Ustedes no han pasado por ninguna prueba que no sea humanamente soportable. Y pueden ustedes confiar en Dios, que no los dejará sufrir pruebas más duras de lo que pueden soportar. Por el contrario, cuando llegue la prueba, Dios les dará también la manera de salir de ella, para que puedan soportarla. 1 Corintios 10:13 (DHH) Una de las razones más comunes por las que las personas se alejan de Dios es el fracaso personal. Se les enseña que los cristianos tienen una ventaja y es que Jesús vive dentro de ellos, pero aún luchan con la tentación. A veces no cumplen con el estándar que se han fijado y se confunden. Se preguntan: “Si el cristianismo es tan maravilloso, entonces ¿por qué sigo teniendo …
If Christianity Is So Great Why Do I Struggle?
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) One of the most common reasons that people distance themselves from God is personal failure. They are taught that Christians have an advantage because Jesus lives inside them, but they still struggle with temptation. At times they fail to meet the standard they’ve set for themselves and they’re confused. They ask themselves, “If Christianity is so great, why do I still struggle?” Even with a new nature, we have to control desires. Knowing that you have …
Quítese y póngase
Y se han revestido de la nueva naturaleza: la del nuevo hombre, que se va renovando a imagen de Dios, su Creador, para llegar a conocerlo plenamente. Colosenes 3:10 (DHH) Aunque somos hijos de Dios, no siempre actuamos así. Pablo explica la importancia de eliminar las viejas costumbres en nuestra vida. Él nos instruye a que matemos (eliminemos, privemos de poder) el deseo maligno que lo acecha… porque usted ha sido despojado del viejo yo (no regenerado) con sus prácticas malignas. Y se han revestido con el nuevo [yo espiritual] (En Colosenses 3:5,9-10). Palabras como “quitarse” y “ponerse” muestran el esfuerzo que se requiere de nuestra parte. Pablo no nos deja colgados. Nos dice exactamente qué ponernos: Revestíos de tierna compasión, bondad, humildad, mansedumbre y …
Strip It Off And Put It On
And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it. Colossians 3:10 (AMPC) Even though we are children of God, we don’t always act like it. Paul explains the importance of doing away with old ways of living. He instructs us to kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in you…for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices. And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self, (In Colossians 3:5,9-10, AMPC). Words like “strip off” and “clothe” show that effort required on our part. Paul doesn’t leave us hanging. He …
I Have The Nature Of God?
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven…. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 (NLT) Every species has a characteristic nature—a pig is and always will be a pig, for example. Humans also receive a common nature when they are born. Because we live in a fallen, sinful world, we all start out with a fallen nature. No amount of good behaviour can change that nature, just as no amount of training can change a pig into a new species. You could dress a pig with a little bow on its head, …
