КАК ВСЕКИ ЧОВЕК ПО СВЕТА ЩЕ НАПРАВИ СВОЯ ИЗБОР „ЗА“ ИЛИ „ПРОТИВ“ ИСУС

КАК ВСЕКИ ЧОВЕК ПО СВЕТА ЩЕ НАПРАВИ СВОЯ ИЗБОР „ЗА“ ИЛИ „ПРОТИВ“ ИСУС

Чудили ли сте се някога как всеки човек по света ще има шанс да направи своя избор „за“ или „против“ Христос преди Неговото завръщане? Това често предизвиква безпокойство у някои хора, когато размишляват за всичко, което трябва да се случи преди Второто пришествие. В края на краищата, при положение че всеки ден се раждат нови хора, и предвид факта, че има хора, които живеят в отдалечени райони или на места, на които правителствата не позволяват на евангелските работници да отидат, как е възможно всеки човек да получи шанс да избере Исус, преди Той да се върне? И ако нямат възможност да изберат, това означава ли, че Исус никога няма да дойде?

Всеки ще направи ясен избор и събитията в света са тези, които довеждат хората до критичната точка на вземане на решение. С постоянната глобализация на света, с нарастването на натиска и принудата от страна на правителствата, с премахването на свободите, с увеличаването на лъжите, със засилването на страха и егоизма и с настъпването на криза след криза, правителствата ще допълват своите закони и ще увеличават изискванията, манипулацията и контрола си.

Когато това се случи, всеки човек ще бъде изправен пред избора дали да живее по Божия закон, или по закона на греха и смъртта.

Божият закон е законът на любовта, истината и свободата. Той се проявява в това да обичаме Бога и другите повече от себе си, да защитаваме потиснатите и да уважаваме индивидуалността на другите.

Законът на греха и смъртта е мотивът за оцеляване на по-силния, продиктуван от страха и нуждата му да защити себе си, особено за сметка на другите. Това означава да си готов на всичко, за да оцелееш, дори ако това означава да убиеш други хора, за да спасиш себе си.

Когато навлизаме в последните дни преди Второто пришествие на Христос, Бог позволява събитията да се развият по такъв начин, че всеки човек да бъде изправен пред избора на Исус – но не по евангелизаторски начин, не под формата на призив към олтара или изповядване на вяра. Не, изборът, който всеки човек прави „за“ или „против“ Исус, става явен от принципите и методите, които избира и практикува по отношение на  функционирането на реалността.

Всеки от нас решава чий закон ще прилага в живота си в начина, по който се отнася към другите.

  • Дали ще:
    обичам другите повече от себе си и следователно ще представям истината на другите с любов, като им оставям свободата да решават сами; дали ще жертвам себе си, ресурсите си и сигурността си, за да помагам, защитавам и приютявам другите?
  • Или ще:
    обичам първо себе си, като укривам истината поради страх от отхвърляне, отмъщение, арест, уволнение от работа, цензура; дали ще разпространявам лъжи, ще принуждавам другите, ще подкрепям правителства, които нарушават личните свободи, ще използвам сила; ще докладвам на правителството за други, които не се подчиняват; ще отказвам да приютявам другите, да ги защитавам и да им помагам?

По избора ни как се отнасяме към другите, се разбира чий закон приемаме – Божия или този на Сатана; така всеки човек избира дали да приеме или да отхвърли Исус в последните дни, дори и тези в най-отдалечените места, които никога не са чували името Исус, защото нашият Спасител казва:

“А когато дойде Човешкият Син в славата Си, и всичките [свети] ангели с Него, тогава ще седне на славния Си престол. И ще се съберат пред Него всичките народи; и ще ги отлъчи един от други, както овчарят отлъчва овцете от козите; и ще постави овцете от дясната Си страна, а козите от лявата.” (Матей 25:31-33)

И забележете, че Исус не разделя хората въз основа на раса, националност, култура, вероизповедание или деноминация. Исус разделя хората въз основа на това какъв закон изпълняват в начина, по който се отнасят към другите и съответно към Него:

„Тогава царят ще рече на тия, които са от дясната Му страна: Дойдете вие благословени от Отца Ми, наследете царството, приготвено за вас от създанието на света.  Защото огладнях и Ме нахранихте; ожаднях и Ме напоихте; странник бях и Ме прибрахте; гол бях и Ме облякохте; болен бях и Ме посетихте; в тъмница бях и Ме споходихте.

Тогава праведните в отговор ще Му кажат: Господи, кога Те видяхме гладен, и Те нахранихме; или жаден, и Те напоихме? И кога Те видяхме странник, и Те прибрахме, или гол и Те облякохме? И кога Те видяхме болен или в тъмница и Те споходихме? А Царят в отговор ще им рече: Истина ви казвам: Понеже сте направили това на един от тия най-скромни Мои братя, на Мене сте го направили.

Тогава ще рече и на тия, които са от лявата Му страна: Идете си от Мене, вие проклети, във вечния огън, приготвен за дявола и за неговите ангели. Защото огладнях и не Ме нахранихте; ожаднях и не Ме напоихте; странник бях, и не Ме облякохте; болен и в тъмница бях, и не Ме посетихте.

Тогава и те в отговор ще кажат: Господи, кога Те видяхме гладен, или жаден, или странник, или гол, или болен, или в тъмница и не Ти послужихме? Тогава в отговор ще им рече: Истина ви казвам: Понеже не сте направили това на ни един от тия най-скромните, нито на Мене сте го направили. И тия ще отидат във вечно наказание, а праведните във вечен живот.“ (Матей 25:34-46)

Да, всеки един човек ще избере дали да обича другите или не. Умолявам ви да изберете Исус в начина, по който се отнасяте към другите!

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

K.B., LA, USA

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!
