The Thought of Early Judaism, Jesus and Paul: Recovery of Life through Word

It is a miracle that Christianity was born and grew up in circumstances of early Judaism and under the influence of powerful Hellenism. In the midst of expanding Hellenism Christianity kept its identity and continued to grow. It must be an important factor in form and substance of Christianity. The proclamation of Jesus for the Word laid the basis of significant thought for New Testament authors. The understanding for the 'word' is the Christocentric reinterpretation of form consistent with the Old Testament and the literature of early Judaism. The result of this reinterpretation becomes Christianity. The early christianty understood as the gospel, which Jesus proclaimed, and newly understood as divine Power of life, which appears in the gospel. Accomplishment of salvation, which jesus achieves, appear through proclamation for the word, and activities of life is realized to the audience, who listens to the word. In this point be related the origin of life to Jesus, who is the person, who proclaims the word. 'Internal transition', which appears through the proclamation, is possible when man remember God and maintains correctly the meaning of life. This understanding appears also in pauline epistles. Paul describes 'the way of life' in christ throuth the gospel of 'the Son of God' 'Jesus Christ'(cf. Rom. 5:17; 6:4; 8:2; Col 3:3). Paul extends life to the the Holy Spirit throuth the statement for "the Law of Spirit of life in Christ Jesus". Therefore activity of life, which is carried by the Spirit of Jesus, consists of proclamation of the gospel.
