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 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.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

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 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 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.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

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.

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 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 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 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, 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 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
