Influential gospel

SUMMARY: The gospel contains everything necessary to transform the world with the truth of Jesus Christ. However, the world is mired in its own corruption and is not interested in the message of salvation. Christians must interpret the characteristics of our time in the light of the gospel and get into the fight to cultivate human thought with the uniqueness of Jesus. The church must go beyond building places to lock ourselves in and instead get out and influence others with eternal truths. It is not about adapting the message to the culture of this time, but rather making the Christian worldview a cultural necessity for the world. We need a new era of faith in a secular culture that reinvents itself in short cycles of time. The gospel is eternal and transcends cultures and worldviews. We are called to participate in Christ's redemption.

The gospel contains everything necessary to transform the world with the truth of Jesus Christ. Called to influence culture and society, it seems that the reverse is happening. The world is mired in its own corruption in such a way that it is hardly interested in the message of salvation, largely because it does not know it and when it is made known it is reluctant to understand it. Christians see increasingly sadly an incredible tendency to secularize what we consider sacred. The church must interpret the characteristics of our time in the light of the gospel and get into the fight to cultivate human thought with the uniqueness of Jesus. Yes, it is not easy. But on the other hand, you cannot be a Christian with secular values.

We see, with some pleasure, attempts to create Christian paradigms in education and culture (universities, theological seminaries, art centers) to attract the masses of believers to share our worldview among ourselves. There are churches (at least in my country) that seem more hardware than agencies of the Kingdom that promote eternity. We have built places to lock ourselves in to enjoy the wonders of our faith "in Christian love", but outside the misfortune of sin-tormented souls continues, waiting for a courageous voice to present them the only hope for their insipid lives. Where is the salt of this earth? In the salt flats, of course. Why go to the trouble of leaving the salt flat to give the world a better taste if we live so comfortably enjoying our salt environment? The (mis) so-called Christian culture - in my opinion - is not yet influential enough to penetrate all the activities of the human race that are opposed to the gospel of the Lord of Lords.
