Cosas que no se mezclan... ​Things that don't mix...

Hay otras cosas que no se pueden mezclar.

Obras y gracia, por ejemplo... ni el sincretismo más sofisticado puede reconciliarlas.

¿Quieres reconciliación con Dios?

Y si es por gracia, ya no es por obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no sería gracia. Y si fuera por obras, ya no sería gracia… Rom 11:6

No es nada que tú hagas; es algo que tú recibes como ya hecho. Cualquiera regla o rito agregado como calificador al enunciado indicativo, "él que en él cree, no es condenado" (Jn 3:18a), es un intento de nulificar el mensaje del evangelio. Hace que tu destino final dependa de tí... nada bueno. Pues, si de tí depende, nunca estarás con Dios.

Cuando por fin captas que Jesús ya pagó todo y agradecidamente abras tu corazón a El, será una experiencia libertadora.

¡El gozo de saber!

Todo perdonado. Morir es ser recibidos "intachables delante de su gloria con gran alegría," (Ju 1:24). Vivir es una vida envuelta en Ro 8:39: nada "nos podrá separar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro."

Cree en Jesús hoy. ¡Quiero verte en el Cielo!

There are other things that can't be mixed.

Works and grace, for example... not even the most sophisticated syncretism can reconcile them.

You want reconciliation with God?

"But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace."  (Romans 11:6)

It's not something you work out, it's something you receive as already worked out. Any rule or rite added as a qualifier to the declarative statement, "He that believes in Him is not condemned" (Jn 3:18a), is an attempt to nullify the Gospel message. It makes your final destiny depend on you... not good.  You see, if it depends on you, you will never be with God.

When you finally get that Jesus paid it all and gratefully open your heart to Him,  it will be a liberating experience.

The joy of knowing!

All forgiven. Dying means to be received "blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,..." (Ju 1:24). Living means a life wrapped in Rom 8:39: nothing "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Believe in Jesus today. I want to see you in Heaven!
