Love not the world, neither the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. I John 2:15.
According to the Bible dictionary, the definition of love means: Feeling of appreciation for someone, accompanied by her desire to do good. As for the love of God, is more sublime, because God is love itself, your love is the foundation of the Alliance, the foundation of their faith, and reason of the election of his people. Christ is the greatest expression and proof of God's love for humanity, as described by the Evangelist John, in his Gospel; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16. God's love for us is a love without limits, no restrictions, no boundaries with regard to human beings, because the raw material is made by your hands, but when we become children of God, through the sacrifice of crucial Jesus Christ, our love for Him, can never be shared with the world, because we will lose the benefit of salvation.
God will not accept those who want to stay with him, and the world, very accurately describes the Evangelist Matthew, the words spoken by Jesus, No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or if devoted to one and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and mammon. Matthew 6.24. Mammon is an Aramaic word origin, which means riches or money, someone puts on your heart like a god, and may lead to hell. Already some time ago there is a move among evangelical, which I do not want to make judgments whether it is right or wrong, this movement titled "Athletes of Christ", is a movement made up of athletes Christians of various denominations, belonging to sports world of all types such as: Football, swimming, volleyball, basketball, judo, runners, wrestling, tennis and many other sports, social classes and ethnic groups, not only have science, if players pool and decks are parts of that movement. The institution cooperates effectively with the local church and other Christian organizations, promoting the integrations between churches, sports fans and influenced by them, today the organization is headed by former athlete and current assistant coach of the Brazilian national football Jorginho, with vice Silas is president, current professional coach, and executive director is former athlete Paulo Sergio, I repeat, do not want to be judgmental, but say it was the gateway in the evangelical, to also enter other movements, making ripple effect, or dominoes. We heard talk of believers linked to Freemasonry, even evangelical leaders, and we had such sciences, but they were masks, or in the closet, as the saying goes, now began to take off the masks, or out of the closet, also forming a movement with the title of Masons of Christ, with the motto "We are one in the bonds of love." Movement that had its beginning on August 3, 2011, with 60 supporters, all evangelicals gathered at Hotel Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro. Gradually we see the world entering the churches, and for many this is normal. Now amazingly, seems to lie more is pure truth, a new motion with the title "the periguetes of Christ, or periguetes Gospel" young women who wear his clothes depravadamente sexy, showing up private parts of their bodies.
Congressman Jean Wyllys, RJ-PSOL, is elaborating a draft bill regulating the profession of prostitutes on the payroll, then ask, will it appear more of a movement called prostitutes Christ? May the Lord have mercy on the believers who are blindfolded, and these sales are plucked them to see the light. The only conclusion we reached when we see all this happen within our churches, is that the return of Jesus is very close, so we ask, where is the conscience of those people who say they serve God, while their practices are adverse to Gospel of Christ, the Apostle Paul warns us in his epistle to the Corinthians saying: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? II Corinthians 6.14. Nobody is obliged to serve God, we have the free will to choose according to our wishes or intentions, however, if we choose to serve God, we must fulfill the rules, and the first one, is to abandon the world and its lusts, mean; abandon sin, because God loves the sinner but love the sin, Jesus Christ made clear as to who wants to follow him, and so he said: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Matthew 16.24. The waiver is a requirement of the Gospel of Christ, there is no salvation without resigns, we must renounce the old nature, stripping off the old man of yore, the vices, the mistakes lies maltreatment, dressing with postures, as becometh saints, another requirement is the cross, not the cross there is no salvation, we must crucify our fleshly desires, our egos, our reasons, our carnal passions, knowing that the world will hate us, reject us because they did so with Christ, and our lives will no longer be ours as Paul said, I have been crucified with Christ and live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2.20. Jesus did not come to seek a people mixed with the world, with one foot in the church, and another in the world, He comes for a people separate from the world, the Bible tells us to be a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2.14. Believers are alienated with the world forgetting, or ignoring the warning of the Lord Jesus who said: Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then tell them plainly, I never knew you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23. Many are mistaken when they think the loss of salvation, believing that only happens if practicing some sins as adultery, theft, lying, cheating, crimes etc. Lack of worshiping God, and contempt, placing the kingdom of this world in the first place, it also leaves us out of heaven, Jesus made clear; Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added . Matthew 6.33. Do not forget us the great flood, and the destruction of Sodom, Jesus warns us not to fall into the same fate, so he said: And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded: But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. So it will be the day when the Son of man is revealed. Matthew 17, 26-30. Look what happened in the two episodes the same things, the people involved with good things, worthy of life, who are not even sins, but sin was to forget the worship of the Lord, and seek first the Kingdom of God. We also find Jesus speaking very precisely, that if we love our own family more than Him, we can not be His disciples. Luke 14.26. Imagine if we love the things of this world. If we are to inherit eternal life, we can not live for us, since our life belongs to God, and love Him, must take priority in our hearts. Another strange thing is happening in many churches, their leaders authorize members of their churches to enroll in schools of dance, as ballets, and present their dances in worship as a way of worshiping God, unlike Miriam, as Exodus 15:20-21 . Dear pastors, will the gentlemen who are doing so are not bringing worldliness into their churches? Think about it, and respond to Jesus.
Dear dear reader, if you already have made your choice, to serve Christ, let the world of sin, and only follow Christ because He is the only path that leads to God, believe in His word, that He Himself said ; I am the way and the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6. If you have not made your choice, is limping into two thoughts, decide soon by Jesus, for He is wonderful, and able to forgive all your sins and register your name in the Lamb's Book of Life, enjoying the brilliant salvation offered to us, Jesus has already paid the price for me and you, on the cross of Calvary. Call unto Him during the difficult times of his life, as the Psalmist says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46.1. So, do not change right from wrong, be happy with Christ, as Paul said with propriety; For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. I Timothy 2.5. That the Gospel of Christ is our rule, and our compass to get to the right destination, which is heaven. Even so, come Lord Jesus. EROTIDES FRANCISCO DE LIMA.
