YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH

 The Lord said that his followers are the "salt of the earth" (mt.5.13). But if the tiny grains of salt that are scattered, it loses its qualities, its value. It can then be carelessly trampled.

     The unity that our Savior wants in his people is not the same as that represented by the union of many oranges deposited in a package. The unit is required of Christians (members of the holy nation of God, 1-P.2.9) must be vital, organic, interacting as members of one body. We are the Body of Christ.

   But we really got to be, and not as suggestive imaginary dynamics of personal achievement, when organized way we help each other. Although we get together with people who are not part of God's people and not associate ourselves with them. We should not do (2Co.6.14-18 and 7.1).

   Nor should we expect to be "attached" to the force because of persecution of various kinds. We must unite for the sake of the love of God was poured out in our hearts. (Ro.5.5) So together we will not be contaminated by the dissolute, unbelieving and rebellious, but they will testify to the excellence of the divine government.

   Nor let us intimidate the righteous and evil because we have enough spiritual solvency to the sovereignty of the Kingdom of God will triumph over them, because "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled . 2-Co.10.3-6).

THE TITHE

   It is base on the economy of kingdom of God, which leads to equality and prosperity for all the people of God, which is integrated to serve through mutual aid organized, motivated by divine love that was poured into their hearts. Let the living and effective Word speak for itself, and the children of light can perceive the idea clearly:

   "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that "(Mal.3.10).

   "And Moses verily was faithful in all God's house as a servant, for a testimony of what was going to say; But Christ as a son over his house, whose house are we, if we hold firmly till the end the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope (He.3.5-6). "

   "And God is able to make abound to you all grace so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work ... that you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which produces through us thanksgiving to God "(2-Co.9.8,11).

   "For I mean not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that at this time, with equality your abundance may be a supply for their want, that also their abundance may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality, as it is written: he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack "(2-Co.8.13-15).

WE NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

   We can distinguish three sources of power in the world with which it manages or dominates human society: The political, military and economic power. The power puffed up, intoxicated, and gigantic ego; becomes addictive, and always wants more; It produces pain and humiliation of having to leave. However, for those who recognize their poverty and spiritual need (Mt.5.3), the Savior of the world offers another kind of power so that they can be freed from all kinds of tyrannies.

   The Lord God had made that promise long before his Lamb surrender his life in martyrdom; and it was precisely on the basis of this sacrifice that began having promised compliance, which endures to this day. Appearing to his disciples after the resurrection, the Master said, "... you will receive power when there come upon you the Holy Spirit, and you will be my witnesses ... to the ends of the earth." (Hch.1.8).

   The apostle Peter and instructed the crowd: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who are afar as many as the Lord our God shall call. "(Hch.2.38-39)

   The first tyranny that must be released, through this power that God offers us as a gift, is one that holds us immorality. Thus St. Paul says, "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. "" Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another deeply, from the heart. "(1-P.1.22)

   But this goes far beyond liberation. He not only wants us to bodily health, and our purified souls, but also wants us to be prosperous in all, (3-John 2). This divine power is not blind or produce chaos. It is guided by the revealed word and defines its parameters basically within ten (10) principles: 1) Holiness (He.12.14), 2) Integration (Jn.17.21; Ef.4.14-16; one-Co.12.25 -27), 3) Solidarity and service (He.13.16), 4) Equality, (2-Co.8.13-15), 5) Activism (Mt.12.30), 6) Integral Prosperity, (3-John. 2) 7) No violence (Ro.12.21), 8) Community Theocracy (Ef.5.21), 9) Longing for the Holy Spirit, and enable you to develop your power in us, (Hch.1.8), and 10) Accept Bible as the sole and sufficient revealed truth, the word of the Kingdom of God (Mt.13.19).

   These principles applied in personal and community life of the people of God make the mystery of God revealed to the world (Col.1.26-27) is the best solution to eradicate poverty, injustice and indifference. The Kingdom of God is in force in our country, and each of us who participated in it were given gifts and talents to ensure its smooth progress and development to the same Savior in person perfect and complete this great project. Meanwhile we must prepare us for the Spirit of God unites us and fill us with joy in this life and forever.

GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

(God decides through his servants, in which his spirit dwells.)

   When questioned authority in the Church, there are two major sectors claiming authenticity. This happens at least two of the three great monotheistic religions of the world: Islam and Christianity. Some defend the personal inheritance of power (For Roman Catholics, from St. Peter to the current Pope). Others argue that anyone at any time and place can acquire legitimate divine authority when it becomes worthy of it, (In Islam, the Sunnis say so, in Christianity, Protestants).

   However it is noteworthy that sometimes some individuals the right to be "sent by God" arrogate, when in fact what they want or need to say is that just created a project or program are emissaries who created it. But the really bad thing is that many followers of these leaders allow the gospel of the Kingdom of God and themselves be manipulated and exploited for purposes other than those for which the divine plan of redemption was designed.

   First we must admit that in the current Kingdom of God (which in its current stage of development between us grows, established and dignified,) there is no place for dictators. The authority must exercise the same God through His Holy Spirit, and this is manifested in the consciousness of his servants, who are his temple. And certainly not all believers are genuinely guided by him, then most of them should express the will of God, or at least as close to it as to decisions affecting the community.

   For these decisions are not manipulated or influenced insanely they must be preceded by sincere prayer, and unavoidably must be limited to ensure the utmost sincerity. Thus, congregations and Christian communities may grow in justice and dignity when we truly allow the Holy Spirit to do the work with believers, the believers and for believers, and these communities become strongholds of the Kingdom of God, where the lonely, distressed and marginalized in the world to be part of the happily praising the greatness of Jesus Christ our Savior King sublime, and living in the shelter of His grace.

  

THE TABLES OF THE GOD'S KINGDOM ALREADY ARE SERVED

   The assets of the Kingdom of God are served and available to those who decide to exploit them. The Lord wants us to be "perfect and entire, wanting nothing that we ever" (Stg.1.4); wish that "there may be food in his house" (Mal.3.10, and their "home" in the Old Testament referred to the earthly nation of Israel, now is the holy nation, the Church, which is the group of believers who God's Kingdom was prepared from the foundation of the world. (Mt.25.34).

  Those who understand the gospel of the Kingdom of God and accept the truth of the expressed in this article, valuing the importance can have this kingdom through de facto integration of its participants as the most effective means available to humanity overcoming their miseries and injustices must preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is not any gospel; It is the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

   But not only preach, but to develop through plans, projects and programs of Christians for Christians (Mark 7.27). Admittedly this sublime government in our individual lives and community, and be more than conquerors; because if God is for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8.31, 37).

  

LET'S HAVE PRACTICAL SENSE

   One of the desires of our Savior by coming to this world is that those who believe in the plan we achieve liberation abundant, prosperous life. This is why Paul, who received orders from him, said: "remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase and more ungodliness "(2-Ti.2.14-16)

   Here we are taught that it is more important practical benefits that may result from the Christian doctrine that the controversies they generate. Obviously it is in everyday human life in society where the scopes of good behavior are more appreciated in value.

   Convinces more facts than words. "For the purpose of this instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith, which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm "(1-Ti.1.5-7).

   For this reason the Master who told listeners: "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. "(Jn.14.11). In the same vein, he instructed his disciples: "You are the light of the world a city set on a hill can not be hid. Not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven "(Mt.5.14-16)

  This, then, is the practical meaning of liberation that our God offers us; "For all the promises of God in him they are yea, and in him Amen, by us, to the glory of God." (2-Co.1.20). In God's people no privileged classes, because equality under the rule of his government is one of the great principles that account this holy nation. So says clearly: "For I mean not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that at this time, with equality your abundance may be a supply for their want, that also their abundance may be a supply your need, that there may be equality, as it is written: he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack "(2-Co.8.13-15)..

   The privilege does exist is that of being useful to the community, ie, which also involved the Kingdom of God, which in its current stage of development is in force between us. So Paul elsewhere says, "is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that those who believe in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But avoid foolish questions .... because they are unprofitable and vain "(Titus 3.8-9).

   Peter confirms this: "And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile." (1-P.1.17). "Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every one according to his work." (Ap.22.12).

  

CAN CHRISTIANS HAVE PEACE?

     Those who have received the kingdom of God, guiding their lives on the path of truth (Lc.18.17;. 2-P 2.22), found peace through faith in the atoning death of the Messiah, to feel forgiven of their sins . No wonder the Scriptures say: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ro.5.1).

   But those who are "having girded your loins with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness" (Ef.6.14), are not satisfied with the peace that once was given to them. Because if they realize that there are facts or circumstances unfair within his family in the faith of Jesus Christ, can not remain indifferent to the suffering of some, or the tyranny of others

     In addition, because they know what they should do to the right of duty; and they are aware that justice not charity or his fellow servants can be as tragic as making great evils. To be accountable to our Savior many will admit that fell fatally in this nonsense. (Matthew 25. 31-46).

     Those who are fighting the good fight of faith and earnestly contend for it (one-Ti.6.12; Jud.3) do not support and passively resigned deception and injustices of the Evil One and his minions, though dressed as angels of light (2- Co.11.14). Paul says: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Ro.12.21).

    Christian attitude must therefore be active, as "an instrument of justice" (Ro.6,13), bearing in mind that "... the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (1-Co.10.4). These days, those strengths are equivalent in some cases to customs or doctrines calming nerves, illusions and entertain a lot, but do nothing to help the "edify" (Ro.14.19), ie organized mutual aid, if we agree that our Eternal Father is the God of order and not of confusion. (1-Co.14.33,40).

IN ORDER THAT THERE IS EQUALITY

   Although sometimes not generalize, many people in the world qualify as evangelical pastors corrupt thieves and profiteers. This is an exaggeration. Although there are "stone in the shoe" to the smooth running of the sovereignty of God in this world, the divine plan of salvation will be fulfilled.

   This salvation, which begins in individual human beings, becomes palpable in a community sometimes called People of God, other times Church or Holy Nation also disseminated throughout the land in relatively small communities.

   These groups or congregations need administrators, including teachers (experts in the Word of the Kingdom), evangelists (promoters), pastors (ie bishops, mayors, elders, priests, which in the language of the Bible are synonymous), Apostles (missionaries) and prophets (those who build, exhort and console).

   The Bible says: "Do not muzzle the ox that treads"; "The laborer is worthy of his hire"; "He who preaches the gospel should live of the gospel" (1-Ti.5.17-18; one-Co.9.14) Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd; The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. But the hired hand is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. ". Unfortunately, "the root of all evil is the love of money, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith ..." 1-Ti.6.10

   One of the objectives of the Kingdom of God, headed by Jesus Christ, our King Salvador, there is not poverty, nor moral, nor, obviously, the material on its own people and nation. "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he became poor, being rich, that ye through his poverty might become rich."

  But how is this accomplished if believers to "swim in abundance" while many may just barely survive? It is achieved when "no man seek his own, but each one" (1-Co.10.24); "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others" (Fil.2.4).

   "For I mean not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that at this time, with equality your abundance may be a supply for their want, that also their abundance, may be a supply for your want: that equality, as it is written: he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack "(2-Co.8.13-14)..

   The key is therefore to redistribute the church do its economic resources; because the interest should not focus on building beautiful chapels or meeting places, but enhance the dignity of believers, since the main purpose of the redemption of Christ is to free them of the dire consequences of sin that reigns in the world and one of those undesirable consequences is misery, poverty, which is not of God.

   The economic resources of the people of God must be for the good of all believers, not just for its managers. Also, examine the principle laid down by the apostle Paul said: "Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden, for I seek not yours, but you, ought not to lay the children for parents, but the parents for the children. "(2-Co.12.14)
