Jezus spłaca nasz dług Bogu

Jezus spłaca nasz dług Bogu

Właśnie znalazłem ten cytat i chciałem zapytać, jak go zrozumieć:

„Sługa, który okradł swego pana, nie miał nic, czym mógłby to zło naprawić. Grzesznik, który okradł Boga z lat służby, nie ma możliwości oddania swego długu. Jezus staje między grzesznikiem a Bogiem, mówiąc: Ja spłacę dług. Zachowajmy grzesznika; będę cierpiał zamiast niego.” (Review & Herald, 14 grudnia 1911, ust.16)

Jak mamy to zrozumieć? Wszystko zależy od tego, przez jaką soczewkę patrzymy na ‘prawo’.

Jeśli wierzymy, że Boże rządy są takie, jak starorzymskie rządy dyktatorskie, gdzie prawo (nie zawierające samo w sobie żadnych konsekwencji) jest narzucane pod groźbą kary oraz wymaga nadzoru, wówczas czytelnik widzi w powyższym cytacie prawne odpłatności – o których tak naprawdę nie ma tu mowy.

Jeśli jednak zaczniemy od poznania Boga takim, jak objawił Go Jezus – zrozumiemy Jego charakter miłości, zdamy sobie sprawę z tego, że Bóg powołał życie do istnienia na zasadzie protokołów stworzenia, które są wyrazem Jego charakteru miłości – wówczas czytając takie cytaty dochodzimy do zupełnie innych wniosków.

Patrząc przez pryzmat prawa miłości uświadamiamy sobie, że ludzkość została stworzona w kontekście niebiańskiej wojny o charakter Boga. Kiedy Bóg stworzył człowieka, aniołowie już istnieli (zob. Hioba 38:3‑7). Ludzkość została obdarzona życiem, zdolnością do rozmnażania się i władania, jak również światem tętniącym pięknem i życiem. Bóg stworzył rasę ludzką w zaufaniu, że ujawni prawdę o Jego charakterze. Tak samo, jak Bóg Ojciec, Bóg Syn i Duch Święty wchodzą w jedność miłości i stwarzają istoty na swój obraz, tak też ludzkość została stworzona jako mężczyzna i kobieta na obraz Boży, by zjednoczyć się w miłości i dać początek istotom na swój obraz. Jakiej lekcji Adam i Ewa mogliby udzielić, gdyby pozostali lojalni wobec Boga i mieli dzieci w bezgrzesznym świecie? Czy znęcaliby się nad nimi, zdominowali je lub zniewolili? A może raczej w samopoświęceniu chroniliby, wychowywali i kochali je, stając się dla nich błogosławieństwem?

Biblia mówi, że jesteśmy podręcznikiem – teatrem / widowiskiem – dla aniołów (1 Koryntian 4:9). Czego nauczyliby się aniołowie, gdyby Adam i Ewa pozostali wierni Bogu? Obserwując ich życie, powiedzieliby: „Och, teraz rozumiemy. Bóg nie stworzył nas po to, byśmy Mu usługiwali; On sam bezustannie daje z siebie dla naszego dobra i szczęścia!” Kłamstwa szatana wyszłyby na jaw!

Jednak Adam i Ewa zawiedli Boże zaufanie i przedstawili Go w fałszywym świetle. Poprzez swój zły wybór wyrządzili wiele szkody zarówno Świątyni Ducha jak i całemu stworzeniu. Ludzkość nie była w stanie naprawić tych szkód, odwrócić krzywd ani odwołać zniesławienia Bożego charakteru. Tak więc człowiek był winien Bogu dług moralny, dług zaufania, dług miłości, dług zmarnowanych możliwości i środków – a nie dług prawny! Jezus ujawnił prawdę o Bogu, rozwinął w sobie doskonały ludzki charakter, wypełnił cel, w jakim został stworzony Adam – i dzięki temu stworzenie zostanie odnowione, co jest równoznaczne z anulowaniem długu poprzez naprawienie szkód (uleczenie) i spełnienie celu stworzenia człowieka.

Bóg jest wspaniały! Zapraszam Cię, byś zachwycił się pięknem Jego charakteru oraz jeszcze bardziej upodobnił się do Niego!

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 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 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!

M.K., 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.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

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 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

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 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

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 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 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Helen D., London, England

 

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
