(Proverbs 11:30) (Daniel 12: 2,3) - THE REWARD THAT THE GOSPELS WILL RECEIVE.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who gains souls is wise. (Proverbs 11:30)
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall rise, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those who teach justice to many, as the stars always and forever.
(Daniel 12: 2,3)
Dear brothers in Christ, it is with great joy that we are studying the word of God together with you in the presence of the CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH in the presence of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and in the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT.
THE SON OF MAN came to seek and to save that which was lost.
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:11)
When someone loses something very valuable, he has a feeling of perch, too big. And the desire to recover what has been lost is very great. It requires an attitude that is sometimes drastic, radical, with a lot of firmness and determination to try to recover what has been lost. It is not always possible to recover the whole.
But sometimes it recovers in parts. And this part, when it is recovered, brings satisfaction to those who have recovered what they have lost, in whole or in part, but in addition to bringing satisfaction to what they have recovered, it is sometimes necessary to recover especially when it comes to lives.
We recently had a tragic experience with an Argentine submarine, where a tragedy caused this submarine to stop at the bottom of the sea, with a crew of 44 people.
There was a great effort in recovering the submarine, it was necessary the union of several countries, with sophisticated technologies. They found the submarine, but they could not recover the life of the 44 crew. This case, there was a total loss, and the feeling of the Argentineans, undoubtedly is very traumatizing, and suffering. To know that nothing more can be done for those 44 crew.
We use this story to exemplify the tragedy of the human race. We were created in the image of God, created by God Himself, a perfect creation, but the tragedy of sin made the human race totally lost.
God did not agree with this great perch, he mobilized himself in the HOLY TRINITY to recover the human being. And when God put his PLAN into practice, there was a very great effort of the CREATOR, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT, to mobilize to recover the human race.
JESUS CHRIST gave his life to recover the human being. THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST IS ENOUGH TO SAVE THE HUMAN RACE. However, it is necessary to have someone who teaches people the way back to God. God has always used the prophets to bring the people back. However, there was recovery in part of the human race.
But God is still not satisfied with the number of souls that have already been recovered. God expects to recover much more. And for this GOD continues to raise men and women who are willing to work in this cause for the sake of human recovery.
Just as God gave revelation to the prophets, he continues to give revelations today to the modern prophets called men and women of God. Who are called to complete the great mission of recovering the human race.
In today's study, we will see how important the work of men and women who are called to do the work of God, and complete the work that has been initiated by God, and which will soon come to an end. Where GOD will recover many human beings who were lost, but who are now saved, and will still be saved, many.
In this study, we see how important the work of these people is. In the book of Proverbs, chapter 11, verse 30 says, "THE FRUIT OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS A TREE OF LIFE, AND THAT WHICH MAKES SOULS IS WISE."
You see, dear brethren, in order to gain souls it is necessary to be wise, to use intelligence to act in a subtle but effective way. Where the work of transformation of the lost human being, into a human being recovered. It has to be executed very wisely. For the lost human being does not know that he is lost. And he does not know that he is trapped in the clutches of God's enemy. The Lucifer. In order to pass the PLAN OF SALVATION to the lost, it must be very skillful, for this factor of transformation we call the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
To be understood, it is necessary for the man of God to have the help of the HOLY SPIRIT to make this transformation of a lost being into the SON OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER. There is a need to clarify with great competence that there should be a conviction to the point that this person is lost, to believe in the possibility of being restored through the sacrifice of the SON OF GOD.
