth, and to become righteous. It means one has become the child of God and believes in the living God, the Creator, and Jesus.
He who is reborn as the child of the Creator, Truth, is the one who truly believes in Jesus. To be truly reborn is to be reborn as the child of Truth when your mind becomes one with the Creator. When you have Jesus in your mind is when you believe in the true Jesus. There is no Truth, no Jesus, in the human mind.
But Jesus is in the one who cleanses his human mind and has been absolved of all his sins; that is when he truly believes in Jesus, who is Truth.
Faith comes when one’s mind is enlightened, and enlightenment comes only when one heads towards Truth by the absolution of his sins. The extent to which one has Truth is relative to the extent his mind has expanded and become clean. As this happens, one begins to know Truth; this is enlightenment.
One truly, sincerely believes only when belief is in one’s mind, the primary condition for which is being absolved of all his sins. When you are absolved, you will become righteous and be reborn; you will become the child of God.
Only a true child of God believes in Jesus. Only those who believe, follow, and act according to the words of Jesus, who is Truth, can they be absolved of all their sins and become the righteous, the children of God, and can go to eternal heaven.
They will be born in heaven while alive and work for the kingdom of heaven while alive. To be absolved of sin is to accomplish all, and that is true faith.
