Existentialism , Materialism and Humanism
The almost thirty years behind still young, he sought something that could quench the thirst of my soul and had already reached the firm conclusion that what I needed was not available in this world , however appealing and beautiful , for that could provide more pleasure , he knew that was not enough , my soul was seeking that transcended what was visible and natural was not wealth, status , material possessions, my soul cried out for Jesus Christ , although I did not know.until that one day I received an invitation to join a cult, I remember very well the text that was being preached :Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows bore ; and we consider to Him stricken , smitten of God and oprimido.but he was wounded for our transgressions , crushed for our iniquities , the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and with his stripes we sarados.Todos we like sheep have gone astray , each to his own way , but the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us todos.Êle was overwhelmed but did not open his mouth, was led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before her shearers , he opened not his mouth. The impact was
imcomun something never experienced anything that I had done in life, something so strong, so that only the processor and only only when Jesus came into my life, I tellyou brief testimony aims to show , in which too much simple environment , power and anointing of the gospel was presented that sought to satiate his soul with the living water from the throne of god.In that occasion I was not seduced or persuaded by a gospel commercial, mercantile prosperity that promised an eye-popping , which hinted that giving tithes and offerings, and make great challenges, let God's obligation to meet these self-interested bargaining of the Faith, but was taught that tithes and offerings are acts of profound love, voluntary deliberation , thinking more in the continuity of God's work than in our own life.I knew a gospel not influenced by existentialism cheap, it has gradually entered the church underestimating the sin , overestimating this finite life, passing over the pomesse of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.I did hold a gospel which directed the Our vision for the top, where it comes to our rescue , not a humanistic gospel that exalts the creature rather than the Creator, which places the man as a dominant and self sufficient, a gospel that gives us a belief that everything will pass Except the unchangeable word of God.
finally a gospel that takes away the condition of creatures and lead us to victory being children of God! Alleluias !
