KAŻDY NA ŚWIECIE DOKONA WYBORU

KAŻDY NA ŚWIECIE DOKONA WYBORU

Czy myślałeś kiedyś o tym, że przed powtórnym przyjściem Chrystusa każda osoba na świecie będzie musiała stanąć ‘za’ Nim lub ‘przeciwko’ Niemu? Biorąc pod uwagę sytuację wiodącą do drugiego przyjścia Pana, niektórzy mają co do tego wątpliwości, w rodzaju: Skoro każdego dnia rodzą się nowi ludzie, a wielu z nich w odległych rejonach świata, gdzie nie dotarła jeszcze ewangelia, czy jest to możliwe, że każdy będzie mógł dokonać wyboru zanim On powróci? A jeśli nie, to czy to oznacza, że Jezus nigdy nie przyjdzie?

Każdy będzie musiał dokonać wyboru—być może w jakimś krytycznym momencie, do którego doprowadzą wydarzenia na świecie. W miarę, jak świat się globalizuje a rządy, stosując coraz więcej przymusu, odbierają nam wolność; w miarę jak wzrasta poczucie lęku, mnożą się kłamstwa, panuje egoizm i nastaje kryzys po kryzysie, rządy będą zaostrzać prawa, a wymagania, nacisk i kontrola będą się szybko wzmagały.

W takich okolicznościach każda osoba stanie przed podjęciem decyzji odnośnie prawa, jakiego będzie się trzymała: Bożego prawa miłości albo prawa grzechu i śmierci.

Prawo Boże jest prawem miłości, prawdy i wolności. Przejawia się w tym, że kochamy Boga i ludzi bardziej, niż siebie, bierzemy w obronę uciśnionych, szanujemy indywidualność innych osób.

Prawo grzechu i śmierci objawia się w trosce przede wszystkim o siebie, w walce o przetrwanie nawet kosztem innych, życiem w ciągłym strachu, obawie, niepokoju. Złe traktowanie (a nawet zabijanie) innych w celu ochrony własnego życia jest rzeczą naturalną.

Gdy wkraczamy w ostatnie chwile przed powrotem Chrystusa, Bóg dopuszcza, by wydarzenia rozwijały się w taki sposób, by każdy miał szansę wybrać Jezusa—niekoniecznie w wyniku ewangelizacji, jako odpowiedź na wezwanie do ołtarza czy wyznania wiary. Każda osoba podejmie decyzję odnośnie wyboru zasad i metod, którymi będzie się kierować w życiu.

Każdy z nas zadecyduje, jakiego rodzaju prawem będzie się kierować w stosunku do innych. Czy będziemy miłować innych bardziej niż siebie, przedstawiając im prawdę w miłości, dając im prawo podejmowania niewymuszonych decyzji? Czy poświęcimy dla nich swoje własne zasoby, być może narażając się nawet na bezpieczeństwo przy udzielaniu im pomocy, czy zapewnianiu ochrony i przytułku?

Czy może też postawimy siebie na pierwszym miejscu i będziemy się posługiwać kłamstwem w obawie przed odrzuceniem, rewanżem, aresztowaniem, zwolnieniem z pracy, cenzurowaniem? Czy będziemy szerzyć fałsz, wywierać presję na innych, stawać po stronie rządu naruszającego wolność jednostki, używać siły, donosić na tych, co nie stosują się do praw rządowych oraz odmawiać im ochrony i pomocy?

Nasz wybór odnośnie metod i prawa jakie stosujemy jasno wykaże, po czyjej stronie stajemy: Boga czy szatana. Każdy osobiście przyjmie lub odrzuci Jezusa w taki właśnie sposób—nawet ci w odludnych miejscach, którzy nigdy o Nim nie słyszeli.

Zbawiciel powiedział:

„Gdy Syn Człowieczy przyjdzie w swojej chwale i wszyscy święci aniołowie z nim, wtedy zasiądzie na tronie swojej chwały. I będą zgromadzone przed nim wszystkie narody, a on odłączy jedne od drugich, jak pasterz odłącza owce od kozłów. I postawi owce po swojej prawej, a kozły po lewej stronie” (Ew. Mateusza 25:31‑33 UBG).

Zauważmy również, że Jezus nie rozdziela ludzi zależnie od rasy, narodowości, kultury, wierzeń czy wyznania. Jezus rozdziela ludzi na podstawie tego, jakie prawo stosują w życiu, w jaki sposób traktują innych—a tym samym jak traktują Jego:

„Wtedy król powie do tych, którzy będą po jego prawej stronie: Przyjdźcie, błogosławieni mego Ojca, odziedziczcie królestwo przygotowane dla was od założenia świata. Byłem bowiem głodny, a daliście mi jeść, byłem spragniony, a daliście mi pić, byłem obcym, a przyjęliście mnie; Byłem nagi, a ubraliście mnie, byłem chory, a odwiedziliście mnie, byłem w więzieniu, a przyszliście do mnie.

Wtedy sprawiedliwi mu odpowiedzą: Panie, kiedy widzieliśmy cię głodnym i nakarmiliśmy cię albo spragnionym i daliśmy ci pić? I kiedy widzieliśmy cię obcym i przyjęliśmy cię albo nagim i ubraliśmy cię? Albo kiedy widzieliśmy cię chorym lub w więzieniu i przyszliśmy do ciebie?

A król im odpowie: Zaprawdę powiadam wam: To, co uczyniliście jednemu z tych moich braci najmniejszych, mnie uczyniliście. Potem powie i do tych, którzy będą po lewej stronie: Idźcie ode mnie, przeklęci, w ogień wieczny, przygotowany dla diabła i jego aniołów. Byłem bowiem głodny, a nie daliście mi jeść, byłem spragniony, a nie daliście mi pić; Byłem obcym, a nie przyjęliście mnie, byłem nagi, a nie ubraliście mnie, byłem chory i w więzieniu, a nie odwiedziliście mnie.

Wtedy i oni mu odpowiedzą: Panie, kiedy widzieliśmy cię głodnym albo spragnionym, albo obcym, albo nagim, albo chorym, albo w więzieniu, a nie usłużyliśmy tobie? Wówczas im odpowie: Zaprawdę powiadam wam, czego nie uczyniliście jednemu z tych najmniejszych, nie uczyniliście i mnie. I pójdą ci na męki wieczne, sprawiedliwi zaś do życia wiecznego” (Ew. Mateusza 25:34‑46 UBG).

Każda osoba dokona wyboru—albo będzie miłować bliźniego, albo nie.

Błagam cię, abyś wybrał Jezusa poprzez wybór właściwych metod i sposobu, w jaki traktujesz innych!

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

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 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.
