DO NOT HAVE MORE HIGH CONCEPT OF WHICH WE HAVE

in #sc-v5 years ago

I still do not cease to be surprised by the great mercy that God has had, with all of us who were once reached by His grace. It is incredible that after being so sinful and unworthy, He had the audacity to give His Son, pure, holy and divine; so that he would die for us on a cross, to be discharged in Him, all the wrath of God, an anger that he did not deserve and that we did deserve. How precious was this sacrifice and even more extraordinary, the moment when He was resurrected.

This great sacrifice carries a mysterious, profound and divine wisdom; a wisdom that from the human and natural point of view, it is impossible to understand. As proof of this, you can ask any person and with complete certainty, know of the death of Jesus on the cross, of his resurrection; but in reality they do not know and do not understand, or worse, they do not want to understand, what their delivery meant. In my case for example, I must confess that only in the last three years of my life, I understood by the mercy of God, how that divine sacrifice has been the reason of my existence and the guarantee that I have to achieve the salvation of my soul and eternal life.

The sad thing is that we do not give God the importance he deserves; Many times we believe ourselves to be more important than Him, and we see Him only as our "bank of blessings" assuming that we are His preferred clients. We forget what is the main purpose for which we exist, for which he created us, which is none other than worshiping him. We forget that we were created for Him, we were created to love Him and to serve Him.

Many people believe that because they have performed a prayer of faith at some time in their lives, they are already worthy of the eternal blessings that the Lord grants in Christ Jesus, when it is noticed by their fruits, that they never received it in reality. your heart; others believe that because they have suffered many adversities, have greater benefits or perhaps, they deserve much more from God; and others, they strive to hoard all the blessings of "prosperity" as if it were a kind of reward, to their "yes" when the Lord touched the doors of their heart.

It is true that while we were separated from the Lord, Satan did nothing else, rather than rob us, kill us and destroy us, and that our Beloved Father sent his Precious Son to give us life and give us a life in abundance. But beware, let's not confuse things, that abundance of which he speaks is spiritual before anything else. It is true that God wants to see us prosperous, He is a God of abundance, He is a generous God; However, the prosperity that most interests you is that of our spirit.

Do not think so important! Jesus Christ, being King of Kings and Lord of Lords, became poor in order to grant us the most valuable treasure we can have, eternal life. Do not worry so much about what you can get while you live in this world, worry about where you will spend the rest of eternity, strive to prosper in your spirit, your soul and the rest of the things that the Lord knows you really need, You will have them, He will give them to you. Therefore, from your wonderful riches, my God will give you, through Jesus Christ, all that you need. Philippians 4:19 (Bible TLA).

We do not deserve anything, it is the grace of God, which gives us the privilege of accessing its beautiful blessings; And stop believing that you have suffered too much and that for that suffering, God has to reward you. Stop believing that because you have strived, you deserve to have what you want, you will have what God wants you to have. Thank you that he put his gaze on us and chose us, we thank him that he had mercy and rescued us.

Beloved, I wish you to prosper in all things, and to be healthy, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1: 2. (Reina Valera 1960).

Worry about prospering your life in the spirit; the rest is addition!

The word says that we should not be boastful, have no higher concept than we should have, vanity and pride are characteristics that are not pleasing to God.
