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 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 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

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 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 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

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.

R. N., MT, USA

 

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 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

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 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 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.
