                                The wicked things to God


               Jesus. I mean, as Gentiles... In the book of Daniel, after Je-

               rusalem was captured by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
               foreign country, Daniel and his three friends were selected
               to teach the literature of a foreign country, the Babylonians,
               so they were called to the palace of the king of Babylon. The
               royal food from the king’s table was given before them, but

               because of the food that was placed before idols and that
               was set with the meat of unclean animal, so Daniel and
               his friends resolved not to defile themselves with the royal
               food and wine, even though they knew that they would be
               beheaded because rejecting the things from the king would

               be regarded as rejecting king. Like this, we ourselves as
               Gentiles who came to God and became to believe in Jesus
               should determine firmly to believe according to the will of
               God. Without having such a will of yours, you cannot have

               faith rightly. It is you cannot act in faith rightly. And there
               is no faith without resolution. That is not to believe by your
               conscience. Once you have a determination to live according
               to the will of God may require for you to cut off relationships
               with people, and may have difficulties in your conscience,

               take criticism, and sometimes damage your business. Howev-
               er, as God had certainly rewarded when Daniel and his three
               friends resolved not to defile themselves, all the rewards are
               done by God, if you really believe.

                    Even though human beings don’t know by their
