MY ENTRY TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE GOLDENCENSER # 27: WITH PRINCIPLE OF SUBJECTION AND OBEDIENCE
Greetings and blessings to all faith brothers and friends. For me it is an honor to participate once again in challenge # 27 of the golden censer
¡For this new challenge, the golden censer has given me a very important verse for all the young women and teenagers who have decided to give our lives in the hands of God!
For this verse is subject directly to obedience Jesus since he knew that it was better to obey rather than sacrifice since subjection is an exclusive act of obedience to God
This significant verse is done by Jesus in one of the most crucial hours of his history because he did it knowing that his time had come for him to pass from this world to the father but I love them so much our Lord until the last day he was with them that even in In his last minutes he did not want to waste it and began to exemplify actions of humility such as washing the feet of his disciples and cleaning them with his towel with which he was girded!
It is truly an honor and a privilege the example that Jesus left us so that we could practice it today as a principle of humility and subjection!
Jesus He not only loved the disciples but through them he was leaving us one of the greatest in history so that today we could cultivate them for the glory of God
Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me. [John 13:20 NIV]
These words of Jesus allow us to take very significant practical applications for our life, specifically in a very important principle in the Christian, such as: subjection and obedience, since subjecting is an established principle for the followers of Jesus and all subjection is centered on Obedience to his word.
It is important that we as Christians understand that all authorities are set by God, as the Bible establishes
Romans 13
13 Submit every person to the higher authorities; because there is no authority but from God, and those that exist, by God have been established.
2 So whoever opposes the authority, to what is established by God resists; and those who resist carry condemnation for themselves.Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
In that sense it is important to say that the subjection as for the earthly authorities is limited because the subjection must first be subject to the word of God but as for the spiritual ministerial authorities we must receive them and submit ourselves in subjection to them and that by God have been established.
It is also important to note that many Christians today call into question some of God's ministries and really reject him and with this we must be very careful with this attitude because you do not know if you are opposing God himself. The Bible tells us that we have the spirit of God and he will give us testimony and wisdom to direct this type of act.
Remember that what is of God remains forever and we are not judges but we are called to subject ourselves to all that God establishes...
Let us remember what is established in the book of Ephesians indicated by the apostle Paul
Ephesians 4: 11-16
11 And he himself constituted some apostles; to others, prophets; to others, evangelists; to others, pastors and teachers,
12 in order to perfect the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ,
13 until we all reach the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, a perfect man, tailored to the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 so that we are no longer fluctuating children, carried by any wind of doctrine, by the ploy of men who, to deceive, use the tricks of error cunningly,
15 but following the truth in love, let us grow in everything in the one who is the head, that is, Christ,
The body, well arranged and linked together by all the mutually helping joints, according to the activity of each member, receives its growth to build itself in love.
(RVR1960)
We are a body organized in Christ and we are called to subject ourselves with obedience to them, because the one who receives the one God sends receives the Christ and the one who receives the Christ must receive the one He sends.
Remember, beloved brother, that subjection is a descending chain and obedience really is a deepening for God.
In these times accepting the word of God is a fruit of obedience and practicing it is a fruit of the spirit subject to obedience.
James 1:22
"But be word makers, and not just listeners, fooling yourself."
| RVR60 |
Just hearing does not guarantee us subjection, but we must become makers of it.
Proverbs 10:17
The way to life is to keep the instruction;
But who rejects reproof goes astray.
Proverbs 10:17 | RVR60 |
As renewed persons of mind and spirit, we must also be attentive to receiving the correction because if we throw it away we err and reject God.
