Que es Esencial para la Salvación

Que es Esencial para la Salvación

Alguna vez te has preguntado cuales son los elementos esenciales que hacen a alguien un hijo de Dios?

Podrían ser:

  • Que profesen que Jesús es su Salvador?
  • Que hayan sido bautizados de la forma correcta?
  • Que día asisten al servicio de adoración?
  • Como se visten?
  • Que estén en pro o en contra del aborto?
  • Que crean en la Trinidad o la rechazan?
  • Que se abstengan de alcohol y del cerdo?

Considera cada elemento:

  • Hay personas que han profesado a Jesús como su Salvador pero que al final se perderán?

 De acuerdo a lo que dijo Jesús, muchos de los perdidos reclamaran salvación en su nombre: No todo el que me dice: “Señor, Señor”, entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino solo el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en el cielo. Muchos me dirán en aquel día: “Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre expulsamos demonios e hicimos muchos milagros?” Entonces les diré claramente: “Jamás los conocí. ¡Aléjense de mí, hacedores de maldad!”(Mat 7:21-23 NIV)

  • Habrán personas en el cielo que no fueron bautizados en agua?

Consideremos el ladrón en la cruz a quien Jesús prometió salvación. El hombre murió sin el bautismo de agua, así también todos los demás del antiguo testamento.

  • Han habido personas que observaron el día correcto de adoración sin embargo no tienen el carácter de Cristo en sus corazones?

Aquellos que crucificaron a Cristo querían bajarlo de la cruz antes de la puesta del sol para que el Sábado no fuera violado.

  • Han habido personas que se visten como Cristiano sin embargo hacen cosas que Cristo nunca haría?

Algunos personas han vestido abiertamente trajes religiosos, ropa diseñada para mostrar su devoción a Dios y sin embargo han molestado y abusado a inocentes.

  • Puede una persona ser pro-vida y actuar en formas que Jesús nunca actuaría?

Algunos han profesado Cristianismo sin embargo han matado doctores por practicar abortos y han bombardeado sus clínicas. Es tomar posición política y abogar por una póliza legislativa particular un requerimiento para la salvación?

  • Tenemos que comprender completamente la naturaleza de la Deidad para ser salvos?

Muchos que quemaron gente colgándolos en estacas creían en la Trinidad.

  • Estaremos perdidos porque comimos cosas que la Biblia decía no deberíamos comer?

David dio alimentos a sus soldados que solo eran permitido para los sacerdotes, sin embargo estará en el cielo. Fariseos que nunca tocaron cerdo tramaron el asesinato de Jesús

Parece ser que estos elementos particularmente pueden ponernos en un estado de miedo? Que tal si no lo estoy haciendo bien? Nos asusta estar en un problema legal con Dios, de tener un acto de pecado imperdonable en nuestra cuenta, de perder la salvación. Sin embargo cuando el miedo es la motivación principal para nuestro comportamiento, que nos pasa a nosotros? Nos volvemos inseguros, lo que resultara en conflictos con otros Cristiano que practican su fe diferente a nosotros.

Nos oponemos, acusamos, los rebajamos, y buscamos probar que los “otros” están equivocados. Como resultado, el cristianismo cae en división, desacuerdo y hostilidad.

Pero el Cristianismo que Cristo enseñó  fue de unidad, una experiencia en la que las divisiones desaparecen y la gente entra en un compañerismo amoroso a pesar de las diferencias. Jesús quebró las barreras divisorias: Él le habló a mujeres, tocó leprosos, comió con recolectores de impuestos y socializo con prostitutas; Él visitó a los Samaritanos, defendió y aceptó a los pobres, y quebrantó las reglas del sábado que las autoridades religiosas habían impuesto, para hacer el bien, como curar intocables.

Qué es lo diferente entre Jesús y la Cristiandad divisiva que vemos hoy?

Jesús amó perfectamente, operando solo sobre el protocolo (ley) del diseño de Dios para la vida. El no enfoco la vida con la perspectiva de concentrarse en las reglas, en cambio, porque entendió como la vida está construida por Dios para funcionar – en un círculo de amor sin fin – El sirvió abnegadamente  aun a aquellos que estaban quebrando las reglas.

Jesús vino para guiar a la humanidad de vuelta en armonía con el diseño de

Dios para la vida, lejos de las reglas cumplidas por temor y hacia un comportamiento donde el amor es la motivación. El entendía que actos de pecado te alejan del diseño de Dios – causando dolor, sufrimiento, y muerte – así que evito  comportamientos, y reglas religiosas, que lo podrían sacar de la armonía con el diseño de Dios. Él con frecuencia quebró reglas religiosas con la finalidad de traer a otros en armonía con el diseño de Dios.

Jesús sabía que un comportamiento modificado no podía salvar a nadie, porque el problema no es meramente el quebrantamiento de las reglas. Él sabía que el problema que el pecado causa es un corazón egoísta y guiado por el temor – una condición que nos pone afuera del diseño del amor de Dios. Jesús sabía que los seres humanos necesitaban ser renovados, regenerados, recreados; necesitaban nacer de nuevo, que nuestro corazón de piedra fuese removido, y puesto un corazones de carne, necesitamos tener el corazón circuncidado por el Espíritu Santo.

Jesús sabía que necesita bamos experimentar la verdad del amor de Dios para poder regresar a confiar en Dios. Para que así podamos elegir abrir nuestro corazón y experimentar el poder sanador del Espíritu y después vivir ese amor en la manera que tratamos a otros.

Así como la bíblica enseña:

  • El amor no perjudica al prójimo. Así que el amor es el cumplimiento de la ley. ( Romanos 13:10 NIV).
  • Hacen muy bien si de veras cumplen la ley suprema de la Escritura: «Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo»( Santiago 2:8 NIV)
  • “Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con todo tu ser y con toda tu mente”—le respondió Jesús—. Este es el primero y el más importante de los mandamientos. El segundo se parece a éste: “Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”.De estos dos mandamientos dependen toda la ley y los profetas. (Mateo 22: 37-40)

Solo regresando a la verdad de nuestro Dios creador, quien creo la vida para que funcionara bajo el protocolo del amor, y rechazando la mentira de que la ley de Dios funciona como las leyes humanas, un sistema de reglas impuestas que requiere penalidades impuestas, estará nuestra confianza en Dios restaurada.

Entonces, cuando los corazones se abren en confianza en Dios, el Espíritu vendrá a morar en nosotros y un milagro sucederá. El temor será reemplazado por el amor, el egoísmo será reemplazado por altruismo, la crueldad será reemplazado con bondad, la vergüenza y culpabilidad serán erradicadas por la paz y el contentamiento, las callosidades le darán paso a la suavidad, la rudeza se convertirá en amabilidad,  el impulsivo se convertirá en paciente, y la división se evaporara cuando la gente renovada en amor experimente genuina unidad de corazón, de principios, de motivos, de carácter – gente que celebra la riqueza de la diversidad en cultura, raza, nacionalidad, estatus social, educación y habilidades.

Cual es el elemento esencial que hace a una persona un hijo de Dios? Ser renovado en el corazón para amar como Dios ama y vivir en armonía con la forma que nuestro creador construyó su universo para funcionar. Todo esto se hace posible solamente a través de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús, quien tomó nuestra condición terminal sobre el mismo con el propósito de vencer el pecado, erradicarlo y restaurar la especie humana de regreso al ideal de Dios.

Le invito a rechazar la mentira de la falsa ley humana que ha infectado el cristianismo y que hace parecer que estamos en un problema legal con Dios y que Dios es un dictador cruel que requiere castigar a los que quiebran las reglas. En vez, adora nuestro Dios creador quien creó su universo para operar en amor y quien entiende que  todos nosotros estamos luchando con una condición de corazón y mente con la que nacimos, una condición que necesita sanación, no castigo, y quien envió a su hijo para obtener el remedio que curará y restaurara a todo el que confíe en El.

Te invito para que entres al Universo de amor de Dios!

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

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 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 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.

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 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 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

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 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).

Dalio M.

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

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.

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
