\nCome affron\u00adti\u00adamo il nemico?
\nLa meta\u00admor\u00adfo\u00adsi con\u00adsis\u00adte nel diven\u00adta\u00adre semp\u00adre pi\u00f9 simi\u00adle al Pad\u00adre che \u00e8 nei cie\u00adli. Come si com\u00adpor\u00adta Dio con le per\u00adso\u00adne che non lo chie\u00addo\u00adno e che addi\u00adrit\u00adtu\u00adra lo rifi\u00aduta\u00adno? Ges\u00f9 ci d\u00e0 la ris\u00adpos\u00adta: \u00abAgi\u00adte dun\u00adque come veri fig\u00adli del Pad\u00adre vos\u00adtro che \u00e8 nei cie\u00adli. Egli infat\u00adti fa sor\u00adge\u00adre il sole sui cat\u00adti\u00advi e sui buo\u00adni e fa pio\u00adve\u00adre sui giu\u00ads\u00adti e sug\u00adli ingi\u00adu\u00ads\u00adti\u00bb (Matteo 5:45 NLB<\/span>). Dio fa sor\u00adge\u00adre il sole sui suoi nemici e man\u00adda la piog\u00adgia. Egli prov\u00adve\u00adde al loro ben\u00ades\u00adse\u00adre, cos\u00ec come prov\u00adve\u00adde al ben\u00ades\u00adse\u00adre dei suoi segu\u00adaci. Quin\u00addi i cris\u00adtia\u00adni non sono favo\u00adri\u00adti. Una medu\u00adsa non distin\u00adgue se pun\u00adge un cris\u00adtia\u00adno o un ateo. Anche nel caso del\u00adle vitti\u00adme di inci\u00adden\u00adti stra\u00adda\u00adli, il tas\u00adso non \u00e8 infe\u00adrio\u00adre a quello del\u00adle per\u00adso\u00adne che cre\u00addo\u00adno in Ges\u00f9. Il fat\u00adto che Dio bene\u00addi\u00adca gli ing\u00adra\u00adti ha semp\u00adre irri\u00adta\u00adto la gen\u00adte. \u00abPer\u00adch\u00e9 va cos\u00ec bene agli empi?\u00bb, si chie\u00adde Asaph (Sal\u00admo 73:3s; cfr.

Il motivo \u00e8 che Dio non stu\u00addia con chi esse\u00adre gen\u00adti\u00adle e con chi no. Il Pad\u00adre cele\u00ads\u00adte \u00e8 buo\u00adno nella sua natu\u00adra.

La Bibbia par\u00adla di due sta\u00adti, il paradi\u00adso e l\u2019in\u00adfer\u00adno.
