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 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 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.

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

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 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!

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 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

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.

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!

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

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 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

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!

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

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.
