Una vida digna de ser recompensada


Leer | MATEO 7.24-27

15 y 16 de septiembre de 2012

El presidente del seminario donde estudié dijo una vez que lo valioso se construye sobre un fundamento firme. Es posible que un gallinero no requiera una base muy buena, pero un rascacielos requiere toneladas de acero enterradas en la tierra. Jesucristo es el fundamento más fuerte y más firme sobre la cual puede construirse una vida.

Piense en su vida como un rascacielos. Para ser un constructor sabio es necesario...

Aplicar la Palabra de Dios. Construimos una estructura duradera por medio del estudio y la aplicación de la Palabra. Los principios y los mandamientos del Señor son la guía para una vida victoriosa.

Dar sacrificialmente, perdonar gustosamente y amar abundantemente (Hch 2.45; Ef 4.32; 1 P 1.22). En esta edificación no hay lugar para el orgullo ni el egoísmo. Estas cosas solo sirven para construir una choza tambaleante susceptible al fuego (1 Co 3.13).

Usar nuestros dones para glorificar al Señor. El Espíritu Santo nos ha preparado para servir al Señor. No podemos permitirnos el ser perezosos o tener miedo, porque tenemos solamente unos pocos años para trabajar para Él en este mundo.

Compartir el evangelio. Hablar a otros de Jesucristo es el mayor servicio que podemos ofrecer a Dios y a nuestro prójimo. El Señor mismo nos ha llamado a esta tarea (Mt 28.19).

Los constructores de rascacielos espirituales, en lugar de crear monumentos para el mundo, reflejan la gloria de Dios. La verdad es que, aunque muchos actos de obediencia solo los ve el Señor, Él recuerda toda palabra llena de misericordia y toda obra, y su propósito es recompensar cada una de ellas.

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: 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, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.
