Siedem lepszych rzeczy niż ten świat oferuje: część 3

Siedem lepszych rzeczy niż ten świat oferuje: część 3

Co jest jeszcze przed nami?

 

5. Lepsza ojczyzna

Teraz jednak dążą do lepszej ojczyzny, która jest w niebie. Dlatego Bóg nie wstydzi się, gdy nazywają Go swoim Bogiem, bo przygotował im miasto (Hbr 11:16 EŚP).

Nie otrzymujemy „lepszej ojczyzny” tu na ziemi. Nie jest to skrawek ziemi na Bliskim Wschodzie, gdzie nieustannie się toczą wojny. Lepsza ojczyzna nie nadejdzie za sprawą ziemskich rządów ani za sprawą egzekwowania narzuconego prawa. Bestialski system będzie kłamliwie przekonywał świat, że możemy uzyskać pokój i bezpieczeństwo dzięki wzmożeniu mocy prawa i egzekwowaniu go bardziej rygorystycznie.

Sprawiedliwi jednak tęsknią za lepszym krajem – krajem niebiańskim, gdzie bezpieczeństwo nie jest osiągnięte dzięki doskonałemu nadzorowaniu społeczności przez wszechwiedzącego Boga, ani dzięki patrolowaniu przez niebiańską policję wszechmocnego Boga, który rozstawia aniołów z płonącymi mieczami na każdym rogu. Nie! Bezpieczeństwo w niebie nie będzie polegało na doskonałym egzekwowaniu przepisów. Bezpieczeństwo w niebie będzie zapewnione przez odnowioną, Chrystusową doskonałość charakteru jego mieszkańców. Każdy będzie miał wypisane na sercu i umyśle Boże prawo prawdy, miłości i wolności, i każdy wolałby oddać swoje życie, niż skrzywdzić drugiego. Każdy będzie podobny do Jezusa i każdy będzie godny pełnego zaufania, tak jak sam Jezus!

Z wielką niecierpliwością oczekujmy na lepszą ojczyznę!

 

6. Lepsze zmartwychwstanie

Kobiety odzyskały swoich zmarłych przez wskrzeszenie. Inni zaś byli torturowani, nie przyjąwszy uwolnienia, aby dostąpić lepszego zmartwychwstania (Hbr 11:35 UBG).

Lepsze zmartwychwstanie to zmartwychwstanie do życia wiecznego w nieśmiertelnych ciałach, w świecie wolnym od wszelkiego śladu grzechu. Nie jest to zmartwychwstanie, jakiego doświadczył syn Szunamitki (2 Krl 4:18‑37) albo człowiek, który został wrzucony do jaskini i dotknął kości Elizeusza (2 Krl 13:20), bądź Łazarz (J 11:14‑43) albo też syn wdowy (Łk 7:11‑17) czy córka Jaira (Mk 5:21‑43). Wszyscy ci ludzie doznali zmartwychwstania do tego samego doczesnego życia w grzechu, zamęcie, chorobie, zepsuciu i śmierci.

Nasza lepsza nadzieja jest w Jezusie, który zapewnia „lepsze zmartwychwstanie” do życia wiecznego.

Oto oznajmiam wam tajemnicę: Nie wszyscy zaśniemy, ale wszyscy będziemy przemienieni; W jednej chwili, w mgnieniu oka, na ostatnią trąbę. Zabrzmi bowiem trąba, a umarli zostaną wskrzeszeni niezniszczalni, a my zostaniemy przemienieni. To bowiem, co zniszczalne, musi przyodziać się w to, co niezniszczalne, a to, co śmiertelne, przyoblec się w nieśmiertelność. A gdy to, co zniszczalne, przyoblecze się w niezniszczalność, a to, co śmiertelne, przyoblecze się w nieśmiertelność, wtedy wypełni się to słowo, które jest napisane: Połknięta jest śmierć w zwycięstwie (1 Kor 15:51‑54 UBG).

 

7. Coś lepszego

A ci wszyscy, choć zyskali chlubne świadectwo dzięki wierze, nie dostąpili spełnienia obietnicy; Ponieważ Bóg przewidział dla nas coś lepszego, aby oni nie stali się doskonali bez nas (Hbr 11:39,40 UBG).

Nikt z długiej listy wiernych Bogu, zapisanej w Liście do Hebrajczyków 11, którzy choć tęsknili za lepszą ziemią (ziemią obiecaną), nie otrzymał tego, co zostało obiecane – łącznie z Enochem, który jest na tej liście. Chociaż Enoch został zabrany do nieba nie zaznawszy śmierci i chociaż mógł rozmawiać z Jezusem twarzą w twarz, nie otrzymał jeszcze tego, co zostało obiecane, ponieważ obiecany jest wszechświat wolny od grzechu wraz z Edenem – rajem przywróconym na Ziemi.

Zgodnie z tym, co powiedział Jezus, pewnego dnia pokorni odziedziczą Ziemię (Mt 5,5). Obietnicą, która nie została jeszcze spełniona, jest odnowiona rasa ludzka na czele z Jezusem jako drugim Adamem, która zamieszka na nowej Ziemi – Ziemi wolnej od wszelkiego grzechu i w pełnym rozkwicie – takiej, jak stworzył ją Bóg. Otrzymamy tę obietnicę dopiero po tysiącu latach, kiedy wszelki grzech, niepokutujący grzesznicy, choroby, szatan, śmierć i grób zostaną wytępione, a Ziemia zostanie odtworzona w doskonałości jako wieczny dom sprawiedliwych. (Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej o obietnicach Boga dla ziemi w Palestynie, zajrzyj na naszego bloga Izrael a Ziemia Obiecana).

Wszystko jest „lepsze” z Jezusem – życie w harmonii z Jego zamysłem i Jego prawami projektowymi Stworzyciela. Pomimo grzechu Adama, pomimo naszego grzechu, braku ufności do Boga, strachu, niedociągnięć, buntu i błędów, pomimo naszej choroby grzechu, Bóg wciąż oferuje nam coś lepszego – lepsze życie wypełnione Jego pokojem, miłością, radością, mocą, mądrością, prawdą – życie (serce i umysł) wypełnione obecnością Boga  żyjącego w nas poprzez swojego Ducha! Zachęcam Cię więc do przyjęcia lepszego życia, otwarcia serca przed Jezusem i zaproszenia Go do środka (jeśli jeszcze tego nie zrobiłeś). To jest zdecydowanie lepsze niż wszystko, co świat może zaoferować.

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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

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 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.

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

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 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 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.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

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 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

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 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!

Ashleighn C.

 

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!
