A SAVIOR KING OF THE WORLD

A savior king in the XXI century? Yes, and capitalized: King Salvador. To reach such dignity Nazareth Jesus must not only respond to the prophetic requirements of their Jewish ancestors, but subjected to the most ruthless torture of all history. Surely many people have suffered similar torture or worse than him, but you have to keep in mind at least two aspects of this ordeal to be considered as the most representative of all humanity:

A)  It was voluntary, he did it for love. If Jesus had decided not to make this martyrdom, perhaps things would go more or less as usual ... Multitudes immersed in selfish and ineffective religious traditions feelings, sometimes flooded to the crown, without themselves they perceive it, being at will run by religious machinery that promote dulling their sense of reality.

B)   It was an inmate to death who did not utter a curse. Any javelin expressed by him it had placed at the same level of any political leader; but as was the Lamb of God, to the God he was not harboring in his heart feelings of resentment. This was demonstrated when he asked his father for forgiveness for his executioners. These features framed with great merit conquered his title of "King Savior." For many people it just means a touching tale of religious literature. For others it is something we must accept as truth by faith to have beneficial subjective effects, but nothing more.

   We read in Ro.5.8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." When here says: "for us", we must understand it as "for us" and not "instead of us", as claimed by some heretics to justify their low trends. They say: "As Christ and his sacrifice paid what we deserve for our offenses, then we can do what we please, because despite everything we are justified before God." This false reasoning totally distorts the meaning of Christian salvation.

To better understand the term "salvation" we must first understand that the release plan that the Father Creator arranged for Humanity (divine plan of government led by King Jesus, guided by the doctrinal principles of the Constitution-the Holy Scriptures, and in which participants have directly from the strength of the Spirit of God and the help of his angels) is something not only true but it was designed so that it became a reality in our midst. This government program that our King Savior offers us to overcome all the evils and injustices of humanity, contains three basic aspects that must discern clearly:

    The Eternal Father promises and promises to forgive all sins or offenses against him on the merits of the sacrifice of his Son, his Sacrificial Lamb anyone who repented sinner recognizes his status as a rebel, and ask forgiveness said. To achieve this grace we not have to do any work. That is why Scripture says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not by works, so that no one can boast "(Ef.2.8).

   The second aspect is that those who receive the forgiveness of our sins, but often must live with the temptations of falling into sin, we have the strength of the Holy Spirit to overcome. We read: "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and for all who are far off, tales the Lord our God will call "(Acts 2.38-39.)" For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. "(Ro.8.13)" Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another deeply, pure heart "(1-P.1.22).

   The third aspect is that those who participate in this Kingdom valgamos us the gifts and talents that our Eternal Father gave us to collaborate in the work of her Son, (See Lc.19 11-27.) Let us be clear: the divine government was transferred from Israel to the Church (Mt.21.43; Lc.12.32). It is in its development stage, growing as a tree (Matthew 13: 31-32), and even within it there are weeds, enemies of God (Mt.13. 41-43), will have its full manifestation when the King Jesus himself invited his followers to take full possession of this wonderful kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world for those who voluntarily elect to apply

   We experience the great benefits of living "under the new regime of the Spirit" (Ro.7.6) when we obey, among others, commands such Comoa) Have partnership commitments only with the people of God, becoming this way real "members body of Christ "(2-Co.6 14-18; 7.1; 1-Co.12.27.) .B) Redistribute among believers economic resources generated by themselves, investing for their own welfare and development: education, work , housing, health, sport, etc. (2-Co.8. 13-15). Transparency and accountability in the management of these resources should be absoluta.C) Allow the Holy Spirit of God to exercise their sovereignty through truly theocratic government. Every congregation or Christian institution should be cared for by a Council of Bishops or Body of Pastors who seek to be guided by the Holy Spirit, so that to reach this dignity should be subject to the conditions laid down in the Holy Scriptures (1. Ti.3.1-7; Tit 1: 5-9).. A single person should never exercise full authority in any congregation. (Hch.14. 23).

   

NEAR OR FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD

   Understand what the Kingdom of God is not as simple as one might imagine. It can be achieved only by the grace of God ... "Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. (Mt.13.11).

   Failure to fully understand the context of Scripture ("the sum of your word is truth" -Sal.119.160-) is the force that ensures the accuracy of a doctrine makes many people reach erroneous conclusions, even to defend heresies passionately.

   Not knowing the context of a scriptural passage leads to confusion and error. Examples are the people who first read: "Love not the world, neither the things that are the world. It is anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. "(1-Jn. 2.15). Then they lie elsewhere: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (Jn. 3:16)

   A neophyte would say: "How, then, the Bible says in one place, not to love the world, while elsewhere he also says that the same God loved the world? Another example: About good works, whether to do it secretly and openly, compare with Mt. 5.15-16 6.3-4.

   For most people who search the Word of God will not be difficult to give proper explanation, but it is desirable that through prayer humbly ask God to be lessened or removed from us the concepts implemented by the tradition that accepts but does not understand just because others do too. Become like a child to enter the Kingdom of God (Mr.10.15) does not mean being ignorant or manipulated. But where to find the truth about the Kingdom of God? On the internet you can find many sites that deal with this issue. Mine is one of them.

   It must be remembered that the enemy of our souls, the adversary of our King Salvador, NO sleep. In this network there are already many pages that misinform and distort the Scriptures trying to obstruct or undermine the plans of our Heavenly Father, "but all things, when they are exposed by the light are made manifest; because the light is everything that becomes visible. " (Eph. 5. 13).

   

IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAT TO RECEIVE

And the picture? ... It's a joke, do not worry. Now, seriously:

  Paul preached the kingdom of God and worried that some called "elders" or "pastors" leaders arrived to take the lead in a selfish and irresponsible. He knew that "the root of all evil is the love of money" (1-Ti.6.10), and that some "their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words" (2-P.2.3 ... "teaching for filthy lucre what is not convenient "(Titus 1.11).

   This apostle, despite his tireless and admirable work as an activist of the divine plan to free mankind from its chaos and misery, worked making tents (Hch.18.1-3) wanted to be an example of the early leaders, and reminded them what was said by the Master himself, who said: "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Hch.20.35). But clearly Paul meant here that they, the shepherds, which should give the sheep need, not, however, give the sheep herders, as practiced today in the religious world.

   Elsewhere this is confirmed when Paul tells the Corinthians: "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; for children ought not to lay for parents, but the parents for the children. And I will spend the greatest pleasure is mine, and I still expend myself entirely for the sake of your souls, though the more abundantly, am I loved the less. "(2-Co.12.14-15).

   The gospel of Jesus Christ is not the same as encouraging ignorant, weak and anxious to certain rituals and religious attitudes can live quietly believing that money can buy souls divine favors. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of the kingdom of God here on earth, to make it ax the Creator's intimate lives in our community, and family. When speaking community here does not refer to the common people, which is not part of God's people, but one that seeks to live under the paternal coverage divine government becomes.

   St. Paul recognizes and defends the rights of "stewards of the manifold grace of God" (1-P.4.10) said: "So the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live of the gospel" (1-Co. 9.14) Unfortunately, there are many believers who believe to be pastors or leaders is a profession like any other in the world, and not a divine call for a service that involves sacrifice and selflessness. Some require very good salary or compensation for their services, according to their academic qualifications or celebrity names. Others prefer to have, for their own interests of all economic resources provided by the congregation, without giving any reason the criteria and how these are handled.

   Neither the Holy Spirit in our conception of justice of the Kingdom of God allowed, under any circumstances, dictators or phonies want to line their own pockets at the expense of naive believers who for some reason ignored the economic resources of a Christian congregation are to meet the needs of all the members who compose it, and aspiring to show the world the power of the gospel more by facts than by mere words. "for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power" (1 -Co.4.20). "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Mt.5.16).

   One of the doctrinal principles that every Christian who participates consciously and responsibly the Kingdom of God must obey and proclaim is the socio-economic equality clearly-mandated Paul when speaking of the economic resources of the early believers, said, "For I mean not so 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, so that 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 less "(2-Co.8.13-15)..

   Do not believe, then we rigged and false interpretations that promotes individualism and contempt and indifference with brothers "abused" (He.13.3), because for all the people of God is better than "... speaking the truth in love, may grow all in him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament help each other, according to the proper working of each individual part, grows and builds on love. "(Ef.4.15-16) .63)

   

BLIND GUIDES

   Some people unknowingly and in good faith, are "blind and leaders of the blind" (Mt 15.14) are not enough good intentions. There will even be people to believe that they did the best, I personally claim our Savior, declaring the virtues of their actions; but these will be hard not only rejected, but punished (Mt 7.15-25) They made a lot of materiality but put aside the good they might have done to his "brethren" (Mt 25.40,45). Love and justice are two major hallmarks of the Kingdom of God.

   "If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother he is a liar. If anyone does not love his brother whom m has seen can not love God, whom he has not seen? (I-Jn. 4.20) But the apostle John this love must be translated into concrete actions, not sophistry to distract or manipulate. "But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love with words or tongue, if not in deed and in truth "(I-Jn. 3.17-18).

IMMINENT DANGER

It is very comfortable to let others think for us, and be part of the mass of believers who assume that most yell or behave more righteously, is right; and it is also painful to leave the emotional dependence or addiction to certain older groups of people, even though we know or intuit that are "wells without water, clouds driven by a storm" (2-P.2.17).

  

Anyone can proclaim their own truth. When the colorblind ensures that a color is green, still red, it would argue foolishness when this does not affect their peers. It is its own truth, something that no one does right or wrong. But if said colorblind driving a vehicle in which we were several passengers, and he will ensure that the traffic light is green, perceiving others actually is red, then something should be done, because we would be in imminent danger.

   And smoking can cause us cancer, so the blind attachment to certain leaders or groups can lead us to a completely different to what we really we intended destination. In the same way that democratic governments need opposition to balance their judgment, honest Christians need to be aware of the objection that support the opponents of their faith to see to correct any errors or dangers that must flee. Failure to do so means full voluntary submission to an awkward sentence and renounces the freedom to which we are called Christians authentic.

THE FAITH AND THE PRAYER

The faithful to Judaism pray regularly three times a day. Participants of Islam do five times; and the followers of King Jesus, how many times do? On this subject much has been written. Here it is sufficient to say that prayer is one of the foundations on which he lives and the people of the Kingdom of God is developed.

   Here the model prayer taught by the Messiah himself, and other guidance about gives us the word of the kingdom: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, to be seen of men; Truly I tell you, they have their reward.

   But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen who think they will be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father you know what things you need before you ask him.

   You, therefore, pray: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. "(Mt.6.5-13).

   "You have heard that it was said, 'you Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you "(Mt.5.43-44). "Jesus answered and said unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will be done, what I say will be done.

   Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive them, and ye shall have them. And when you stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. . Because if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses "," Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak "(Mr.11.22-26; 14.38)..

   "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax; I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and he who humbles himself will be exalted. "(Lc.18.10-14).

   "But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, you to help together with me to God, to be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service to the saints in Jerusalem may be accepted; to come unto you with joy by the will of God, and be refreshed with you. And the God of peace be with you all. Amen. "(Ro.15.30-33).

   "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints" (Ef.6.18). "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." (1-Ti.2.8). "And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb; each they are holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints "(Ap.5.8)

   "And another angel came and stood at the altar, (A) with a golden censer; He was given much incense to the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the angel's hand rose into the presence of God the smoke of incense with the prayers of the saints. "(Ap.8.3-4).

   

ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE

In the Kingdom of God, which in its current stage of development is current among us, there is the principle of equality, which makes this divine system of comprehensive government the best alternative to eradicate world poverty. This principle has its part in the habit of tithing, practiced authorities and after the Mosaic Law, and in this time, not considered as standard ritual, it becomes the ideal means of achieving a fair socio-economic balance, at least within the people of God.

   This principle is clearly expressed in two-Co.8.13-15: "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, so that their abundance also 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.”

   Justice of the Kingdom of God does not give place to those who participate in this divine liberation project we are useful idiots or easy prey for "savage wolves" creep in to disable this command, and channeling financial resources for their own benefit personal.

   The apostle Paul says, "For I know that after my departure enter in among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples will rise. Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not with tears to admonish each. And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified. Silver or gold or clothing of no one I coveted. You yourselves know that it has been to my needs and those who are with me, these hands have me. In all things I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive "(Hch.20.29-35).

   This principle for life in the Kingdom was created so that "there may be food in my house" (Mal.3.10), which can be translated as the "abundant life" that King Jesus wants to have His redeemed (Jn.10.10). So that the prosperity that the Savior wants is for all its people equally, and not for a few profiteers who want to unfairly exploit the weakness and ignorance of people. The Holy Scriptures say that ... "because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed, And through covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words. On such as long time their judgment is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber "(2-P.2.2-3).

   

NOW IT IS UP TO US

   He already did his part Jesus Christ brought us the gospel of the Kingdom of God (Lc.4.43) and gave their lives in martyrdom in our favor (Mt.20.28). Now, although live by faith in our hearts (Ef.3.17) certainly "... had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting until his enemies They are made a footstool for your feet "

   It is necessary to allow the Holy Spirit to continue the work in and through us, "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, by us, to the glory of God."

   What is outside the context of the kingdom of God, as an integral system of government which is the divine plan of salvation in the Christian perspective, it would be pure surface without the practical effects of the religious community needs not only to enter with dignity to each other but to live this life with fullness and abundance.
