===God the Father===
The Church of God firmly believes in the [[Trinity]], and regards knowing the [[name of God]] as a matter directly related to one's salvation. The Trinity means that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the same in essence even though [[God the Father]] plays three different roles in each age. The Church of God believes that God [[God the Father (Jehovah)|the Father Jehovah]] from the times of the Old Testament, came as [[God the Son (Jesus)|God the Son]] Jesus in the New Testament times. Furthermore, it believes that Jesus Christ who has come a second time in this age according to the prophecies of the Bible, that is, [[the Holy Spirit]] is [[Ahnsahnghong|Christ Ahnsahnghong]].

It is prophesied in the Bible that [[Christ]] is to sit on the [[Prophecy of King David’s Throne|throne of King David]]. [[David|King David]] sat on the throne when he was 30 years old and reigned for 40 years. Jesus was [[Baptism|baptized]] at 30 years of age according to the prophecy, but He died on the [[cross]] after preaching for only three years. Therefore, when Jesus comes a second time, he is to preach the gospel for the remaining thirty-seven years after his baptism at the age 30 and then pass away.<ref name="히9">{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9%3A27-28&version=NIV |title=Hebrews 9:27–28 |quote= }}</ref> It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who has fulfilled all these prophecies. He was born in Korea—the country at the ends of the earth in the east, according to the prophecy of the Bible, and began His gospel ministry in 1948 and returned to heaven in 1985.


=== ऐतिहासिक सङ्ग्रहालय ===
The most important reason the Church of God believes in Ahnsahnghong as Jesus who has come a second time is that He gives eternal life to humans who are all mortal beings. The evening before the [[Suffering on the Cross|Crucifixion]], Jesus Christ celebrated the [[Passover]]; He gave bread and wine to His disciples as the symbols of His flesh and blood and promised them the forgiveness of sins and eternal life, saying, “This cup is the new covenant.” The [[The New Covenant Passover|Passover of the new covenant]] had been observed until the Apostolic Age, but it disappeared as the church became secularized. For about 1,600 years throughout the Dark Ages and the Reformation, no one had been able to restore the Passover. However, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the new covenant and led mankind to eternal life and salvation. Therefore, He is God the Father—Christ Himself, who has come a second time.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개">{{Cite web|url=https://watv.org/truth-intro/ |title=The Church of God Introduction |website=WATV.org}}</ref>

===God the Mother===
The Church of God believes in [[God the Mother]] as well as God the Father. Many people believe there is only one God—God the Father. However, the Bible testifies about both God the Father and God the Mother as it states that there is “Our Father in heaven,”<ref name="마6">{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A9&version=NIV |title=Matthew 6:9 |quote= }}</ref>and also that “The Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”<ref name="우리어머니"/> <br>God appears as a male God and a female God throughout the Bible from the [[book of Genesis]] to the [[book of Revelation]]. In Genesis 1, God created man, saying, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,” and male and female were created in the [[image of God]]. This proves that the female image of God [Mother] exists as well as the male image of God [Father].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A26-27&version=NIV |title=Genesis 1:26–27 |quote=}}</ref><br>Moreover, the plural noun [[Elohim]] [Gods] is used in the Hebrew Bible more than 2,500 times, starting from the first verse of the Bible that says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The Creator of the heavens and the earth is not a singular God, but Elohim [Gods].

===God Comes in the Flesh===
; सुरुवाती चरण सन् १९४८ – १९८५
The Church of God believes that [[God the Father and God the Mother]] have come in human form to save all mankind in the Age of the Holy Spirit, not only existing as spirits. The church believes that God is omniscient and omnipotent, so He can come to this earth as a human at anytime He desires, and that we must believe in God who has come in human form according to the prophecies of the Bible.

[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Christianity Christianity] is a religion that believes in God who has come in the flesh to give mankind salvation. The Bible testifies about Jesus Christ who was born as a baby 2,000 years ago: “God, the Word in the beginning, became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A1-14&version=NIV |title=John 1:1–14 |quote=}}</ref> The Christian doctrine that God came as a human being provoked great animosity among the followers of Judaism, which was a mainstream religion in those days. The Jews attempted to kill Jesus Christ, accusing Him, saying, “You, a mere man, claim to be God.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A33&version=NIV |title=John 10:33 |quote=}}</ref> Eventually, they crucified Him under the false charges that were hurled against him.<br>However, after the [[resurrection]] and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascension of Christ]], His disciples strongly testified about the “man Christ Jesus,” emphasizing their faith in God who came in the flesh.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+2%3A5&version=NIV |title=1 Timothy 2:5 |quote=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A5-8&version=NIV |title=Philippians 2:5–8 |quote=}}</ref> Since that time, Jesus Christ has been proclaimed throughout the world as the Savior of mankind, and is worshiped by people all around the world. The Bible prophesies that Christ will appear a second time to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.<ref name="히9" /> The prophecy of His second coming indicates His appearing in the flesh in the same manner as His first coming. God the Father and God the Mother are to come to this earth in the flesh as the Spirit and the Bride, saying, “Come and take the water of life,” just as God, who is the Word, did when He came as a man 2,000 years ago.<ref name=":0" /> The Church of God believes that the Spirit and the Bride are to come in the flesh to give the water of life in this age as prophesied in the Bible, just as Christ came as a man 2,000 years ago as prophesied in the Bible.

The titles of "father" and "mother" are used in a family. The earthly family consisting of a father, a mother, and children is actually a copy and shadow of the heavenly family.

They take pride in being God’s children and the members of the heavenly family. Since the earthly family reflects the heavenly family, they love their family members and pay attention to improving harmony and happiness within the family. According to the teachings of the Bible, they try to make their home as if it were a part of heaven by honoring their parents, showing affection to their children, maintaining a strong bond among their siblings, and loving their spouses as themselves. They also care about well-being and happiness of all people and willingly volunteer to help people who are in various difficulties.

The Church of God keeps the feasts of the new covenant according to the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. The most important celebrations observed by the Church include the weekly [[Sabbath]] and seven annual feasts in three times, including the Passover. Each of these feasts is based on the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments. They all contain the blessings of God, which are closely related to the salvation of mankind, such as the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the hope of the resurrection, and holiness. The Church of God keeps the feasts according to the laws of the new covenant just as they are recorded in the Bible. The members give thanks to God for His grace and love through godly worship, and by giving glory to God with prayer and praise.

Historical facts and calendars show that the Sabbath is Saturday according to the modern 7-day week system. Jesus clearly stated that He is the Lord of the Sabbath,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12%3A8&version=NIV |title=Matthew 12:8 |quote=}}</ref> and set an example of keeping the Sabbath of the New Testament by worshiping God in spirit and in truth and doing what is good. This was contrary to the regulation of the Old Testament where lambs had to be sacrificed. We can confirm through the Bible that not only Jesus and His disciples but also Apostle Paul kept the Sabbath as a custom even after the Crucifixion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+17%3A2&version=NIV |title=Acts 17:2 |quote=}}</ref>

하나님의 교회는 [[성삼위일체]]를 확고히 믿으며 [[하나님의 이름]]을 아는 것이 구원과 직결되는 문제라 본다. 성삼위일체는 [[아버지 하나님]]이 각 시대마다 성부, 성자, 성령으로서 다른 이름으로 역사하나 그 근본은 동일하다는 의미다. 하나님의 교회는 구약시대 [[성부 (여호와)|성부]] [[여호와]] 하나님이 신약시대에 [[하나님의 아들|아들]]([[성자 (예수)|성자]]) 입장으로 오신 분이 예수님이며, 성경 예언대로 이 시대 재림한 예수 그리스도([[성령]])가 곧 [[안상홍님]]이라 믿는다.

성경에 따르면 [[그리스도]]는 [[다윗 왕위의 예언|다윗의 왕위]]를 받는다고 예언되어 있다. [[다윗]]은 30세에 왕위에 올라 40년간 통치했다. 예언을 따라 30세에 [[침례 (세례)|침례]]를 받은 예수님은 3년간 가르침을 전한 후 [[십자가]]에 못 박혀 돌아가셨다. 따라서 재림 예수님 또한 30세에 침례 받고 예언상 남은 기간인 37년간 복음을 전파하고 돌아가셔야 한다.<ref name="히9">{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/히브리서#9장 |title=히브리서 9:27-28 |quote= 한 번 죽는 것은 사람에게 정하신 것이요 그 후에는 심판이 있으리니 이와 같이 그리스도도 많은 사람의 죄를 담당하시려고 단번에 드리신 바 되셨고 구원에 이르게 하기 위하여 죄와 상관 없이 자기를 바라는 자들에게 두 번째 나타나시리라}}</ref> 이 예언을 성취한 분이 안상홍님이다. 안상홍님은 성경 예언을 따라 동방 땅끝 나라인 대한민국에 태어나 1948년 복음 생애를 시작해 1985년 하늘로 돌아가셨다.<br>
====Sunday Worship Is a Commandment Made by Men====
하나님의 교회가 안상홍님을 재림 예수님으로 믿는 가장 주요한 근거는 죽을 수밖에 없는 인류에게 영원한 생명을 주신 분이라는 데 있다. 예수 그리스도는 [[십자가 고난|십자가 희생]] 전날 밤, [[유월절]]을 지키면서 자신의 살과 피를 상징하는 떡과 포도주를 제자들에게 주어 영생과 죄 사함을 약속하고 이를 새 언약이라 했다. [[새 언약 유월절]]은 사도 시대까지 지켜졌으나 교회가 세속화되면서 사라졌고 종교암흑세기, 종교개혁 시대를 거치는 1600년 동안 아무도 찾지 못했다. 그러므로 새 언약을 회복하여 인류를 영생과 구원의 길로 인도한 안상홍님은 재림 그리스도이며 아버지 하나님이다.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개">{{Cite web|url=https://watv.org/ko/truth-intro/ |title=하나님의 교회 진리 소개 |website=하나님의교회 세계복음선교협회 웹사이트}}</ref>
Sunday is widely accepted as the Christian day of worship, however, the basis for it cannot be found in the Bible. Throughout the Apostolic Age, the Sabbath was kept according to the Bible, but a conflict began to arise as the church became secularized and the Western churches, which were centered in Rome, insisted on observing [[Lord’s Day Worship (Sunday Worship)|Sunday worship]].


===어머니 하나님===
In AD 313, Emperor [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Constantine-I-Roman-emperor Constantine] officially recognized Christianity, and in AD 321 he decreed that Sunday should be a day of rest and worship, calling the first day of the week the “venerable day of the sun.” It was this that caused the Sabbath worship to completely disappear and be replaced with the observance of Sunday worship. At that time, Constantine’s order was that all judges, citizens, and craftsmen should rest on the venerable day of the Sun. In other words, Sunday was not a day to worship Christ, but a day to worship the sun-god, which most Romans believed in at that time. From then on, Sunday worship established itself as the tradition of the church, and is the reason why most churches worship on Sunday even until today. However, the Church of God adheres to the teachings of the Bible and thus worships on Saturday, the seventh-day Sabbath, regardless of how long other churches have held onto man-made tradition of Sunday worship.
하나님의 교회는 아버지 하나님과 더불어 [[어머니 하나님]]도 믿는다. 많은 사람들이 하나님을 '아버지 하나님' 한 분이라 믿고 있으나, 성경은 "하늘에 계신 우리 아버지"<ref name="마6">{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/마태복음#6장 |title=마태복음 6:9 |quote= 그러므로 너희는 이렇게 기도하라 하늘에 계신 우리 아버지여 이름이 거룩히 여김을 받으시오며}}</ref>는 물론, "위에 있는 예루살렘은 자유자니 곧 우리 어머니라"<ref name="우리어머니" /> 하여 영의 아버지와 어머니를 증거하고 있다.<br>
[[창세기]]로부터 [[요한계시록]]에 이르기까지 성경 전체에 하나님의 양성적 요소가 나타난다. 창세기 1장에서 하나님은 인류를 창조할 때 "우리의 형상을 따라 우리의 모양대로 우리가 사람을 만들고" 하며 "[[하나님의 형상]]대로 사람을 창조하시되 남자와 여자를 창조"한다. 이를 통해 남성 형상의 하나님(아버지)뿐 아니라 여성 형상의 하나님(어머니)도 있음을 알 수 있다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/창세기#1장 |title=창세기 1:26-27 |quote=하나님이 가라사대 우리의 형상을 따라 우리의 모양대로 우리가 사람을 만들고 ... 하나님이 자기 형상 곧 하나님의 형상대로 사람을 창조하시되 남자와 여자를 창조하시고}}</ref><br>
이뿐 아니라 "태초에 하나님이 천지를 창조하시니라"로 시작하는 성경 첫 구절부터 '하나님'은 히브리 원어 성경에 2500회가량 '[[엘로힘]]'이라는 복수 형태로 기록되고 있다. 천지를 창조한 신은 한 분 하나님이 아니라 '하나님들'이라는 것이다. 성경의 마지막 페이지에는 인류에게 "오라, 생명수를 받으라"고 말씀하시는 [[성령과 신부]](新婦)가 등장한다.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/요한계시록#22장 |title=요한계시록 22:17 |quote=성령과 신부가 말씀하시기를 오라 하시는도다 듣는 자도 오라 할 것이요 목마른 자도 올 것이요 또 원하는 자는 값없이 생명수를 받으라 하시더라}}</ref> [[생명수]]를 줄 수 있는 존재는 하나님뿐이므로 여기서 성령은 아버지 하나님, 그와 함께 생명수를 주는 신부는 어머니 하나님을 가리킨다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/요한계시록#21장 |title=요한계시록 21:9-10 |quote=이리 오라 내가 신부 곧 어린 양의 아내를 네게 보이리라 하고 성령으로 나를 데리고 크고 높은 산으로 올라가 하나님께로부터 하늘에서 내려오는 거룩한 성 예루살렘을 보이니}}</ref><ref name="우리어머니" />


===육체로 오시는 하나님===
====Christmas Is the Sun-God’s Birthday====
하나님의 교회는 [[아버지 하나님과 어머니 하나님]]이 영으로 존재할 뿐만 아니라 성령 시대에 사람의 모습으로 임재해 인류를 구원한다고 믿는다. 하나님은 전지전능하여 얼마든지 사람 모습으로 이 땅에 올 수 있으며, 성경 예언을 따라 사람 모습으로 오신 그 하나님을 믿어야 한다는 것이다.<br>
Every year, most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus, calling it [[Christmas]]. However, there is no record in the Bible that December 25 is the birthday of Jesus Christ. According to historical records, December 25 was the Roman winter solstice and the birthday of the sun-god, [https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mithra Mithra].<ref>[https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Birth+of+the+Invincible+Sun Birth of the Invincible Sun.]''The Free Dictionary''</ref> Around the fourth century, as Christianity became secularized, the birthday of the sun-god was introduced into the church and was regarded as the birthday of Jesus. The Church of God does not celebrate Christmas, a holiday stemming from a pagan religion and not found in the Bible.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개" />
[https://terms.naver.com/entry.naver?docId=2379462&cid=50762&categoryId=51369 그리스도교](기독교, 基督敎)는 본질적으로, 육체로 임하여 인류에게 구원을 베푸시는 하나님을 믿는 종교다. 2000년 전 아기로 탄생한 예수 그리스도는 성경에 "태초의 말씀이신 하나님이 육신이 되어 우리 가운데 임하신 분"으로 표현되었다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/요한복음#1장 |title=요한복음 1:1-14 |quote=이 말씀은 곧 하나님이시니라 ... 말씀[하나님]이 육신이 되어 우리 가운데 거하시매 우리가 그 영광을 보니}}</ref> '하나님이 사람이 되어 왔다'는 그리스도교의 교리는 당시에도 주류 종교였던 유대교의 큰 반감을 불러일으켰다. 유대인들은 "사람이 되어 자칭 하나님이라 한다"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/요한복음#10장 |title=요한복음 10:33 |quote=네가 사람이 되어 자칭 하나님이라 함이로라}}</ref> 하여 예수 그리스도를 죽이려 했으며 결국 무고하여 십자가에 못 박았다.<br>
그러나 제자들은 [[예수님의 부활|그리스도의 부활]] [[예수님의 승천|승천]] 이후 '사람이신 그리스도 예수'를 강력히 증거하며 [[육체로 오신 하나님 (성육신)|육체로 오신 하나님]] 신앙을 강조했다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/디모데전서#2장 |title=디모데전서 2:5 |quote=하나님은 한 분이시요 또 하나님과 사람 사이에 중보도 한 분이시니 곧 사람이신 그리스도 예수라}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/빌립보서#2장 |title=빌립보서 2:5-8 |quote=그는 근본 하나님의 본체시나 ... 오히려 자기를 비어 종의 형체를 가져 사람들과 같이 되었고 사람의 모양으로 나타나셨으매}}</ref> 예수 그리스도는 인류의 구원자로서 온 세계에 전파되고 세계인들의 신앙의 대상이 되었다. 또한 성경은 그리스도가 구원에 이르게 하기 위하여 자기를 바라는 자들에게 두 번째 나타나시리라 예언했다.<ref name="히9" /> 그리스도가 '두 번째' 나타난다는 것은 첫 번째와 같이 육체로 임한다는 뜻이다. 성령과 신부가 "오라, 생명수를 받으라"고 말씀하신 것도 2000년 전과 마찬가지로 말씀이 육신이 되어 아버지 하나님과 어머니 하나님이 이 땅에 오심을 의미한다.<ref name=":0" /> 하나님의 교회는 2000년 전 그리스도가 성경 예언에 따라 사람의 모습으로 등장했듯 이 시대에도 성경의 예언대로 생명수를 주시는 성령과 신부가 사람의 모습으로 임재한다고 믿는다.


===천국 가족과 지상 가족===
====Revering the Cross Is Idolatry====
'아버지'와 '어머니'는 가정에서 사용하는 호칭이다. 아버지, 어머니, 자녀로 구성된 이 땅의 가족 제도는 천국에도 아버지 하나님과 어머니 하나님 그리고 하나님의 자녀들이 있음을 보여주는 모형이다.<ref name="마6" /><ref name="우리어머니">{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/갈라디아서#4장 |title=갈라디아서 4:26-28 |quote=오직 위에 있는 예루살렘은 자유자니 곧 우리 어머니라}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/고린도후서#6장 |title=고린도후서 6:17-18 |quote=너희에게 아버지가 되고 너희는 내게 자녀가 되리라 전능하신 주의 말씀이니라 하셨느니라}}</ref> 지상에 사랑의 공동체인 가족이 있다는 것은, 천국에도 영원한 사랑 공동체인 영의 가족이 있음을 알려준다. 가족이 혈연으로 맺어져 있듯, [[천국 가족]]도 유월절을 통해 허락되는 '언약의 피'로 맺어진다.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개" /><br>
Most people think of the [[cross]] as the symbol representing the Christian church, yet in the early Church that Jesus established and that the apostles attended the cross was never seen. Since the cross is an image, making a cross or praying in front of it is a violation of God’s command, “Do not make any image or worship it.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A4-5&version=NIV |title=Exodus 20:4–5 |quote=}}</ref><br>According to various books on Christian history and encyclopedias, the cross was one of the idols used in many ancient pagan religions as a symbol of faith or as a talisman. It was also used as an instrument of execution against Jesus during the time of the Roman Empire. The image of the cross was only introduced and set up in the church as the church became secularized. History records that the cross was set up for the first time in the church in the year 431, and it was erected on the top of the church steeple in 568.<ref>''A Dictionary of Dates Relating to All Ages and Nations'', Haydn, J. and Vincent, B., London. E. Moxon and Co., 1863, p.198, “Cross,” ''Crosses in churches and chambers were introduced about 431; and set up on steeples about 568.''</ref><br>For this reason, the Church of God rejects the image of the cross, which directly violates the will of God. The Church of God respects and keeps the new covenant Passover promised through the precious blood of Christ, who was sacrificed on the cross.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개" />
하나님을 아버지, 어머니라 믿는 신앙은 하나님의 교회 신자들의 삶에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 하나님의 교회 성도들은 하나님의 자녀요, 천국 가족이라는 자부심을 갖고 있다. 지상 가족이 천국 가족을 반영하는 만큼, 가정을 소중히 여기고 가족 화목과 행복 증진에도 관심을 쏟는다. 성경의 가르침대로 부모를 공경하고 자녀에게 자애하며 형제 간에 우애하고 부부는 서로 한 몸처럼 아끼고 사랑하면서 가정을 작은 천국으로 가꿔가려 노력한다. 또한 지구촌 가족으로서 온 인류의 행복과 복지에 관심을 갖고 봉사와 구제에 힘쓴다.


===절기와 예배===
==Church of God History==
하나님의 교회는 성경과 예수님의 가르침대로 새 언약의 [[하나님의 절기|절기]]를 지킨다. 주요 절기로 주간 절기인 [[안식일]]이 있으며, 연간 절기로 유월절을 비롯한 3차의 7개 절기가 있다. 각 절기는 모두 신구약 성경에 기반하며, [[죄 사함]]과 영생, 성령의 은사, 부활, 거룩함 등 인류의 구원과 밀접한 하나님의 축복이 약속되어 있다. 하나님의 교회는 성경에 기록된 새 언약의 법도대로 절기를 지킨다. 경건한 [[예배]]로 하나님의 은혜와 사랑에 감사드리며 기도와 찬양으로 영광 돌린다.


====안식일====

오늘날 대다수 교회가 일요일에 예배하지만 하나님의 교회는 안식일인 토요일에 예배를 지킨다. 성경이 일곱째 날 안식일을 하나님께 예배할 성일로 규정하고 있기 때문이다. 안식일은 [[창조주]] 하나님이 [[6일 창조|6일간 천지창조]]를 마치고 안식하신 날로, 거룩하고 복되게 하며 백성들에게 지키라 명한 날이다. <br>
역사적 사실과 달력 등을 확인해 볼 때 오늘날 요일 제도에서 일곱째 날 안식일은 토요일에 해당한다. 예수님은 자신이 안식일의 주인임을 분명히 밝히면서,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/마태복음#12장 |title=마태복음 12:8 |quote=인자는 안식일의 주인이니라 하시니라}}</ref> 양을 잡아 [[구약의 제사|제사]]하던 구약의 규례와 달리 신령과 진정으로 예배하며 선을 행하는 신약의 안식일 규례를 몸소 본보였다. 예수님과 제자들뿐 아니라 십자가 이후 사도 [[바울]]도 안식일을 규례로 지켰다는 사실을 성경에서 확인할 수 있다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/사도행전#17장 |title=사도행전 17:2 |quote=바울이 자기의 규례대로 저희에게로 들어가서 세 안식일에 성경을 가지고 강론하며}}</ref>

The Church of God was restored in 1964 by Ahnsahnghong who is the Second Coming Christ. Christ Ahnsahnghong opened the way to salvation by restoring all the truths of the new covenant that Jesus established 2,000 years ago; He restored the early Church of God.

The “Church of God” means a church established by God, and a church whose owner is God. In the Bible, the early Church that Jesus Christ established, and which the apostles Peter, John, and Paul all attended, was called the “Church of God.”<ref name="고린도전서1장">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+1%3A2&version=NIV |title=1 Corinthians 1:2 |quote=}}</ref> The Bible described it as the “church bought with God’s own blood.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+20%3A28&version=NIV |title=Acts 20:28 |quote=}}</ref><br>The new covenant that Jesus kept and which He taught as an example for us is the complete truth of the early Church and the “[[Gospel of the Kingdom|gospel of the kingdom]].” The saints of the early Church kept all of the precious truths that Jesus taught during His ministry, including the Passover of the new covenant established by the sacrifice of His blood shed on the cross. After the resurrection and ascension of Christ, the apostles and the saints of the early Church of God received the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and boldly preached the gospel; this led the number of people who received Jesus as Savior to exponentially increase. The fact that the gospel was rapidly preached to Gentile nations and cities beyond [[Jerusalem]] and Judea is evident in the record of Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys.

====수건 규례====
It wasn’t until 1,600 years since the truth of the early Church disappeared that the Church of God was rebuilt. According to the [[Timing of Jesus’ Second Coming|parable of the fig tree]], Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, began His gospel ministry in 1948 and restored the truth of the new covenant that had disappeared, including the Passover, the seven feast in three times, and the Sabbath. Furthermore, He re-established the Church of God in 1964. Currently, the Church of God is preaching the gospel in 175 countries as more and more people realize the truth of salvation and come from all over the world.<small>{{참고|History of the Church of God|l1=History of the Church of God|설명=For more information}}</small>

God said that He wants all men to come to the knowledge of the truth and to be saved.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+2%3A3-4&version=NIV |title=1 Timothy 2:3–4 |quote=}}</ref> Following the will of God, the Church of God is pursuing a “complete religious reformation” which is to restore the truth and faith of the early Church, by preaching the teachings of God, centering on the Bible.

====일요일(주일) 예배는 사람의 계명====
===Present State of Missionary Work===
일요일은 기독교의 예배일로 널리 알려져 있으나, 성경에서는 그 근거를 찾을 수 없다. 사도시대까지만 해도 성경대로 안식일 규례가 지켜졌지만, 교회가 세속화되고 로마를 중심으로 한 서방 교회가 [[주일예배 (일요일 예배)|일요일 예배]]를 주장하면서 혼란이 시작됐다.<br>

{{그림|watv_main.jpg|정렬=오른쪽섬네일|너비=320px|타이틀=[https://watv.org Website of the World Mission Society Church of God]}}
대다수 기독교인들은 매년 12월 25일을 [[크리스마스 (성탄절)|크리스마스]]라 하며 예수님의 탄생일로 기념한다. 그러나 성경 어디에도 12월 25일이 그리스도의 탄생일이라는 기록이 없다. 역사 기록에 따르면, 12월 25일은 로마의 동지제로서 태양신 [https://terms.naver.com/entry.naver?docId=629273&cid=50766&categoryId=50794 미트라]의 탄생일이었다.<ref>송낙원, 《교회사》, 이건사, 1981, 101쪽</ref> 약 4세기경 기독교가 세속화되면서 태양신 탄생일이 교회에 유입되어 예수님 탄생일로 변질된 것이 크리스마스다. 하나님의 교회는 성경에 없는 이방 종교의 축제일인 크리스마스를 지키지 않는다.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개" />


====십자가 우상 배척====
<br>The Church of God preaches the truth through various types of media such as brochures, videos, and the Internet so that people can hear God’s voice anywhere in the world. The Church of God produces and supplies various publications such as the Truth Books written by Christ Ahnsahnghong, sermon books that deliver the teachings of God, collections of essays containing the realization of the church members, collections of children’s stories, and other printed materials necessary for cultivating good faith and character. The news of salvation is being delivered even to the regions with poor communication as publications are translated into more than 60 languages. This includes languages that are spoken by large populations such as English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, and even local languages such as Khasis, Bengali, Croatian, and Gujarati.
대부분의 사람들은 [[십자가]]를 교회의 상징으로 떠올리지만 예수님이 세우시고 사도들이 다녔던 초대교회에는 십자가가 없었다. 십자가도 하나의 형상이므로 십자가를 만들거나 그 앞에서 기도하는 것은 '어떤 형상도 만들지 말고 숭배하지 말라'는 하나님의 계명에 반하는 행위이기 때문이다.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/개역한글판/출애굽기#20장 |title=출애굽기 20:4-5 |quote=너를 위하여 새긴 우상을 만들지 말고 또 위로 하늘에 있는 것이나 아래로 땅에 있는 것이나 땅 아래 물 속에 있는 것의 아무 형상이든지 만들지 말며 그것들에게 절하지 말며 그것들을 섬기지 말라}}</ref><br>  
교회사와 백과사전 등의 자료를 보면 십자가는 고대 여러 이방 종교에서 신앙의 상징이나 부적 등으로 사용하던 우상 중 하나였다. 예수님 당시 로마 제국 내에서는 사형틀이기도 했다. 십자가 형상이 교회에 유입되고 세워진 것은 교회가 세속화되면서부터다. 십자가가 교회 안에 세워진 것은 431년경으로 전해지고 있으며 교회 탑 꼭대기에 세운 것은 568년경부터라고 알려졌다.<ref>Joseph H. Willsey, "cross," Charlton T. Lewis ed., <i>Harper's Book of Facts</i>, Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1895, p. 212</ref><br>
이와 같은 이유로 하나님의 교회는 하나님의 뜻에 반하는 십자가 형상은 배격하고, 십자가에서 희생하신 그리스도의 보혈로 약속된 새 언약 유월절을 중시하여 지킨다.<ref name="하나님의교회 진리소개" />

예수님이 본보이고 가르치신 새 언약은 초대교회의 완전한 진리이자 '[[천국 복음]]'이다. 초대교회 성도들은 예수님이 십자가 희생의 피로 세운 새 언약 유월절을 비롯해, 공생애 기간 가르친 모든 진리를 소중히 지켰다. 그리스도의 부활 승천 후, 오순절 성령을 받은 사도들과 초대 하나님의 교회 성도들이 담대히 복음을 전하면서 예수님을 구원자로 영접하는 사람이 폭발적으로 증가했다. 복음이 [[예루살렘]]과 유대를 넘어 이방 나라와 도시로 빠르게 전해진 사실이 사도 바울의 전도 여행 기록에 잘 나타난다.

The members of the Church of God all over the world treat each other with love, humility, and consideration, even though they are of different nationalities, races, cultures, and languages; it is because they are all members of the same ''heavenly family''.

The members regard the practice of love, starting from their home, as the basis of their life of faith. The guideline is to realize the kingdom of heaven through good deeds and warm words at home, which is the root of our society.

The church believes in God the Father and God the Mother according to the Bible and follows Their teachings. The church follows the original teachings of the early Church of God that Jesus Christ and the apostles such as Peter, John, and Paul attended 2,000 years ago.

The Church of God carries out missionary work and volunteer activities with the goal of preaching the truth of salvation and happiness to all people around the world with the love of God the Father and God the Mother. This is accomplished by restoring the faith of the early Church and the truth of the New Covenant established by Jesus. As God’s children, church members do their utmost to make positive contributions to their families, neighbors, communities, and nations while striving to cultivate their character to participate in the divine nature of Christ. In recognition of their efforts and contributions, the Church of God has received nearly 4,200 awards from various governments and organizations, including the Presidential Group Citation from Korea,[२] the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service from the U.K.,[३] and the President’s Volunteer Service Award from the U.S.[२], and the Legislative Merit Medal from Brazil.[४]

Diverse videos ranging from an introduction to the church, sermons, news of global church events, and the foundational teachings of the church are translated into nearly 70 languages and distributed to the Churches of God around the world. Access to information about the Church is open anywhere and anytime on its official website and YouTube channels.

The Elohim Training Institute in Yeongdong-gun, North Chungcheong Province, has various educational facilities on site which are embraced by the beautiful natural scenery of Korea as its backdrop.

The Dongbaek Training Institute, which is adjacent to the Headquarters, is useful for small-scale educational gatherings for the members.

The educational topics that are studied range from pastoral theology, pastoral ethics, sermon development, biblical history, introduction to the composition of the Bible, comparative religious studies, and proper church administration.[९] After completing four years of this educational program, which includes practical training such as preaching and volunteer services, the pastoral staff fly to major cities and even to remote regions throughout the world to carry out ministry in obedience to God’s will.

History Museum

The Church of God History Museum, which opened in 2006, demonstrates a three-dimensional representation of biblical history. It begins with the inception of mankind, the history and the future recorded in the Bible, the principle of salvation, and the development of the Church of God at a glance, on the basis of the Bible. The audience can see, hear, and experience the stories and records of the 66 books of the Bible through miniatures, videos, and real historical objects. The History Museum consists of eight halls: the Hall of Heaven, the Hall of the Old Testament, the Hall of the New Testament, the Hall of the Dark Ages, the Hall of Heavenly Father, the Hall of Heavenly Mother, the Hall of the Church of God, and the Hall of Future.[१०]

Faith and Truth

God the Father

The Church of God firmly believes in the Trinity, and regards knowing the name of God as a matter directly related to one's salvation. The Trinity means that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the same in essence even though God the Father plays three different roles in each age. The Church of God believes that God the Father Jehovah from the times of the Old Testament, came as God the Son Jesus in the New Testament times. Furthermore, it believes that Jesus Christ who has come a second time in this age according to the prophecies of the Bible, that is, the Holy Spirit is Christ Ahnsahnghong.

It is prophesied in the Bible that Christ is to sit on the throne of King David. King David sat on the throne when he was 30 years old and reigned for 40 years. Jesus was baptized at 30 years of age according to the prophecy, but He died on the cross after preaching for only three years. Therefore, when Jesus comes a second time, he is to preach the gospel for the remaining thirty-seven years after his baptism at the age 30 and then pass away.[११] It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who has fulfilled all these prophecies. He was born in Korea—the country at the ends of the earth in the east, according to the prophecy of the Bible, and began His gospel ministry in 1948 and returned to heaven in 1985.

The most important reason the Church of God believes in Ahnsahnghong as Jesus who has come a second time is that He gives eternal life to humans who are all mortal beings. The evening before the Crucifixion, Jesus Christ celebrated the Passover; He gave bread and wine to His disciples as the symbols of His flesh and blood and promised them the forgiveness of sins and eternal life, saying, “This cup is the new covenant.” The Passover of the new covenant had been observed until the Apostolic Age, but it disappeared as the church became secularized. For about 1,600 years throughout the Dark Ages and the Reformation, no one had been able to restore the Passover. However, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the new covenant and led mankind to eternal life and salvation. Therefore, He is God the Father—Christ Himself, who has come a second time.[१२]

God the Mother

The Church of God believes in God the Mother as well as God the Father. Many people believe there is only one God—God the Father. However, the Bible testifies about both God the Father and God the Mother as it states that there is “Our Father in heaven,”[१३]and also that “The Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”[१४]
God appears as a male God and a female God throughout the Bible from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation. In Genesis 1, God created man, saying, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,” and male and female were created in the image of God. This proves that the female image of God [Mother] exists as well as the male image of God [Father].[१५]
Moreover, the plural noun Elohim [Gods] is used in the Hebrew Bible more than 2,500 times, starting from the first verse of the Bible that says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The Creator of the heavens and the earth is not a singular God, but Elohim [Gods]. On the last page of the Bible, the Spirit and the Bride appear to proclaim to mankind, “Come and receive the water of life!”[१६] It is only God who can give the water of life. So in this verse, the Spirit is God the Father, and the Bride who is giving the water of life with him is God the Mother.[१७][१४]

God Comes in the Flesh

The Church of God believes that God the Father and God the Mother have come in human form to save all mankind in the Age of the Holy Spirit, not only existing as spirits. The church believes that God is omniscient and omnipotent, so He can come to this earth as a human at anytime He desires, and that we must believe in God who has come in human form according to the prophecies of the Bible.

Christianity is a religion that believes in God who has come in the flesh to give mankind salvation. The Bible testifies about Jesus Christ who was born as a baby 2,000 years ago: “God, the Word in the beginning, became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”[१८] The Christian doctrine that God came as a human being provoked great animosity among the followers of Judaism, which was a mainstream religion in those days. The Jews attempted to kill Jesus Christ, accusing Him, saying, “You, a mere man, claim to be God.”[१९] Eventually, they crucified Him under the false charges that were hurled against him.
However, after the resurrection and ascension of Christ, His disciples strongly testified about the “man Christ Jesus,” emphasizing their faith in God who came in the flesh.[२०][२१] Since that time, Jesus Christ has been proclaimed throughout the world as the Savior of mankind, and is worshiped by people all around the world. The Bible prophesies that Christ will appear a second time to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.[११] The prophecy of His second coming indicates His appearing in the flesh in the same manner as His first coming. God the Father and God the Mother are to come to this earth in the flesh as the Spirit and the Bride, saying, “Come and take the water of life,” just as God, who is the Word, did when He came as a man 2,000 years ago.[१६] The Church of God believes that the Spirit and the Bride are to come in the flesh to give the water of life in this age as prophesied in the Bible, just as Christ came as a man 2,000 years ago as prophesied in the Bible.

Heavenly Family and Earthly Family

The titles of "father" and "mother" are used in a family. The earthly family consisting of a father, a mother, and children is actually a copy and shadow of the heavenly family. This means that there are God the Father, God the Mother, and God’s children in heaven as well.[१३][१४][२२] A family is a community of love. This shows that there is also a spiritual family in heaven, which is a community of eternal love. Just as the members of an earthly family are related by blood, so are the members of the heavenly family. The members of the heavenly family are related by the blood of the covenant that God gives through the Passover.[१२]
The Church of God members believe in both God the Father and God the Mother, and this belief has a profound effect on their lives. They take pride in being God’s children and the members of the heavenly family. Since the earthly family reflects the heavenly family, they love their family members and pay attention to improving harmony and happiness within the family. According to the teachings of the Bible, they try to make their home as if it were a part of heaven by honoring their parents, showing affection to their children, maintaining a strong bond among their siblings, and loving their spouses as themselves. They also care about well-being and happiness of all people and willingly volunteer to help people who are in various difficulties.

Feasts and Worship

The Church of God keeps the feasts of the new covenant according to the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. The most important celebrations observed by the Church include the weekly Sabbath and seven annual feasts in three times, including the Passover. Each of these feasts is based on the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments. They all contain the blessings of God, which are closely related to the salvation of mankind, such as the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the hope of the resurrection, and holiness. The Church of God keeps the feasts according to the laws of the new covenant just as they are recorded in the Bible. The members give thanks to God for His grace and love through godly worship, and by giving glory to God with prayer and praise.

Sabbath

Most churches today worship on Sunday, but the Church of God worships on Saturday, the Sabbath day. It is because the Bible defines the seventh-day Sabbath as the holy day of worship to God. The Sabbath was the day when God the Creator rested from all His work that He had done in creation for six days.

Historical facts and calendars show that the Sabbath is Saturday according to the modern 7-day week system. Jesus clearly stated that He is the Lord of the Sabbath,[२३] and set an example of keeping the Sabbath of the New Testament by worshiping God in spirit and in truth and doing what is good. This was contrary to the regulation of the Old Testament where lambs had to be sacrificed. We can confirm through the Bible that not only Jesus and His disciples but also Apostle Paul kept the Sabbath as a custom even after the Crucifixion.[२४]

Passover

Members of the Church of God in the New York area attend the Passover Sacred Assembly held at Lincoln Center in the U.S.

The Church of God is the only church that observes the Passover just as Jesus Christ and His disciples did 2,000 years ago. The word Passover means that disasters pass over.[२५] The Passover was the day when the Israelites were saved from the horrible plague, which brought destruction upon the firstborn, by putting the blood of the Passover lamb on the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses just as God had commanded them. Furthermore, 3,500 years ago, they were liberated from their slavery in Egypt.[२६][२७]
In the New Testament times, Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life by giving the Passover bread and wine which symbolized His flesh and blood, and established this day as the new covenant the day before His crucifixion.[२८] Those who keep the Passover according to the command of Jesus Christ become God’s children who have inherited God’s flesh and blood, and receive the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and the blessings of heaven as well.[२९][३०]

  • Feast of Tabernacles: From the 15th day to the 22nd day of the seventh month by the sacred calendar/ Commemoration of the work of building the tabernacle and the preaching of Christ/ The feast in which the descent of the Holy Spirit is prophesied

Women’s Veil

As the regulation of worship, the Bible teaches that men should not wear anything on their heads, but that women must wear veils during prayer or worship.[३१] This regulation about the Women’s Veil is a teaching of Christ. This regulation has been established to keep order in the church, and it reflects God’s providence of Creation. In the Church of God, men do not wear anything on their heads. However, women wear veils at the time of prayer or worship, according to the practice of the Church of God as it is recorded in the Bible.[१२]

Baptism

Baptism is a ceremony whereby one is born again as the body of sin is buried in water.[३२][३३] The Bible testifies that baptism is the sign of a covenant with God—the sign of salvation. Baptism is the first step toward a life of faith and those who are baptized are granted citizenship in heaven as God’s people.[३४] The Church of God teaches that true baptism is to be done in the names of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is done in accordance with Christ’s teaching to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”[५] and that one must believe in God the Father and God the Mother before they are baptized.

Sunday Worship Is a Commandment Made by Men

Sunday is widely accepted as the Christian day of worship, however, the basis for it cannot be found in the Bible. Throughout the Apostolic Age, the Sabbath was kept according to the Bible, but a conflict began to arise as the church became secularized and the Western churches, which were centered in Rome, insisted on observing Sunday worship.

In AD 313, Emperor Constantine officially recognized Christianity, and in AD 321 he decreed that Sunday should be a day of rest and worship, calling the first day of the week the “venerable day of the sun.” It was this that caused the Sabbath worship to completely disappear and be replaced with the observance of Sunday worship. At that time, Constantine’s order was that all judges, citizens, and craftsmen should rest on the venerable day of the Sun. In other words, Sunday was not a day to worship Christ, but a day to worship the sun-god, which most Romans believed in at that time. From then on, Sunday worship established itself as the tradition of the church, and is the reason why most churches worship on Sunday even until today. However, the Church of God adheres to the teachings of the Bible and thus worships on Saturday, the seventh-day Sabbath, regardless of how long other churches have held onto man-made tradition of Sunday worship.

Christmas Is the Sun-God’s Birthday

Every year, most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus, calling it Christmas. However, there is no record in the Bible that December 25 is the birthday of Jesus Christ. According to historical records, December 25 was the Roman winter solstice and the birthday of the sun-god, Mithra.[३५] Around the fourth century, as Christianity became secularized, the birthday of the sun-god was introduced into the church and was regarded as the birthday of Jesus. The Church of God does not celebrate Christmas, a holiday stemming from a pagan religion and not found in the Bible.[१२]

Revering the Cross Is Idolatry

Most people think of the cross as the symbol representing the Christian church, yet in the early Church that Jesus established and that the apostles attended the cross was never seen. Since the cross is an image, making a cross or praying in front of it is a violation of God’s command, “Do not make any image or worship it.”[३६]
According to various books on Christian history and encyclopedias, the cross was one of the idols used in many ancient pagan religions as a symbol of faith or as a talisman. It was also used as an instrument of execution against Jesus during the time of the Roman Empire. The image of the cross was only introduced and set up in the church as the church became secularized. History records that the cross was set up for the first time in the church in the year 431, and it was erected on the top of the church steeple in 568.[३७]
For this reason, the Church of God rejects the image of the cross, which directly violates the will of God. The Church of God respects and keeps the new covenant Passover promised through the precious blood of Christ, who was sacrificed on the cross.[१२]

The Church of God was restored in 1964 by Ahnsahnghong who is the Second Coming Christ. Christ Ahnsahnghong opened the way to salvation by restoring all the truths of the new covenant that Jesus established 2,000 years ago; He restored the early Church of God. The Church of God, which was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong in Korea, has grown to have over 7,500 churches in 175 countries within 60 years.[१]

The Meaning of the Name of the Church and the History of the Early Church

The “Church of God” means a church established by God, and a church whose owner is God. In the Bible, the early Church that Jesus Christ established, and which the apostles Peter, John, and Paul all attended, was called the “Church of God.”[३८] The Bible described it as the “church bought with God’s own blood.”[३९]
The new covenant that Jesus kept and which He taught as an example for us is the complete truth of the early Church and the “gospel of the kingdom.” The saints of the early Church kept all of the precious truths that Jesus taught during His ministry, including the Passover of the new covenant established by the sacrifice of His blood shed on the cross. After the resurrection and ascension of Christ, the apostles and the saints of the early Church of God received the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and boldly preached the gospel; this led the number of people who received Jesus as Savior to exponentially increase. The fact that the gospel was rapidly preached to Gentile nations and cities beyond Jerusalem and Judea is evident in the record of Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys. Churches were established in Ephesus,[४०] Corinth,[३८] Antioch[४१] etc., and the gospel was preached in many European regions, including Thessalonica,[४२] Athens,[४३] Malta,[४४] Perga,[४५] Cyprus,[४६] and Rome.[४७]

Restoration of the Truth and Succession of the Early Church of God

As the church became secularized, the truth of salvation, including the new covenant Passover, gradually changed and polytheism flowed into the church.[४८] Eventually, the Church of God disappeared into history. In the 16th century, reformers such as Martin Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli held up the banner of the Reformation, criticizing the nature of the church and trying to restore correct faith, but they were unable to find the truth of the Bible taught by Jesus.

It wasn’t until 1,600 years since the truth of the early Church disappeared that the Church of God was rebuilt. According to the parable of the fig tree, Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, began His gospel ministry in 1948 and restored the truth of the new covenant that had disappeared, including the Passover, the seven feast in three times, and the Sabbath. Furthermore, He re-established the Church of God in 1964. Currently, the Church of God is preaching the gospel in 175 countries as more and more people realize the truth of salvation and come from all over the world.

Church of God’s Missionary Work

God said that He wants all men to come to the knowledge of the truth and to be saved.[४९] Following the will of God, the Church of God is pursuing a “complete religious reformation” which is to restore the truth and faith of the early Church, by preaching the teachings of God, centering on the Bible. Consequently, the Church of God preaches the truth of the new covenant and the love of God so that all people around the world can come to the Spirit and the Bride who said, “Come and receive the water of life,”[१६] and be able to receive eternal salvation and happiness.

Present State of Missionary Work

The Church of God began its overseas mission work in 1997 in accordance with God’s teaching to “go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”[५०] The missionary work in North America, which began in Los Angeles, California, has spread so rapidly that the church is now established in all 50 states as well as several major cities in Canada. Through the missionary work in Central and South America, which began in Peru in 1998, the gospel has been preached even to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and the valleys of the Andes in Peru as well. Today, there are over 7,500 churches in 175 countries around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. More than 80% of the members of each Church of God in every country are local people, and a significant number of them serve as local pastors.[५१]

The Church of God preaches the truth through various types of media such as brochures, videos, and the Internet so that people can hear God’s voice anywhere in the world. The Church of God produces and supplies various publications such as the Truth Books written by Christ Ahnsahnghong, sermon books that deliver the teachings of God, collections of essays containing the realization of the church members, collections of children’s stories, and other printed materials necessary for cultivating good faith and character. The news of salvation is being delivered even to the regions with poor communication as publications are translated into more than 60 languages. This includes languages that are spoken by large populations such as English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, and even local languages such as Khasis, Bengali, Croatian, and Gujarati.

Various videos such as the Church of God introduction video, news from local churches around the world, video sermons, and animations, are also translated into each language, touching and enlightening the hearts of people around the world. They are accessible to everyone through the Church of God official website, Media Cast, YouTube channel, etc. The church also provides opportunities to share love online such as the “Flower Letter Campaign” and “Happy Webinars for Workers”[५२] to promote harmony among family members, friends, and neighbors who found it difficult to meet during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 62nd Overseas Visiting Group

Korea is where God the Father and God the Mother came from, and where the gospel of the new covenant was restored according to the prophecies of the Bible. For this reason, it is regarded as a holy land by the Church of God members around the world. As the number of overseas members who wanted to visit Korea to learn the love of Mother and to study the truth of the Bible increased, the Church of God started the Overseas Visiting Group program in 2001. Until May 2024, overseas members visited Korea a total of 79 times.
The church provides various programs for experiencing Korean culture and Bible study. Overseas members stay in Korea for about one or two weeks to deepen their faith and learn about the warmheartedness of a mother contained in Korean culture. After returning to their home countries, their faith grows even more and they also contribute to civilian diplomacy linking Korea and the world.[५१][५३]

The members of the Church of God all over the world treat each other with love, humility, and consideration, even though they are of different nationalities, races, cultures, and languages; it is because they are all members of the same heavenly family. They respect each other as brothers and sisters as well as children of God the Father and God the Mother, talking politely to one another regardless of age, position, or title. They engrave on their hearts the Teachings of Mother, which contains teachings about sharing love, yielding to others, complimenting each other, and serving others. Members even greet and share blessings with one another by saying, “God bless you.”[५४]

All of these tools are used to help build the faith of the members in their homes as well as encouraging them to lead a healthy life.

Centering on God's Word

The 16th Foreign Language Bible Preaching Contest
The 16th Foreign Language Bible Preaching Contest

The members of the Church of God, who believe in God the Father and God the Mother, as testified in the Bible, are constantly and meticulously learning the truth and reflecting on God’s teachings, believing the words of the Bible as the “water of life.” The Church of God conducts numerous educations tailored to various age groups and positions so that the members can understand the truths in the Bible correctly and cultivate their faith.

This is seen through the IUBA, IWBA, and IMBA global educational programs for young adults. Young adults learn not only the truth of the Bible but also about matters concerning moral character, leadership, and foreign languages, which are essential for them to become productive members of society. The church helps children and adolescents develop good characters and basic comprehension of the Bible through textbooks such as I Want to Be a Beautiful Angel (textbook for kindergarteners), I like God (textbook for elementary school students), and Soul (monthly magazine for adolescents). During the time period of school vacation, middle and high school student summer/winter camps as well as an elementary school summer/winter camps are held to provide diverse experiences such as Bible education, experiential learning programs, field trips, and volunteer services.[५९][६०] The church also helps young adult members to prepare a firm foundation for a positive mindset and the formation of proper values through character education led by experts in the field.[६१]
Education is provided regularly to teachers who are guiding children, adolescents, and young adults, so that future generations can grow with faith and love. In addition to all this, education for title and position holders, who lead members with upright character and humility, are conducted to strengthen their abilities. Education is provided at the Okcheon Go&Come Training Institute, the Dongbaek Training Institute, etc., and was held online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Church of God Headquarters provides educational materials and sermons through various media sources such as books, audio recordings, and videos, for the members to be able to access the word of God anytime, anywhere. Events are also held to help the members grow in faith and strengthen their personal abilities and become united. Through the Foreign Language Bible Preaching Contest,[६२] Cultural Content Awards,[६३][६४] New Song Festival,[६५][६६] along with a variety of other events, members share brotherly love with each other.

Community Service

Following the teaching of the Bible to “love your neighbors,” and the teaching of God the Mother, which teaches us that it is more blessed to give love, the members of the Church of God transcend borders, ethnicities, and religions to practice the love that they’ve learned from Christ by carrying out volunteer services around the world. Volunteer services are carried out in diverse fields such as the environment, social well-being, culture, physical education, and medical care. This is accomplished by the active participation of all age groups: housewives, field-related experts, university students, and middle and high school students as well. In particular, young adults are greatly encouraged to engage in such activities by becoming members of the Church of God University Student Volunteer Group [ASEZ] and as members of the Church of God Young Adult Worker Volunteer Group [ASEZ WAO].

In Korea, members have taken the lead in providing recovery and relief efforts and even preparing meals, whenever there have been nationwide disasters, including the Sampoong Department Store collapse, the Daegu subway fire, the Pohang earthquake, and the Sewol ferry disaster.[६७][६८][६९][७०] Members around the world have also made great efforts carrying out numerous recovery and relief projects for victims of various disasters such as the tsunami in Indonesia, the volcanic eruption in Ecuador, the hurricanes in the U.S., the typhoons in the Philippines, the earthquake in Nepal, torrential rains in Japan, the cold wave in Peru, etc.[७१]
As of April 2024, numerous community services such as disaster relief, blood donation, help for the underprivileged, medical support, and educational support have been carried out in 102 countries about 28,000 times. More than 1,300 blood drives have been held to help people in danger due to blood shortages,[७२] and nearly 111,000 people have donated blood among 263,000 participants. This is equivalent to saving more than 333,000 people since one person’s blood donation can save three other people. Through such activities, the Church of God participates in the implementation of the internationally accepted Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs].[७३] During the COVID-19 pandemic, they helped with preventive measures and relief efforts, providing face masks, hand sanitizers, medical supplies, groceries, and daily necessities to different governmental departments, organizations, and to many vulnerable groups of people.[७४]

As the Church of God has been expanding the scope of its activities to help our neighbors around the global village and preserve the living sites, General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol was invited to the 71st CERF High-Level Conference held at the UN Headquarters in New York on December 13, 2016. With about 200 people from across different UN organizations, multiple member states, and many other non-governmental organizations attending the meeting, Pastor Kim Joo-cheol expressed his support for the activities of the Central Emergency Relief Fund and UN-sponsored organizations to help countries in crisis and also promised continuous cooperation and aid. Lisa Doughten, Chief of CERF Secretariat, said, “The Church of God is the first church to be invited to this conference.”[७५] The reason the UN invited the Church of God was due to the fact that the church’s outstanding altruistic efforts to take the lead in relief efforts whenever there were disasters or hardships around the world were truly exemplary. Such can be seen through their relief efforts with the massive earthquake that occurred in Nepal and the various hurricanes across the United States.[७६]
Back in 2010, the Church of God visited the United Nations to help Haiti recover from the impact of the massive earthquake that shocked the country by donating $100,000 USD to CERF. During General Pastor’s visit, the UN suggested to form a partnership with the Church of God.[७७]

Central governments, local governments, and universities in many countries agree with the Church of God’s vision and practices for the development and harmony of the global village, and its active participation in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs], which include environmental protection, educational support, and well-being promotion. The Ministry of Education of Nepal, the City of Bangalore and the City of Raipur in India, the City of Santo Andre in Brazil, the City of Tshwane in Rep. of South Africa, and the National Blood Institute of Mongolia have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] with the Church of God, ASEZ, and ASEZ WAO.[७८] ASEZ is carrying out necessary volunteer activities in local communities by signing MOUs with 154 organizations, including the Ministry of Education of Nepal and the Ministry of Environment of the Dominican Republic (as of October 2023).[७९]
UN Millennium Project President Jerome Glenn, a futurist, attended an ASEZ Conference whereby he encouraged young adults to work for and promote a sustainable future.[८०] Duberli Rodriguez Tineo, who served as the Supreme Judge of the Judicial Power in Peru, also participated in the conference on combating climate change and showed his support along with a lecture. More than 60,000 people from all walks of life, including Ban Ki-moon, the former UN Secretary-General, and Robert Huber, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry, have signed up to support and cheer on the activities of the young adults in the Church of God.[७९]

It was the result of highly praised efforts from the members of the Church of God in the areas of marine disaster relief and marine environment protection activities across many years.
