THE CHURCH
THE KINGDOM DE EARTH GOD
 © Carlos Padilla, June 2010
… Because there am here, the Kingdom of God is between you… Lucas 17:21.
That the Spirit Santo is the one who is been and is making the great work raise His Church, from PentecostĂ©s, and he has maintained since then it, in spite of all the attacks and persecutions throughout history, he gives until it to Jesus Christ in His coming, and that has done in addition it and he does through His town is something that we will see with transparency in the construction of the Temple of Jerusalem, called Temple of Zorobabel. History is narrated and mentioned in the Old Testament by several prophets: … He returned the angel who spoke with me, and he woke up to me, like a man who is waked up of his dream. 2Y said to me: What you see? And I responded: I have watched, and there am a candelabrum everything of gold here, with a deposit it raises, and its seven lamps upon the candelabrum, and seven tubes for the lamps that are upon him; 3Y next to him two olive trees, the one to the right of the deposit, and the other to its left. 4ProseguĂ and I spoke, saying to that one angel who spoke with me: What is this, Sir mine? 5Y the angel who spoke with me responded and it said to me: You do not know what is this? And I said: No, Sir mine. 6Entonces responded and it spoke saying to me: This is word of Yahweh to Zorobabel, that says: Not with army, nor with force, but with my Spirit, there is this Yahweh of the armies. 7Who are you, oh great mount? In front of Zorobabel you will be reduced to plain; it will remove the first stone with aclamations from: Grace, grace to her. 8Vino word of Yahweh, saying: 9Las hands of Zorobabel will throw the foundation of this house, and to its they will finish it hands; and you will know that Yahweh of the armies sent to me. 10Porque those that despised the day of the smallness will cheer, and see the plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These seven are the eyes of Yahweh, that cross all the earth. 11HablĂ© more, and I said to him: What mean these two olive trees to the right of the candelabrum and its left? 12HablĂ© still again, and I said to him: What mean the two branches of olive tree that by means of two gold tubes spill of himself oil like gold? 13Y responded saying to me: You do not know what is this? And I said: Sir mine, no. 14Y he said: These both are anointed that are in front of the Gentleman of all the earth. ZacarĂas 4:6.
Again an advance reflection of Getsemani in both olive trees that provide with oil in gold similarity, the oil press, the unction of the Spirit. The Gentleman wakes up the spirit of Zorobabel, governor of Judá and the spirit of the Extreme Priest and the spirit of the town so that they dedicate themselves to the work of the construction of the Temple of the Gentleman, of the House of God, symbol of the Church in our time neon-executor. History narrates the prophetic vision to us on the construction of the Church, our church or congregation in particular. For it the oil, the unction of the Gentleman is essential. In the Text they are to us both anointed. In the transfiguraciĂłn of the Gentleman they appear MoisĂ©s and ElĂas, on the matter of which it is said to us: … The Law and the prophets were until Juan. Since then the Kingdom of God is announced, and all strive to enter him. Lucas 16:16. In the transfiguraciĂłn, the Father was the one who gave the instruction: … This he is my loved Son, in whom I have complacencia; to Him you hear. Mateo 17:5. It is because the Gospel that the Gentleman has taught to our foundation and our average one to us to gain souls for His Kingdom. We can read more in Hageo 1:1. … In the year second of king DarĂo, in the month sixth, the first day of the month, word came from Yahweh by means of Hageo prophet to Zorobabel son of Salatiel, governor of Judá, and to Joshua son of Josadac, extreme priest, saying: 2AsĂ has spoken Yahweh of the armies, saying: This town says: The time has still not arrived, the time of which the house of Yahweh is rebuilt. 3Entonces came word from Yahweh by means of Hageo prophet, saying: 4It is for you time, for you, to live in your adorned with caissons houses, and this house is desert? 5Pues thus is this Yahweh of the armies: You meditate well on your ways. 6Sembráis much, and you gather little; you eat, and you do not satiate yourselves; you drink, and you are not satisfied; you get dressed, and you do not warm up yourselves; and the one that works to wage receives its wage in broken coat.
The countries, the regions, the cities, the families, the people and the churches that do not put the work of God first of all,… you firstly look for the Kingdom of God and its justice, and all these things will be added to you… Mateo 6:33 and looks for their own blessings from God, only will receive what the Gentleman warns in this Text, jewel of the construction, life and intention of the Church. 7AsĂ is this Yahweh of the armies: You meditate on your ways. 8Subid to the mount, and you bring wood, and you rebuild the house; and I will put in her my will, and will be glorified, is this Yahweh. 9Buscáis much, and you find little; and you lock up in house, and will dissipate I it in a blowing. Why? Yahweh of the armies says. Inasmuch as my house is desert, and each of you runs to its own house. 10Por that paused of skies exceeds you it rain, and the Earth stopped its fruits. 11Y I called the drought on this earth, and mounts, the wheat, the wine, the oil, mainly what the Earth produces, on the men and the beasts, and mainly work of hands. 12Y heard Zorobabel son of Salatiel, and Joshua son of Josadac, extreme priest, and all the rest of the town, the voice of Yahweh its God, and the words of Hageo prophet, since its God had sent him Yahweh; and the town in front of Yahweh feared. 13Entonces Hageo, envoy of Yahweh, spoke by mandate from Yahweh to the town, saying: I am with you, says Yahweh. 14Y woke up Yahweh the spirit of Zorobabel son of Salatiel, governor of Judá, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josadac, extreme priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the town; and they came and they worked in the house of Yahweh of the armies, its God, 15en day twenty-four of the month sixth, in the second year of king DarĂo. Hageo 1.
This event of so great relevance as is the construction of the second Temple of Jerusalem, obeys today to an enormous miracle done by the Gentleman and narrated in Esdras 1 when the spirit of Ciro wakes up Mr. Yahweh of the celestial Armies, king of Persia, Iran, that signs a real decree by which it is become ordained that it is sent to the Jews to Jerusalem for the construction of the Temple because says Ciro: Yahweh is the unique true God. This miracle is carried out by the Jews named in Esdras 2:2 headed by Zorobabel; fulfilled, although with attempts to prevent it, by the order reconfirmada by DarĂo, king of Persia in Esdras 5:5 foll before the attempt of opposition of the provinces of around Judea, which is equivalent to the same nations that today also are against. Equally confirmed in NehemĂas 7:7 foll, they are Texts of the essential Word of God to include/understand how God elaborates the construction of Its Church.
Today we see how Jerusalem please does not enjoy the kings or governors who surround to them, but are threatened, but the curse on those anti-semitic, enemy nations of Judá follows effective in the Bible, we see its results, since he is the Gentleman whom it must deal directly with Judá and Israel, and not the world, according to the heart of them. It will be the fulfillment of the pending prophecy, the conversion of the Jews to the MesĂas Jesus Christ, Yahshua when God clears its sins, in the same way that did with us, the other nations, the gentile ones that we have received to the Gentleman like Salvador, because It loved to us before, being we in our sins, as they are in theirs. This remembers the Apostle to us Pablo in Romans 11:25 - 36 so that we are not arrogant.
The history of Zorobabel is, then, the key of faith for the construction of the Church. It helps us to include/understand that it is work of God, not ours, and that we have the privilege and the responsibility to share it with Him. God touches, not only the hearts of current people, but also it touches those of the governors of all the nations, and makes the great miracles of history. We pray then so that in our nations, today, to us they are granted governing that, like Zorobabel and Joshua, they put priority to that the shepherds and all the brothers we pruned to dedicate to raise the Church to us of the Gentleman until the coming of Jesus Christ in the air.Â
In my years of boy-scout, one of my passions was to go of encamped by near mountains, where we practiced scaling, search of the treasure, we furrowed the rivers and Lagos in canoe, and once until we did single survival happening the night. In many occasions we went to a place that already we knew well, near a mountain town, to an enclave that we called the camping bases, next to a river. It was the meeting place, the point of contact and of planning of activities once we had entered ourselves in the nature, river arrives. At night we made a bonfire and all we around sat down to listen to histories that the professor counted and spoke of the adventures that we had lived, and sang songs. The experience could not be better for adolescent young people, was a healthy atmosphere, the professors were good people and we passed it to us in great with our better friendly.
One of the adventures was everything a challenge, and many did not score. It was only called “�. To spend the night in the forest did not only do any grace to him to the majority of lads. We leave from the camping bases and of there we raised by the river where it was left to each separated of another 200mts according to we went upwards of the meander of the river that it would have between one and three meters in width according to zones, with small cascades and deep lagoons where to plunge itself. Once you only remained in the zone, where there was smaller hunting, some than another fox, rabbits, eagles and hawks, the thing was put interesting for boys of 12 and 13 years. All one ventures in those times. There was movable telephone, nor no GPS. If you always had a problem you could return to the camping bases. I invite the leaders of the churches to make this type of adventures with its groups of adolescents.
That one unforgettable experience me remembered days ago the Gentleman now that I write on the Church, column and bastion of the truth, since in her there is a symbolic history that to many Christians will help to see its local church them as a camping bases to which always they must go as place of encounter and planning for the adventure of the Great Commission that to us the good Teacher entrusted Jesus Christ. Besides using his talents and gifts of the Gentleman for the major of the aims - to serve the Gentleman - it is in the experience “only� in which they will learn to obtain the oil for the lamps of his souls, like those five prudent virgins who entered the weddings of the Lamb, in Mateo 25. I recommend to them to make retirements of oration, as it showed the Gentleman to us in the orchard of Getsemani, the orchard of the olive trees. It was in Getsemani, the camping there bases of our Mr. Jesus Christ on Jerusalem, in front of the Temple, where it drank the glass of our sin, where it sweated the drops of blood, where it visited an angel to him to fortify to him, one that takes the orations of the Church so that the Gentleman saw the future of His work, where he met with the disciples to instruct to them for the Great Commission, and also where he was betrayed. The church, our camping bases, the orchard of the Olive trees, Getsemani. Of the arameo “oil press�.
Of course, that like those students and those professors, the Christians and the old ones, the shepherd and the church, also will enjoy in their camping bases spiritual, its church, its houses and their meetings, to learn and to live together sharing all the activities and ministries that they will always change for the lives from which they receive to Jesus like his rescuer, by means of the preaching of the Gospel. The potable river that took that one crystalline water and that served from guide the camping bases, the guide of the Spirit remembers Santo who will always take to us of the presence of God in oration, like alive water rivers in our soul, and to the congregation to share the Christian life. In the light of the fire of the Spirit, a deep preaching will mold the soul, the mind and the heart of the Christians, who will sing the praises in the presence of the Gentleman. Comforted preparations and, knowing that we have a camping base, companions of adventure and professors that, like the good shepherd, they love the flock, the Christians can participate in good works, of heart and in the name of Jesus Christ.
Like for the construction of a good project of encamped and adventures, a vision clear is necessary and the love of God by the Church and all congregations and the wisdom of God to include/understand that universally they are a project of Jesus Christ, who the Father has put into the hands of shepherds and prophets inspired by the Spirit Santo, whom he gives each, according to the time, the culture and the country, a project of church for the blessing of the souls. We generally see the division of the Christianity in so many denominations as a weakness, but it would not be of more seeing it like an advantage and one more a test of the love of God by His town, adapting the forms to the different communities. All we know that the traditionalistic ones, the ritualistas and the conservatives would enter a pentecostal and emotional church, neither the congregacionalistas accept the episcopal nor presbiteriano system. But the Gentleman pronounces itself in all that one congregation where, leaving back the government and expression forms, the doctrine is the healthy doctrine of the New Testament taught by the Teacher, and is not so difficult to go in the Way of the Gentleman if he is wanted, as He himself teaches in Lucas 11:9 to us… and I say to you: You ask, and one will occur you; you look for, and you will find; you call, and it will be abrirá to you… God us makes cocontributor of Its Kingdom in Its Church.
Â
The Church. The Kingdom of God in the Earth.
… Because our citizenship is in skies… Filipenses 3:20.
The word ekklesia appears for the first time in the Greek Text of the New Testament when Jesus talks about the congregation of His disciples, those that confess to Him as the Son of God by the faith in Their redeeming work in the Cross like MesĂas revived and seated to the right hand of God Father. Mateo 16:18. Its meaning comes from the used word to call to those of outside meeting, congregating themselves or to form assembly. The Church is, then, the temporary Earth congregation of that we will be the citizens of the Kingdom of God, those that we will live in the new creation, Apocalypse 21, called the Kingdom of God. We form the Church those that we have been called, and those that will be called through our preaching of the Gospel, to comprise of the Body of Christ by those who It gave His life. The Church is of God. Jesus Christ died by her. The Spirit Santo the weathervane. … Christ loved the church, and he gave themselves to itself by her, 26para to sanctify it, being it purified in the lavamiento of the water by the word, 27a aim to appear it to itself, a glorious church, that had spot neither wrinkles nor similar thing, but would be santa and without spot. Efesios 5. … Because of such way it loved God the world, that it gave to His unigĂ©nito Son, so that all that in Him creates, is not lost, but it has eternal life. Juan 3:16. The Church seen in parabolas is one of the lessons of the Teacher. The Gentleman compares His Church with His wife, His body, His flock, His house, His kingdom… The Christians we are the citizens of that kingdom, and lived temporarily in the Earth, but our destiny is not east world, but the successor, where we will reign with God by the eternity. … My kingdom is not of this world… Juan 18:36.
In order to comprise of the Kingdom of God it is necessary to again be born from the Spirit Santo, whom he baptizes to us in Jesus Christ doing to us member of the Church through the faith in the plan of God for our salvation. The plan of God is and is fulfilled, as already we know, in the redeeming work of Its Son Jesus Christ in the Cross of the Calvary like Lamb of God that clears the sin of the world. To believe God is the key and Its message is that we created in Its Son Jesus Christ like our Salvador. they 1Juan 5:11 That takes the Father: … I am I walk, and the Truth, and the Life. Nobody comes to the Father but by my… Juan 14:6.
Thinking that the unique way to reconcile to us with God is through plan of salvation of God, for which it gave to His Son Jesus Christ, we recognize that we are sinful and that we do not have own merits to save to us, receiving the salvation of God by His love, not by the Law that we are not able to fulfill. Once we have believed through the faith, the Spirit Santo is in charge to take care of to us, to integrate us in Its Church until the second coming of Jesus Christ to establish new skies and the new earth where the justice of God dwells. Meanwhile, we lived sharing a Christian life between brothers, working so that those that lack receive the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
In order to make our new condition of Christian public who has been born again by the faith, Juan 3:3, and to enter in particular to comprise of the Church and a congregation or local church, the Gentleman taught and entrusted the water baptism to us like symbol of the baptism of the Spirit Santo. Jesus Christ gave to example He himself us to the being baptized by his prime Juan the baptist to fulfill all justice thus. Once we have been baptized, we participated in the blessings to comprise of the family of the Gentleman. Once we are member of the Kingdom of God we celebrated victory of our King, Jesus Christ, participating in Santa Cena, taking the bread and the wine that the Body and the Blood of Jesus symbolize, until It comes from the sky, and thus we will give testimony, not only in the Earth, but in the sky, the presence of Los Angeles, here and now, of which we are children of God, body of Christ, a nation of kings and priests of the Kingdom of God.
Once we are member of the Body of Christ, or Church that It has acquired by price of His own Blood, we are trained spiritually in a personal growth by means of the education of the Spirit Santo of the Word of God to give to Him glory him taking the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to ours around for the salvation of the fellow. We commit ourselves to take care of to give cult to God, because we loved our celestial Father, we come to the Church to praise to him and to prepare us to preach the Gospel to ours around and to invite to attend the Church which has not known God.
Like members of the Church, and our church in particular, we will comprise of a work of aid to the others that are in necessity, spiritual as physical, mental or as much emotional, in the circumstances of its lives, to glorify to God because we loved to Him Him and our fellow. Been thankful because God has trasformado our lives in fullness lives, intention, commitment and spiritual victory by regeneration and Its immense mercy and compassion towards us, also we want that those who become Christ enjoy Their blessings.
Our property to a church in particular has to be cradle in the love of God. It is in our church where we will find that love and where we will enjoy a brotherly relation between the brothers, that are our true friendly, where one feels like part of the family of God, where the disciple of Christ can comprise of the family of the Gentleman, and where we will enjoy to serve with our lives to Jesus Christ, until Its coming.
The trained and mature Christian has a ministry, a mission that to fulfill by all well-known as “the Great Commission� in Mateo 28:19… You go, and you make disciples to all the nations… therefore the Church has gone during two thousand years by everybody preaching the Gospel. The commitment and obedience to fulfill the Great Commission are through Mateo 22:37 - 40, the Great Order, the love of God. The church with that we shared our lives must provide the tools to us of spiritual growth and formation sufficient to be effective for the work. The Christian must pray and look for with the Gentleman his gifts to serve in the church, and once identified implement forming them part of the different ministries that compose the work of the church.
The church of that we comprise must teach the Word of God in healthy doctrine, theologically based on the Bible as unique guide of conduct and life according to the New Testament of Our Mr. Jesus Christ. A theology that is mirror of the taught one by the apostles of the Gentleman, taught by that one first Christianity of the New Testament. It must be governed by old shepherds and who emanate the love of God, brotherly affection and knowledge of God and Its Word. That all the means to their reach have evangelisation projects using. That they worry about the brothers so that they enjoy a familiar relation, friendly and brotherly, so that they grow to his maximum potential, helping them in all the needs of the life, causing that all the members participate in the cult, the praise, Cena of the Gentleman, evangelisation and good works, giving glory to God. That they have projects for the work fellow good, so necessary. That everything becomes for the glory of God. Then the Christian who really wants to comprise of the Church of Christ has found - or rather, the Gentleman has taken to him - a church that is part of the true Church of Jesus Christ. Now the Christian will have to show, by his fruits, his commitment to give his life to Christ and to put his life by the brothers of the Church being taken his cross to gain new souls for the Kingdom of God.
… Because where two or three congregated in my name are, I am I in the middle of them there. Mateo 18:20.
… the hour comes when neither in this mount nor in Jerusalem you adore the Father… … 22Vosotros you adore what you do not know; we adored what we know; because the salvation comes from the Jews. 23Mas the hour comes, and now it is, when the true worshippers will adore to the Father in spirit and truth; because also the Father such worshippers looks for that they adore to him. 24Dios are Spirit; and those that adore to him, in spirit and truth are necessary that they adore. Juan 4:21.
If in his church he does not find the structure Biblical, works to obtain it. If nothing tries will improve, he is patient, it prays and it shares his commitment with the old ones of his church. He has tried if it and it is not possible, he looks for another one in which comprises of the Body of Christ. The structure by which the Christian can get to develop his member Christian life as of the Church of God is argued in the 7 Pillars of the Christian Life and the Church, that we can read next, where he sees clearly that it is the powerful hand of God the one that makes possible, through Jesus Christ, that the Spirit Santo turns our lives into effective lives for the Great Commission, for our own spiritual joy, and floods of the love of God for His glory.
Â
THE 7 PILLARS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND THE CHURCH LIKE KINGDOM DE GOD
The 7 pillars of the project of God for the construction of the structure of the Christian life like Church and Kingdom of God in the Earth, take to the called change of mind repentance to us, to change the heart, our life and mission, and to receive the blessing of God:
1. - Juan 3:16.
Because God loved to us first, being in our sins, when we did not love to him Him, and it loved to us in such a way that it gave His Son, to His unigénito, whom it loved, to the Son in whom It had complacencia, the perfect Son that it loved the Father and he was able and brave, by love, to offer itself voluntarily to die in the Cross descending from His throne of the Sky. There is no major love that this one. This it is the beginning of the work of God.
… Because of such way it loved God the world, that it has given to His unigénito Son, so that all that one that in Him creates, is not lost, has more eternal life. Juan 3:16.
2. - Juan 1:12.
It is by that God sends a messenger to us who preaches the Gospel to us through what we received the gift of the faith. The faith is the gift of God. The Gospel de Juan calls to this gift Obra de God. … Jesus Responded and he said to them: This is the work of God, that you create in that he has sent. Juan 6:29.
… But to that they received to him, to that they create in its name, gave power them of being made children of God. Juan 1:12.
3. - Juan 3:3.
The work of God, since we have read, is the faith, which produces in us a repentance or change of mind doing to us to receive to the Son of God like our rescuer, because this it is the plan of salvation of God for the humanity, is no another one. The faith makes us because be born again so that we pruned to see the Kingdom of God and to enter him. … Jesus Responded and he said to him: Of certain, of certain I say to you, that the one that will not be born again, cannot see the kingdom of God. Juan 3:3.
4. - Marks 12:29.
When being born again, we are a new creature to the spiritual image of Christ who grants to us, through spiritual birth, that we have a full new heart of love of God, which causes that we want voluntarily, and not like imposed order, to fulfill the main and Great Order loving God and the brothers and the fellow.
… Jesus responded to him: The first order of all is: It hears, Israel; the Gentleman our God, the Gentleman one is. 30Y you will love the Gentleman your God yet your heart, and with all your soul, and all your mind and all forces. This it is the main order. 31Y the second is similar: You will love your fellow like same. There is no another order greater than these. Marks 12:29. |
5. - Mateo 28.
The man, by nature, does not bring the love of God in his heart, the love to God and towards the enemies he is against the human nature, but God has demonstrated in Its Son Jesus Christ to us who is the most powerful force to change the heart of the man. This new love that we experimented and that comes from the stop, and that we have identified like the love to God, it causes that we become gospellers because we loved the fellow that does not know God, so that they can save his souls and enjoy the presence of God today and until Its Kingdom comes. This love produces that we pruned to fulfill the Great Commission of Mateo 28 to give him to glory and praise to God.
… And Jesus approached and he spoke saying to them: All power is given to me in the sky and the Earth. 19Por as much, you go, and you do disciples to all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit Santo; 20enseñando to them that they keep all the things that I have commanded to you; and I am I am here with you every day, until the end of the world. Amen. Mateo 28:18. |
6. - they 1Juan 3:16.
The Christian has two spiritual legs with which to walk. One is the preaching of the Gospel, and the other the good works. If works become and the Gospel is not preached, we walked cripples. If we preached the Gospel but we did not help to need which it, how the love of God dwells in us. The Christian life is a total life for the Gloria de God. In order to help us to walk with the two legs in form, nothing better than to double them and to put to us of knees in our privacy with God daily so that in the name of Jesus Christ, like members of our church, the Spirit Santo sends to us to make those works for which we have been designed by God, and giving testimony with them we preach that the one that hears to us it can enter the Kingdom of God, if it receives the work of God in its heart, the faith and the love of God.
… Brother mine, you are not surprised if the world detests to you. 14Nosotros we know that we have happened of death to life, in that we loved the brothers. The one that it does not love his brother, remains in death. 15Todo that one that detests its brother is homicida; and you know that no homicida has permanent eternal life in him. 16En this we have known the love, in which it put his life by us; also we must put our lives by the brothers. 17Pero the one that has goods of this world and sees its brother have necessity, and closes against him its heart, how dwells the love of God in him? 18Hijitos mine, we do not love language nor word, but in fact and in truth. 19Y in this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts in front of him; 20pues if our heart reprimands to us, major that our heart is God, and he knows all the things. they 1Juan 3:16. |
7. - Apocalypse 21.
Our life expectancy, the promise of the Gospel of the salvation, Its coming, to establish and to live eternally in the Kingdom of God. The hope also anticipates in Apocalypse 1:7 to us where it describes to us how the Gentleman will come with clouds, just as ascended, and all eye will see him. This is our loved hope, not only us and our beings, but for our fellow, those that also hear and receive Christ to us are transformed and comes to new paradise of God by the eternity.
… I saw a new sky and a new earth; because the first sky and the first earth happened, and the sea no longer existed more. 2Y I Juan saw santa city, the new Jerusalem, to descend from the sky, of God, prepared like an adorned wife to his husband. 3Y I heard a great voice of the sky that said: There am the tabernacle of God with the men here, and it will dwell with them; and they will be their town, and same God will be with them like its God. all tear of the eyes of them will 4Enjugará God; and no longer there will be death, neither will be the more weeping, nor outcry, nor pain; because the first things happened. Apocalypse 21.
Â
THE 7 CHURCHES OF APOCALYPSE. CHARACTER FOR THE KINGDOM DE GOD
In Apocalypse 2 the narration of the characteristics of the 7 churches of its time begins, but that are a reflection of the character of the church throughout the times of the Gentile ones. It is in them who we will resumidamente learn resumidamente foundations praised by God and warnings to prevail in the Way of the Gentleman.
To the church in we can identify it to Efeso like the city of cult and the temple of Artemisa or Diana, that is symbol of the idolatry to a goddess mother. But in addition, the warning is that it has left the first love, and this one is to Jesus Christ. Both they go of the hand. When one cools off the love to the Gentleman is idolized. It is here where Pablo had problems with Demetrio, manufacturer and salesman of templillos. Efeso was, in addition, a crossroad of trading routes of where the idolatry would be distributed to the rest of the world of those times. Many stopped buying idols by the preaching of Pablo, and Demetrio diminished its benefits complaining to the authorities.
Virtue of the patience in the test of that they are not true apostles, and arduous work by love of the name of the Gentleman. Character of the first church that is adopted of the paganism. Call to the repentance becoming to first works and thus to eat of the tree of the life, which is in the middle of the paradise of God.
To the church in Izmir is identified it by its name with mirra, the bitterness to lodge to false Jews and the synagog of Satan, but the Gentleman requests fidelity until the death to inherit the crown of the life and not to suffer damage of the second death. d.C can be related to the church composed by judaizantes Jews between Christians of the first millenium.
To the church in we identified it to PĂ©rgamo with the parchment, where the use of this name by the library of great importance was originated, only preceded by the one of Alexandria. The Gentleman notices that He has the acute sword of two edges, that all we identified with Its Word, the Bible, who can bless or condemn and that is more powerful than the sword of the world, the human knowledge that was learned there. This knowledge taken to the end causes that the men turn into idolatry and its consequence, as in the case of the images, is the fornication and all married disorder, since when idolizing something is left God, the true spiritual husband of the soul.
It is not that God does not want among others that we have historical knowledge, scientific or philosophical, but is essential that first is the Word of God in our heart. The Gentleman says that if we are faithful he gives the hidden manna, the food of His Word in revelation and to He himself in Santa Cena, until His coming to eat with Him in His Kingdom, and the white piedrecita with our new name.
The church in we see it to Tiatira also related to the cult to the idols, because the greco-romana culture was idolatrous of in case, having each city its particular God, or landlord. It was place of purple commerce symbol of the greatness that was used in real clothes, temples, etc. Despite had works, love, faith and service but they tolerated a prophetess. The Gentleman is the one who escudriña the mind and the heart, He knows what we do not see in each person. If they are or nontrue worshippers of God. But within Tiatira there are many they do not have idolatrous doctrines and they will in the morning receive authority on the nations and the star. Identifiable with the Christians who did not accept the doctrine of the Vatican before the protestant reform.
To the church in Sardis, the capital of Lydia and also related to the purple, does not praise it by the perfection of its works, but it notices to him and it announces that she is dead spiritually. Usually is related it to the church of the aim of the average age. In opposition with the purple clothes, white clothes are offered to him, more appreciated by God in their spiritual meaning. The greatness in humility and salvation in opposition to the purple of the self-centred greatness of the pride. Its name in the book of the life will not be erased to those that won of her, and will be confessed in front of the Father by the Son.
The church in we see it to Philadelphia like the perfect church, the evangelical church that lives for Jesus Christ and the fellow. The name with the brotherly love is identified. It has the virtue to keep the Word from God, reason why there is no idolatry in her, and the name of the Gentleman is raised. Also we see that he is related to which says Jews and they are not it, and the Gentleman speaks symbolically of His love by this church, also tie to the true messianic or Christian Jews, that next to the gentile Christians we formed the town of God. We will be freed of the hour of the test that is to come on the entire world, symbol of the ecstasy of 1Tesalonicenses 4:17. The victorious ones will be column in the Temple of God receiving Their name.
To the church in Laodicea we found which in the terminal time and generally they are “illuminated�, they know all it and they do not look for to serve to God and the Church but its own glory. He is interesting to know that Laodicea was the most advanced center of oftalmia of the time, and famous city by its eye-drop. For that reason the Gentleman advises to him that he buys eye-drop of the Spirit so that sees. The loathsome tepidity by God is reproached to him and by whatever it has the fire of the Spirit of God. The gold fire refining symbolizes that there is to let itself wash the feet, because the gold of our lives needs refinement the dreg of the sin under fire of the Highest one. God loves and disciplines to us for that reason. It is to the door and calls, if some abre the door of its heart to the preaching, the Gentleman will enter and have dinner seating us in the Throne of God.

CONCLUSION
This is our reward, once in the Way of the Salvation by the merits of Christ, to live a life on blessing in which we see the hand of God and the work of the Spirit Santo in the call, the restoration and the salvation of the town of God.
Are You it jeopardize with your church to fulfill the Great Commission? He finds in his church an effective project to obtain it? If it does not like to be in the Earth Church now nor wants to live a Christian life and to share it with Christians, how he will be with them during the eternity. As long as the church to which one goes is a reflection of the one of Christ, the Christian will want to comprise of her, not to be a mere assistant to listen, is this one in a particular house or a building. The local church is like a hospital of urgencies, where the people with the destroyed lives arrive in search of which they cure to them. It did not serve the call don't mention it “arrepentĂosâ€? and they made fun of they heard when it; the preaching and the warning during the abundance, the health, youth, etc. but their lives receive suddenly, like Job, the payment of their acts, the payment of to have deceived thinking that they were right before God in his own mind, rejecting the love of God that it gave to His Son by us. The world does not aid them, but it still collapses them to the society more. The majority of the members of our church came in this situation.
The man must itself turn twice, one from the Earth to the sky and another one of the sky to the Earth. In other words, the man has to become to be saved and soon he must himself turn into servant to bring the salvation to others. The less time (some spend years, others the whole life) they happen in the first situation, the one of the own salvation and formation - for which a good church must have discipulado a specific ministry of and spiritual construction and preparation, besides commitment and forges of the character - the more time will be able to work to gain souls for God, Its glory and the blessing from which they receive the Gospel, fulfilling the Great Commission of Mateo 28 like members of its local church, part of the universal Church.
Our camping bases, like Getsemani, will provide to us with the project, the unction and the comradeship of the brothers, but also of the love of God as much in the middle of Its church as in the praise, as well as at our single moments, where we spilled our soul in the heart of God. … This I write to you, although I have the hope to go soon to verte, 15para that if I take, you know how you must conducirte in the house of God, that is the church of the living God, column and bastion of the truth. 1Timoteo 3:14. … That God has given eternal life us, and that life is in Its Son. The one that has the Son, has the life; the one that does not have the Son of God does not have the life. they 1Juan 5:11 - 12.
We are citizen of the Kingdom of God, worked for the Kingdom of God and hoped the coming of our King Jesus Christ to establish a new creation, the return to the Paradise by the eternity. Meanwhile we live like citizens of the Kingdom, give the glory to our King, around confess the name of Jesus Christ to the world to ours, preaching the Gospel and making disciples and new citizens inviting to them to our churches. That the unction of the oil of Getsemani, and the love of God is spilled in the hearts of all we who we have been loved by God, to bless the heart of the Father. The blessing and La Paz of Jesus Christ reign in our spirit. Amen.

36Entonces, dismissed people, entered Jesus the house; and approaching him its disciples, they said to him: ExplĂcanos the parabola of the ryegrass of the field. 37Respondiendo he, said to them: The one that seeds the good seed is the Son of the Man. 38El field is the world; the good seed is the children of the kingdom, and the ryegrass is the children of the bad one. 39El enemy seeded that it is the devil; the harvest is the aim of the century; and the harvesters are Los Angeles. 40De way that as the ryegrass is taken, and burning fire in the fire, thus will be in the aim of this century. the Son of the Man to his angels will 41Enviará, and will gather of his kingdom to which they serve as slip, and to that they make iniquity, will throw 42y them in the furnace of fire; there it will be I cry and crujir of teeth. 43Entonces the right ones will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

MATEO 18 Making equipment to gain souls for the Kingdom. 15Por as much, if your brother freckle against you, sees and repréndele being you and he single; if it will hear to you, you have gained your brother. 16Mas if it will not hear to you, still takes with you to one or two, so that in mouth of two or three witnesses all word consists. 17Si will not hear them, dilo to the church; and if it will not hear to the church, tenle by gentile and publicano. 18De certain I say to you that everything what you tie in the Earth, will be tied in the sky; and everything what you untie in the Earth, will be untied in the sky. 19Otra time I say to you, that if two of you will be agreed Earth about any thing who will ask, will be done to them by my Father who is in skies. 20Porque where two or three congregated in my name are, I am I in the middle of them there.

1Respondiendo Jesus, it returned to speak to them in parabolas, saying: 2El kingdom of skies is similar to a king who made celebration of weddings to his son; 3y sent to its servants to call to the invited ones to the weddings; but these did not want to come. 4VolviĂł to send other servants, saying: Decid to the invited ones: I have here, there am preparation my food; my fattened bulls and animal have been deads, and everything is arranged; you come to the weddings. 5Mas they, without making case, went, one to their farming, and another one to their businesses; 6y others, taking the servants insulted, them they killed and them. 7A hearing it the king, got angry; and sending its armies, it destroyed to those homicidas, and it burned its city. 8Entonces said to its servants: The weddings to the truth are prepared; but those that were invited were not worthy. 9Id, then, to the exits of the ways, and you call to the weddings to whatever you find. 10Y leaving the servants by the ways, they joined to which found, bad and together good; and the weddings full of were invited. 11Y entered the king to see the invited ones, and saw a man there who was not dressed wedding. 12Y said to him: Friend, how you entered here, without being wedding dress? But he enmudeciĂł. 13Entonces the king said to which served: Atadle of feet and hands, and echadle in the darknesses of outside; there it will be I cry and crujir of teeth. 14Porque many are called, and few selected.
They enter good and bad, the unique requirement is that wedding dresses go. That clothes are the blood of Christ. That we have accepted Its salvation in which, by the faith, flock our sins. The one that is not dressed is thrown outside, to hell.
MATEO the 25 10 virgins, the parabola of the oil whereupon we began.
1Entonces the kingdom of skies will be similar to ten virgins who taking their lamps, left to receive the husband. 2Cinco of them was prudent and five foolish ones. 3Las foolish, taking their lamps, did not take with himself oil; 4mas the prudent ones took oil in their containers, together with their lamps. 5Y taking the husband, shaked one's head all and they fell asleep. 6Y to the midnight heard a outcry: Here the husband comes; you leave to receive to him! 7Entonces all those virgins rose, and fixed their lamps. 8Y the foolish ones said to the prudent ones: Dadnos of your oil; because our lamps go out. 9Mas the prudent ones responded saying: So that we do not need and, you go rather to which sells, and buy for you yourself. 10Pero while they were going to buy, came the husband; and those that were prepared they entered with him the weddings; and the door was closed. 11Después also came the other virgins, saying: Gentleman, gentleman, ábrenos! 12Mas he, responding, said: Of certain I say to you, that I do not know you. 13Velad, then, because you do not know to the day nor the hour in which the Son of the Man has to come.
Have You your oil already? if it does not have, it goes to his redoubt of privacy and prays, blade and it does.

And the Gentleman added to every day to the church those that were to be safe.
MADE 11 Christians for the first time in Antioch, example of the first churches. good 19Ahora, those that had been scattered because of the persecution that was on the occasion of Esteban, happened until Phoenician, Cyprus and Antioch, not speaking to anybody the word, but only to the Jews. 20Pero were among them men of Cyprus and of Cirene, which, when they entered Antioch, also spoke to the Greeks, announcing the gospel of Mr. Jesus. 21Y the hand of the Gentleman was with them, and great number believed and it became the Gentleman. 22Llegó the news of these things to ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent to Bernabé that was until Antioch. 23Este, when it arrived, and saw the grace of God, it rejoiced, and it exhorted to all to that with heart intention they remained faithful to the Gentleman. 24Porque was good man, and plenty of the Spirit Santo and faith. And a great multitude was added the Gentleman. 25Después went Bernabé to Tarso to look for Saulo; and finding to him, it brought to him to Antioch. 26Y was congregated there an entire year with the church, and taught to much people; and to the disciples it was called Christians to them in Antioch for the first time.
DONE 14 Persecution and government. 22confirmando the spirits of the disciples, exhorting to them to that they remained in the faith, and saying to them: It is necessary that through many tribulations we enter the kingdom of God. 23Y constituted old in each church, and having prayed with fastings, they entrusted the Gentleman in whom they had believed. DONE 15 Example of government of the Church … 4Y arrived at Jerusalem, was received by the church and the apostles and the old ones, and referred all the things that God had done with them.
22Entonces seemed well to the apostles and the old ones, with all the church, to choose among them men and to send them to Antioch with Pablo and Bernabé: to Judas that it had by Barsabás nickname, and to main Silas, men between the brothers; 23y to write by conduit of them: The apostles and old and the brothers, to the brothers among the gentile ones that are in Antioch, Syria and Hair shirt, health.
DONE 20 Example for which they govern in the churches. … You know how I have behaved between you all along, from the first day who I entered Asia, 19sirviendo to the Gentleman with all humility, and many tears, and tests that have come to me by the ambushes of the Jews; 20y how nothing that was useful I have avoided of anunciaros and enseñaros, publicly and by the houses, 21testificando to Jews and gentile about the repentance towards God, and of the faith in our Mr. Jesus Christ. 22Ahora, I in spirit have here, bound, go to Jerusalem, without knowing what there she has to me to occur; 23salvo that the Spirit Santo by all the cities gives testimony me, saying that they wait for prisons and tribulations to me. 24Pero of no thing I make case, nor I consider precious my life for same me, provided my race with joy finishes, and the ministry that I received from Mr. Jesus, to give testimony of the gospel of the grace of God. 25Y now, I have here, I know that no of all you, between those who I have happened preaching the kingdom of God, will see plus my face. 26Por as much, I protest to you in today, that I am clean of the blood of all; 27porque I have not avoided anunciaros all the advice of God. 28Por as much, you watch after you, and all the flock in which the Spirit Santo has put to you by bishops, to feed the church on the Gentleman, who he won by his own blood. 29Porque I know that after my game wolves will enter in the middle of you predatory, that will not pardon the flock. 30Y of you yourself men will rise who speak perverse things to drag after himself the disciples. 31Por as much, you guard, acordándoos that by three years, at night and by day, I have not stopped to admonish with tears to each. 32Y now, brothers, I entrust God to you, and to the word of its grace, that he has to be able for sobreedificaros and daros inheritance with all the sanctified. 33Ni silver neither gold nor dressed anybody I have coveted. 34Antes you know that so me has been necessary and to whom are with me, these hands have served to me. 35En all I have taught to you that, thus working, is due to help the needed ones, and to remember the words of Mr. Jesus, who said: More fortunate it is to give than to receive. 36Cuando it had said these things, it was put of knees, and it prayed with all of them. 37Entonces was great weeping of all; and lying down to the neck of Pablo, they kissed to him, 38doliendo themselves in great way by the word that said, would not see plus its face. And they accompanied the boat to him.
1 CORINTIOS 4
20Porque the kingdom of God does not consist of words, but of being able. 1CORINTIOS 12 and 13 the love of God in the Church and the gifts of the Spirit. 27Vosotros, then, you are the body of Christ, and members each in particular. 28Y to put God in the church, firstly apostles, soon prophets, the third teachers, soon those that make miracles, later those that heal, those that help, those that they administer, those that have gift of languages. 29They are all apostles? they are all prophets? all teachers? they make all miracles? 30They have all gifts of health? speak all languages? they interpret all? 31Procurad, then, the best gifts. But I show a even more excellent way to you. 1Si I would speak human and angelical languages, and I do not have love, I come to be like metal that resonates, or cymbal that retiñe. 2Y if it had prophecy, and it understood all the mysteries and all science, and if it had all the faith, in such a way that it transferred mounts, and I do not have love, nothing I am. 3Y if it distributed all goods to give to eat the poor men, and if it gave my body to be burned, and I do not have love, don't mention it serves to me. 4El love is undergone, is benign; the love does not have envy, the love is not boasting, not envanece; 5no makes nothing illegal, does not look for his, is not irritated, does not keep resentment; 6no is enjoyed the injustice, but it is enjoyed the truth. it undergoes 7Todo it, creates all it, waits for all it, supports all it. 8El love never stops being; but the prophecies will finish, and stop the languages, and science will finish… … 13Y now remains the faith, the hope and love, these three; but the major of them is the love.
GĂ?LATAS 5
18Pero if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Y manifest is the works of the meat, that are: adultery, fornication, rubbish, leachate, 20idolatrĂa, witchcraft, enemistades, lawsuits, jealousy, wraths, fights, dissensions, heresies, 21envidias, homicides, drunkennesses, orgĂas, and similar things to these; about which I admonish to you, like already I have said it to you before, that those that practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22Mas the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, benignancy, kindness, faith, 23mansedumbre, templanza; against such things there is no law. 24Pero those that are of Christ have crucified the meat with their passions and desires.
You Can arrive at all this applying the study: VIRTUE.
COLOSENSES 1
