 | Many people will be surprised to discover that the Bible has a
strategy for the redistribution of wealth. It is God's desire that
wealth be used to benefit True Religion Jeans Outlet humanity,
rather than to oppress it. At the very heart of the gospel of Jesus
Christ is a proclamation of good news of deliverance for those who are
oppressed, in bondage, sick or enslaved. True liberty is available
through faith in Jesus. At the beginning of His public ministry (Luke
4:17-21), Jesus declared that he was anointed to heal the broken
hearted, bring deliverance to captives and to give sight to the blind.
This
mission expresses the very heart and nature of the gospel of the
kingdom of God. It is not a gospel that only pertains to life after
death, but it is a proclamation of victory for today. It would be very
misleading, and would be severely frowned upon today if a company were
to make such a bold proclamation, and not deliver upon what they
promise. Depending on the severity of the misrepresentations, and the
extent to which people acted upon those misrepresentations, such a
company may find themselves in an ugly lawsuit. How much more then, can
we expect that since Jesus made True Religion outlet such a statement, through the gospel we will see liberation of captives and those who are oppressed?
Unfortunately,
many people today do not have a clear vision of the practical relevance
of biblical religion to all of life which is its natural result. If
people were to catch a glimpse of the transformational power of biblical
Christianity for all of life and society, we would see social, moral
and economic progress that would transform our current depression into a
widespread social and economic revival. It would open the eyes of the
blind to see the glory and salvation available today through the gospel.
Many
people see the incredible relevance of Christianity's promise of
eternal life, for all men must face the reality of death. There are also
many people who see the relevance of Christianity's miracle working
God, for all people at some time in their life face situations that seem
impossible, and they know that they need a miracle. There are very few,
however, who see the incredible treasure of biblical religion to the
daily lives of all people in every station of life. True religion graces
every station and situation in life and beautifies it with justice,
righteousness, truth and love.
The implications of true religion True Religion Jeans Online are far-reaching. It teaches merchants to use just scales, and teaches
judges to execute judgment according to righteousness. It forbids judges
from taking bribes. Biblical religion teaches the worker to work with
excellence for the glory of God and teaches the boss to serve his
workers as Christ served His disciples. It teaches citizens not to
slander, covet or steal. It teaches love for enemies, forgiveness for
those who have done us wrong, and the moral responsibility to lift the
burden from those who have become weighed down. These are just a few of
the benefits of true religion, which, if practiced, would result in a
biblical redistribution of wealth bringing economic prosperity and
social blessedness.
We can get a glimpse of how this would work
if we were to imagine a decrease in crime as a result of biblical faith.
All of the money which is spent to deal with crime would be
redistributed to people in ways that would greatly decrease the
financial burden that many are laboring under in these times of economic
distress. Researching a statistic describing the cost of crime would
really do us a disservice, because there is no adequate measure of the
economic cost of crime. For example, in Detroit, neighbors burn down
abandoned houses because they often become crack houses. The cost of the
firefighters, insurance, clean up and other related costs are not able
to be tracked. The same is true, for example with the cost of Medicare
and welfare related to crime. They do not track the relationship to
crime of diseases directly related to heroin use other than aids. Much
more common than aids are spinal cysts and hepatitis C. Both of these
are very costly to all citizens because we pay for it through our taxes.
Gunshot wounds are another good example, for if they lead to a
condition such as paralysis, we do not track all of the medical and
disability expenses directly related to such crime. It is not hard,
however, through common sense, to get a picture of how much wealth is
distributed to pay for crime which could be redistributed to better uses
if crime were to be diminished through biblical religion.
A similar redistribution of wealth would take place if Americans were to True Religion Jeans shop become
healthier. Imagine the possibilities if much of the money we spend on
healthcare could be redistributed elsewhere. We may have hope awaken
that we can rescue our nation from a considerable portion of our debt.
Biblical religion actually has an impact on relieving people and nations
of debt. Consider the implications which would result from a decrease
in lawsuits because people walk in integrity, honesty and do not take
advantage of others for personal gain. Such a vision gives us hope for
the future of our posterity. It envisions a way out of many hopeless
predictions for America's future through a revival of the biblical faith
that was so foundational to the rise of our nation. True religion is
transformational to real life, whether social, political, moral or
economic. This indeed is good news for the poor and oppressed.
In
these tough times where people are longing for liberation from very
difficult and challenging economic and social distress, the law and the
gospel map out the road of salvation. The law teaches us how to walk in
righteousness, truth and love. The gospel empowers us to do so. While
many people are groping for a savior from their daily troubles, it is
time that the church makes clear the one true way of salvation through
faith in Jesus Christ. you may be interested in:
