Bez ticības nav iespējams izpatikt Dievam

Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

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 have to strengthen our spirit

    The Bible states «A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?» (Proverbs 18:14). Satan wants to hit our spirit via hardships, trials and problems. When your spirit is strengthened, you can overcome any kind of weakness, get through all kind of hardships and trials. So how can we strengthen our spirit? God´s word and His promises strengthen our spirit and overcome weakness and sufferings. In order to not give up, we need to learn how to lean on the word of God and His promises – fully and unconditionally. We have to learn God´s faithfulness and realise that God will never forsake us unless we abandon Him ourselves.

    Let’s talk about another quality Jethro possessed: he did not pressure Moses to accept his advice. We can see in the Scripture, which I would like us to look at:«If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace» (Exodus, 18:23).We can see here that Jethro did not demand Moses to accept his advice, but gave him a chance to make a choice himself. The phrase “if you do this thing” means that even if Moses did not listen to Jethro, he would not be upset. So he knew he could not take it personally if Moses chooses a different way.

  • How do we serve God?

    We serve God by serving other people in His Name. To serve God actually means to serve other people in the Name of God or as the representative of God on the earth. It is to do good to others by meeting their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical or material needs as an act of our love for God. Please understand that your love for God will have a reflection your relationship with others. In the same way, your neglect of God reflects on how you relate to your neighbour.
