SOCIAL JUSTICE

   With pleasure I note that the issue of social justice calls attention of many people, and it seems that the work for it is one of the desires of their souls.

   I empathize with them because for several years and haunt me similar concerns. At first I stopped analyzing the concept of "salvation", mainly from the New Covenant or New Testament, and I think I have clear what this means, at least in substance and panoramic.

   Then I went further: Gradually I discovered that concepts such as "Jesus Christ, savior king", "holy nation," "kingdom of God", "members of the body of Christ," etc., were not there written as decoration, or to play with our imagination, because these and other concepts, form a well-defined plan for humanity is summed up in the phrase "kingdom of God".

   Although we know little of this matter, much has already been written about him, and for example, on the Internet there are thousands of pages concerning this topic. Those who truly have human sensitivity and we want social justice a reality in our environment we must give priority to the study of what is and what it might mean the Kingdom of God when they put their doctrinal principles into practice, such as the real unity, mutual aid organized, equality, etc.

   So my invitation and desire is that you study in depth the topic. When they do will probably be to You like finding a "hidden treasure" or find a "pearl of great price" (Matt Chap.13) In researching this topic they will also find concepts that distort or misrepresent reality.

   The force of truth is consistent with the context. Do not be discouraged. To finally discover that there is something that gives a deep meaning to our life and what is worth fighting ... The ideal of ideals: The Kingdom of God, to live well in this life and the next.

   

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?

   Today it is commonly thought that all human beings, without distinction, are others. When the Master Jesus (Yeshua) taught that it should love his neighbor as himself, someone asked: And who is my neighbor? In response the Messiah who intimated that is integral with one, that's the neighbor. But on the other hand, he instructed his disciples to ... "if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same? "(Mt.5.46)

   Although it seems a contradiction, I think are encouraged to develop and express special gratitude to those who help us. However, we could sinter conclude this comment with St. Paul said: "Let us not grow weary in doing good; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. So, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those of the household of faith. " (Gá.6.9-10).

    the context is extended, this reconfirms the fact that the "younger brothers" and who should seek greater solidarity (Matthew 25. 40), are those who do the will of God (Mr.3. 31-35).

    Moreover, we are exhorted Christians to be as members of one body, so ... "we no longer be children, carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men in their deceitful craftiness the wiles error, but speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint help each other, according to the activity own of each individual part, grows and builds itself in love. "(Eph 4. 14-16).

   In other words, we must organize for mutual aid in pursuit of the common good (He.13.16). But, what is the retarding factor, if not paralyzing, which does not allow this prospect to become a reality in the midst of so much need? Undoubtedly it is the love of money by those with selfishness and greed funneled to themselves the economic resources of believers (2-P.2. 1-3)

THE TRUTH HURTS BUT SATISFIES

   "The truth hurts, but please," goes a popular saying. The Master of Galilee told us: "The truth shall make you free" (Jn 8.32.). But it is not so much what each of us can interpret as true, but rather the tangible truth, the common reality that we can qualify, within the Christian community as fair and profitable for those involved.

   If the person who drives a vehicle suffers from color blindness and go green traffic light, his passenger realize that the light is not green but red, then the firm belief that driver in his own truth can be disastrous for the real welfare and common of those traveling in the means of transport.

   Justice, peace and joy inherent in the Kingdom of God, are not ornamental words, not only mystical fanciful aspirations of spiritualists, or useful tools of those who use religion as selfish purpose of marketing or political domination.

   Although sometimes the sweet words of our own truth bitter must become the womb of our common reality, the truth is that as human beings we believe in the divine plan of freedom, we must organize in the best way possible to implement effective sovereignty the Kingdom of God in our midst, and thus honoring the nations of the world, but without being part of them, honor and worship our own Sovereign, giving identity and relevance more and better their own nation, which settle those who live or want to live under the new regime of his Spirit, even when we have to fight and suffer to evade the evil weed that seeps into the people of God to undermine or hinder their values.

   Comforts us to think that our Lord will send his angels to remove from the midst of his true people that offend and do iniquity (Matt 13.41), and that he himself manifest to us the formal handover and full of His Kingdom prepared for us from the foundation of the world (Mt. 25.34).

TO PROTEST WITHOUT RIGHT

   When a human being arrogantly reproaches the Creator for some adversity, it is tacitly acknowledging the possibility of being or becoming his son, and then have to conclude that if you want the blessings of that good Father, should behave like a good son.

   
   Because if not, what right claim? And if you get angry you must know first thing you would do better "... casting all your anxiety on him (the Savior Jesus) because he cares for you" (1-P.5.7). However, "we know that those who love God, all things work together for good, that is, that according to his purpose are called." (Ro.8.28).

   Purpose of the Eternal Father is free from the power of darkness, and move the kingdom of his beloved Son "(Col. 1:13). That is why we are called and urged to collaborate working for this Kingdom (1-Co.3.9; Col.4.11), because "For he must reign until he has put his enemies under his feet" (1-Co . 15.25).
