Church of God Faith and Truth
Christ Ahnsahnghong came from Korea for the salvation of mankind according to the prophecies of the Bible. The Bible is the only book that reveals who Christ is. Just as the Bible prophesied about First Coming Christ 2,000 years ago, it prophesies about Second Coming Christ through many prophecies such as the “Throne of King David” and the “Parable of the Fig Tree." Christ Ahnsahnghong came according to the prophecies of the Bible, re-established the Church of God in the pattern of the early Church, and proclaimed God the Mother, who is the last secret of the Bible.
God the Mother refers to the female image of God. Most people assume that there is only one God the Father. However, the Bible testifies to the existence of two images of God--the male image of God and the female image of God--from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation.
God’s people receive the blessing of eternal life when they keep the feasts of the new covenant in spiritual Zion. There are seven annual feasts—the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Firstfruits (the Day of Resurrection), the Feast of Weeks (the Day of Pentecost), the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, along with the weekly feast, the Sabbath.
The gospel is the good news, and more specifically, it is the new covenant. The saints and apostles of the early Church kept and preached the truth of the new covenant such as the Passover and the Sabbath just as Jesus taught them.
Women’s veil is the regulation that women must wear a veil when they pray or keep worship services as written in 1 Corinthians 11. This regulation shows that men wear nothing on their heads and that women should wear a veil.
Present State of Missionary Work
Now, the members are leading their lives of faith through over 7,800 churches in 175 countries around the world and more than 80% of them are local people. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, members from various continents visited Korea for a total of 75 times. View More

The first among the Ten Commandments is, “You shall have no other gods before me.” This is the first commandment that God gave to His people when He proclaimed the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. In the New Testament times, Jesus Christ said that the first commandment is to love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. This is sometimes called the “the greatest commandment.” However, the New and Old Testaments do not conflict with each other in regard to the first commandment. It is because if we love God with all our heart, we will only serve God and no other gods. There are not many people who fully understand the first commandment. There are even less people who know how to fulfill the first commandment. In the Old Testament, the Israelites, who were proud of their faith in God and love for Him, very frequently worshiped other gods and idols. The first commandment cannot be fulfilled through human thoughts and methods. The way we can worship only God and love Him without worshiping other gods is to keep God’s commandment, the Passover.
