Chapter 4 - Prayer and the retreat

Chapter Four helps us to understand what the dire predicament every single human person is in and why we need someone to rescue us.

“The controlling metaphor of this section is slavery and freedom. Paul paints a black-or- white picture of the human situation: either one lives in service to sin and remains in spiritual bondage, or one lives in obedience to God and enjoys liberation from sin’s captivity. It is a stark either-or: no fence-sitting, no third option.”
– Dr. Scott Hahn, Commentary on Romans

Creemos apasionadamente que la tarea más urgente es la proclamación convincente del evangelio, una que no solo lo comparta de una manera atractiva y concentrada, sino que también ofrezca a las personas una forma de ver la realidad y de dar sentido al mundo, la historia y la vida que es muy diferente de la historia que cuenta nuestra cultura moderna.

Hasta que esto suceda, la fe cristiana a menudo se experimenta como un mero conjunto de reglas y disciplinas, y simplemente ir a la Iglesia no es probable que lleve a una persona a embarcarse en la gran aventura que está siguiendo a Jesús y continuando Su misión de rescatar a este mundo.

Erstellt. Gefangen. Rettung. Antwort. [https://RescueProject.us/german]
Wir glauben leidenschaftlich, dass die dringendste Aufgabe die überzeugende Verkündigung des Evangeliums ist, eine Verkündigung, die es nicht nur auf attraktive – und konzentrierte – Weise verbreitet, sondern den Menschen auch die Möglichkeit bietet, die Realität zu sehen und der Welt einen Sinn zu geben. Geschichte und Leben, die sich stark von der Geschichte unterscheiden, die unsere moderne Kultur erzählt.

Solange dies nicht geschieht, wird der christliche Glaube oft nur als eine Reihe von Regeln und Disziplinen erlebt, und der bloße Besuch der Kirche wird einen Menschen wahrscheinlich nicht dazu verleiten, sich auf das große Abenteuer einzulassen, das darin besteht, Jesus nachzufolgen und seine Mission der Erlösung fortzusetzen diese Welt.

C8- 救赎计划

Our sight needs to be restored; and so we need to reacquire a Biblical worldview

The First Essential Principle

Créé. Saisi. Sauvé. Une Réponse. [https://RescueProject.us/sauvetage]
Nous croyons que la tâche la plus urgente est la proclamation de l'Évangile. Cette annonce doit être faite de manière attrayante, en proposant une manière de voir la réalité et en donnant un sens au monde, à l’histoire et à la vie qui soit différent de ce que la culture moderne nous propose.

Pour le moment, la foi chrétienne est souvent vécue comme une accumulation de règles et de disciplines et le simple fait d'aller à l'Église a peu de chance de pousser quelqu’un à s’engager dans la grande aventure qui consiste à suivre Jésus et à continuer sa mission de salut pour le monde.

El capítulo cuatro nos ayuda a entender por qué la terrible situación en la que se encuentra cada persona humana y por qué necesitamos a alguien que nos rescate.

“La metáfora controladora de esta sección es la esclavitud y la libertad. Pablo pinta una imagen en blanco o negro de la situación humana: o uno vive al servicio del pecado y permanece en esclavitud espiritual, o uno vive en obediencia a Dios y disfruta de la liberación del cautiverio del pecado. Es una dura o ninguna de las dos cosas: sin sentarse en la valla, sin una tercera opción”. – Dr. Scott Hahn, Comentario sobre romanos
