Feliz Julio 4. Oro que Dios los bendiga en este día glorioso, en donde nos recordamos que somos libres in Cristo! Que tengan un día placentero juntos a sus familias y amistades.
Las escrituras dicen: “Mi pueblo fue destruido por falta de conocimiento” (Oseas 4: 6). Pablo declaró en el libro de Efesios que Dios proveyó a Su Cuerpo con las herramientas y recursos para su madurez y “perfección”. Tenemos su palabra. Tenemos Apóstoles, Profetas,Evangelistas, Pastores y Maestros dotados y ungidos para entrenar, guiar y preparar a Su Cuerpo para el ministerio. Dios no quiere que sus hijos ignoren los planes y estrategias del inicuo. El conocimiento y la sabiduría es poder. ¡En todos tus logros, obtén el conocimiento de Dios!
Efesios 4: 14 – para que ya no seamos niños, movidos de un lado a otro, y llevados por doquiera de todo viento de doctrina, con artimañas de hombres, en astucia astuta de tramas engañosas,
God has placed us in His glorious Body. He fashioned you uniquely. You fit in His Body. He created you to be useful and needed. When you realize this and begin to do your part, you will literally cause growth in the Body. The Apostle Paul said that this happens in the context of love. That is why many people don’t want to serve in the local church. They simply don’t love God’s Body. It’s not a priority to them. If you truly love God, you will love His Body, and you will make it a priority to get involved somehow and somewhere. God is pleased when we love those that He loves. Don’t do like so many who say that they don’t have time to get involved. Thank God that Jesus didn’t say that He had no time to go to the cross! As you mature in Christ, serving in the Body will come naturally, and it will be a priority.
Ephesians 4:16 – from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
