EU => Good
angelion => New
What are the elements of this good news:
- Hi
-
Forgiveness - Love (*)
-
Jesus - The Resurrection, victory sin and death
- Faith (*)
- Hope (*) of eternal life
I Thessalonians-1 / v 5-6: "For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also with power with the Holy Spirit and full certainty. You know, in fact, that, because of you, we were among you. You became imitators of me and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. "
Romans 1 / v 2-4 :" This gospel, God had promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures. It concerns his Son, born the seed of David according to the flesh and designated Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. "
No good news without the person of Jesus, fully man and fully God. It's the gift that God gives us.
I. - FAITH
1) I believe that God exists is the creator. That means to me God the Creator?
2) I believe God speaks to me. I think you're on parole.
Indeed, God revealed himself in nature and in people's consciousness.
Hebrews 1 / v 1-4 : "After repeatedly and in various ways spoke to our forefathers through the prophets, God spoke through the Son in those days that are past. He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. This
Son, who is the radiance of his glory and the expression of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word, after having accomplished the purification of sins, he sat at the right hand of the Majesty in places highest,
became as much superior to angels that he has inherited a name quite different from theirs. "
is the summary of the Old and New Testaments.
People who do not stop at points 1 and 2 of the faith (see above), lacking the third dimension of faith
3) I believe that God acts
People who stop the first 2 dimensions of faith often ask (you can pray for me?)
To evangelize must be right with God
There is a difference between Fisheries (state of being separated from God after the sin of Adam) and fishing (sins are sin). Sin is more Jesus, sins are forgiven.
II .- THE SALVATION
1) is accomplished by Jesus Christ on the cross
initial hello = 2) is present: work of the Holy Spirit following the appropriation for oneself of the initial hello. We are torn by good and evil. People look at how we live. We must seize the opportunity to testify or if the delay time is not appropriate.
3) hello end: end of world and life everlasting. There will be more suffering.
Never separate the death and resurrection
The Four Spiritual Laws:
- God exists
- Man separated from God
- We are in a state of sin and the sins are, because we are separated from God.
- Jesus takes away the sins if we confess, so Jesus is the liberator
message to convey:
- You are a sinner
- God loves ⇨ circumstances of life can lead us to speak of God
- Repent ⇨ you recognize your faults, your sins
- Repent ⇨ Turn to God, begins a new life in Christ Jesus.
When the person has converted, we must deal with monitoring. While there's life, must accompany the person.
We must share what we have received. It was on this earth that a person must repent and convert.
Psalm 51: "I have sinned against you alone." This is repentance, but do not stop there.
problems that people can meet:
- anxieties: the future of unemployment, retirement ...
Anxieties may be left to Christ who promises to take our burdens.
- guilt is past: I should have. I acknowledge that I have done wrong (the person can lead to depression)
- ambiguity: Present: not knowing what is good or evil, what is or is not the glory of God.
To evangelize must:
- is known to have cultural capacities. From subjects that the person knows (eg football. Do not engage in a conversation if science knows nothing about)
-
Know God - Know another. Why let them establish a relationship.
Questions and reflections:
- repentance and conversion are they inseparable?
Repentance comes first. We must be firm for dissociate the guilt of sin. Follow the order: one is born again, then help the person grow.
There are people who turn to the Lord, but that does not truly repent. Deepen the word ambiguity: we are still sinners, but we are forgiven. God say, "Help me to act otherwise"
- Before death (anxiety) Christ shook, but he stayed until the end.
- The least amount of personal ambiguities, it sanctification.
- Sin is missing the target
- In His love, God has forgiven the sins out of love. We must honor God in everything.
