I think it is about time for me to act as my username seems to hint, even if my faith is a boiling sea of contradictions, I am going as bold as to bring out a message.
I believe God did not redeemed us for bacon, or exchanging Saturday for Sunday. I believe God redeemed us to be saints, to walk the Way that it's Truth and Life.
I am not partial to quotes. Pardon me, I am a Spaniard, and I find it a foreign custom to adorn my text with cut out sayings that I can arrange to support my position. If I had to quote from the Bible, I would quote whole sections, chapters or books. Let me choose the third chapter of Titus.
Here the Apostle, like a parent travelling far away, reserves for his last words what is dearest to his heart. Just two words:
Yes, any parent could have said that. But what the Apostle is saying is deeper. He begins by asking us to be ready to do whatever is good.
Whatever is good places no boundaries in the goodness we must be ready to do. And how come, how can this wretched creature ever be ready to do whatever is good?
Because by God's mercy we have been saved.
The Apostle then, right away, places on this mercy, on this Grace, the reason to devote ourselves to do whatever is good. Its His work that we continue, its the seed of Love that flourishes through us, in us, for the salvation of the lost and to the Greater Glory of God.
How cannot you do whatever is good, when that's God's Will for you. How aren't you able to do whatever is good, when the Spirit that saves dwells in you? How aren't you able to worship in spirit and truth, the one that sacrificed it all to be able to kiss your soul?
Isn't it about time to do whatever is good? Pray humbly and it will bestowed on you. Godspeed.
