The Pursuit of Happiness::: Famished Ones, Gracious Ones, Authentic Ones

In the Kingdom of God being comes before doing. As we saw in the first three beatitudes, God must break our pride before he bestows his blessing and, in it, we discover our true happiness through the new life of his forgiveness. Once our relationship with God is restored, God gives us a new hunger for his life, and a new disposition to bless those who are still hurting. As we are remade in his likeness, we receive a new vision for life springing from a pure heart that sees God and is transformed into his likeness.

Con Todo ::: De Muerte a Vida

Muchas veces las personas compartimentan las relaciones o comportamientos para hacer frente a los aspectos disfuncionales de nuestras personalidades de vidas. Como resultado, a menudo nos sorprendemos cuando escuchamos de personas en nuestros trabajos o comunidades que actúan de una manera inmoral o impropia. Para vivir todo para Cristo, los creyentes no pueden permitirse la compartimentación de los hábitos o comportamientos pecaminosos. Cristo debe ser Señor de todos y nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa debe ser puesta en muerte. Debido a que Cristo es el Señor sobre nuestras vidas, no hay que no tenga reclamo ni área donde no tenga voz. Para seguir a Jesús correctamente, debemos tomar su palabra de una manera muy personal.

All-In ::: From Death to Life

Often times people compartmentalize relationships or behaviors to cope with dysfunctional aspects of our personalities of lives. As a result, we are often surprised when we hear of people in our jobs or communities acting in an immoral or unbecoming way. In order to live all in for Christ, believers cannot afford compartmentalizing sinful habits or behaviors. Christ must be Lord of all and our sinful nature must be put to death. Because Christ is Lord over our lives there is no are where he has no claim and no area where he has no say. To follow Jesus properly we must take his word in a very personal way.

Con Todo ::: Perspectiva

El principal campo de batalla para crecer en la madurez similar a Cristo no está afuera en el mundo sino dentro de nuestras cabezas en nuestras mentes. En estos versículos, Pablo nos recuerda que todo es importante para nuestra caminata establecer nuestras mentes en aquellas cosas que tienen un impacto eterno y definen quiénes somos como seguidores de Cristo. A menos que permitamos que Dios renueve nuestras mentes por su palabra, nos quedaremos cortos de la vida que tiene para nosotros.

All-In ::: Our Position

The main battle field to grow in Christ-like maturity is not outside in the world but inside our heads in our minds. In these verses, Paul reminds us that it is all important for our walk to set our minds on those things that have eternal impact and define who we are as Christ followers. Unless we allow God to renew our minds by his word we will fall short from the life he has for us.

Con Todo ::: Profundizando

Nuestra caminata en Cristo no puede reducirse al moralismo o al ritualismo de la religiosidad. Como discípulos de Jesús, debemos resistir la embestida legalista que busca conformarnos con las convenciones externas del comportamiento humano y recalibrar constantemente en nuestra dependencia de Cristo para la vida. Para convertirnos en creadores de discípulos, debemos ser menos religiosos y más castigados en Cristo.

All-In ::: Going Deeper

Our walk in Christ cannot be reduced to the moralism or ritualism of religiosity. As disciples of Jesus, we must resist the legalistic onslaught that seeks to conform us to the external conventions of human behavior and constantly recalibrate in our dependence on Christ for life. To grow into disciple-makers we must become less religious and more grounded in Christ.

Con Todo ::: El Camino a la Victoria

Nuestro viaje con Cristo es un proceso de desarrollo en el que crecemos al aceptar la gracia de Dios en la salvación en un estilo de vida que pone en práctica sus enseñanzas (nuestra caminata) y finalmente se enraizan y establece en la vida misma de Jesucristo. Sin embargo, a lo largo de nuestro camino hacia la madurez, hay muchos peligros y voces competitivas que buscarán desviar nuestros pasos de llegar a nuestro destino de mayor fecundidad. En estos versículos, Pablo comparte su receta de madurez: la supremacía y la suficiencia de Jesucristo para toda la vida. En la teología de Pablo, Cristo más nada es igual a todo lo que necesitamos para vivir la plenitud de la vida que Dios tiene para nosotros.

All-In ::: Pathway to Victory

Our journey with Christ is a developmental process in which we grow from accepting God’s grace in salvation into a lifestyle that puts his teachings into practice (our walk) and becomes ultimately rooted and establish in the very life of Jesus Christ. Along our way to maturity, however, there are many dangers and competing voices that will seek to detour our steps from ever reaching our destination of greater fruitfulness. In these verses, Paul shares his recipe for maturity- the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ for all of life. In Paul’s theology Christ plus nothing equals everything we need to live the fullness of life God has for us.
