"For the to preach of the
Cross is to them that perish the foolishness; but to we are it us that are
saved the power of God" (I Heck. 1:18).
The "to preach" of the
term is not one of the typical words the uses of apostle when being referred to
the proclamation of the Cross. For example, in the Timoteo II 4:2, Paul instructs us "to Preach the Word".
Here the apostle utilizes the Greek, kerusso, that signifies a herald. He
refers to which he announces clearly and hardly the entrance of the King. In
the way that wants, we are to give a clear presentation of the gospel of the salvation.
Interesting in I Corinthian 1:18, Paul
he employs the Logos of the term—the Word. So that then, is the Word of the cross,
that is the power of God to the salvation. It is the objective of apostle to
contrast the Word of the Cross with the word of man. The Cross to the natural man is
mere foolishness—why, is absurd to think that God would take a human form,
would be crucified, and rises again to redeem the humanity! To the natural man
that this is beyond the shed garages kingdom of the reason. Therefore, Paul challenges the world to take a forward step and
to match its wisdom and the knowledge with the wisdom and the knowledge of God.
Citation of Paul
that the world to answer these ancient questions, if they do. From where came
the man? How can it be done he the right with God? ¿What is its purpose in the
life? What is its final destiny? The natural attempt of the man to answer that
these questions aside from God are as the man that is blind, seeking in a dark
space for a black cat that does not exist. The philosophy from the world to the over is
thus:
1. The origins: In the past of
dateless, out of nothing came something, out of which life arose finally of the
marshes of pristine seas. On a period of 5 billion year, this company of cell
called an shed garages in a celled of multi billion complex for to be called
modern man. 2. The justification: If my good
acts weigh more than my bad acts in the scales of the life, God will accept me
in sky when I dwell. 3. The purpose: In a side of the
currency, the epicurean philosophy is, "Eats, the beverage, and is happy
for tomorrow we die". After all, you itself the due to you same to consent
to all that the world has to offer. In the other side of the coin, the stoic
says that you should dedicate it to carnal inhibitions to find the fulfillment
in the life.
The eternal Destiny: The
majority of the men shed garages deny that there is the life beyond the tomb.
In the words of Carl
Sagan, the famous astronomer,
"the Death is the end"!According to the Word of God, in
the principle God created man in Its image (Gene. 1:26 cf. 2:7). John Milton
said: "The greatness and the holiness of the soul of man are testified for
two facts: First, the creation of its soul in the image of the eternal God; and
second, the price that had to be paid the cancellation of its soul".
Today, the man is justified for the grace of God by the faith in the work
finished of Christ, aside from work (read-only. 3:24 Cf. I Heck. 15:1-4). On the
conversion, the main end of man in the life is to glorify to God, with whom he
will spend the eternity in the celestial one (Revolution. 4:11 cf. Cabbage. 1:5).
The world by the human wisdom
never will know to God! Thus, "it pleased to God by the foolishness to
preach to save them that believes" (I Heck. 1:21). The phrase "the foolishness to preach" is
the base of the nothing but foolishness of skeptic—it to them. But the shed
garages to preach of the Cross is to the ones that they are saved a
demonstration of the power of God. It condemned us of our sins and brought us
to the salvation. The power of God was transformed ours lives!CANCELACION UNLIMITED
The to preach of the Cross clearly
teaches us that Christ died for all. The term
"does" in this passage has the sense that God "desires"
that all men are saved. If The it did it, then each man would be saved. Here
again we have the sovereignty of God and to cross human of responsibility the
one to the other. God, in His sovereignty, prison sentence to man by His Word,
but The shed garages never violates man does. The man is a head to believe the
good news that Christ died for his sins.Paul
adds, "For there is a God, and a mediator between God and men, the man Jesus". A mediator is one that himself for
between two parties, he represents technically both sides. Why better
representative they would be able to have the Divinity and the man that the
person of Christ? The it is agreed perfectly for the
shed garages task in hand, simply because The is God declared in person. Christ is the perfect Redeemer!
When Christ
came in the world the was given a rescue for all. In biblical times, the
"rescue" was the price paid for buying a slave out of slavery. In the
similar fashion, Christ took a step in the market of
slave of the sin to redeem us we support to God. While our salvation is free,
did not come without a cost. The rescue the Father required was blood, the
precious blood of His reckoned Son. According to gospel of Paul, the reach of the cancellation is unlimited. Christ a rescue was given "for" Gr. huper "in
favor of" all. A provision has been caused all, that shed garages is
confirmed in II Corinthian 5:14: "If one dead person for all, then were
all dead persons". I can ask I, there is any reading
these lines who does not believe that all men be dead persons in illegal
entrances and sins when they enter this world? (Eph. 2:1-3). If you agree, then
you should agree also that Christ died for all
because this is the argument of this passage.
According to I Timoteo 2:6,7 that
these things were "to be testified with the time" by the apostolate
of Paul. When he says, "Whereunto
I am ordered a preacher, and an apostle". You see he was given him to Paul to explain the meaning of Calvary.
The he was the first one to reveal that Christ is the mediator between God and
the man, the first one to teach that God was in Christ that reconciles the
world to The Same one, the first one to show that we consider the barracks
blood cancellation of Christ, still the pardon of sins, the first one to do
acquaintance that Christ died for all, the first one for reveal that Christ was
the mollification for The remission of the sins that they are passed (holy
prophetic), by the tolerance of God. A failure to shed garages recognize that
this truth is of anticipate the revelation, that does a great injustice to the
Word of God.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
When the apostle Paul brings us inside view of the glory of the sky,
we will learn that our passage has been bought and has been paid by the blood
of barracks of Christ. The Word of God is
unmistakably clear that "without the mute one of blood is not
remission" (Heb. 9:22).
Them they reckoned, we never should underestimate its value in our
cancellation. There is the ones that they would steal us of this marvelous
truth. The shed garages deny him, the new evangelical one avoids him, but we
that try to defend the faith we give thanks to God for the precious blood of Christ. We implore guilty to preach a gospel of blood! The
Bible is a book of blood; has woven through the pages of the sacred
registration.
In June 6, 1944, Commonly known as the day D, the
tide of World War Two rotated in favor of the Allies. Eisenhower
general had met one of the largest fleets of invasion in the history. While the
political strategies and soldiers played a role in the victory in Normandy
Beach, Our shed garages that fought bravely and they bled and they died for the
cause were essentially the ones that conquered the enemy. We them due to these
men a great debt of gratitude for their heroism. World War Two was earned
because many of our troops paid the last price.
Likewise, in the war of God
against the sin, The has conquered the enemy by the blood of barracks of Christ. When do we consider Christ
is come in the world to redeem the humanity, we are faced immediately with what
appears to be an insurmountable problem. How can it enter only Son engendered
of God the human race without the sin? After all, parents of human that are
sinners only can reproduce sinful offspring. The answer is found in Hebrew
2:14:
"Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, The also The Same one took likewise
the part of the same one; that by the death that The it perhaps destroy that
had the power of the death, that is, the devil".Here it is a classical example as
why is so important to consult the original languages at times, to arrive in
the appropriate sense that the Spirit of God thought initially. Grateful, we do
not need to be Hebrew neither Greek scholars, simply because the work already has
been done for us by the ones that they are talentosos in these languages. God
has not left us without aid! When does it indicate that the
"children are partakers of flesh and blood," the
"partakers" of the term is the shed garages Greek of word, that denotes
"to share in common or to share completely". Thus, the human race
shares something in common—flesh and blood—because has passed the nature of the
sin. But the Spirit of God is careful to do a distinction between the human
race and identification of Christ with the humanity."He also The Same one took
likewise the part of the same one".
The note Christ
is said "to have taken the part" of the same thing. The Greek word
here is metecho, denoting "to share or to take part in, but not
completely". By the miraculous conception and the virgin birth, Christ placed the shed garages of human meat without
inheriting the nature of the sin. Since "the life of the meat is in the
blood," we can assume surely that Its blood was not stained with the sin.
This certainly it cannot be said of us. The life of the meat is in our blood
only in the sense that the blood that runs for veins maintains us alive to sin
another day. The wonder small Peter
calls it "the precious blood of Christ" (I
Caress. 1:19). Is the
antidote for the illness of our sins.
While this is denied for some, we
believe that Christ freed literally Its blood in the
Cross. When the priest in Israel Left the blood in the foot of the altar
tanned, symbolized the foot of the Cross, where the blood of the Lamb does a
drop during the day (Lev. 4:32-34). The blood is an shed garages interesting
paradox: The murderers try to be get rid of it, clean God our sins with
himself. This crimson thread is woven through letters of Paul
that come out with us a tapestry of the cancellation.
