Miren con cuánto amor nos ama nuestro Padre que nos llama sus hijos, ¡y eso es lo que somos!
1 Juan 3:1
Constantemente gritamos a los cuatro vientos lo privilegiados y bendecidos que somos por haber sido adoptados como hijos de Dios por medio de Jesucristo; por supuesto es motivo de nuestro gozo, es una victoria que Cristo ganó y nosotros somos parte del botín. Fuimos salvos, escogidos y adoptados en la familia de Dios por gracia y por fe, indudable beneficio que hemos recibido sin mérito alguno, cómo no alegrarnos en ello. Sin embargo, medito en el propósito por el cual Dios ha permitido que suceda; qué es lo que busca con nosotros al hacernos parte de su reino. Es decir, Dios a nosotros no nos necesitó ni nos necesita, a Él no le plació salvarnos porque Él considerara que había algo de nosotros que le atrajera o le hiciera falta; y menos, para que de cierta forma asumamos la actitud de: “aquí estoy, me has salvado, sírveme, súpleme porque soy tuyo, fuiste Tú quien me escogiste”, como si por alguna razón Él necesitara ocuparse con nosotros.
Es nuestro deber comprender que sus propósitos sobrepasan la condición y la necesidad de salvación que teníamos por causa de esa condición en la que nos encontrábamos. Fuimos favorecidos por su benevolencia pero no porque realmente tuviera que hacerlo; no merecíamos que nos mirara con su gracia y su bondad, pero bueno, nos escogió, bendita elección. Ahora, no sólo nos escogió dándonos el privilegio de participar de todas las riquezas que ofrece su reino, también nos escogió para que fuéramos capacitados y entrenados para aquellas profecías en las que Él nos ha involucrado como sus elegidos, no sólo mientras permanezcamos en este mundo, sino para aquellas profecías que nos esperan a partir del momento en que nos encontremos con Jesús en las nubes (ver Tesalonicenses 4:17).
Eres hijo… Eres soldado, porque un hijo de Dios es consciente no sólo de su salvación sino de su responsabilidad como guerrero valiente que sabe que día a día tiene batallas que enfrentar. Un hijo de Dios reconoce que está en territorio del enemigo, porque es satanás quien reina en este mundo; sin embargo, sabe que mientras su espíritu esté alineado a su verdadero reino, al que pertenece, al de Dios, podrá vencer toda batalla que le toque enfrentar y por cada batalla enfrentada ganará coronas que llevará como regalo al Rey de reyes y Señor de señores “Cristo Jesús” cuando llegue el momento de presentarse ante su tribunal.
Oración:
Padre cuan bueno y maravilloso son tus planes. Y aun asi nos escogiste con nuestros defectos y virtudes por tu inmenso amor, y hoy por hoy somos tus hijos; nos salvaste y nos diste vida eterna, ahora el anhelo de tu corazón es que podamos estar en comunión y ser uno contigo, ayúdanos a ganar nuestras batallas y poder llevar coronas de victoria ante tu presencia, en el nombre de Jesús. ¡Amén
You are a child of God
Look with how much love our Father loves us who calls us His children, and that’s who we are!
1 John 3:1
We constantly cry out to the four winds how privileged and blessed we are by having been adopted as children of God through Jesus Christ; of course, it is a reason for our joy, it is a victory that Christ won and we are part of the spoils. We were saved, chosen and adopted into the family of God by grace and faith, an undoubted benefit that we have received without merit, like not rejoicing in it. However, I meditate on the purpose by which God has allowed it to happen; which is what He seeks with us as we become part of His kingdom. That is, God did not need us or still does not need us. He did not plead to save us because He considered that there was something of us that would attract him or make him need; and less, for us to assume in a certain way the attitude of: “Here I am, you have saved me, serve me, supplement because I am yours, you were the one who chose me,” as if for some reason he needed to deal with us.
It is our duty to understand that its purposes exceed the condition and need for salvation we had because of that condition we were in. We were favored by His benevolence but not because He really had to do it. We did not deserve to be looked at us with His grace and goodness, but yet, He chose us, and blessed us. Now, not only did he choose us by giving us the privilege of participating in all the riches that his kingdom offers, he also chose us to be trained and trained for those prophecies in which he has involved us as his elect, not only as long as we remain in this world, But for those prophecies that await us from the moment we meet Jesus in the clouds (see Thessalonians 4:17).
You’re a child… You are a soldier, because a child of God is aware not only of his salvation but of his responsibility as a brave warrior who knows that day by day he has battles to face. A child of God recognizes that he is in the territory of the enemy, because it is satan who reigns in this world; however, he knows that as long as his spirit is aligned to his true kingdom, to which he belongs, to that of God, You can overcome any battle you face, and for each battle you face you will win crowns which will be given as a gift to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords “Christ Jesus” when it comes time to appear before your court.
Prayer:
Father How good and wonderful your plans are. And yet you chose us with our defects and virtues for your immense love, and today we are your children; You saved us and gave us eternal life, now the longing of your heart is that we may be in communion and one with you, help us to win our battles and be able to carry crowns of victory before your presence, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
