What has earned me the faith? |
| Saturday, 09 January 2010 22:32 |
 Many Christians, living a life of holiness, all I have asked has been given. Others, not being less than the first, have achieved their purpose based on many efforts. Some, as faithful as the previous ones, die without achieving their objectives. And then what has earned the faith? Take, for example, the area of health. Christ healed, healthy and healed. That ... no doubt sincere believer, however, through all time have seen people who have died in the hope of being physically healthy without having succeeded. Remember that the Lord did many of these things: healing the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, etc.. as signals to make it clear that he was the Son of God coming with all the authority given by the Father, but the essence was free from sin, and give us salvation and eternal life. Does this mean that somehow not pray for our health because we will not be heard anyway? The answer is a resounding no. Many are the testimonies of those who have suffered illness, even in its terminal stage, and have been healed by their prayers or brothers of the congregation. Now I think it's unfair that a preacher, after praying for a sick person, offer reassurance that will heal and when this happens, be justified by the person for whom he prayed was not enough faith. This militates against the faith of the brother. We know that these things need not happen when we want, but the will and the Lord's time, which are unpredictable. But nevertheless, what has earned me the faith? "you may be wondering doubtful even a brother." Revelation 21:1-4 - I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no death will be no more mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away. Some believers are braked to study the book of Revelation and other eschatological books, on topics concerning the End Times. Are afraid and refuse to think of a final day where things will change in the way of God. Listen to things pertaining to fear an abduction, or a survival after the period of tribulation, or what will happen after death, in the case that physically perish before these events. The truth is that this book, like others, is full of beautiful promises. Really big changes, because traces of sin has disappeared without trace, and we need to be prepared. Hebrews 12:26-27 - The voice which shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I will shake not only earth but also heaven. 27 And this sentence: Yet once more indicates the removal of things shaken, as things done, so that they are the immovable. The whole universe is full of moving things that are not eternal and replaced by a new heaven and new earth, leaving only the immovable stable comprising the kingdom of God. Now back to the verse in Revelation 21:4, he explains clearly why it was worth the faith: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no death will be no more mourning or crying or pain for the former things have passed away. " He says God will wipe away every tear from those who suffered, those who suffered and died without healing of those who were victims and could not see justice in the drowning of poverty without being able to play the wealth ... all who believed until the end, have the privilege of the Lord Himself will wipe away their tears. Perhaps for this reason alone, is not worth the faith? But even more, says there will be no death or mourning or crying or pain ... All of that has passed and all the things that caused us suffering disappear and never be remembered. The question now would be: should we deprive ourselves of good things honorably at the time, because of better ones will come anyway? Not so. The blessings that God offers us, not be missed. Only we can not forget that we have promises of better things in life that things are not fair or perfect enough, but in which everything is subject to the divine and perfect harmony of God. In conclusion, we can say that the faith that has inspired us to walk on rough roads, thorny and uphill, to follow our Lord Jesus Christ, no worse than those he himself walked. However, he won and has been worth it. We can not allow adversity to make us lose hope, without which life would be meaningless. In difficult situations that I like to remember the lines: If the lid fate brought you down; Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith and this not from yourselves, it is God's gift. Faith is not material, nor based on things that have to do physically, but is usually within and exercise. Do not lose faith and trust in a better life for all who believe.
