Reflexos de la seva glòriaRG-43 Protegeix-nos«i no deixis que caiguem en la temptació, ans deslliura’ns del Maligne.» MATEU 6:13 BECUna de les benediccions de la pregària és que podem demanar la protecció individualitzada de Déu. Això és un privilegi que tenim els fills de Déu.Aquesta petició de protecció té dues cares.D'una banda, podem demanar a Déu que no entrem en la temptació. Tots vivim envoltats de maldat. La Bíblia presenta clarament que aquest món que Ell va crear perfecte està maleït pel pecat. Hi ha qui ràpidament dona la culpa a Satanàs, o Adam i Eva, però c...

Reflexos de la seva glòria141 -Jeremies-Un nou atuellIsaïes i Jeremies comparteixen la il·lustració d'un atuell de fang per ensenyar una lliçó.Isaïes 30:14-15 (BEC) «S’esberlarà com una gerra del terrisser quan es trenca, tan despietadament esmicolada que, entre els seus trossos, no se’n troba cap amb què es pugui prendre foc de la llar o treure aigua de la cisterna.»Isaïes compara Israel amb un atuell de fang que es trencaria.

Reflexos de la seva glòriaHebreus- 149 El regal de la salvacióEl llibre d'Hebreus presenta la importància de la salvació, el regal de Déu a la humanitat. Potser et preguntes: salvació? De què? Per què? Per a què?Des del principi, Déu ha presentat la necessitat que l'ésser humà té d'un Salvador. Tot i que Déu va crear un món perfecte per a gent perfecta, Déu va donar a l'ésser humà llibertat de pensament i elecció. I com és sabut, tot grau de llibertat ve sempre acompanyat de responsabilitat. Quan Adam –i darrere seu, cada ésser humà– va triar rebutjar el camí de Déu per seguir el seu p...

Reflexos de la seva glòriaRomans- 082 El regal de DéuPodries explicar la diferència entre un premi i un regal? Podríem dir que un premi és una cosa que guanyes a causa dels teus talents o esforços, un mèrit pel qual tu has treballat i diguem que mereixes. El diccionari ofereix diversos termes relacionats, entre ells una “paga” o “remuneració” “recompensa” “compensació.” Un premi és una compensació pel que ets o has fet; una paga és una remuneració sobre la base d'un acord o una tasca acomplertaEl regal, a l'altre extrem, és una cosa per la qual tu no has treballat. No està vinculat al teu esforç ni a les teves c...
