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 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.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

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 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.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

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.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, 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 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

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 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 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Anthony L., CA, USA
