Speaker 1 (00:02):
If you are waiting for a better life because politicians
say that things are going to get better, because four
years are never enough, because six years are never enough,
and everything is going to be okay, as the song says,
and we think that is preaching the gospel by saying
that phrase. Let's be careful, brother, because many times we
(00:25):
are also taking away the authority of the word. It
is true that all things work together for good for
those who love God. But be careful if we cross
the line of telling the wicked that they will not
have problems on this earth because since you converted, you
convert to Christ, everything is going to be okay. You
(00:55):
know what happened in this famous house on this reality show,
a spiritual revolution that may be questionable on the other hand,
and we do not directly oppose things like that happening.
But there are also many deceptions, and sometimes we think
that the gospel is diluted, and we think that that
is the gospel. Let's be careful, because the gospel does
(01:19):
not consist of everything being okay. The gospel is that
in the world, because of Christ, we are going to
have many things. But what is the most important thing?
Christ came, died, rose again and is at the right
(01:40):
hand of God. That is what guarantees that, no matter
how things go for us on this earth, in Christ,
we will be much better off. But not necessarily here
on earth. Everything will be fine for those who give
their lives to Christ. Everything will be fine for those
who repent of their sins. Everything will be fine for
(02:03):
those who have Christ in their hearts. But what is
it that will be fine their relationship with God. Because
there is nothing more difficult than leaving this world without Christ.
It is of no use to a person everything is
fine in this world and in eternity suffering because they
did not give their life to Christ. And a few
(02:28):
days ago I shared a reflection on things that happen
and we do not even realize it. When a preacher
is making an appeal and he says to a person
or to the people who are there, let me see
your hand, raise your hand, come forward, I want to
pray for you. These are very well known phrases, but
(02:53):
they can be very confusing and dangerous because there are
people who come forward, raise their hand, and are there
when you call them aside. Do you know what you say? No?
I came because they told me they wanted to pray
for me. And I have many problems, and who wouldn't
want someone to pray for me? I wanted them to
pray for me. No, people need to be aware that
(03:14):
they have to repent of their sin, that they are
going to convert to Christ. It's not just that I
raised my hand. It's not just that I came forward.
It's not just that I wept like they wept in
that house, and many wrote that they wept and wept.
It's not just weeping because Judas wept and what happened
(03:36):
to Judas. That is not synonymous with true repentance, Beloved,
Although true repentance involves that, but it is not the essence.
So we must be careful, my beloved, how we use
the Word of God. Above my opinions, above traditions, above experiences,
(04:04):
above everything is the Word of God. M
