Bez ticības nav iespējams izpatikt Dievam

Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

Slava Dievam, par vēl vienu iespēju mācīties no Viņa.

Šodien es gribētu parunāt ar jums, par ļoti svarīgu tēmu, konkrētāk, par ticību. Katrs no mums ar savu dzīvi vēlās izpatikt Dievam. Bībele saka, ka bez ticības nav iespējams izpatikt Dievam.

Ticība, bet tieši bibliskā ticība — tā ir sadarbība ar Dievu. Dievs nedarīs visu tavā vietā. Viņš nedarīs tev to, ko pats nevēlies priekš sevis darīt. Nevajag sēdēt, pasīvi saliekot rokas, cerībā, ka Dievs uzliks maizi uz tava galda.

Pierādījums tam, ka tev ir ticība Dievam, parādās tad, kad tu pildi tās instrukcijas, kuras jau zini. Tieši tajā ir visa jēga lūgšanām un Bībeles lasīšanai, — lai iepazītu Viņa gribu un izprastu Viņa domas, saprastu, ko Dievs vēlas un pielietot to visās savās dzīves situācijās.

Tiklīdz, Dievs atklāj tev Savas vēlēšanās, attiecībā uz jebkuru tavas dzīves sfēru, Viņš gaida no tevis atbilstošu rīcību. Tieši tava rīcība, kura pamatota ar Viņa Vārdu, ir tavas ticības pierādījums. Dieva Vārds saka, ka ticība bez darbiem ir mirusi.

«Līdzīgi kā miesa bez gara ir nedzīva, tāpat arī nedzīva ir ticība bez darbiem.» (Jēkaba vēstule 2:26).

Visā Bībelē mēs redzam, ka ticība vienmēr bijusi saistīta ar ticīgu cilvēku darbību un rīcību. Pēteris teica Jēzum, ka viņš iemetīs tīklus pēc Viņa Vārda:

«Un Sīmanis atbildēja un Viņam sacīja: “Meistar, mēs cauru nakti esam strādājuši un nenieka neesam dabūjuši; bet uz Tavu vārdu es gribu tīklu izmest.» (Lūkas evaņģēlijs 5:5).

Tas kļuva par lūzuma brīdi Pētera darbā un dzīvē.
Vai tu arī vēlies piedzīvot Dievišķu izrāvienu savā dzīvē? Ticība tajā spēlēs atslēgas lomu. Tomēr, ticība tie ir konkrēti darbi, nevis pasīva Dieva brīnuma gaidīšana. Šodien caur savu darbību un rīcību ticībā pierādi Dievam, ka tu tici Viņam.

Atceries, ka ticība — tā ir sadarbība starp cilvēku un Dievu. Dievs dara Savu daļu, bet cilvēks — savu.

Lai Dievs šodien bagātīgi tevi svētī! Uz drīzu tikšanos!

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.

    I can’t forgive him.If that is your excuse, then listen to this: indeed you can’t forgive, but God can do that through you.If I forgive him, he will abuse me or think that I am in support of his his sin.Well, forgiveness from your side is not depended on whether the person is worthy of it or not, neither does it depend on the repentance of your offender nor his changed heart. The only reason why we forgive is because we have been forgiven by God’s grace.
