\nUna soli\u00adda base

Si trat\u00adta di cono\u00adsce\u00adre ver\u00ada\u00admen\u00adte Ges\u00f9. Ci sfi\u00adda a ripen\u00adsare radi\u00adcal\u00admen\u00adte il nos\u00adtro dis\u00adce\u00adpo\u00adla\u00adto. \u00abCi \u00e8 sta\u00adto det\u00adto che l\u2019u\u00adni\u00adco requi\u00adsi\u00adto \u00e8 una decis\u00adio\u00adne una tan\u00adtum o anche solo un assen\u00adso intel\u00adlet\u00adtua\u00adle a Ges\u00f9. Dopo di che, non dov\u00adre\u00admo pi\u00f9 preoc\u00adcu\u00adp\u00adar\u00adci dei suoi coman\u00adda\u00admen\u00adti, del\u00adle sue nor\u00adme o del\u00adla sua glo\u00adria. Abbia\u00admo il bigli\u00adet\u00adto per il paradi\u00adso e pos\u00adsia\u00admo vive\u00adre qui sul\u00adla ter\u00adra come voglia\u00admo\u00bb (David Platt). Il Dis\u00adcor\u00adso del\u00adla Mon\u00adtagna non si limi\u00adta a segui\u00adre e ad appli\u00adca\u00adre deter\u00admi\u00adna\u00adti model\u00adli di com\u00adpor\u00adta\u00admen\u00adto. Il mess\u00adag\u00adgio del Dis\u00adcor\u00adso del\u00adla Mon\u00adtagna sfi\u00adda a lascia\u00adre che il pro\u00adprio carat\u00adte\u00adre e le pro\u00adprie idee cam\u00adbi\u00adno. Si trat\u00adta di radi\u00adca\u00adre la pro\u00adpria iden\u00adti\u00adt\u00e0 in Ges\u00f9. Ques\u00adto radi\u00adca\u00admen\u00adto si mani\u00adfes\u00adta nella cono\u00adscen\u00adza di Dio. Si trat\u00adta anche di esse\u00adre con\u00ads\u00adape\u00advo\u00adli che la cono\u00adscen\u00adza di Dio \u00e8 un puro dono. Ques\u00adto si chi\u00adama anche gra\u00adzia. Quello che pos\u00adsia\u00admo fare per far\u00adlo \u00e8 cre\u00adde\u00adre in Ges\u00f9 Cris\u00adto, met\u00adte\u00adre la sua volon\u00adt\u00e0 al di sopra del\u00adla nos\u00adt\u00adra e con\u00adfi\u00adda\u00adre che abbia buo\u00adne inten\u00adzio\u00adni nei miei con\u00adfron\u00adti. Obbed\u00adire a Dio ha mol\u00adto a che fare con la fidu\u00adcia. Quan\u00addo ci fidia\u00admo di Dio, le cose ester\u00adne diven\u00adta\u00adno insi\u00adgni\u00adfi\u00adcan\u00adti. All\u00ado\u00adra non impor\u00adta qua\u00adle sia la pro\u00adfes\u00adsio\u00adne, l\u2019o\u00adri\u00adgi\u00adne o il ses\u00adso. La cosa fon\u00adda\u00admen\u00adta\u00adle \u00e8 fidar\u00adsi di Dio. \u00abPer\u00adch\u00e9 quan\u00addo ponia\u00admo la nos\u00adt\u00adra fidu\u00adcia in Cris\u00adto Ges\u00f9, Dio non chie\u00adde se sia\u00admo cir\u00adcon\u00adcisi o incir\u00adcon\u00adcisi. Ci\u00f2 che con\u00adta \u00e8 la fede, che si mani\u00adfes\u00adta nel\u00adl\u2019a\u00admo\u00adre\u00bb (Gala\u00adti 5:6 NLB<\/span>). La fede \u00e8 una fidu\u00adcia in Ges\u00f9 Cris\u00adto, che a sua vol\u00adta si mos\u00adtra nel\u00adl\u2019a\u00admo\u00adre. Ques\u00adto amo\u00adre non \u00e8 pas\u00adsi\u00advo o inat\u00adtivo, \u00e8 sacri\u00adfi\u00adcale e inter\u00ades\u00adsa\u00adto, inter\u00adce\u00adde per i pi\u00f9 poveri. Ques\u00adto amo\u00adre recipro\u00adco \u00e8 il seg\u00adno distin\u00adtivo del\u00adle per\u00adso\u00adne che cammi\u00adnano con Ges\u00f9 (Gio\u00advan\u00adni 13:35). Ques\u00adto non signi\u00adfi\u00adca che non ci sia\u00adno pi\u00f9 momen\u00adti di scor\u00adte\u00adsia. N\u00e9 signi\u00adfi\u00adca che l\u2019a\u00admo\u00adre sia inte\u00adso in ques\u00adto modo da tut\u00adti, soprat\u00adtut\u00adto quan\u00addo l\u2019a\u00admo\u00adre \u00e8 inte\u00adso solo come un s\u00ec ma non anche come un no.
\nLa doman\u00adda da por\u00adsi per ogni indi\u00advi\u00adduo \u00e8 se le moti\u00adva\u00adzio\u00adni su cui pog\u00adgia la pro\u00adpria casa di vita sia\u00adno buo\u00adne fon\u00adda\u00admen\u00adta. Sono pro\u00adfon\u00adda\u00admen\u00adte con\u00advin\u00adto che Ges\u00f9 Cris\u00adto sia un fon\u00adda\u00admen\u00adto che dura nel tem\u00adpo.

Nel gior\u00adno del giudi\u00adzio, l\u2019ope\u00adra di ogni sin\u00adgo\u00adlo indi\u00advi\u00adduo dovr\u00e0 esse\u00adre pro\u00advata nel fuo\u00adco.

Ma se il suo lavoro bru\u00adcia, subir\u00e0 una dolo\u00adro\u00adsa per\u00addi\u00adta.
