Cuando acepté a Cristo como Señor y Salvador de mi vida, alguien me dijo: “Defiéndete ahora lo mejor que puedas”, lo cual no es un consejo ni bíblico ni útil. Poco después, fui discipulado por cristianos fieles que me enseñaron la verdad en cuanto a la vida del creyente.
Un creyente se identifica como hijo de Dios. Por medio de la oración, tenemos acceso al Padre en todo momento, y podemos vivir confiados en que cumplirá cada una de sus promesas. Ya no somos etiquetados como “pecadores”, pues hemos sido convertidos en santos —en personas salvas por gracia, y separadas para los propósitos de Dios.
Un creyente está posicionado en Cristo. El Espíritu de Dios habita en nosotros para que podamos vivir en santidad como lo hizo Jesús. El pasaje de hoy utiliza la metáfora de la vid para describir esta relación. Nos dice que el Señor es la vid y nosotros las ramas conectadas a Él, alimentándonos de su poder.
La misión de un creyente es mostrar a Cristo al mundo. Nuestra viña debe producir el fruto del amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, benignidad, bondad, fe, mansedumbre y templanza (Gá 5.22, 23). Cuando nuestro carácter y nuestra conducta reflejan estos aspectos de la naturaleza del Señor Jesús, ayudamos a los demás a ver la hermosura de una relación con el Señor.
La verdad acerca de los creyentes es que no tenemos que “defendernos ahora lo mejor que podamos”. Dios obra por medio de sus hijos para lograr sus buenos propósitos.

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
