Prologue
My friend, you are about to read good news.
The history of humanity, from its beginnings, is
characterized by the creation of gods and religions in the image
and likeness of the weaknesses of man. In all times and latitudes
we find gods of war, gods of revenge, jealous or angry gods who
consume with wind, rain, earthquake or fire unless they are
appeased with the blood of firstborn, virgin maidens, animals or
dishes. of food.
More than 2000 years ago, a young man named Jesus

of Galilee toured the territory of what is now known as the State
of Israel declaring the good news, that God is love, that he
forgives you, that God loves you and that his love is stronger than
death. Jesus showed in his life, words, actions and even in his
death at the hands of the leaders
religious the character of the true God. He put an end to the
image of the god angry with humanity, as well as the sacrificial
rituals and liturgies of religions of men. In less than 100 years,
from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and the rest of Asia Minor,
Europe, Africa and the Orient, thousands were freed from the
wrong image of God, their consciences cleansed and filled with a
love that led them to love even his enemies.
But the veil of greed, the thirst for power, human

insecurities dressed the truth of Jesus in the clothes of the
religion of man reintroducing fear and the god of fear, the god
who will burn most of his creation in the fire of hell. A sectarian
god, with a whip and
7
rod in hand ready to judge and execute judgment every time

we stumble.
The clarity with which Bastián Ángel presents the God

that Jesus came to show will remove veils from your eyes, and
may even fill those eyes with tears. Each page in this book is
going to break down the pillars of your traditions, your concepts
acquired throughout your experiences. Get ready friend and
friend, I repeat, you are about to read good news. And these will
not only make you free, but will fill you with the love of a Father
who created you in your mother's womb not to burn you, not to
lose you in the dimensions of the deepest darkness, but to save
you. In fact, that is his name El Salvador del Mundo.

Chapter 1
THE DISEASE OF GUILT
“My evil deeds overwhelm me because they are too heavy a

burden. Because of my foolishness my sores stink and ooze.
I am overwhelmed, completely despondent, all day I am distressed.
I am burning with fever and there is nothing healthy in my body. I
feel weak, completely undone; my heart groans in anguish.”
Psalm 38:4-8 NIV
sick with guilt
I remember waiting 6 hours in a bus terminal,

watching the pigeons eat the crumbs that people threw on
the ground, I thought, what could I learn from that situation?
So boring! Finally the 6 hours were over, in my heart a battle
was fought so strong of anger and resentment towards God,
because of the guilt I carried. have you
experienced that?, you know:
ÿ Something we did or didn't do in the past.

ÿ Something we are not or continue to do in the
Present.
ÿ Something we know that due to our helplessness or
weakness we will or will not do in the future.
3 more hours of travel to reach the last station of

bus, before returning home. I arrived quite late, it was raining
eleven
very loud and the terminal was empty, there was only one old
man left who was sweeping the place while closing the doors,
everyone was gone. So I walked to the next bus terminal.
I had a lot of luggage where I carried my dirty clothes
and some books seemed to be an example of the weight of guilt.
You know you can deal with it at first, but the bags get heavier
along the way.
When I arrived, there was only one bus left that passed by my house,
it was practically empty, the driver seemed to have drunk
alcohol, the door was broken and would not close, God what
a gloomy scene! Looking out the window, tears fell down my
cheeks, but I tried to absorb them as if I wanted to contain
myself until I was alone and reached my destination.
The time finally came, only 100 meters to get home,

when he came down he was limping on one leg. Oh yeah!
Long story, but I hadn't been able to “make my peace with
God” for a month because I felt that it wouldn't be worth
anything if I would make the same mistake again later or would
need more time to solve it. What was the point of praying in
those conditions? In my anguish I ran (my favorite sport is
athletics), this time to release all the tension, then I feel pain in
the sole of my foot, it was "plantar fasciitis" now not only could
I not train, it hurt! even walk!
When I got home I greeted my parents, but I was so

drowned that I went straight to my room, I dropped my bags as
if getting rid of all my burdens and I fell on my knees crying
before the God of heaven, giving all the weight of my soul to
the Father. heavenly, after several minutes
12
venting all the guilt and anguish, I felt that nothing that exhausted my soul
had value anymore, at that moment I only felt embraced and opened the
Bible, I did not know where but the tears wet these letters.
"The eternal God is your refuge and below are the eternal arms ." -
Deuteronomy 33:27 NASB
Getting up from my knees, I went to eat something, and with the

intending to start the recovery, I checked if there was ice to put on
my foot, then by stepping hard to identify the point of pain as I felt
when walking, at that moment I jump for joy! Yes! It's just what you
think, just minutes ago I had that ailment in the plantar area, but now it
was as if I had never had anything. He didn't feel the slightest bit of pain!
What had happened? Did God heal me? Why didn't he do it

sooner? Did he have to humble himself and be broken to be forgiven?
Didn't he love me before I went to him? Did he hug me the moment I
knelt down? Was he alone on the way home?
The problem was guilt! God was always there, he never

left me alone. Our body reacts to guilt and lack of forgiveness, with
physical illnesses of all kinds. The cases are innumerable, all those
backpacks, all those burdens: Divorce, abuse, losses, financial mistakes,
hate, resentment, greed, compulsive and self-destructive behaviors,
vices. All of that makes you feel like you don't deserve God's love
13
nor validation as a person, burden your back and damage your

bones.
Mariola Bonillo, Health Psychologist. Therapy Expert

Couple and Sexuality. Specialist in couple conflicts and family
intervention shares the following:
“Guilt is a mechanism in which, based on an
act or omission, we carry out a “moral judgment” of
our behavior, including our thoughts and determine that
we have made a mistake and should have a punishment.
In this process, we have a ruthless judge with a tendency
to find us guilty and who tends to impose harsh
punishments. This judge is us and ourselves.”
Run here comes God!

We human beings tend to condemn ourselves, but
Why? Where does this come from? Look at what Paul tells us
about this, at what point did this distortion occur?
"But I fear that in some way, as the serpent deceived Eve with his
cunning, so your minds may be corrupted, from the simplicity
(G5721 ) that is in Christ." - 2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV
A Strong's concordance number system. Encyclopedic

one
Dictionary of the Bible, where a number is assigned to each Greek word

in the New Testament.
14
G572 haplotes: integrity, simplicity, sincerity,

purity, grace, goodness.
Let's see what happened since the Greek word gives us to understand
that the serpent implanted in Eve's mind a different image of the complete Jesus,
who does not vary, who does not change, of that Jesus who bestows blessings
and love, not by merit but by grace, that is, undeserved kindness, gives the idea
that there is no stain of evil in his pure character. And this is the result:
“Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made aprons for themselves.
And they heard the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and
the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God
among the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called to the man, and said
to him, Where art thou? And he answered: I heard you in the garden, and I was
afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.” -
Genesis 3:7-10 NASB
Here we have the results, embarrassment, nudity.

They feel fear and hide, later a strange lit sword is placed that in Hebrew would
be "Enchanted" All this seems to separate man from God, man is now afraid of
God and now flees from Him, he no longer sees him as kind and full of grace but
as one who comes to punish and kill them. They are afraid of Jesus! But the
reality is that God has not changed, what has changed is their perception of God,
what is more, God takes the initiative to look for them and at no time
fifteen
he has stopped loving them, because none of that could separate them
from his love.
“Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or anguish,

or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” - Romans
8:35-39 NASB
The cause of man hiding from God and being afraid of him is his
own guilt caused by the deception of the serpent, the fruit of a science that
induces to see God, dual, that depends on your behavior to treat you, means
that… if I behave well, God loves me and rewards me, but if I behave badly,
then he is ready to punish and condemn me. This is the knowledge of good
and evil.
Notice how this causes us to pass on our own guilt to others and,
finally, we make it fall on God who gave man his mate and who created the
serpent.
“And the man answered: The woman whom you gave me as a companion
gave me from the tree, and I ate. Then the LORD God said to the woman,
What is this you have done? And the woman answered: The serpent
deceived me, and I ate.” - Genesis 3:12-13 NASB
Everything ends up falling on the Lamb, so we will study that these

sacrifices are born because man seeks to burden others with his sense of
guilt and God shows them this in the holocausts as if it were a mirror of his
own heart.
16
"The Lamb that was slain from the beginning of the world." -
Revelation 13:8 SRV-BRG
The serpent the new god
Now it is quite suspicious that the lying serpent said, “you will be
like gods knowing good and evil”, Genesis 3:5
as the translation would literally say, but this is true of the "god of
this world" as Paul calls him in 2
Corinthians 4:4. Now he is "The prince of this world" John 14:30 as
Jesus calls him "impersonates God" as 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says. He
even proclaims himself with authority and how he rules over the nations.
“And the LORD said to Satan: Where have you come from? Then
Satan answered the LORD, and said: To roam (H7751)2 the earth and
walk (H1980) therein”- Job 1:7 NASB
H7751-Shut: Whipping, whipping, hitting with

hatred with the intention of punishing.
Where does Satan come from? It comes from punishing with hatred,
with the intention of punishing, whipping and whipping the earth. Satan is
presenting his system of government, that is, the one that punishes for
sin and then makes us believe that it was God, when in fact it is the
serpent, on the contrary, the creator acts like this:

word of the Old Testament.
17
“He has not dealt with us according to our iniquities, nor has he repaid us
according to our sins.” - Psalms 103:10 KJV
The other expression translated as walk

(H1980- Jalak) and in pictographic Hebrew,
it is the oldest Hebrew (hieroglyphic writing:
they drew, for example, a person or an animal
and those pictograms gave a meaning) in this
case this word shows us: to walk, to be a
messenger, to walk by another and his root a
shepherd with a stick in his
hand.
It means that Satan's system of government, which consists of the

science of good and evil, is the same as the world has as if it were the
Justice of God, it is identical to Eastern philosophies such as Karma or Yin and
Yang: That in good there is always some evil and in evil there is always a taint
of good. Different from what God is.
“This is the message

we have heard from him,
and we announce:
God is light, and there is no
no darkness in it”
1 John 1:5 KJV
18
If you do good deeds you deserve the reward, but

if you make mistakes you deserve punishment. This was the way to
enslave and rule in Egypt: With a whip in one hand and a shepherd's rod
in the other. Note that the snake is also highlighted in the image.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. You will have no other gods before (H6440)
me.” - Exodus 20:2-3 NASB
H6440: front, face, presence, the face.
The word “Panim” in Hebrew translated as before, means to put

a mask on God, to put on the image of another god. It is curious that God
specifies that he is the Lord our God, since evidently there were "others"
who were
19
pretending to be the "LORD GOD". For example, Baal was called "The Lord
God."
This is because, Satan claims his right of lordship over the earth,
since it was granted to him by Adam, now he poses as the God and Lord and
seeks such worship.
Taking him to a height, the devil showed him in an instant all the kingdoms
of the world. And the devil said to him: All this dominion and its glory I will
give you; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.” -
Luke 4:5-6 NASB
So we can understand that the serpent pretends to be

the Lord God in Genesis, however, his knowledge of good and
evil betrays him:
“Then the “LORD God” said: Behold, the man has become as one of us,
knowing good and evil; beware now lest he stretch out his hand and take
also from the tree of life, and eat and live forever.” - Genesis 3:22 NASB
Contrary to this Jesus always invited to go to Him to have eternal

life, He invited to eat of Him freely as they say
these texts:
“This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that whoever eats of it
will not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone
eats this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I also will give for the
life of the world is my flesh.”- John 6:50-51 NASB
twenty
"And you do not want to come to me so that you may have life." - John 5:40 NASB
"...Whoever comes to me I will by no means cast out." -

John 6:37 NASB
God did not expel man

How then is it possible to conceive that it was God threatening them with
the sword, instilling fear in them, and driving them out of Eden? The problem seems
to be solved by reviewing the words in Hebrew, which is the language in which Genesis
was originally written.
“And the LORD God cast him out (H7971) from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground
from which he was taken. He expelled (H1644), then, the man; He placed (H7931) to
the east of the Garden of Eden, cherubim, and a flaming sword (H3858) that
turned in all directions, to guard the path of the tree of life.” - Genesis 3:24 NASB
Next we will analyze the four highlighted words in the previous text:
-He kicked him out (H7971)
-Expelled (H1644)
-Put (H7931)
-On (H3858)
He kicked it out:
H7971 Salach: sent, released, I will send,

to push away, let go, make way.
twenty-one
It is interesting that God leaves Adam and Eve free, makes way
for them to leave, it is natural that this is so, since they are the ones who
want to hide and get away from God, the word in Hebrew is the same that
Moses uses when telling Pharaoh to free his people.
“Then Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh: Thus says the LORD,
the God of Israel: ``Let my people go (H7971) so that they may celebrate
me in the desert.” - Exodus 5:1 NASB
He kicked him out:
The next word is all the more interesting

“Expelled (H1644, Garash)” although in
Hebrew it gives the idea of a divorce, it is
also translated as: to lead from one,
possession”, that is, God accompanied,
or led to Adam and Eve at the door.
Put:
Then some curious beings appear, since the word “put”
has nothing to do with the Hebrew word:
22
Shakan H7931 which literally means;

they will inhabit, inhabit, to settle,
dwelt. It means that the cherubim came
to inhabit that place.
On:
But what kind of cherubim were they? The Hebrew word
H3858 - Lahat for "on" only appears 2 times in the bible.
H3858: Enchantments, ignition, radiance,

magic.
“Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers,
and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with
their enchantments (H3858); for each one cast down his
rod, which became serpents. But Aaron's rod devoured their
rods." - Exodus 7:11 NASB
Interesting! This is a sword associated with

enchantment and Egyptian magic and the serpent is also
involved. Let us also remember that the function of these
cherubim in Eden was to guard or protect the way to the
Tree of Life, just like the guards who were placed at
23
guarding the tomb of the one who is “the resurrection and the life, is also
the way, the truth and the life”.
Let us see who was this cherub who covered and guarded
the way to the Tree.
“In Eden, in the garden of God you were; your clothing

was made of every precious stone; cornerine, topaz, jasper, chrysolite,
beryl, and onyx; of sapphire, carbuncle, emerald and gold; the beauty
of your drums and flutes were prepared for you on the day of your
creation. You, great cherub, protector, I put you on the holy mountain
of God, there you were; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
You were perfect in all your ways from the day you were created,
until iniquity was found in you.” - Ezekiel 28:13-15 KJV
The word protector conveys the same idea of saving,

to cover, to protect, so we can also see that in its original and perfect
state the serpent was already in Eden, and has caused a distortion of
the character of God that led us to move away from the kind and loving
God, for fear of the punishment that our corrupted mind imposes on us,
then it brought with it all the pain, illness and anguish that we carry,
always blaming ourselves.
This is evident, for example, with the first

descendant of Adam, Cain because we see how he lived under the
government of fear and punishment, of salvation by merits and works,
we see that he blames himself and distances himself from God.
“And Cain said to the LORD: My guilt is too great to be

forgiven. Behold, you have thrown me (H1644-Garash, you lead)
today from the face of the earth, and from your presence I will hide, but I will b
24
vagabond and wanderer on earth; and it will come to pass that anyone who
finds me will kill me.” - Genesis 4:13-14 NASB
So today, God leads and guides those who have been damaged by
the virus of hatred and sin, in fact the word "Vagabond" in Hebrew is the same
used for the people of Israel who wandered in the desert and yet , was led by
God, because God tells Cain what his behavior will be, and Cain decides to flee,
get away, hide. Moreover, he adds that he cannot be forgiven and his punishment
is expected to be killed, but God replies: "It will not be like that" and even puts a
mark on Cain so that they do not kill him.
“And Cain went out from before the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod (means
wanderer), east of Eden.” - Genesis 4:16 KJV
How curious that Cain moves away from the presence of God, to
wander far and dwells to the east of Eden, the same place where the cherubim
are. I leave it to your personal study. However, this only shows us how this virus
of guilt infected everyone's behavior towards God, even genetically.

Although God had created beings in his own image and likeness,
Adam now procreated people with a distorted image of God.
“This is the book of the generations of Adam. The day that God created man,
in the likeness of God he made him. Male and female created he them; and the
25
blessed, and called them Adam on the day they were created. When
Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he begat a son in his own
likeness, after his image, and he called his name Seth.” -
Genesis 5:1-3 NASB
However, although we have all been deceived, for "the old

serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, deceives the whole
world" - Revelation 12:9 JBS. There is a way out, for the apostle John
tells us something incredible about God.
“God is love… in love there is no fear, but the perfect

love casts out fear; because fear carries with it punishment,
wherefore he who fears has not been perfected in love.” -
1 John 4:8 and 18 KJV
Your fear and guilt have a remedy and that is forgiveness,

the remedy not only removes the guilt completely, but also heals, rectifies
and frees you from these chains, while destroying the physical
consequences that guilt brought and the self-condemnation that stole
from you. evaluation as a person.
"He is the one who forgives all your iniquities, He who heals all
your diseases" - Psalms 103:3 KJV
“Confess your faults to one another, and pray for one

another, that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the
righteous can do much.” - James 5:16 KJV
26
Can you notice it? God has a very particular form

to heal It is about making you able to receive forgiveness. The
order is interesting, first forgiveness and then you are healed.
Somehow God is so interested in letting people know that they are
forgiven that He looks for the moment when it can alleviate his self-
destructive conscience. Look how Jesus did it:
“And they brought him a paralytic lying on a stretcher; and Jesus,

seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: Cheer up, son, your sins are forgiven...
So that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins (then he said to the paralyzed man): Get up, pick up your
mat and go home.” - Matthew 9:2 and 6 NASB
This man was paralyzed, totally impotent

to go to Jesus or even believe, because the story tells us that it was
thanks to his friends who took him and Jesus "seeing their faith" tells
him: son I know you feel that your whole life brought you to this
condition, you You condemned yourself to believe that this is what you
deserved for your sins, now you are depressed and discouraged by so
much impotence.
But “cheer up” because I want you to know that all those sins
have been forgiven you.
Jesus knew what the soul of that man needed,

He longed to hear that he was forgiven, that was enough to open
the way to the healing power of Jesus, his forgiveness healed not only
his soul but also his body and spirit. In the same way, before moving on
to the next chapter, I want you, my dear friend, who are reading, to
treasure what Jesus is telling you today to heal all those wounds, and
27
make way for a full restoration, even when you have felt helpless
and guilty all your life. Read it as the direct voice of Jesus to your soul.
“Man, your sins are forgiven you.” - Luke 5:20 NASB

“And to her he said: Your sins are forgiven.” - Luke 7:48 NASB
Your name: ”__________ Courage your sins have been forgiven” - -

Episode 2
ALL WERE FORGIVEN
"He is the atonement for our sins, and not only for ours but also
for those of the whole world."
1 John 2:2 KJV 2015
You are worth to God
Would you like to know what God's opinion of you is?

We hear abundant threats and repressions from the religious
leadership about how angry and annoyed God is with the world for its
wrongdoing. But there is a way to know what God's opinion of man is.
Observe the skies, open the windows not only of your house,
but from your heart, breathe that air, look at the blue of the sky
adorned with the sun. Observe how God speaks to the human heart
in the bright and orange dawn, how different sunsets are painted every
afternoon, remember the well-being that "the magic hour" generates just
before twilight, the colors and the dim light that blushes the blushes,
even when no one is watching.
Paul quoted a Psalm when talking about how God preached the gospel.
“But I say: Have you not heard? Rather, His voice has gone out to
all the earth, And His words to the ends of the earth.” -
Romans 10:18 KJV
30
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament announces the
work of his hands. One day he speaks to another day, And one night to
another night he declares wisdom. There is no language, no words, nor is his voice heard.
His voice went out to all the earth, and his words to the ends of the
world. In them he put a tabernacle for the sun ."
Psalms 19:1-4 KJV
God speaks to the human heart in different languages,

many of them silent, but so beautiful, in each star he promises us a
glorious future, and that his power sustains each one, so he loves us and
knows us personally.
“He heals the brokenhearted, And binds up their wounds. He counts

the number of the stars; He calls all the girls by their names." -
Psalms 147:3-4 KJV
“Raise your eyes and look to the heavens: Who has created all this? The one
who orders the multitude of stars one by one, and calls each one by name.
Their power is so great, and their strength so powerful, that not one of them is
lacking!” - Isaiah 40:26 NIV
“Aren't five sparrows sold for two quarters? And yet not one of them is forgotten
before God.” - Luke 12:6 NASB
“And even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you
are worth more than many sparrows.” -

Matthew 10:30-31 NASB
31
Wow, you guys are worth it! do not be afraid, dear friend and
friend, you are worth a lot, a lot! For God you are a treasure, in this
same logic Jesus seeks to remove our anxiety about our present and
eternal life. Many are concerned about whether or not they will be
saved, or whether their future holds financial, health, or emotional
dangers. Do you want to know what God thinks about those questions
and about you?
“And which of you, however anxious he may be, can add an hour to
his life span? If you, then, cannot do something so small, why do you
worry about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow; they
neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his
glory dressed like one of these. And if God thus clothes the grass of
the field, which is today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how
much more will he do for you, men of little faith! - Luke 12:25-28 NASB
Really consider the lilies that grow in swamps and

soils not very graceful. It invites you to leave the fear that you are not
worth it and that later you will be thrown into a fiery furnace. Do you
want to know what God thinks of you? listen to the little birds, in
32
its sweet song speaks to you of a tender God, who thought of you when
he gave his song to the birds, and although not all men perceive them,
he perfumed the flowers with different aromas and gave you a sense of
smell to feel billions of fragrances, did you notice? in the colors? not only
of the flowers, but also of the world, the little birds, the fish and why? the
reason is only an infinite love for you.
Will I be saved?
Are you still worried about whether you will be saved? Do you still
have to strive and work to grow in your spiritual life? Don't you think God can
do that for you and clothe you with a beautiful character even when you
grew up in the nastiest mire?
I ask you another thing, do you depend on yourself and are you insecure
of your salvation? Are you afraid of not making it?
“Fear not, little herd; for it has pleased your Father to give
you the kingdom.” - Luke 12:32 KJV
Do not be afraid, God was pleased to give you the kingdom, in

fact he already did! it is yours, and after giving you the assurance that the
kingdom is a gift for you, that you can live not in your justice but in that of
the kingdom, he tells you.
“Sell your possessions and give alms; Make for yourselves bags
that do not deteriorate, a treasure in heaven that does not run out, where
no thief comes near and no moth destroys.”- Luke 12:33 NASB
33
Good works are not to get to heaven, the kingdom is a gift,

the kingdom of heaven and eternal life is in knowing Christ, good works
ARE HEAVEN.
“Asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God was to

come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God will not come with
warning, nor will they say: Lo here, or lo there; for behold, the kingdom
of God is within you.” - Luke 17:20-21
“And this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” - John 17:3 KJV
“But we know that the Son of God has come, and has given
us understanding to know him who is true; and we are in the true,
in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” - 1
John 5:20 KJV
God knew they would sin
God prepared everything for love, he knew that man was going
to sin, however, when he had ready the water to drink, the sun to
illuminate, the air to breathe, the animals, the flowers, the universe, after
all that:
"Then God said: Let us make man" Genesis 1:26 KJV
By sinning, man gave himself up to tyranny, death, agony,

darkness, despair, disease, madness and slavery forever. Because now
the cruel god ruled with his laborious and terrifying system of government.
The human being would have remained like this forever if God had not
3. 4
intervened to save him, yes, exactly God has saved all mankind with his
grace and forgiveness.
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all

men” - Titus 2:11 NASB
God has given a second chance to every being

human, God through his forgiveness has given human beings
eternal life, because from his fullness of his life we all take grace
upon grace. Whether you consider yourself good or bad, a child of God
or not, God loves everyone unconditionally. The gift of approval and how
He smiles at us through nature. This is how the Lord Jesus wanted to
transmit it.
“But I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you, so that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven; because
he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and rain on the just
and the unjust.” - Matthew 5:44-45 NASB
“Who in past generations allowed all nations to go their own ways; and
yet he did not fail to bear witness to himself, doing good and
giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your
hearts with sustenance and joy.” - Acts 14:16-17 NASB
“Rather, love your enemies, and do good, and lend without

expecting anything in return, and your reward will be great, and you will
be children of the Most High; because He is kind to the ungrateful
and perverse. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” -
Luke 6:35-36 NASB
35
Amazing! we are witnesses of how God speaks of himself

in nature, even when the idolaters followed their own paths, even when
you and I were far away, when we rejected his love and despised him,
it was he who gave you joy, it was he who smiled on you by keeping
you alive, by giving you health to enjoy friends and guided your body
so that your health was not lacking when eating, drinking, He took care
of you every night and continues to do so and will do so forever.
They are all children of God

Just considering it from God's point of view as
Father, there is no partiality based on the behavior of your children,
love everyone and bless each one with your unconditional love without
respect of persons.
"Do you not know that God is no respecter of princes, nor considers
the rich above the poor, since all are the work of his
hands?" - Job 34:19 NASB
Someone may say: but not all are children of God, the arguments
are for example texts in which Jesus classifies the Pharisees as children
of hell or children of his Father the devil, but this is very easy to explain;
Jesus then adds the reason, and it is that they wanted to carry out the
wishes of the evil one, that is, to kill Jesus because he was a murderer,
or when Jesus tells them that if they were children of Abraham they would
do the works of Abraham, in the same way we live representing being
children of God by being merciful,
36
kind to everyone, but this does not mean that the whole world is a child
of God.
"One God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in all." -
Ephesians 4:6 NASB
“Don't we all have the same father? Has not the same God created
us? - Malachi 2:10 NASB
“But now, O LORD, you are our Father, we are the clay, and you are
our potter; work of your hands are all of us.” -
Isaiah 64:8 NASB
Many also conclude that God cannot love

everyone, because many are rebels and enemies of God, who
are sinners, then they cannot be loved and forgiven by God unless they
turn to God in repentance, and become Righteous. But this is shamefully
squashed, under the greatest love argument the world has ever seen.
“For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Because there will hardly be anyone who dies for a just man, although
perhaps someone will dare to die for the good one. But God
demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by his
blood, shall we be saved from wrath, through him.
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death
of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved
by his life. And not only this, but also
37
we glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we

have now received reconciliation.” - Romans 5:6-11 NASB
All forgiven of everything

Colossal! verbs of forgiveness of reconciliation are
in the past tense, just think about it, we did not exist and God had
already reconciled you with Him, He always took the initiative, He
always wanted to make peace, the enemies were us, just think about
it, you were not even born when God had already reconciled you with
himself, we were weak, sinners, enemies and dead, then God saved
us!
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with
which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and with him raised us up, and with He seated us in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus” - Ephesians 2:4-6 NASB
"And He gave life to you who were dead in trespasses and sins" -
Ephesians 2:1 NASB
"And when you were dead in your transgressions and in the

uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with
Him, having forgiven us all our sins" -
Colossians 2:13 NASB
How many sins has God forgiven us? EVERYONE!,

When did he forgive us, long before you and I would even exist,
it is something very deep that we will study in the next chapters, but
think about it, you were in Christ dying,
38
rising, and being seated in heavenly places. all of this in the past tense,
the verbs are written in the past tense, in Greek this verb tense is called
Aorist, they are events already concretized in the past, and how many
were included in this forgiveness already given?
“For the love of Christ constrains us, having come to this

conclusion: that one died for all, therefore all died; and he died for all, so
that those who live may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died
and rose for them.” - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NASB
The savior of the world
You looked at the detail, all for whom he died, now they live, that
is, God's forgiveness is not something provisional, it is something powerful
and effective already, in all humanity. We all live thanks to his forgiveness
and love of which the cross is only one
sample.
"Because the bread of God is the one that comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." -
John 6:33 NASB
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats this
bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I will also give for the life
of the world is my flesh.” - John 6:51 NASB
That is to say, not only would he give bread so that whoever

believes could enjoy eternal life and immortality, but also fulfills the
function of giving life to the world, in other words, there are many ways in
which Christ is the savior of the world. and this is one of them, since it was
known that the
39
The messiah's mission was to save the world, hence the title "The Christ."
"And they said to the woman: Now we believe, not only because of what you
said, but because we ourselves have heard it, and we know that truly this is the
Christ, the Savior of the world." - John 4:42 KJV
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ
the Lord.” - Luke 2:11 NASB
"The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him, and he said: Behold the Lamb
of God who takes away the sin of the world." - John 1:29 NASB
“And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the
Son to be the Savior of the world”- 1 John 4:14 NASB
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that
the world might be saved through him .” - John 3:17 KJV
“If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; because
I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.” - John 12:47 NASB
Some will ask, but how is it possible that God can save the world if
everyone has sinned? The point is that precisely salvation in Greek uses the word
soso, it means: restoration, liberation, healing, making complete and removing
loads, at this point we have already talked about how Adam put loads of guilt on
the shoulders of humanity, the serpent has responsible for continuing to make
humanity sick so that it moves away from God. But God saves
40
precisely from sin, both the guilt, as well as the slavery and the consequences.
“And she will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save
his people from their sins.” - Matthew 1:21 KJV
His very name means salvation, and although all have sinned, all are
also forgiven and saved from that burden of guilt, but do not take my word for it,
Paul in the same text that says that all have sinned explains the following.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but are justified
freely by his grace through the redemption of Christ Jesus” - Romans
3:23-24 NASB
Although the context tells us about receiving and believing, a topic that
we will talk about in this book, it makes it clear to us that the very ones who
sinned were freely justified, now, as we talked about in the first chapter, sin is
related to a distortion of the glory of God that is his character, as when Moses
asked God to see his glory and God himself described his character.
God visited the world
Then Moses said: I beg you to show me your glory. And He said, I will
cause all my goodness to pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the
LORD before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I
will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”-
Exodus 33:18 NASB
41
Now we see that his goodness is his glory and his name is
connected with his character, some might say that God does not
have mercy on everyone because of the last two sentences, but the
new testament explains it as a strategic method of reaching everyone
with his goodness .
“Even so now these have been disobedient, that by the

mercy shown to you, they too now be shown mercy.
Because God has locked everyone in disobedience to
show mercy to everyone.” -
Romans 11:31-32 NASB
Now, it is interesting to note that many

Translators have given a bipolar idea of God when they translate the
description that God makes of himself, by translating the word "visit"
which is "Pacad" in Hebrew, as "Punishment". But let's take a look
at the Hebrew word and its use in other passages.
“Then the LORD passed by before him and proclaimed: The

LORD, the LORD, a God of compassion and mercy, slow to anger
and abundant in mercy and faithfulness; who keeps mercy for
thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, and who
will not hold the guilty innocent; he who visits (H6485) the iniquity
of the fathers on the children and on the children's children to the
third and fourth generation.” - Exodus 34:6-7 KJV
42
H6485-Pacad: counted, will visit, will visit,

to visit, to supervise, assembly,
collect, look after.
“Then the LORD visited (H6485) Sarah…” - Genesis 21:1 NASB
“And Joseph said to his brothers: I am going to die, but God will certainly take
care of you (H6485) and will bring you up from this land to the land that He
promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” -
Genesis 50:24 NASB
“...Surely I have visited you (H6485) and I have seen what has been done to you
in Egypt.” - Exodus 3:16 NASB
The biblical occurrences of this word "Pacad" are with a friendly

intention, to Sarah to give her a son, Joseph says that God will take care of his
brothers, and God visits Israel in Egypt to free them. There was no point in
forgiving and punishing at the same time. This implies that all your life God has
been visiting you in your sins, to take care of you, even when you declared yourself
an enemy, He never abandoned you, because he was never angry with you.
"I will never abandon you, I will never leave you alone" - Hebrews 13:5 BLP
“Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the world.”

- Matthew 28:20 KJV
43
“Can a mother forget her suckling child, and stop loving the son
what has given birth? Even if she forgets, I will never forget you!” -
Isaiah 49:15 NIV
Can you see the tenderness of this God who makes himself
call Father? He never stopped loving the world, and even though
the world sinned and we all entered the pit of guilt and
condemnation because of one man who was Adam. God is in
charge of solving the problem, that's why he is the savior. Just think
about it, what fault does man have for being born condemned by
Adam's sin? WELL NONE, no one chose to be born in a world stained
by the condemnation of guilt, but Jesus does justice.
“Therefore, as through one crime guilt came to all men unto

condemnation, so also through one righteousness grace came unto
all men unto justification of life.” -
Romans 5:18 KJV
Paul's logic is mathematical at its simplest, through Adam

all receive the blame, through Christ all are freed from guilt and
condemnation, all are forgiven. And although reading Romans 5 is not
only equivalent to the problem of sin restoration but it is superior. Here's
another example with other aspects where God is solving everything
that Adam messed up.
“For just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” -
1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV
44
All human beings were forgiven,

the whole world was justified by the grace of God.
"God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not taking

men's sins into account, and he entrusted to us the word of
reconciliation." - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
"He is the atonement for our sins, and not only for ours but
also for those of the whole world." -
1 John 2:2 KJV2015
And even if you think that all this is too good for
be true, fasten your seatbelt, because this journey is just
beginning.

HEALED BY FORGIVENESS
“I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven
you for his name.”
1 John 2:12 KJV
back to the womb
“Everything is very dark and I am afraid, I am alone, I feel very alone,

something approaches and recedes, I am even more frightened, I feel
suffocated, my heart is pounding, everything is very dark and I am full of fear,
once again, This thing that I can't distinguish is getting closer, and then my
heart beats stronger, I see everything so dark and I'm so alone, nobody
speaks to me, I'm in a black hole,
I don't know what to do I'm just scared, I'm paralyzed, I can't breathe, I feel
like I'm going to suffocate, I can't breathe anymore, I feel like I'm dying, a
ringing in my ears, I can breathe! There is light, noise, a lot of movement in
my heart It's still beating, but I can breathe now, I'm outside, I've already been
born."
Author: Anamar Orihuela
Book: Transform the wounds of your childhood
The mere experience of being born marks, emphatically, a

precedent in the information files of our mind, as you know, the experiences
of the most tender age affect us for life, it is curious that the experience of
being born comes related, with feelings, of fear, darkness, and suffocation,
it may be the situation of your life today.
Well, there is good news because that indicates that the time has come for
your new life to begin.
47
"The silence of the sea, the ocean is a refuge, a corner that

repairs, that heals." - Mario Benedetti
This is true, according to different researches, the go and

coming from the waves takes us back to the sound effect of the
mother's heartbeat when we are in the womb, which generates a
feeling of protection and security. Just as in the womb we see
ourselves surrounded by water, facing the sea we experience a very
powerful sensation of peace and calm. Have you ever wondered,
Why is it that people in situations of extreme crisis in their lives resort
to the fetal position?
At a certain moment a teacher from Israel, today he

would be comparable to a doctor or scholar in theology, went to Jesus,
the interesting thing is that he goes in the dark of the night, this tells
us a lot about his insecurities, fears, doubts, and his own condition.
Later we see that Nicodemus comes to believe in
Jesus as the Lord, so shocking was what he heard from Jesus that
it changed his entire life, the talk between the two is found in the
well-known chapter 3 of John where the famous verse 16 is. He
speaks to Jesus about a subject, but as if read his heart Jesus goes to
what he needs:
“Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless
one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can
he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? -
John 3:3-4 KJV
48
The word see implies that he who is not born of water and the
Spirit, as Jesus explains later, cannot perceive the kingdom, much less
receive or enter it. The question of Nicodemus being a teacher of Israel
is very useful.
Nicodemus answered and said to him , How can this be done? -

John 3:9 KJV
Doesn't it help us? since, although Jesus tells him that it

deals with spiritual issues, difficult to understand for an earthly
thought, he is going to answer the question, that is, you have to pay
attention to its meaning, he talks about the nature of the one who is
born of the Spirit , you can read it and its relation to the freedom of the
wind blowing, but I want to direct our attention to the direct answer that
comes a few verses below.
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so it is necessary

for the Son of Man to be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in
him may not perish, but may have eternal life.” - John 3:14-15 KJV
"Do not be amazed that I said to you: 'You must be born again.' -
John 3:7 KJV
The connection is that it is necessary, the way to be born again

is answered through the symbol that directs us to the cross, we were
born full of guilt and fears, since we were little, our parents punished us,
by behaving badly, with violence, or our teachers evaluated us according
to our performance, when we go to God we make a
49
image of Him, of things that are here on earth. but Jesus

He invites us to look at his love.
healed wounds
The snakes, which bit Israel in the story that Jesus quoted, caused
so much pain with their poison that the person did nothing but concentrate on
their wounds, thus they died full of fear. In the same way STOP LOOKING AT
YOUR GUILT, look at Jesus, look at him, you have already died in Him, already
rested, risen, and now you are sitting in heavenly places in Christ, look and live.
The text is not telling you that if you do not believe in Jesus you will be lost
forever, the verbs are in the present continuous, believe now that you were
forgiven and you will stop remaining lost, in darkness, you will be born to a new
life with another God of only light.
"Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, because I am God, and
there is no other." - Isaiah 45:22 KJV
This works in a very particular way, let me take you in the process
of how Jesus makes you be born again.
In the first place, to be born we need a womb, to be in God. The Bible tells
us about being in Christ, but how do we do that? There is very good news.
“So that no one boasts before God. But by his work you are in Christ
Jesus, who became to us the wisdom of God, and justification, and
sanctification, and redemption. "
1 Corinthians 1:30 NASB
fifty
This is magnificent, literally just as you do not choose to be

conceived, God has put you in Christ, it is His work, so we cannot say that
we have any merit, since even our Wisdom, our Justification, our
Sanctification and our Redemption, it is Jesus, in Him we have everything,
we are complete.
“You are complete in him” - Colossians 2:10 KJV

We are already in Christ. How is it that we are born? Well, let's
review how Jesus heals hearts, makes them perceive the kingdom
among them.
“But when the people realized this, they followed him; and {Jesus}
receiving them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed
those who needed healing.” - Luke 9:11 NASB
Do you think you need to be cleansed or healed? Do you

think it is necessary to be born again? Right in the following texts your
eyes will be able to see how simple, how simple, what this is, pay attention
because when Jesus says some order, just as it happened in the creation,
it happens instantly, when he tells you to be born again, that is exactly
what happens.
“And in the evening, many possessed with demons were brought to

him; and he expelled the spirits with his word, and healed all who
were sick, so that what was said through the prophet Isaiah would be
fulfilled when he said: HE HIMSELF TAKEN OUR WEAKNESSES
AND BEARED OUR SICKNESSES.” - Matthew 8:16-17 NASB
51
It was so common for Jesus to heal with the word because in his word
there is a creative power, now, pay attention because precisely this helps us
understand what it is to be born of the Spirit.
“Only the Spirit gives eternal life; human efforts (The flesh) accomplish nothing.
And the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” - John 6:63
NLT
“What is born of the flesh (Will, human effort), is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit.” - John 3:6 KJV
“These were born not of blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of
man, but of God.” - John 1:13 KJV
For us, it is evident that no one can ever achieve it, the answer
to Nicodemus' question is no. A man cannot go into the womb or be born,
but Jesus answers the question, How can this be done? explaining that the
one who achieves it is God. For example, what did the leper do when Jesus
commanded him? the next:
“Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I want to; Be clean. And
immediately the leprosy left him.” - Luke 5:13 NASB
He did not obey by trying to cleanse himself, or by washing his skin,
simply the word cleansed the leper. in the same way Jesus has told you “HE
WAS CLEANED”. and the reality for you that you are reading is this right now.
“You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
Abide in me, and I in you..." - John 15:3-4 NASB
52
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has

passed away, the new has come!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
You are already clean! You are already in Christ and with
his creative power he tells you to be and remain in him, now being born
again is exactly the same, through the word. so simple that you read and
listen to his creative words by faith.
"So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." -

Romans 10:17 KJV
“By faith we know that God formed the universe by his word;
so what we now see was made of what could not be seen.” -
Hebrews 11:3 NIV
Because he said, and it was done; He commanded, and it existed. - Psalm 33:9 KJV
"No wonder the Scriptures say: 'I have made you the father of
many nations.' And it is a promise from the very God whom Abraham believed!
He is the God who makes the dead rise and who is able to make (with his
word) things that do not yet exist come into existence! ” -
Romans 4:17 NIV
Birth and first steps
That's how it works, there's no justice in us, but

this God declares us righteous because when he speaks of our
justice he actually refers to his, He is our justice, and even if you are not
sure if you have been born again you can trust in his creative power
when he tells you.
53
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of variation.
In the exercise of his will, he caused us to be born through the word
of truth, so that we might be the first fruits of his creatures.” -
James 1:17-18 NASB
“For you have been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of one that is
incorruptible, that is, through the word of God that lives and abides.” - 1 Peter
1:23 NASB
Did you read that? It's amazing. I want to share this joy with you,
you have just been born from the spirit without your efforts, the one who has
done it was God through his word. Welcome! It's just about thanking what
Jesus has already done. Now just as he managed to be born again only by
believing in his word, so he can remain on his path and in peace looking at
Him, never again at his mistakes or achievements, only what He says about
you.
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him; firmly
rooted and built on Him and confirmed in your faith, just as you were
instructed, overflowing with gratitude. -
Colossians 2:6-7 NASB
"For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed by faith and for faith,
as it is written, But the just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:17 NASB
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down
at the right hand of the throne of God. -
Hebrews 12:2 NASB
54
In that cross we can see how God manifested being

His love is human, that love that "keeps no record of offenses
received" - 1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV. Consider that on that cross he was
showing the forgiveness that heals the world
whole.
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to
sin and live to righteousness, because by his wounds you were healed.” - 1
Peter 2:24 NASB
"He poured out his soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors,
bearing the sin of many, and interceding for the transgressors." -
Isaiah 53:12 NASB
"And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." -
Luke 23:34 KJV
If you believe that the Father answered that prayer, you have no
why continue to live with guilt, Jesus has already prayed and you were
always forgiven, HE HAS FORGIVEN US ALL, GOD REALLY FORGIVED
THE WORLD.
"That true light, which enlightens every man, came into this world." -
John 1:9 KJV
The forgiveness of Jesus is so sublime, it gives so much light, so much

peace to the soul, it is He who heals, the one who embraces hearts
wounded by the pain and miseries of sin, he is not condemning them,
he is healing the wounds of all men, he is wanting to tell them that
everything is settled and that they are forgiven.
55
“Speak to the heart of Jerusalem; tell him loudly that his fight is
over, that his iniquity has been removed; who has received
from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.” - Isaiah 40:2
grace drowns sin
Finally, I want to talk about the doubts that you may have,
since human beings do not usually believe good news, you may
wonder, is it not dangerous to say or believe that everyone was
forgiven? Wouldn't that give license to commit all kinds of crimes?
sins?, due to the refreshing gospel and the pure and unconditional
grace of God, as presented by the apostle Paul, he was accused of
preaching debauchery, to which he responded.
“For sin shall have no dominion over you, for you are not under
law but under grace. So what? Shall we sin because we are not
under law, but under grace? No way!" -
Romans 6:14-15 NASB
“What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace

may abound? No way! We who have died to sin, how shall we
still live in it? - Romans 6:1-2 NASB
Exactly it is grace, it is forgiveness, it is love

that closes the doors to sin, is what leads us to love God more
and more. The reason sin no longer has power over us is grace. Not
the law or the impositions to obey, "grace overcomes sin" and
there, where it is more abundant, there is much more forgiveness and
much more
56
great is the victory. Let Jesus explain to us what effect his forgiveness has
on our lives.
“A creditor had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the
other fifty; and having no means to pay, he forgave them both.
Say, then, which of them will love him more? Answering Simon, he
said: I think that he whom he forgave more. And he said to him: Rightly
have you judged. And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see
this woman? I entered your house, and you did not give me water for my
feet; but this one has watered my feet with tears, and has wiped them with
her hair. You didn't kiss me; but this one, since I entered, has not stopped
kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my
feet with ointment. For which I tell you, it is because their many sins were
forgiven them, for this reason they loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven, love
Luke 7:41-47 KJV
In the story Can you identify the one who owed 500 denarii?...
Exactly, it's the woman. So Simon was less of a sinner than her? Flavio
Josephus, a historian from the time of Christ, tells us that this Pharisee
Simon was his uncle, who led Mary Magdalene to the path of prostitution
since he abused her, seeing herself locked up for this, she moved to
Magdala, which was the very center of this painful reality, when entering her
house, Simón knows in his heart who she is and judges her without seeing
the beam in his own eye.
"When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this , he said to himself: This
man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman is the one
who touches him, who is a sinner." - Luke 7:39 KJV
57
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees!... Indeed, you show yourselves righteous
men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
- Matthew 23:27-28
So I ask you, who is more sinful? the truth

is that it is a matter of perspective, the Pharisee considered
himself just and looked at women as more sinners, in this way
he believed that few sins had been forgiven him, that is why he
loved little, but we have all been great debtors and none has
with what to pay, and just as in history, ALL of us have been
forgiven the debt, the difference will be that you are aware of
how much you were forgiven. Paul got it.
“True saying and worthy of being received by all: that Christ

Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first.” -
1 Timothy 1:15 KJV
This solves the underlying problem, the forgiveness of

Christ heals, our own guilt and that which we carry on Him, and
on our brother, as it happened in Eden in such a way that every
promise of love to God, to our neighbor, even to you, is fulfilled.
itself, which was never achieved by law.
“And he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your
mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” - Luke 10:27-28 NASB
“Bear with one another and forgive one another, if anyone

has a complaint against another. As Christ forgave you, so
do you also.” - Colossians 3:13 KJV
58
“Rather be kind to one another, merciful, forgiving one another,

just as God in Christ also forgave you.” -
Ephesians 4:32 NASB
“Therefore accept one another, just as Christ also accepted

us to the glory of God.” - Romans 15:7 NASB
This is how, although it seems weak, forgiveness is the

most effective weapon in the universe with which God heals
humanity and we finally stop running from God and run crying into
his arms to hug him.
“So, we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as if God were

pleading through us; we beseech you in the name of Christ:
Reconcile with God.” - 2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV

Chapter 4
FORGIVEN FOREVER
“For I will have mercy on their iniquities, and I will remember their
sins no more.”
Hebrews 8:12 NASB
freedom decree
On January 1, 1863, the decree of
emancipation promulgated by Abraham Lincoln, on
September 22 of the previous year, that all slaves,
regardless of the State they are from, will be from now
and forever free. The definitive consolidation of the end of
slavery was achieved in 1865, with the approval of the 13th
Amendment to the United States Constitution (after Lincoln's
re-election). The Proclamation was not released until Lincoln
won a major military victory against the Confederacy at the
Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862). And at last slavery
had been completely abolished.
But you know, even when the decree of freedom

forever had been enacted, as expected the slave owners kept
the big news hidden from them. However, as the word spread
through the country, all the slaves who heard and believed,
lived from that moment and forever free, others accustomed
only to hard work and burdened with broken worth, did not
believe, adding to this that their owners made them believe
that they were
61
lies. But little by little, every slave in every state was finally free.
It is interesting when we compare this with the

emancipation that Christ has decreed, by obtaining the victory and
freeing all humanity, from their oppressors of guilt, condemnation
and the deceptions of the enemy.
“And when you were dead in your trespasses and in the

uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with
him, having forgiven us all our sins, having abolished the
document of debt that consisted in decrees against us and
that was adverse to us, and has out of the way, nailing him to the
cross. And having dispossessed the powers and authorities, he
made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them through hi
Colossians 2:13-15 NASB
But what a magnificent text! The historical parable of the

liberation of the slaves, is a great reminder of the freedom that
Jesus gave to the world, and someone could believe it or not, but
that does not overshadow the supreme victory of Jesus.
“This is a trustworthy word, and worthy of being accepted by all.

Because for this we work and strive, because we have placed our
hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of
believers.” - 1 Timothy 4:9-10 NASB
“I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers,

petitions and thanksgivings be made for all men… Because this is
good and pleasing before God our Savior, who wants all men to be
saved and come to the full knowledge of
62
the truth. For there is one God, and also one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all,
a testimony given in due time” -
1 Timothy 2:1;3-5 NASB
Abraham Lincoln's vision

We were all forgiven and set free forever.
You can see the similarities, even with Abraham Lincoln, saving
greatly the differences, let's notice Abraham Lincoln's thought about
God.
"One of Lincoln's associates, Mentor Graham,

speaks of Lincoln: 'He took the passage, 'As in Adam all die, so
in Christ all shall be made alive,' and followed up with the proposition
that whatever the violation or injury of Adam's transgressions to the
human race, which were undoubtedly very great, were made righteous
by the atonement of
Christ"
The Almost Chosen People” by William J. Wolf

(Doubleday & Company Inc, 1959. p. 47)
"Another associate, Isaac Cogdal, tells of a discussion

on religion in Lincoln's office in 1859: 'Lincoln expressed himself
about these words: He did not and could not believe in the endless
punishment of any of the human race. He understood punishment for
sin to be a biblical doctrine; that the punishment was paternal in its
object, end, and design, and intended for the good of the offender;
therefore, it must cease when justice is satisfied. He added that all that
was lost by Adam's transgression was healed
63
by the atonement: all that was lost by the fall was healed by
the sacrifice'' Ibid. page 104.
This man was a revolutionary, we see him in many

situations where the tone of the sermons in which he was
present were threats such as: if you did not decide for Christ you
would go to hell, and if you did you would be rewarded with
Heaven, this where the preachers invited to stand up to express
his decision, there among large audiences, Lincoln, was the only
one who remained seated. Why? the reason is that he was
moved by the love of God, not by selfish interest in heaven or
fear of punishment in hell. This is manifested in Abraham
Lincoln's creed in his own words, let's see part of it in the
following lines.
“I believe in God, the Almighty Ruler of nations,

our great, good and merciful Maker, our Father who art in
heaven, who watches the fall of a sparrow and counts the hairs
on our heads… I believe that the Bible is the best gift that God
has given to men. All the good of the Savior of the world is
communicated to us through this
book. I believe that the will of God prevails. Without Him,
all human trust is in vain. Without the help of His divine
Self, I cannot succeed. With that help I cannot fail… I look
through God's help to a happy reunion with many loved ones
who have gone before.”
(Excerpts from) “The Abrahamic Creed

Lincoln in his own words"
64
salvation accomplished
In all this we see a powerful reality and it is

that God is not angry with the world, that God does not remember the
sins of humanity, that he has forgiven them and that he gave us freedom, no
slave was free until he believed and then lived as free. Today is exactly the
same!
This is how the book of Hebrews explains it.
“Because the good news has been announced to us as well as to them; but
hearing the word did not profit them, because it was not accompanied by faith
in those who heard it… His works were finished from the foundation of the
world. For in a certain place he said thus of the seventh day: And God rested
from all his works on the seventh day.” -
Hebrews 4:2-4 KJV
“Again determine a day: Today, saying after so long, through David, as it was
said: Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts… For he who
has entered into his rest has also rested from his works , like God of his” -
Hebrews 4:7 and 10 KJV
In what does this good news consist, that makes us enter

in the rest of God? From what works do we rest when we believe this good
news? Perhaps if we go to the beginning, as the text points out, to the same
creation, we will understand it.
“Thus were finished (H3615) the heavens and the earth and all their hosts.
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had made, and he rested
on the seventh day from all his work that he had made.” - Genesis 2:1-2 NASB
65
H3615, Kalah: finished, finished, finished,

to be complete, bride at one end, finished,
accomplished, or past.
The Hebrew word "kalah" means that the work is

complete, that nothing needs to be added. Just think about it, the
human being did not create anything, the one who creates, says,
moves, forms, separates, calls, makes sprout, makes produce,
looks, approves, blows, is God! God does everything, he is the
Word, he is the creative Word, and then man enters the rest of a
complete work on the seventh day.
In the same way it happens just before Jesus rests from

his works in the tomb, as do those who die in the Lord mentioned
in the Apocalypse.
“I heard a voice from heaven say to me: Write: Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit,
they will rest from their works, because their works with
them continue.” - Revelation 14:13 NASB
On the cross he proclaims that the work is completed,

using the Greek equivalent of "Kalah", that is: "Tetelestai" saying
that all the work of salvation was finished, that the emancipation of
humanity was a real and concrete fact, that there are human works
that need to be done to be saved.
66
“When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said: It is finished (G5055). And
having bowed (G2827) his head, he gave up the spirit.” -
John 19:30 NASB
G5055, Tetelestai: finishing, ending,

fulfilled, to end, complete, fulfill.
G2827, Klinas: stand, lay down, go

down, decline, decline, to cause bending.
This is how again on the seventh day God ends

the work, and he can finally enter into rest, since the Greek word
for “bowed down” is the same one that appears when Jesus says that
he has nowhere to lay his head, now he finally lays his head down.
“And Jesus said to him: The foxes have burrows and the birds of the
sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head
(G2827) . - Luke 9:58 NASB
John's account goes on to tell us that just then

rest began, even the shadows of the holidays as well as the rest of
that Saturday showed us the great spiritual reality of rest in Christ.
67
“The Jews then, since it was the day of preparation for the Passover,
so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath
(because that Sabbath day was very solemn), they asked Pilate to
break their legs and take them away.” - John 19:31 NASB
rest of our works

This is the rest to which we are invited to enter, believing in
the great news, that our salvation has already been achieved, that we
do not need to continue living as slaves doing works to save ourselves.
"Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according
to our works, but according to his purpose and according to the
grace that was given us in Christ Jesus from everlasting" - 2 Timothy 1:9 NA
“He saved us, not because of works of righteousness that we had

done, but according to his mercy, through the washing of
regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit” - Titus 3:5 NASB
In this way we can understand that God has taken humanity

in Christ, not only in his life, but to the cross, but he also takes it to
rest, but it does not end there, he raises it from the dead, puts it sitting
on the throne , in heavenly places, bless her with every spiritual
blessing and see how all her enemies are made her footstool. Anyone
who has read the book of Ephesians knows what I am talking about.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which
he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us
alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and with
68
He raised us up, and seated us with Him in heavenly places in Christ

Jesus, that He might display in the ages to come the surpassing
riches of His grace for His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For by
grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from
yourselves, but is the gift of God; not by works, so that no one can
boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared beforehand for us to walk in.” -
Ephesians 2:4-10 NASB
The achievement of Christ is so great, so deep, so high, so

indescribable, that you want me to write to you the most if this book
falls short of telling you everything he did for us, as John had already
said.
“And there are also many other things that Jesus did, that
if they were written down in detail, I think not even the world
itself could contain the books that would be written.” - John 21:25 NASB
This is so important, but I just want to know if the heart that

is receiving these words is beating to the beat of infinite forgiveness,
if you are being healed, if your burdens are falling, if your fears are
disappearing, if your doubts are fading, If that is happening, it is
because your eyes are opening to the precious reality of a God who
loves you with all his strength, with all his mind, with all his soul, with all
his heart. Then I will know that writing this was not in vain.
That today you are able to accept that great salvation and
receive that great forgiveness, it is because Jesus moved heaven
and earth, He came to this world just so that you would know that you were
69
forgiven and that the Father Himself loves you, that you may awaken
to the reality that salvation is present with you, continually present
to you at this very moment.
“For God says: “At the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation
I helped you». Indeed, the "right time" is now. Today is the day
of salvation." - 2 Corinthians 6:2 NLT
As you have read this book and if you have never

heard or experienced this God before, you have grown, to the
point of knowing more how much God loves you regardless of your
mistakes and performance, you have believed that you are forgiven
of all your sins, you have been put in Jesus, you have been healed
and cleansed with his word, you have been born again, you are
already a new creature to forgive and love your brothers, and today
you came to believe that you are free now and forever. Well, the
good news continues, because when you were forgiven by God He
forgave you forever all your sins, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
Forgiven from eternity
When God gave us grace and forgiveness for

through Jesus Christ, he did it from eternity and in his
foreknowledge, he saw absolutely all your sins, all your mistakes
and forgives you all, each one, He is not recording every mistake
you make he overlooked the sin of men.
70
“Chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by

the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be
sprinkled with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.” -
1 Peter 1:2 NASB
“But we always have to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord,
because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation
through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.” - 2
Thessalonians 2:13 NASB
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
he predestined us for adoption as sons to himself through Jesus
Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will” - Ephesians 1:3-5 NASB
God looked at the whole world and without respect of

people included them all in Christ, and the cross is the
manifestation of what he did before the foundation of the world. So
he forgave the whole world, so that God sees every perfect human
being just like his son Jesus.
"Because he was prepared before the foundation of the world, but

he has manifested himself in these last times for love of you"
- 1 Peter 1:20 NASB
“Otherwise it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times
since the foundation of the world; but now, once only in the
consummation of the ages, has he appeared to destroy sin by the
sacrifice of himself.” - Hebrews 9:26 NASB
71
It is that with a single sacrifice God has revealed to

humanity that there is nothing more to forgive, that everything is
already cleansed, that everyone is included in Christ and that all
our life and our sins were buried in the depths of the abyss.
“Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity and passes

over the rebelliousness of the remnant of his inheritance?
He will not persist in his anger forever, because he delights
in mercy. He will pity us again, he will tread down our iniquities.
Yes, you will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
You will grant to Jacob the truth and to Abraham mercy, which
you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.” - Micah 7:18-20 NASB
What are these mercies? What is the oath

what are you talking about? Like the emancipation of the slaves,
it is the covenant of the eternal promise to forgive us and save
us by pure grace. Since the slaves could not free themselves.
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has visited and

redeemed his people, and raised up a mighty Savior for us...
As he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets who were
from the beginning; salvation from our enemies, and from the
hand of all who hated us; to show mercy to our parents, and
remember their holy covenant; of the oath that he made to
Abraham our father, that he would grant us that, delivered
from our enemies, without fear we would serve him in
holiness and justice before him, all our days... To give
knowledge of salvation to his people, for forgiveness of their sins, by t
72
our God, with whom the dawn visited us from on high" -

Luke 1:68-78 KJV
It's amazing! Have you read these promises? Note how

important this is, the pact is very contrary to what is normally believed, it
is not a contract, where man fulfills his part so that God fulfills his, it is an
Oath, it is a promise, it is a will, an inheritance, not it depends on what
the slave does, he is the savior, the one who is in charge of saving and
forgiving, because God did not ask you if he forgave you or not, He just
did it, and promises you that you will be freed forever from your enemies
and you will live in Justice and in holiness all the days of your life. Let us
see how this Covenant is described in the book of
Hebrews.
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days--Says
the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds I will
write them, he adds: And never again will I remember their sins and
iniquities. Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is
no more offering for sin.” - Hebrews 10:16-18 NASB
perfect consciousness
God has already forgiven, He is in charge of writing his
laws, of forgiving and will never remember our sins, no more offering is
needed because they were forgiven once for all. Now in the old covenant
of the works of the law, sacrifices were offered for sin that were always
reminding us of sin so they could never really feel forgiven.
73
“Otherwise, would they not have ceased to offer themselves,

since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer be conscious
of sin? But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after
year.” - Hebrews 10:2-3 NASB
“Which is a symbol for the present time, according to which

offerings and sacrifices are presented that cannot make the one who
practices this worship perfect in his conscience ” - Hebrews 9:9 NASB
On the other hand, forgiveness confirmed by the cross gives us

the eternal security of forgiveness, makes us perfect in our awareness
that we always live forgiven, and as long as Christ lives we will have the
security of having been forgiven.
"By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ offered once for all. And certainly every priest
stands, day after day, ministering and offering many times the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered
one sacrifice for sins forever... For by one offering He has made
perfect forever those who are sanctified.” - Hebrews 10: 10-14 NASB
“Wherefore He also is able to save forever those who draw near to God
through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.”
- Hebrews 7:25 NASB
“From today you will be; from now and forever FREE.”
74
Chapter 5
GOD DID NOT KILL HIS SON
“Behold, the hour is coming, and has already come, when you will be
scattered, each to his own, and you will leave me alone; and yet I am not
alone, because the Father is with me.”
John 16:32 NASB
Who demands sacrifices?

There is a popular belief that God the Father poured
all his holy indignation about his son on the cross, it was not
enough with all the agony, the suffering caused by the shame, the
outrage and the physical torture, the emotional burden, the
payment, it is about repaying the debt, which humanity has with
God, that until God does not make man perish with the greatest pain
possible, his "Justice" would not be satisfied, his anger would not
rest until he sees the sinner in agony sunk in the most horrendous
mental, physical and spiritual scenes ever. experienced.
These so-called atonement doctrines posit that God's love

is manifested by Jesus dying in your place, as your substitute, but
does it really? does it enhance love
of God? A friend from university was an atheist, while I was
studying theology in a talk I tried to show her that God loved her
and that was shown by the cross, to which she tells me, - Do you
love so much that you had to take it out on your son for not doing it
with me, God loves so much that he killed his son?
76
She is the mother of a little girl, to the good understanding

few words, because his answer left me speechless, I could not answer
anything to it, it resonated for years, later I found out, that the famous
teaching of "Substitution" is a legal fiction, I mean, that nobody pays for
another, what what actually happened was that Jesus became one with us,
and suffered. But the question is who demands that suffering?
Some will say that God, because he was expressed in the

ceremonies of the sanctuary, by confessing sins on a lamb, either because
of his hatred of sin or because of his "Holiness", or because his broken law
demands death of the same, because sin is lawlessness and God must punish
sin .
But I ask you again, who punishes sin with death? Who demands the
sacrifice?
“What is the abundance of your sacrifices to me? says the LORD. I

am fed up with burnt offerings of rams, and with the tallow of fattened cattle;
and the blood of bullocks, lambs and goats does not please me. When you
come to appear before me, who demands this of you, that you trample my
courts?” - Isaiah 1:11-12 NASB
“Sacrifice and offering do not please you; you have opened my ears; burnt
offering and atonement you have not demanded.” - Psalm 40:6 KJV
"Saying above: Sacrifice and gift, and burnt offerings and atonement for sin
you did not want, nor were you pleased, (which things are offered
according to the law,)"- Hebrews 10:8 KJV
Did we miss something? Apparently yes. And really God

seems to ignore the whole sacrificial system and
77
substitution, however, is something we will cover in depth in

the next chapter, keep reading because you are about to
realize the biggest lie in history, but also one of the most
moving truths about God. Let's go back
a little at first.
"But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,
for in the day you eat from it you will surely die." - Genesis 2:17 NASB
At this moment Adam and Eve are not scared, God is

not threatening them, they are not afraid, but they acquire it by
talking to the serpent, which teaches them about that science;
that produces selfish interest in reward and fear of punishment.
God did not say: “When they eat I am going to kill

them”, He said that they would die. Notice first how the
deception multiplied and now Adam and Eve were fleeing from
God, just as Cain and an entire humanity did, as we studied in
chapter one.
Enemies of Grace: Law and Death

Moreover, one of the best known texts about
this matter, has been used to say that God will pay the
sinner with death, however let's review what it says:
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 6:23 NASB
Can you see, while sin treats people according to their

works, giving them a payment, a salary, a
78
salary, namely death. In contrast, since the word "more" is used to express
something totally opposite or, on the contrary, God gives as a gift, he gives it
freely, not as a payment according to works, but by pure grace he gives us
eternal life .
“That as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness

to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” - Romans 5:21 NASB
We can see that the Justice of God has to do with

give us eternal life, not with sin and death. So, on the one hand we have
God giving us eternal life and on the other hand, sin paying with death, but
the superiority of God over death is shown since neither sin nor death are
eternal, moreover, they are enemies of God. God.
And the last enemy to be eliminated is death. -

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law -
Just if you have doubts about the last part of the verse, I could use
a lot of evidence, to prove that it is true that the law empowers sin, while
forgiveness and grace overcome it. What happens is that the prohibition, since
you don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, increases the temptation to do
so.
It is the reason many pastors' children want nothing to do with
the church. If they put you in a room where there is a door that says top
secret DO NOT ENTER, your
79
brain interprets: Open it! The prohibition was what the serpent used to
tempt.
“And the serpent was more cunning than any of the animals of the field that
the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "So God has said to you, 'You
shall not eat of any tree in the garden?' -
Genesis 3:1 NASB
“But sin, taking advantage of the commandment, produced in me all kinds

of covetousness; for apart from the law sin is dead.” -
Romans 7:8 NASB
That is why Paul, speaking of the inefficiency of the law, puts it in the
imperative, as an order, DO NOT, but when we read "You will love" as a promise
that in Christ we will love, then they will be fulfilled as promises, you will not steal,
you will not covet, you I promise you will not commit adultery, I promise you will not
bear false witness. Since as we saw the pact is a promise not a contract with
conditions.
Origin of the old covenant

Israel did not remain in that covenant, they made their own
pact with God by saying:
Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the
people, and they said, "All that the Lord has said we will do and obey"
Exodus 24:7 NASB
“Not like the covenant that I made with your fathers on the day that I took them by
the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: because they did not
80
they remained in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says

the Lord.” - Hebrews 8:9 NASB
When it came to promises they got it

as commandments and prohibitions, then they disregarded
the pact and made a contract, and were
delivered by God to fall under the law.
Hear, my people, and I will admonish you. Israel, if you listen to me, there will
be no other god in you, nor will you bow down to a foreign god. But my
people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not want me. I left them,
therefore, to the hardness of their hearts; They walked on their own advices. Oh if you had
my people, if Israel had walked in my ways!” -
Psalms 81:8, 9, 11-13 KJV
They only had to listen to his promises that they would not have
other gods, only believe in that creative power and treasure, that is
what the Hebrew words imply when God seeks to conclude his pact
(Oath or promise) not contract.
“Now then, if you truly listen (H8085) to my voice and keep

(H8104) my pact, you will be my special treasure among all peoples,
because the whole earth is mine.” - Exodus 19:5 NASB
81
H8085 - Shama: ear, heard, hear, listen

intelligently.
H8104 - Shamar: keep, keep, keep, fence,

guard, to protect, pay attention
a.
The first time the last word appears in the bible
“Save” is in:
“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden
of Eden to till it and keep it (H8104).” - Genesis 2:15 KJV
Can you obey a garden? Can't you? Well, it's the same
with a promise with the pact with the oath, you don't obey it,
but you treasure it, you take care of it, you keep it, it's a gift,
you protect it. Therefore, it is exactly what God said: listen
carefully and treasure the promises now known as the 10
commandments.
But it happened that when they wanted to live

under the law they immediately broke their own promise to
God, since they did not accept God's promise to them. An
example: They had Jewels and gold all along the way, but the
moment they are told NOT to make an image for yourself, they
soon make a golden calf. In this way the law of Moses becomes
the mirror of the human heart, since they are delivered, they
are given the freedom to live under the law, God says: Do you
want to live under the law? so are the things:
82
“And you shall set borders around for the people, and you shall say: `Beware of going
up the mountain or touching its border; whoever touches the mountain will surely
die.” - Exodus 19:12 NASB
Sounds familiar? this happened a few verses later

that they chose to live under the law, in other words, the result of touching
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the same as touching the mountain, it is
because the principles are the same, and the results are also the same, “ will
certainly die”
If this seems new to you, I assure you that many things fit into the next
chapter, but the point I want you to perceive is where this idea comes from that it is
fair that sin be punished with death, and how the law for the great most esteemed
as the character of God, demands the death of the sinner. I want you to see the
difference and I will write it in bold letters.
ÿ THE JUSTICE AND THE LAW OF GOD IS HIS CHARACTER OF
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TOWARDS EVERYONE, HE PROMISES AND

SPREADS THAT LOVE FREELY.
ÿ THE JUSTICE OF THE SERPENT IS THE LAW OF GOD IMPOSED

AS REQUIREMENTS, COMMANDMENTS, CONDITIONS AND
MERITS UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH.
83
true justice
This ministry, these laws are opposed to God at all, He does not
use force or violence, or death. Read 2 Corinthians 3 through and you will see
the contrast.
“And if the ministry of death engraved in letters on stones was with

glory, in such a way that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face
of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which faded... For If
the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of
justice abound in glory. "
2 Corinthians 3:7 and 9 NASB
God's Justice is forgiveness, it is justification, not condemnation, it is

something totally opposite to Him.
“But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed,
witnessed by the law and the prophets” - Romans 3:21 NASB
“Because in the gospel the justice of God is revealed by faith and for faith;
as it is written: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH" -
Romans 1:17 NASB
The sermons often revolve around the law, how sinful we are and
what we should and should not do, but that justice is by works, it is useless
towards God, when preaching the gospel we do not highlight sin or condemnation,
much less death, nor the law, what we highlight is the justice of God manifested
in Jesus and He never condemned anyone, on the contrary, in his justice he
forgives and justifies everyone.
84
Now let's evaluate some texts and see how in God there is no
death, no condemnation, no sin. The Bible says that God is pure light
without shadows.
“This is the message that we have heard from him, and announce to you: God
is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.” - 1 John 1:5 NASB
Now what is light? and What is darkness?, before

To define it I want us to be clear that there can be no union between these
two, they cannot be mixed and much less in God, what seeks to mix darkness
with light is the science of the tree of good and evil.
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what association

have justice and iniquity? Or what communion light with darkness? Or
what harmony has Christ with Belial? Or what does a believer have in
common with an unbeliever?” - 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NASB
For those who want to join them, these are the distances, like this
that on the one hand we have the light and let the Bible define it.
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not prevail against it.” -
John 1:4-5 KJV
"He who loves his brother abides in the light and there is no cause
for stumbling in him" - 1 John 2:10 NASB
85
Thus we can see that the light is Jesus himself, specifically

it is about life and love.
“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light: and on those
who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned.” -
Matthew 4:16 KJV
“But he who hates his brother is in the dark and walks in the dark, and
does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his
eyes” - 1 John 2:11 NASB
On the other hand, the prince of darkness is Satan, in

this side the darkness is death and hatred.
Light = Life and Love

Darkness = Death and Hate
God cannot give what he does not have, we see then, that although
Jesus was delivered to the power of darkness, just as he says:
“Having been with you every day in the Temple, you did not stretch out your
hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” - Luke
22:53 KJV
"But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One, and asked to be granted a
murderer, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead,
of which we are witnesses" -
Acts 3:14-15 NASB
86
He is called the author of life! In contrast to a murderer,

which of the two is your God? The one who takes life or the one who
gives it away? The one who kills or the one who resurrects?
“Then he said to them, Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil?

save a life or kill? But they kept silent.” -
Mark 3:4 NASB
The identity of the destroyer

As for this matter of the contrast between the
destroyer and the author of life, for example, in the writings of the old
testament, it would be necessary to write another book to address the
matter, but one thing is certain, if we conceive of God killing his son on
the Cross we will see him killing him in all the biblical story. Because the
Bible tells us in its entirety about Jesus. For example in the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah or in the death of the firstborn of Egypt. We
believe it was God, but in Revelation it is revealed to us who died in a
spiritual sense and who suffered there.
"And their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which in a spiritual
sense is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
- Revelation 11:8 KJV
It reveals to us who suffers with the victims of death, but also

who is the destroyer.
"They have over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is
Abaddon (Destruction), and in Greek he is called Apollyon (The
Destroyer)." - Revelation 9:11 NASB
87
And Paul studying the scriptures where he says that

Jehovah was the one who killed, he identifies that the author is actually
that destroyer and not God.
“Neither let us provoke the Lord, as some of them provoked him,

and were destroyed by the serpents. Nor murmur, as some of them
murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer." -
1 Corinthians 10:9-10 NASB
You will never be alone son

It means that it is not God destroying, his wrath consists
precisely in giving, but at the same time it is suffering with them,
never abandoning them, it was the serpent that made Jesus feel
abandoned by his Father when his father suffered with him on the
cross, Jesus expresses it in this language:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets and stone those who are
sent to you ! is left desolate" - Matthew 23:37-38 KJV
God withdrawing his protection and crying for what is

happening, that is the wrath of God, see the context of his
words between tears.
"When Jesus approached, seeing the city, he wept (screamed in

pain) over it" - Luke 19:41 NIV
88
In the next chapter we will review that God did not require
the death of his son to forgive us, and after that He Why was Jesus put to
death? And what is God's purpose in doing so? Why did Jesus go through
this experience?:
“And about the ninth hour, Jesus exclaimed with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli,
lema sabactani? This is: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
- Matthew 27:46 NASB
Those who advocate that God really hid his face

of his son ignore that this phrase is taken from Psalm 22, and that in the
same Psalm it says the following.
“For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, nor has he
hidden his face from him; But when he cried out to him, he heard him.” -
Psalm 22:24 KJV
But at the end of this chapter you can be sure, and that is
that the Father did not kill his son, and that he did not abandon his son
either.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so
that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.” -
John 3:16 KJV
“Behold, the hour is coming, and has already come, when you will be
scattered, each to his own, and you will leave me alone; and yet I am
not alone, because the Father is with me.” - John 16:32 NASB
89
It does not say that God loved the world so much that he killed his
son, but he gave it, he gave it to you, and if he never abandoned him,
he will never abandon you either.
90
Chapter 6
FORGIVENESS WITHOUT SPILLING BLOOD
"That God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not

counting men's sins against them, and entrusted to us the word of
reconciliation." –
a close god
Since ancient times pagan civilizations have

had deities to whom they offer offerings in the interest of
be blessed in their companies, because if those gods with a bipolar and
selfish character get angry, they would be severely punished, until the anger
of those gods is satisfied, hence there are countless offerings to satisfy the gods
who were angry and away from humanity doing their daily activities.
"What the king demands is difficult and there is no one who can declare it to
the king but the gods whose abode is not with men." -
Daniel 2:11 NASB
This was the idea of the gods in Babylon, remote and distant from
humanity, what a contrast to the God who became flesh to dwell near us.
“For what great nation is there that has a god as close to it as the
LORD our God is whenever we call on him?” -
92
"The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His
glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." -
John 1:14 NASB
If you were in those civilizations, you started bringing offerings

of wheat, barley, bread, wine and meat. However, if due to some storm or
bad weather your crops did not produce, then the first thought was that the
gods were upset punishing your bad behavior or poor devotion, to which
you respond by bringing more precious offerings, such as money, animals,
long penances and heartrending prayers and thus keep the wrath of the
gods satisfied.
“And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, saying: Shout with
a loud voice, for it is God (Baal); perhaps he is meditating, or has a job, or
is on his way; maybe he sleeps, and we have to wake him up. And they
cried out with loud voices, and cut themselves with knives and with lancets
according to their custom, until the blood gushed over them. Noon
passed, and they kept shouting frantically until the time of offering the
sacrifice, but there was no voice, no one to answer or listen.” - 1 Kings
18:27-29 KJV
But if a problem occurs again in the production of crops

or a family member dies, it means that they are not satisfied, so they
begin to deliver more precious things such as: Their blood, that of their
animals, mutilating their genitals, until they have thousands of antecedents
of how these cultures offered their children as sacrifices.
93
In this cultural context Abraham lived, when he is

called to leave his land, this for the civilization of the time was
already revolutionary, that he was the deity who takes the
initiative to communicate with a mortal. It was common for
offerings and sacrifices to be offered on mountains and high places.
“You will completely destroy all the places where the nations
you will dispossess serve their gods: on the high mountains,
on the hills, and under every leafy tree.” - Deuteronomy 12:2 NASB
So it is no surprise to Abraham that a deity

Ask him to offer his most precious thing to his beloved
son, as a sacrifice on a mountain.
"And God said, Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and
go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the
mountains that I will tell you about." - Genesis 22:2 NASB
The Angel who asks for Isaac in holocaust

But in the story of Abraham something
extremely suspicious happens, God is not like the other
gods who ask for sacrifices, much less human, pay careful
attention to the Angel that stops Abraham.
“And he said: Do not stretch out your hand on the boy, nor do anything to him; for
now I know that you fear God, since you did not withhold your son, your only
son from me” - Genesis 22:12 JBS
Did we miss something? Who is this angel?

Obviously it is not God, because he needed proof to
94
convince himself that he feared God and refers to God as in the third person,
but the strangest thing is that he says "NOT ME" you refused your son, who
asked Abraham to sacrifice his son? God or the angel ? Apparently the
sacrifice was for the Angel, why did that angel want to check if Abraham
feared God or not? The key is in the book of Job.
“And the LORD said to Satan, Have you not considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him on earth, a perfect and upright man, who fears God
and turns away from evil? Satan answered the Lord: Does Job fear God for
nothing? - Job 1:8-9 KJV
You know the rest of the story, the one who needed to prove
Job's faithfulness or fear of God was Satan. Even the bible mentions an
extra-canonical book, which very possibly is not the writing of Jasher, but
dates from the Babylonian exile like many of the current biblical manuscripts.
There he gives us a masterful detail.
“The sun stood still and the moon stood still, until Israel took revenge on
her adversaries. This is written in the book of Jasher. And, indeed, the sun
stopped at the zenith and did not move from there for almost a whole day.” -
Joshua 10:13 NIV
"And YAHWEH said to ha satan: Have you considered my servant Avraham

(Abraham)? For there is none like him on earth, a perfect and upright man
before Me, one who fears the Almighty and avoids evil; as I live I would say to
him: Bring up your son Yitzchak (Isaac) before Me, he would not hold him back
from Me, no more if I told him to bring a burnt offering from his flock or herds.
And has satan responded to
95
YAHWEH and said: Speak now to Avraham as You have said, and You will see if
he does not transgress this day and cast Your words aside. -
Yashar (Jasher) 22:54-55
The one who asks for sacrifices to be offered to him is the devil.
God instead shows Abraham with a ram, that he will be the one to deliver his son,
not to satisfy his own anger, but to save the man he asks to die. We know that God
loves us because he did not deny us his only son whom he loves, in essence our
own carnal heart asked for that sacrifice.
“He who spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not
also with him give us all things? Who will accuse God's chosen ones? It is God
who justifies. Who is he that will condemn? Christ is the one who died; moreover,
the one who was also resurrected, the one who is also at the right hand of God,
the one who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of
Christ?
Tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
or sword?” - Romans 8:32-35 KJV
Although we persecuted him, he was distressed, had

He was hungry and we did not feed him, we shamed him, stripped
him naked, crucified him and pierced him, none of that made Christ stop loving
us, he freely forgave us, does God really need to see animal sacrifices or human
blood to forgive us?
Israel and the tabernacle of Molech

“Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you.
96
I am God, your God. Shall I not rebuke you for your sacrifices and your
burnt offerings, which are always before me? I will not take calves from
your house or goats from your folds. For mine is every beast of the forest
and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and
everything that moves in the field belongs to me. If I were hungry, I wouldn't
tell you, because the world and its fullness are mine. Shall I eat the
meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats? Offer God your gratitude, and pay
your vows to the Most High.” -
Psalm 50:7-14 KJV
“You shall not do so toward the LORD your God, for every abominable
deed that the LORD hates they have done in honor of their gods; because
even their sons and their daughters burn in the fire in honor of their
gods.” - Deuteronomy 12:31 NASB
“Neither shall you give your son to offer him to Moloch, nor shall you
profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.” - Leviticus 18:21 NASB
Moloch was a Phoenician god to whom animals were sacrificed.

children by throwing them into the red-hot womb. We have already
talked about how Israel was given over to serve their
97
own law, it is not strange to see that these offerings and sacrifices of
animals so that God would forgive them were absolutely
pagan.
“Whom our fathers did not want to obey; before they rejected him, and
in their hearts they returned to Egypt, saying to Aaron: Make us
gods that go before us; because to this Moses, who brought us out of
the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. And in
those days they made a calf, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and
rejoiced in the work of their hands. Then God withdrew, and gave
them over to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of
the prophets: Did you offer me victims and sacrifices in the desert for
forty years, O house of Israel? Before, you brought the tabernacle
of Molech, and the star of your god Remfan: Figures that you made for
yourselves to worship them: I will carry you, then, beyond Babylon.” -
Acts 7:39-43 KJV
Incredible, Esteban in this masterful speech filled with the Holy

Spirit, is revealing that the law given at Sinai is a reflection of the
hardness of man's heart, they turned in their hearts to the idols of Egypt,
so God says...
“Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart,
and who puts before his face what causes him to fall into his iniquity,
and then comes to the prophet, then I, the LORD, will answer him
according to the multitude of their idols, in order to reach the house
of Israel in their hearts, which are estranged from me because of all
their idols.” - Ezekiel 14:4-5 NASB
The Wrath of God is to give you the freedom to follow the idols of
his heart, then he gives laws according to the gods that
98
they have, to play their same game and by speaking their language to be
able to make them understand their love and that a different image of God
only brings misery.
“After the idols of his parents his eyes went. I also gave them
statutes that were not good and decrees by which they could not
live; and I declared them unclean in their offerings, because they made
all their firstborn pass through the fire, in order to fill them with terror,
so that they would know that I am the LORD.” - Ezekiel 20:24-26 NASB
So we see how they carry a sacrificial system

According to their idols, the entire sanctuary is pagan, although God
speaks in figures, taking advantage of showing them Jesus in their own
language.
But God did not want it to be this way, as we have already shown
in the previous chapter the covenant had nothing to do with burnt
offerings (Holocausts) or sacrifices, rather it was about paying
attention, listening and treasuring its promises.
But by falling into the old pact of condemnation and death, the system
of Sacrifices is established.
“Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings
to your sacrifices and eat the meat. For I did NOT speak to your
fathers, nor did I command them ANYTHING regarding burnt
offerings and sacrifices, on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt.
But this is what I commanded them, saying: 'Listen to my voice and I
will be your God and you will be my people, and you will walk in every
way that I send you so that it may go well with you.' -
Jeremiah 7:21-23 NASB
99
For many this is something highly revolutionary, God did

not want sacrifices because he does not need them, he says that it
was not Him who was offered this for 40 years, but Moloch.
But does God really demand all this in order to forgive sins?
“With what shall I come before the Lord, and worship the Most High
God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with yearling
calves? Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with
ten thousand streams of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my
rebellion, the fruit of my loins for the sin of my soul?” - Micah 6:6-7 K
Who made the first sacrifice?

If you paid attention to chapter 1 (The serpent the new
god) of the book, you will realize that we identify the usurper as
the false "Lord God" the same one who knew the science of good and
evil, that leads us to identify the founder of the sacrificial system.
“And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his
wife, and clothed them. Then the LORD God said, Behold, the man has
become as one of us, knowing good and evil; beware now lest he
stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat and live
forever.” - Genesis 3:21-22
It is Satan who hides behind ceremonial

pagans.
At one point Elijah was on Mount Horeb

hidden, the same mountain where God spoke with Moses. Over there
100
there were lightning, storms, smoke, fire and tremors. Paul

says that we have not come to that mountain, but to Jesus.
But continuing with Elijah, God calls him to his

presence to speak with him and there the same elements
are presented: storm, earthquake and fire, but God was not in
any of that. So who was in the fire, the storm and the
earthquake?
The usurper, the same one who gave Moses

an instruction manual on pagan sacrifices; after that
God appears in his merciful character, just as he appears to
Elijah in a gentle and delicate whistle. For both Satan appears
first with all his paraphernalia, to confuse and instill fear, this
contrasts with a God who waits patiently and in silence.
Let's go back a little further, where does this idea of

sacrificing an innocent in my place, blaming him come from?
As we have already read, Adam blamed Eve, and she
blamed the serpent, but everything ultimately falls on God. So
it is the man who decides that the guilty of all this is God, he
must pay, the wrath of man is kindled against God himself.
Then God, to show man what is in his heart, gives him
to that sacrificial system, so that he can see what is inside
him in that mirror.
We see how in the same way that the man directed

his guilt and his wrath on God who was innocent, the picture
of the sacrifice of the lamb illustrates exactly that.
101
``He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and
slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering
is slaughtered.” - Leviticus 4:33 NASB
“Then Aaron shall lay both hands on the head of the goat
and shall confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel
and all their transgressions, all their sins, and laying them on
the head of the goat, he shall send it into the wilderness by
means of a man prepared for this.” - Leviticus 16:21 NASB
We can see how is the heart of the man who wanted

looking for another culprit, so he puts his hands on the lamb's
head, blames it and kills it himself. That is exactly what
happened with Christ, it was us for our sins that we killed him by
throwing our guilt on him, many believe that it was God who
whipped him and wounded him, but in the previous chapter we
saw that it was not so, instead we We charge and kill him.
“Surely he bore our sicknesses, and suffered our pains; and we

considered him scourged, wounded by God and dejected. Plus
he was wounded for our rebellions, bruised for our sins; the
chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we
are healed.” - Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV
We think it was God who killed him when

in reality we sacrifice him. So when we
we realize what we have done is when the cross has its effect
on our hearts.
102
“Let all the house of Israel know most certainly that this Jesus whom
you crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ. Hearing this,
they were pricked (G2660) of heart, and said to Peter and the other
apostles: `Men brothers, what shall we do? - Acts 2:36-
37 KJV
G2660 - katanussó: apologetic, to prick violently,

pierce deeply, emotionally pierced, circumcised
They were circumcised from the heart, when? This happened

as they listened to what Peter said, that they had crucified
Christ. This impacts hearts! This is how the cross has power to heal and
expiate the sin of the heart, in this way the lamb, its blood cleanses us
from all sin when we realize what we did to the son of God.
“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; because they

do not submit to the law of God, nor can they.” -
Romans 8:7 KJV
“Whoever hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among

them the works that no one else has done, they would have no sin;
but now they have seen them, and they have hated me and also my Father” -
John 15:23-24 NASB
“But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth,
which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this. you are from
103
your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He has
been a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of himself; because
he is a liar, and the father of lies.” - John 8:40 and 44 KJV
“Not like Cain who was from the evil one, and killed his brother. And why
did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous."
- 1 John 3:12 NASB
Abel, made righteous by faith, is cleansed from that sin which

it is hating God and wanting to kill him and blaming him, because by spilling
the blood of a little lamb that he himself had cared for, his heart finds the
mirror that shows him that his desire is to kill Jesus. Instead, Cain offers the
works of his hands and intends to satisfy God with offerings, so since his hatred
of God is not satisfied with blood, that hatred is directed at his brother. What does
it mean?
"And the King will answer and say to them: 'Truly I tell you, as soon as you
did it to one of these brothers of mine, even the least of them, you did it to me.'"
- Matthew 25:40 NASB
“And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkled
blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.” - Hebrews 12:24 NASB
The cross takes another dimension

Then the cross takes on a much larger dimension
great, that is, to demonstrate the unalterable and unconditional
love of God, Jesus gave himself up, says: Do you love me?
104
to kill? So here I am. Mount Calvary is the sermon on the mount made flesh.
“But I say to you: do not resist him who is evil; rather, whoever slaps you on
the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And whoever wants to sue you
and take your tunic, leave him your cape too. And whoever forces you to go one
mile, go with him two.” -
To anyone who asks you for something, give it to him, and whoever takes
what is yours, do not ask for it. - Luke 6:30 NIV
“Nobody takes my life, but I give it up because I want it that way.

I have the power to lay down my life, and I have the power to receive it
again, for this is what I learned from my Father” - John 10:18 TLA
The cross is Jesus turning the other cheek, the cross is Jesus
giving his life to the one who wanted to take it away, the cross is carried by
Jesus beyond physical pain, the cross is the Father loving the world even when
his beloved son was killed, to Jesus. So if he still didn't stop loving us, what
could separate us from his love?
“Because I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor what is present, nor what is to come, nor powers, nor height,
nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the
love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39 NASB
105
Christ condemned by the law

We conclude then that the law that demands blood to
Forgiving sin is the law of the homicidal heart, the wrath of Satan
that is satisfied by sacrificing the son of God, that is why he is
homicidal from the beginning. On the Cross this intention of the
human heart is exposed.
“Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, the mother of
Jesus: 'This child is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in
Israel, and to create much opposition. In order that the intentions
of many hearts may be revealed, As for you, a sword will pierce
your soul”” - Luke 2:34-35 NIV
"The Jews answered him: We have a law and, according to

our law, he must die, because he made himself the Son of God." -
John 19:7 KJV
That law is fulfilled in Christ when he is condemned and

dead, by the law of condemnation and death. According to this
law the only way to forgive is by shedding blood.
“And according to the law, almost everything is purified with blood,

and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” - Hebrews 9:22 NASB
But God does not need blood to forgive us, NO! Christ on
the Cross was not reconciling God with the world, it was God
reconciling, attracting, making peace, showing the world that they
were forgiven, healing the world's anger against Him, letting the
wrath of man
106
infused by Satan was satisfied in their son, so that they could open their
eyes and see that God always loved them.
"That God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting
men's sins against them, and entrusted to us the ministry of reconciliation." -
On the cross he was not settling accounts for sins, nor satisfying his
wrath like the pagan gods. Peace has been made, He did not take sins into
account, he never took them into account because love...
"...He does not get irritated or keep a record of the offenses received." -
1 Corinthians 13:5 NLT
107
Chapter 7
CONFESSION OR CONDITION?
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our

sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9 JB
slave mind
The Emancipation Monument (also known
as "Monument to Freedom" founded in 1876 in
Lincoln Park shows a kneeling man who represents the last
man held under the fugitive slave law of 1850, who breaks
the chains of slavery as Lincoln recites the Emancipation
Proclamation.
109
The statue shows a curious situation, the slaves so long

accustomed to serving as such, and feeling themselves inferior,
are now invited to take their place as human beings worthy of
their rights and dignity.
Lincoln reaches out to stop him in the act.
“I no longer call you servants, because the servant does not know what his master
is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you all that
I have heard from my Father.” - John 15:15 NASB
This is exactly what is happening today, Christians still

when God claims to have freed them from the land of slavery,
they continue to live as slaves, begging for the Lord's goodness,
trying to obtain God's forgiveness and compassion at the cost
of sacrifices, confessions and regrets.
In Washington DC there is a huge memorial statue of

Abraham Lincoln. Unveiled on May 30, 1922, the statue is
composed of 28 blocks of white Georgia marble and rises 30
feet (9.1 meters) from the ground, including the 19-foot (5.8-
meter) seated figure (with armchair and footrest) on a height
of 3.4 meters (11 feet) high pedestal. The statue weighs 159
metric tons (175 US tons).
110
From 1959 to 2008, the Lincoln Memorial was

displayed on the reverse of the United States one cent coin,
which bears Lincoln's portrait bust on the front. The statue of
Lincoln can be seen on the monument. This was done
to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
It tells the story of a boy who collected 25 cents of

this coin, and went to the monument just in front of the
statue, then spoke to the guard who was there and said:
- I have 25 cents to buy the statue - The guard admired
by such a request smiled and explained that he could not
buy the statue, he said: - You can not buy the statue
because 25 cents are not enough to pay the price, secondly
the statue is not for sale, and the last reason is because it is
already yours! It belongs to every American citizen and that
includes you.
111
Just like this child, we come to God with our 25

cents of confession, to get what is infinitely expensive, but at
the same time free, God's love, his eternal forgiveness, and
his goodness, all belong to us. The statue with its great measures
of length, width, and height cannot be
Compare with your love.
“So let Christ dwell in your hearts through faith; and that
rooted and grounded in love, you may be fully able to
understand with all the saints what is the breadth, length,
height and depth of the love of Christ that surpasses
all knowledge, so that you may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV
If we confess, does God forgive?

Still and everything is taught today very emphatically to
confess sins as a condition to be forgiven, which seems to be
contradictory with the deep reality of eternal forgiveness given
by God once for all, so we are going to study this topic together.
Am I forgiven before or after confessing? What is confession
and what is it for?
The most common text used as a condition for

forgiveness is 1 John 1:9. with the conditional “if” we confess.
But let's review this text in its context and then individually.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves

and the truth is not in us. If we confess (G3670)
112
our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we
make him seem like a liar and his word is not in us.” -
1 John 1:8-10 NASB
G3670 - homologated: I will confess,

declare, pronounce the same, speak the
same, reach an agreement, say the
same, hence homologate.
The Greek expression to confess means to say the

same as God, in other words, what the text says is that God forgives
us and exempts us from all evil, and before that we can say: Why do
you forgive me if I have not sinned? in this way we deceive ourselves,
we do not speak the truth and we make him look like a liar, "his word is
not in us" that is, we do not say the same as him. But,
on the other hand, we can say that we did need to be forgiven

and declare that we have sinned and yet God forgave us, in this way
we justify God for having forgiven us.
Now it seems that a legal matter is at stake here,

since the words "Faithful and Righteous" in Greek are used as
legal terms of a trial, where if the accused happens to be
guilty, his statements are seen as lies, but if the witnesses testify the
same as him, then his testimony is taken and he proceeds as "faithful
and just". Let's see how Paul
113
he explains this matter of God as brought to a Judgment where he uses the

terms "faithful and just."
"So what? If some were unfaithful, will their unfaithfulness nullify God's
faithfulness? No way! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be
found a liar; as it is written, THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR
WORDS, AND OVERCOME WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED.” - Romans 3:3-4 NASB
Incredible Is God under a Judgment? Let's review the

context from which the reference to the scripture Paul quoted is drawn.
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your mercy;

According to the multitude of your mercy erase my rebellions. Wash me more
and more of my wickedness, And cleanse me of my sin. Because I know
my rebellions, And my sin is always before me.
Against you, against you alone I have sinned, And I have done evil before your
eyes; So that you may be recognized as righteous in your word, And
considered pure in your judgment.” - Psalm 51:1-4 KJV
The context is a confession, but not to get God's forgiveness but so

that God can be successful in his judgment, and his word is taken as faithful, true
and just. Since this confession is about the sin with Bathsheba committed a year
ago, however, when did God forgive that sin? A year later? If David died in battle
during that year, did he die forgiven or unforgiven? Right after committing the
crime and adultery David is visited by Nathan the prophet, then Nathan makes a
startling statement.
114
“Then David said to Nathan: - I sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said
to David, The Lord also has forgiven your sin; you will not die" -
2 Samuel 12:13 KJV
Nathan says it in the past tense, that is, he knew that God had
already forgiven him long before. So David a year later is unburdening his
guilt, but he understands that God has already forgiven him, and to justify
God by forgiving him, he confesses. Someone will ask Can we justify God?
God is judged
"And all the people and the publicans, hearing him, justified God,
being baptized with the baptism of John." - Luke 7:29 KJV
And what did John's baptism consist of? precisely

in confession, not to be forgiven but to justify God.
“And confessing (G1843) their sins, they were baptized by him (John) in
the river Jordan.” - Matthew 3:6 NASB
G1843 - Exhomologeo: confessing, I praise, I will confess, reach

an agreement, confess openly and joyfully.
eksomologéÿ (from 1537/ ek, "fully out", denoting intensity;
and from 3670/ homologéÿ, "to say the same thing about [something]") -
properly, to fully agree and acknowledge openly (with all one's heart)
for a given result: confess ("openly declare") without reservation
(without holding back)
115
It is not a sad and private confession sin for sin,

it is open and joyful, this is the same word that Paul uses to say that
every tongue will confess Jesus as its Lord, the one who frees them
from their sins does not confess sin, they do not praise sin but Jesus.
“For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall praise (G1843) God.” - Romans 14:11 NASB
“By myself I have sworn, a word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness
that will not be revoked: That before me every knee will bow, and every
tongue will swear allegiance.” - Isaiah 45:23 NASB
"That at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, in heaven

and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess (G1843) that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” -
Philippians 2:10-11 NASB
Our motivations change dramatically when

we realize that God is the one who is being judged for having forgiven
us, it is not you who is at risk but the Justice of God in front of the universe.
Your motivations are no longer focused on you, on whether you are lost or
saved, but on Him, on his honor, on his justice. He has already saved your
life, He has already justified you, now there is a bigger issue and it is his
justice. Paul explains it this way in the same chapter of Romans 3 known
as the Magna Carta of justification by faith.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but are justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
whom God set as the propitiation
116
through faith in his blood, to manifest his righteousness, because

he patiently overlooked past sins, with a view to manifesting his
righteousness at this time, so that he may be righteous, and he
who justifies him who is of the faith of Jesus.” -
Romans 3:23-26 KJV
It turns out that all sinned, but all were freely

justified, God overlooked past sins, by believing in it we confess
and declare and manifest that He is just by forgiving us, that is,
our faith and confession gives God the legal right, our consent that
we were sinners and we appreciate being forgiven even though you
didn't ask us first.
Satan with his false justice that every sin must

being punished and every good deed rewarded, accuses God of
being a liar and unjust in choosing to forgive us, then he is brought
to a trial where we are the witnesses. And by declaring, by confessing
the very truth that he has said, he can be faithful and just in forgiving
us.
“I, I am the one who erases your rebellions for my own sake, and I
will not remember your sins. Remind me , let us enter
judgment together; you speak to justify yourself (me).” -
Isaiah 43:25-26 KJV
Awesome text! even in the context that is written, it

expresses a situation even greater than that of Israel at that time,
Isaiah 43 says that we are created for his glory, that we are his
witnesses. For his own honor and glory he chooses to forgive you,
because his character is love, and he will never be forgiven again.
117
remember your sins, but make him remember, confess in judgment, so

that he can justify you.
For the honor of the Father
It is about saying: I have sinned, he forgave me and

I remember not for you to forgive me, but to say that I really
thank you and that I needed that forgiveness. Thus we can see that:
It is the glory of God that is on trial that is why we see that forgiveness for
us is expressed as out of love for Himself to His glory and character.
“Saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give him glory, because the hour
of his judgment has come; worship him who made heaven and earth, the
sea and springs of water” - Revelation 14:7 NASB
"O LORD, for your name's sake, forgive my iniquity, for it is great." -
Psalms 25:11 NASB
“Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver
us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.” -
Psalms 79:9 NASB
Man's discretion makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook
offense. - Proverbs 19:11 NASB
It is not about giving glory to God because if not he will

condemn you in the judgment, but because he is being judged. It goes far
beyond confessing particular sins, it is about confessing Jesus as Lord
and we know from scripture that
118
God will triumph in the judgment since all will confess his name, and
this is for his glory.
“All who are called by my name; and for my glory I raised them; I
formed them and made them” - Isaiah 43:7 KJV1569
In this way, God invites us not to fight and cry for our
sins, but to give glory and praise to Him, while He is in charge of
cleaning us, healing us, justifying us, saving us and loving us. Not
confessing our sins, but his perfect justice, since we are transformed
into what we behold, then if we look at our sins, our conduct will
result in what we confess we are and see, but if we take our eyes
off ourselves, we cast off sin and we look at the glory of God as if it
were our own, and we confess it we will be transformed.
"Therefore we all, beholding with unveiled face as in a mirror

the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord." -
"Therefore, we too, having around us such a great cloud of

witnesses, let us cast off all weight and the sin that assails us,
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, keeping
our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the reproach,
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” - Hebrews 12:1
He sat! it means that he is resting from a

finished work and not only this, but also sat us down
119
together with Him, this gives us the security of eternal

forgiveness, as we saw in chapter 4, it gives us a perfect
conscience, God does not hate sin, but ignores it, overlooks it,
makes it cease to be. So our part is to praise and make room for
his perfect work. Let us see how the following text fits into this if
we carefully examine the meaning of its words.
The one who covers up and the one who confesses
"He who covers his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses
(H3034) and turns away (H5800), will find mercy." -
Proverbs 28:13 KJV
H3034: I will praise, praise, praise, to launch

to, to revere, adoration.
H5800: Make way, they left, left, left, to

loosen up, give up, give permission, get out
of the way.
It is very interesting that the greatest number of

occurrences of the first word are in terms of praise, of
giving glory and the second does not refer only to turning
away from sin, but to giving it permission, making way for God to
take care of it. That is depending on Him and not on our strength.
120
“For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In rest and
in rest ye shall be saved; in quiet and in confidence will be your
strength; and you did not want.” - Isaiah 30:15 KJV
The confession of our sins may give us some peace of

mind, but like the sacrifices that were a constant reminder of sin,
confession becomes a form of salvation by works, if we intend to
obtain God's forgiveness through it. . If you feel comfortable like this,
then talk to God about your sins, but keep going, don't look back, if you
fell, entrust your entire life to God and He will work in you, but don't get
distracted looking at your falls. Notice what the original Hebrew text
says in the following verse:
“My sin unto you (ÿ ÿÿÿ ÿÿ ÿÿÿ H859: you) I declared( ÿÿÿÿ ÿÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿH3045: you
know, you know), and I did not cover my iniquity. I will confess, I said, (against
myself) my transgressions to Jehovah; and you forgave the wickedness of my sin. (Selah.)”
Psalms 32:5 KJV
Sin or Christ before me?

Let's see how God changes David's gaze, and moves it
from always having sin in front of him to putting his eyes on God, in
this way God teaches David's conscience until he leads it to
perfection.
“For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.” -

Psalms 51:3 NASB
121
“I will bless Jehovah who advises me; Even at night my conscience teaches
me. I have always set the Lord before me; Because he is at my right hand, I
will not be moved.” - Psalms 16:7-8 KJV
Now seated with Christ, we are accepted in the beloved,

before our sins were always on our conscience, now God whispers every
moment that we are forgiven, and that leads us to look at Him always, to have
Him before us and not our sins.
God does not see sin in humanity, let's see an example in which the
people of Israel, was in idolatry and murmuring against Jehovah, then when God
puts a blessing on the lips of Balaam who was going to curse them says the
following:
“He has not noticed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has he seen wickedness in Israel.
The LORD his God is with him, and the joy of a king is in him.” -
Numbers 23:21 KJV
Despite their sins, God saw them as clean and sinless, just as
He sees all mankind, clean and forgiven.
If you still do not see that confession is necessary before God forgives you,
remember with me the parable of the prodigal son, the son prepares his
confession to be accepted by the Father, and carries the learned speech.
“I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son;
make me like one of your hired men.” - Luke 15:18-19 KJV
122
We see that there are 3 points. First to confess that he has

sinned, second that he is not worthy to be his son, and third to be one of his
hired hands. The latter seeks to obtain the favor of the Father based on works
and work, just as the eldest son did, who, even though he was a son, lived as a
servant, not as a son, but let's see what happened.
“And getting up, he came to his father. And while he was still a long way
off, his father saw him, and was moved with mercy, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against
heaven and against you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But
the father said to his servants: ``Bring out the best robe, and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.” - Luke 15:20-22 KJV
What happened to the third part of the speech? The father

interrupts his confession and shows him that he is welcome and loved
as a son, moreover, not only does he not let him finish the confession,
but when he was far away he ran to him to hug and kiss him. When does
Jesus forgive you? Before or after confessing? The parable speaks for itself.
Whether you believe it or not, whether you want to confess or not, you are still a
son loved by Papa God.
123
Chapter 8
Repent sinner!
"Or do you underestimate the riches of his kindness, tolerance and

patience, not knowing that God's goodness leads you to repentance?"
Romans 2:4 NASB
The worst translated word

It's kind of funny, but it's true, most of the
preachers make a strong emphasis, that you must repent of
your sins, how angry God is with you for how dirty you are, men and
women are heard on the street corners with megaphones, talking about
hell and showing a threatening God. Before this ministry of condemnation,
unless it is out of fear, no one comes, no one wants to hear, everyone
goes their way. Does the gospel reveal the sin of man?
"For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed by faith and

for faith, as it is written: But the just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:17 NASB
Paul assures it: it is NOT the sin of man that reveals the
gospel, whoever preaches the gospel will speak of the authentic justice
of God, which is his loving character, the fulfillment of the law of
freedom and love in the person of Jesus Christ .
125
Therefore, there is the ministry of death and damnation

that can lead people to approach out of fear, but on the other hand,
the one of justification is much more grandiose, the one that highlights
not the sins, but the justice of God as we have already studied it.
“For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does

the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.” - 2 Corinthians 3:9 NASB
Now, much is said about repenting so that God forgives you

and if you do not repent God will not forgive you or act kindly towards
you, because just like confession, we will make a thoughtful and deep
study of this matter.
We could start with John the Baptist who preached repentance.
“Repent (G3344), because the kingdom of heaven has drawn

near.” - Matthew 3:2 NASB
G3340 - Metanoia: To change one's mind

or purpose, change one's mind.
The word repent or Metanoia in Greek is commented on

by different scholars throughout history, let's see what church fathers,
reformers, scholars of a few centuries ago and current scholars say.
126
ÿ “Bradus used to say that (“Metanoia” as “repentance”) is the

worst translation of the NT, the problem is that the word
repent means “repent again from the Latin repoenitet
(impersonal). John did not ask the people to be sorry, but
to change (think later) their mental attitudes (metanoeitas)
and their conduct. The Vulgate has it "do penance" and
Wycliff has followed it." Robertson Bible Commentary ,
Pictures, Word Metanoia Matthew 3:2
ÿ FF Bruce: He says that this is John's great word and it has

been hopelessly mistranslated. The tragedy of this is
that we do not have a single word…that exactly reproduces
the meaning and atmosphere of the Greek word.) John was
a new prophet with the call of the old prophets: “Return” (Joel
2:12; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 33:11 Ezekiel 33:15) FF Bruce
Old and New Testament Bible Commentary
ÿ Joseph Butler: “In the Greek there is neither sadness nor

regret, translating metanoia as regret is an absolute
mistranslation, that no word can adequately convey the
Greek meaning.”
Let's see that the Bible presents that godly sorrow may
accompany repentance or produce it, but that sorrow is not
repentance itself.
“Because the sadness that is according to the will of God

produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret;
but the sadness of the world produces death.” - 2 Corinthians 7:10 NASB
127
ÿ AT Robertson: “Translating Metanoia as repentance is a linguistic

and theological tragedy”
ÿ Robert N. Wilkin: Latino parents translated Metanoia as

Penitence. Or acts of penance.
ÿ Martin Luther: “The word Metanoia should retain the classical

meaning of the Greek word as “CHANGE OF MIND” OR
"A CHANGE OF MIND"
ÿ Tertullian: “In Greek Metanoia is not a confession of sin but a

change of mind.”
Repent, the kingdom has drawn near

Now that we understand that the word regret
It has nothing to do with crying, confessing, lamenting, or
surrendering some sin, but with a change of opinion, a mental transformation
and a way of thinking about something or someone. We have to ask
ourselves, why is it given as an argument to repent that the kingdom is near?
Perhaps Jesus speaking of the same thing gives us more clues.
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent
and believe the gospel.” - Mark 1:15 NASB
In the call to change your mind we are also told to believe in

the gospel, that is, change your mind and believe the good news of the
kingdom.
128
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as
a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. -
Matthew 24:14 NASB
In what sense is the approaching kingdom good news? Does it

mean that it is on the way? And if so, when will it arrive? Why does Jesus,
referring to himself, affirm that he has already arrived?
“The Pharisees having asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come,
he replied: “The Kingdom of God comes without being felt. And they will not say:
"See it here or there", because the Kingdom of God is already among
you.” - Luke 17: 20-21 BJ
Note that neither John nor Jesus are preaching that

is on its way, then what does it mean: "The kingdom is at hand"? Let's
see how it is better understood by specifying a little more.
"Heal the sick who are in it, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near
to you.' - Luke 10:9 NASB
This was revolutionary for the time, just as in paganism the

predominant mental conception about the gods was to see them remote, distant
and full of conditions, sacrifices, offerings, etc. To get closer to them, the
Pharisees, showed God full of conditions before the people, a God who does
not approach sinners, unless they offer sacrifices and crude laments for their
sins.
129
Look for the lost until you find it

But the gospel of Jesus says that we do not have to seek
and persecute the kingdom, but that the kingdom has come closer
to us, that not deserving divine favor, heaven took the initiative to
come to the side of the human being to save him, to heal him , to
forgive him.
“And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man
receives sinners and eats with them. Then He told them this
parable, saying: What man of you, if he has a hundred sheep and
one of them is lost, does not leave the ninety-nine in the field and
go after the one that is lost until he finds it? - Luke 15:2-4 KJV
In such a simple way, Jesus breaks the mental

structures created by the Pharisees and shows a God who takes
the initiative, who diligently looks for the lost sheep, who puts it on
his shoulders and takes it back home, it is truly beautiful. , the
sheep does nothing to return, it is powerless; Jesus goes looking for
her until he finds her. He comes to sinners as it was in the beginning
when Adam and Eve sinned. The Old Testament handles this
concept as well.
There are two Hebrew words that translate as

search, one tells us about searching diligently, of making efforts
to find, and the other is only about consulting or asking. The first
always applies to God looking for man and the second always to
man looking for God, let's see two examples of each:
130
:H1245 - baqashÿ ÿ ÿÿ ÿ :H1875 - darashÿ ÿ ÿÿ ÿ

strive to find Ask, consult, be attentive
“I have gone astray like a lost Seek (H1875) the LORD

one back to the fold; I will God, and your heart will live.”
bandage the broken, and Psalms 69:32 KJV
strengthen the weak” Ezekiel 34:16 KJV
We can also make the comparison when

we find the two words in the same text.
“Then Saul said to his servants: Find me (H1245. Strive to find) a

woman who is a medium to go consult her (H1875 Ask, consult, be
attentive). And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman at
Endor who is a medium.” - 1 Samuel 28:7 NASB
“From there you will seek (H1245. Strive to find.) the LORD your
God, but you will find him if you seek him (H1875 Ask, inquire, be
attentive) with all your heart and with all your soul.” -
The last text is surprising, it tells us that it is not

necessary to look for it as if it had hidden from us,
131
or as if our good shepherd had been lost, it is enough simply to

be attentive, when he arrives to look for us.
Repentance a gift So it is
always God who takes the initiative, with repentance it is exactly
the same, it is not man who gives his repentance to God in exchange
for forgiveness, but God who gives repentance and forgiveness to man .
“This man God has exalted with his right hand to be Prince and Savior,
to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” -
Acts 5:31 KJV
But not only to Israel:

“And when they had heard these things, they kept silent and glorified
God, saying, Therefore God has also given repentance to the Gentiles !
for life!" - Acts 11:18 KJV
“Solemnly testifying, both to Jews and Greeks, of repentance

toward God , and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
- Acts 20:21 NASB
We can conclude then that no one can produce a true

repentance, a true change of opinion if God does not give it to them first.
"John answered: A man cannot receive anything unless it is

first given to him from heaven" - John 3:27 KJV
132
Now the question is, how does God go about producing

that regret in people's hearts? With threats? With accusations?
Warnings, punishments and reproaches? Paul speaking to those who
believe that with all these things they will be able to make others and
themselves repent, says the following:
“And do you think this, O man, you who condemn those who practice such
things and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do
you underestimate the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not
knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” - Romans 2:3-4 NASB
God's love, patience and kindness are enough to lead us to

repentance, we should not underestimate God's love, thinking that it is
necessary to judge and preach condemnation to get people to repent,
moreover, when we do this we only condemn ourselves to ourselves.
On the other hand, understanding the meaning of the word

repentance, looking at the goodness and patience of God, changes our
perspective on him, as well as seeing that God takes the initiative, transforms
our way of understanding the kingdom, brings us good news. In our mind is
no longer the image of a violent God, full of anger and condemnation for us,
but one complete in forgiveness, perfect in love, eternal in mercy, infinite in
patience.
“Therefore I spoke what I did not understand; things too

wonderful for me, that I did not understand... I have heard of you only from
133
heard, but now my eyes see you. That's why I take it back, and I regret it
in dust and ashes.” - Job 42:3, 5 and 6 NASB
“And renew yourselves in the spirit of your mind, and put on the
new man, created according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Therefore, putting aside falsehood, each one speak truth with his neighbor;
because we are members one of another.” -
Ephesians 4:23-25 KJV
"And do not adapt to this world, but transform yourselves by

renewing your mind, so that you may verify what is the will of God that
is good, pleasing and perfect." - Romans 12:2 NASB
True God, true regret

This is true repentance. It is about changing the mental image
that we have of God, in coming to understand that we knew him vaguely
and only in part, but that now we dimension something of that infinite and
incomprehensible love.
“For in part we know, and in part we prophesy; but when the perfect
comes, then what is in part will end" -
1 Corinthians 13:9-10 KJV
"But God, having passed over the times of this ignorance, now
commands all men everywhere to repent." -
Acts 17:30 KJV
In this way we see that everyone can receive God's love for them,
and come to understand the great love,
134
that now new information has come through the person of Jesus Christ,
the son of God has fully revealed to us the character of the Father,
therefore everyone is invited to change their thinking about who God is.
“No one has ever seen (G3708) God; the only begotten God, who is in the
bosom of the Father, He has made him known.” - John 1:18 NASB
G3708 - Horao: He understood, to

see, understand, perceive, pay attention to
No one in history understood the character of God, only Jesus

exposed it correctly. Now how is it that we can do to reveal the goodness
of God and that goodness lead us to repentance?
“No one has ever seen God (G3708) . If we love one another, God
abides in us and his love is perfected in us. "
1 John 4:12 NASB
That when you see your brother make mistakes

shameful, do not undress him with your criticism, with your judgments,
with your looks of disdain, pay attention: Love your brother, accept him,
receive him as if he had never fallen, lift him up, encourage him, and when
they see redemption and unconditional forgiveness, smiles sincere, then
they are liking the real
love.
135
“And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but kind
to all, able to teach, long-suffering, tenderly correcting those who
oppose him, for thus God gives them the repentance that leads
to full knowledge of the truth, and returning to yea, escape from
the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.” -
2 Timothy 2:24-26 NASB
The expression coming to himself reminds us, as the son

Prodigal, commemorating a little piece of his father's love,
decided to return.
"And coming to himself, he said: How many laborers in my father's

house have plenty of bread, and here I am starving!" -
Luke 15:17 KJV
Peter and Judas didn't tell you everything

What perhaps is not what Jesus did with each one of
us? Let us remember the traitor Judas and the cowardly Peter. Do
you think Jesus waited to see them come repentant to forgive
them? Or was it forgiveness and tender compassion that moved them?
What came first, their repentance or God's forgiveness?
"Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it is written about him, but woe
to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would be good for
that man if he had not been born. Then, Judas answering, the one who
was going to deliver, he said: - Is it me, Master? He said: - You said it "
- Matthew 26:24-25 KJV
136
Jesus never did anything without an intelligent purpose. What

is his goal in telling Judas that he knew he would betray him?
Demonstrating his powers of knowledge of the future, reproaching Judas
beforehand? What is your intention?
"This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the
forgiveness of sins" - Matthew 26:28 NASB
Now Jesus raises a cup that symbolizes forgiveness,

then what it does is amazing:
"And taking the cup, and having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "
Drink from it, all of you" - Matthew 26:27 KJV
Everyone drink from the cup of forgiveness, everyone! Except

Judas and Peter because they will betray me. That says? NO, Jesus is
saying to Judas: I know you will betray, but I forgive you.
Same for Peter. Let us remember that Jesus announces that he will deny him
3 times, but he also prays for him.
"Simon, Simon, see that Satan has claimed you to shake you
like wheat; but I have prayed for you so that your faith does not fail; and
you, once you have returned, strengthen your brothers. And Peter said to
him: Lord, I am willing to go with you both to prison and to death.
But Jesus said to him: I tell you, Peter, that the rooster will not crow today
until you have denied three times that you know me. -
Luke 22:31-34 NASB
Later when Peter denied him, he still hasn't

approached Jesus to repent or ask forgiveness, without
137
However, after resurrecting, Jesus cares to let him know that everything is
forgiven and that he was welcome.
“But go, tell his disciples and Peter: `He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there
you will see him, just as he told you.” - Mark 16:7 NASB
What water did the Samaritan woman drink?
This is the cup of unconditional love, that knowing what

what we will do and what we have done assures us forgiveness and
acceptance, this is the cup of infinite forgiveness that quenches our thirst,
that was the water that Jesus gave to the Samaritan woman at the well.
“But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst, but the
water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to
eternal life. The woman said to him: Lord, give me that water, so that I won't
be thirsty or come here to get it. He said to her: Go, call your husband and
come here.” - John 4:14-16 NASB
Did we skip something? Where is the water? The woman

She asks for that water to never be thirsty again and He tells her to call her
husband, what does that have to do with anything?
“The woman answered and said: I do not have a husband. Jesus said to her: You
have rightly said, 'I have no husband, because you have had five husbands,
and the one you now have is not your husband; in that you have spoken the
truth. The woman said to him, "Lord, it seems to me that you are a prophet." - John 4:17-19 NA
Notice the beautiful way in which Jesus says to that woman: I love
you. She used to Jews who despised the Samaritans. Even in her city she was
well known, with
138
security people talked about their failures in love.

But this Jew and prophet who knows his life does not despise it,
but talk to her and make her feel worthy and accepted
Unconditionally, that's amazing.
“And just then his disciples came, and they marveled that he was
talking with the woman; but none said: What do you ask? O: Why
are you talking to her? - John 4:27 KJV
By reading the story you can perceive that the woman no longer
she needed the pitcher for the water, she felt forgiven and
accepted once and for all, so she would never need to do anything
again to feel accepted, since Jesus, knowing all that she was, loved
her unconditionally, God himself loved her.
“Jesus loves you today regardless of your past, even regardless of

your future.”
Bastián Ángel (Book: God forgave the world)

Chapter 9
DO NOT FEAR ONLY BELIEVE
"But Jesus, after hearing what was said, said to the ruler of the
synagogue, Do not be afraid, only believe."
Mark 5:36 KJV
slaves of fear
Fear definitely makes us slaves, during the middle ages, the vast
majority of people paid indulgences to the catholic church, since otherwise
their souls would burn in hell for eternity, and although hell will not be a
topic that we will address in this book, it will be included in the following
ones.
“The man answered: —I heard that you were walking in the garden and I
was afraid, because I am naked; That's why I hid." - Genesis 3:10 NIV
Fear was the big problem from the beginning, that's what
that makes us turn away from God, reveals our false
conception of his character. On the other hand we have faith, and this
makes us free, since we can indeed trust someone who loves us, but
can you believe in someone you are afraid of?
On a certain occasion, Jesus went up with 3 of his disciples,

and was transfigured before them. Moses appeared, the
renowned founder of the Torah, and Elijah, in that sense
141
represent the law and the prophets, then Peter says that they can make
3 shelters, thus putting the law and the prophets on the same level of
authority or importance with the son of
God, but the heavenly Father interrupts:
“Then Peter, speaking, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; If

you want, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses, and
one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, behold, a luminous cloud covered
them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son , with
whom I am well pleased; hear him .” -
Matthew 17:4-5 NASB
That is, not listening to Moses or the prophets, but above them is
Jesus, if it is Him whom we should listen to, what is his message? Let us review
what it was that they should have heard from the lips of Jesus:
“When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and
they were very afraid. Then Jesus approached them, and touching them,
said: Arise and do not fear. - Matthew 17:6-7 NASB
Jesus' message will always be: fear not. In fact,

in the bible, the phrase "do not be afraid" appears 366 times, even for
leap years, every day of your life Jesus says do not be afraid, and gives
reasons such as: Because I am with you, because I am your God, or simply
because I am.
“And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the sea.
And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were disturbed, and said:
It is a ghost! And out of fear, they began to scream. But
142
Immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Take courage, it is I; fear not.”

- Matthew 14:25-27 NASB
The simple fact that it is God, that it is Jesus in front of whom

you are, is enough not to fear, because of how He is, because He is an
affectionate Father, because He loves you infinitely. Just think about it,
He knowing your future and your destiny tells you “Do not fear”, wherever
you are now, DO NOT FEAR, whoever you are with, do not fear, in the
emotional or physical situation that you are, DO NOT FEAR! God is and will
always be with you, you will never be abandoned by the one who loves you
most in the entire universe.
Imagine Jesus now putting his hand on your shoulder

and saying: do not be afraid, I know your past, I know exactly
where you are now and I see your future perfectly, I have a beautiful plan for
you, I am the one who was with you before and I will be until the end.
"...He laid his right hand on me, saying: Fear not, I am the first and the
last." - Revelation 1:17 NASB
Fear is the opposite of love and faith. To believe in God

it is knowing that He is good regardless of the circumstances.
Faith is eternal and firm because it is based on the Eternal, on the Love of a
God who has no change or shadow of variation, on God who is love and has
no darkness in his light. Fear does not come from God.
“For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love
and self-control.” - 1 Timothy 1:7 NASB
143
Fear, fear, cowardice make us slaves. We live and act

conditioned and coerced by our fears, fears and insecurities. This is not
how God wants you to live, he gave you the spirit of knowing Him as
daddy, that is what Abba means, if you are afraid, cry out!: “Daddy”.
"For you have not received a spirit of slavery to return again to fear,
but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, by which we cry:
Abba, Father!" - Romans 8:15 NASB
And this does not have to continue like this, that is not life. Christ
He came to free us from that slavery, He has the keys of death and
Hades (Hell).
“And free those who, through fear of death, were subject to

slavery throughout their lives.” - Hebrews 2:15 NASB
“Grant us that, delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may

serve him without fear, in holiness and justice before him, all our
days” - Luke 1:74-75 NASB
He has promised that you will serve him without being afraid
of him, without being afraid of your enemies, just as before you lived
your whole life subject to servitude out of fear, now you will be free to
serve him voluntarily and without fear, every day until eternity.
144
Cowards in the lake of fire

Do you want to guess who is the first in the list of the lake
of fire? No, they are not rapists, nor murderers, nor thieves, nor
adulterers, nor fornicators. They are the cowards!
"But cowards (G1169), unbelievers, abominable, murderers,

immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars will have their inheritance
in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
second death." - Revelation 21:8 NASB
G1169: intimidated, you fear and make

fear, fearful, cowardly, fearful of a loss.
It means that fear and disbelief are the great

issue. Just think of the number of preachers saying that unless
you repent you will burn in hell for all eternity, that is terrorism, it is
making people afraid of God, the Bible says they will have their
share, in the lake of fire. There is no space or theme to talk about
those who are afraid of loss and how they will pass through the lake
of fire, but even if you are one of them there is hope for you.
“For no other foundation can anyone lay than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation
with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, the work of each
will become evident; because the day will make it known, because with
145
fire will be revealed; the fire itself will test the quality of each
one's work. If the work of anyone who has built on the foundation
remains, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is consumed
by fire, he will suffer loss; yet he will be saved, though just
as by fire.” - 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 NASB
If our works are not done by faith in Christ, even though

they have a reputation for holiness, they are filth, they are wood,
hay, stubble. Paul explains to us how on the day of the Lord that
fire will reveal the quality of each one's works.
Only works done in Christ and love remain and are fireproof, but
self-righteous works to please God are loss. However, this is not a
message of fear, calm your heart, the end of the verse says that it
is through that fire that they will also be saved by Jesus Christ.
Now, could it be that Jesus spoke of this event? Of course

He did, speaking to the Pharisees who thought they were more
righteous than adulterers, prostitutes, and tax thieves:
“To some who trusted in themselves as righteous, and despised

others, he also spoke this parable: Two men went up to the temple
to pray: one was a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The
Pharisee, standing up, prayed with himself in this way: God, I
thank you that I am not like other men, thieves, unjust,
adulterers, or even like this publican; I fast twice a week, I give
tithes of everything I earn. But the publican, being far away, did
not even want to raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest,
saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner. I tell you that he went down to h
146
justified before the other; because whoever exalts himself will be

humbled; and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” -
Luke 18:9-14 KJV 1960
The works of justice of the Pharisee, are the systematic

tithe, strict fasting and he believes himself superior to the same people
listed in the lake of fire, however, in the apocalypse the first one that is
mentioned is him, he is also incredulous because his god is himself and
"they did not repent (they changed their minds) of the works of
their hands" - Revelation 9:20 RVR 1960, that is why he says that he
prayed with himself and not with God.
On the other hand, the publican thief knew that he was a sinner and
that he had no justice of his own, so he obtains the only one that is
really worth it: the justice of Jesus, which is why he went home justified
before the other.
“All the tax collectors and sinners came to Jesus to hear him; and
the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receives
sinners and eats with them.” - Luke 15:1-2 NASB
"...Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, tax collectors and

harlots enter the kingdom of God before you." - Matthew
21:31 NASB
Could it be that we are facing the mother of ironies, observing

that at the end of time sinners will be saved by grace, while the apparently
righteous and religious are left out?
“And I tell you, many will come from east and west and will recline
at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of
147
Heavens. But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into outer
darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” - Matthew 8:11-12 NASB
You cowardly Pharisees!

You may wonder, in what sense are the Pharisees
cowards? It is about looking at God with fear, like a severe Judge, pay
attention to the following parable that Jesus tells them:
“And another came, saying: `Lord, here is your mina, which I have
kept in a handkerchief; Well , I was afraid of you, because you are a
demanding man, who collects what you did not deposit and reaps
what you did not sow. He replied: 'Useless servant, by your own words I
will judge you. Did you know that I am a demanding man, that I pick up
what I did not deposit and reap what I did not sow? - Luke 19:20-22 NASB
Another parable shows us that they had a distorted image of God,

when Jesus symbolically makes them see how the cowardly spirit of the
Pharisees killed each prophet and finally his son. Then let them choose
their sentence without them knowing:
“He sent another group of servants, greater than the first; and they did
the same to them. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ``They
will respect my son. But when the tenants saw the son, they said
among themselves, ``This is the heir; come, let us kill him and
seize his inheritance. And laying their hands on him, they threw him out of
the vineyard and killed him. So when the owner of the vineyard comes,
what will he do to those tenants? They told him: He will take those wretches to
148
a regrettable end, and he will lease the vineyard to other farmers who will
pay him the fruits in due time.” - Matthew 21:33-41 NASB
Now Jesus answers them by showing that this will be his

end and understood that he was talking about them, however, his
cowardice is immediately manifested:
“When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they
understood that he was speaking about them. And when they tried to seize
him, they were afraid of the crowd, because they considered him a prophet.” -
Another text shows us that the Pharisees lived in fear, they were
not free and were always in fear of the
death.
“And if we say: `Of men, we fear the crowd; because all have John for a
prophet.” - Matthew 21:26 NASB
So the condemnation for them will come because of the image they
had of God, they did not believe in his true character, and they are given over to
the false image they have of God. In this way they are judged by their own words
and what they fear happens to them.
"What the wicked fears will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous
will be granted." - Proverbs 10:24 NASB
“The Pharisees heard it… And I tell you that for every vain word that men
speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment. Because
149
by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will
be condemned.” - Matthew 12:23 and 36-37 NASB
"Do not judge, for not being judged. Because with the judgment with which
you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be
measured to you.” - Matthew 7:1-2 NASB
It means that the ministers of condemnation,

whoever frightens his neighbor with ideas of fear, punishment, judgment,
for sins from which they themselves are not exempt, will have a judgment
according to their words and the god they preach. On the other hand, who
had words of encouragement, comfort, mercy and forgiveness for others, will
have the God of mercy judging at the mercy seat (Mercy Seat). This is the law
of freedom: God giving you the freedom to choose the God you want to serve.
“Thus speak and thus proceed, like those who are to be judged by the law
of liberty. Because the judgment will be without mercy for those who have not
shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.” -
James 2:12-13 NASB
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." -

Matthew 5:7 NASB
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you
will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.” - Luke 6:37 NASB
"Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges, for in
judging another you condemn yourself, because you who
150
you judge you practice the same things. And we know that the judgment
of God justly falls on those who practice such things” -
Romans 2:1-2 NASB
If they don't forgive your father either

Now, as you see, the judgment of God in which the
mercy is seriously convicting those who judge and do not love their
brother, those who condemn. Jesus mentioned to the Pharisees who his
"Father" was since this is the accuser:
“You belong to your father the devil and you want to do the wishes of
your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not
stood in the truth because there is no truth in him.” - John 8:44 NASB
Now notice how they are handed over to their own God in judgment:
“For if you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father

will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your father
forgive your transgressions.” - John 8:43-44 NASB
You noticed it! Jesus does not speak of the same father, one
is "your heavenly Father" and he is the one who forgives, but the one
who does not forgive only calls him "your father". Everyone who loves
and forgives is a son of the heavenly Father, but the one who does not
forgive, due to his characteristics, shows the god he adores, that is, the
god who does not forgive.
151
“I speak what I have seen with my Father; you, then, also do what
you heard from your father.” - John 8:38 NASB
“But I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you, so that you may be children of your Father who is in
heaven; because he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and
rain on the just and the unjust.” - Matthew 5:44-45
Now, someone who is very knowledgeable about his

Bible will remember that the Gospel of Mark contains the same text but
that it says that it is the heavenly Father who does not forgive. Here we
show what happens with that text:
"But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven
forgive your transgressions" - Mark 11:26 NASB
In view of this verse you will say that the above conclusion
was somewhat far-fetched and subject to assumption, but when
we examine the Greek papyri, and versions of the textual critics and
scholars of the biblical manuscripts, we can see that none of them
included the 26th verse of Mark. 11, this is because it was added later,
but Mark did not write it.
152

https://codexsinaiticus.org/en/manuscript.aspx?book=34&chapter=11&lid=e
n&side=r&verse=25&zoomSlider=0#34-11-25-23
As you can see, it immediately jumps from 25 to verse

27 and we have nothing in between, just as the best and
most prestigious Greek versions in the world omit this verse
among them: SBL GNT 2010, Nestlé GNT 1904, Westcott
and Hort 1881, Wescortt and Hort / (Variants NA27) ,
Tischendorf 8th edition.
153
The Greek Orthodox Church, which is one of the

most conservative in this regard, translates it without the
expression "heavenly" and only calls him "your father"
Greek Orthodox Church 1904 - Mark 11:26

"If you don't let go, neither will your father leave your transgressions." -
Mark 11:26 IOG 1904
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

Jesus automatically forgave those who had
front. In the book of Isaiah, forgiveness is burning coals, also in
Romans 12 and Songs 8; In Revelation 1 Jesus has eyes like flames
of fire, an example of this is when he saw the rich young man: the
Bible says that instantly "when he saw him, he loved him". So is there
any sin that Christ does not forgive? Let's review together the famous
text of the alleged unforgivable sin.
“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men,
and blasphemies whatever they may be” -
Mark 3:28 KJV
First of all, if someone wants to take the text literally and

To say that there is only one sin that God cannot forgive, you must
be true to your own logic and recognize that Jesus first said that all
sins will be forgiven men.
(Mark 3:28). Of course we will review the original
154
Greek, but the first point to note is that it literally says that
God will forgive all sins.
"But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit is never

forgiven, but is guilty of eternal judgment." -
Mark 3:29 KJV
Well, here again, are our translations of the

Bible the ones that trip us up and send us in the wrong
direction. Greek scholar David Bentley Hart's New NT
Translation translates Mark 3:29 this way:
“But whoever blasphemes against the Spirit – the Holy One – has no
excuse throughout the age, but is responsible for a transgression
in the age” [or perhaps “…is responsible for an eternal transgression.”
NTNT - David Bentley
Is there a sin that will “never” be forgiven? The word

"never" is not in the Greek! Note how the literal translation
below reads:
“Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has no pardon for the
aeon, but is subject to the aeonian penalty for sin' because, they
said, 'an unclean spirit, he has the' - Mark 3:29 CLT
"He who speaks evil in regard to the Holy Spirit has no

forgiveness, for the age, but is in danger of an everlasting age of judgment"
Mark 3:29 YLT
155
"Whoever insults the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness in himself .

himself, was long-standing, —but is guilty of a sin of
long-lasting age”- Mark 3:29 Roth.
In any case, the current Greek does not say

"unforgivable sin" but "is without excuse throughout the age..."
Big difference, the word "age" or "age" is the same that the
disciples mention when they ask Jesus:
“When Jesus left the temple and was going away, his disciples came to
show him the temple buildings. Answering him, he said to them: Do
you see all this? Truly I say to you, that there will not be left here stone
upon stone, that it will not be knocked down. And while he was sitting
on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him apart, saying, Tell us,
when will these things be, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of th
Matthew 24:1-3 KJV
What Jesus relates in response is the

destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70. The Romans besieged
Jerusalem and, to rescue the gold melted in the temple
fire, they removed every stone, thus fulfilling the words of Jesus.
In this case, the verse in Mark 3:29 never says "unpardonable

sin" at all. It says that he who blasphemes against the Holy
Spirit "...has no excuse in the age, but is responsible for his
transgression in the Age [to come]..."
Yes, Jesus is saying that those [standing before him

at that time] who accuse him of speaking of the Spirit of
Satan instead of the Spirit of God, they will end up suffering
156
as a result. But that suffering has more to do with cause and effect
related to the coming End of the Age that Jesus warns his people
to avoid. Not that this is "unforgivable" at all, rather the translation
tells us that they are the ones who have no forgiveness in their
hearts.
The very word blasphemy shows us that Jesus

It refers to the slow capacity to receive his teachings, by not
recognizing him and his message.
“G987 blasphÿméÿ: compound word (Blax/Pheme)

- Blax: "lazy, slow" and G5345
- Phÿmÿ: "reputation, fame"
Properly, refusing to recognize the good (worthy of
respect, veneration); therefore, to blaspheme = (invert
moral values).”
This is reflected in verse 30 which takes away all

mystery about this alleged unforgivable sin.
“Because they had said: He has an unclean spirit.” -

Mark 3:30 KJV
So it's just a statement about the

dangerous implications for those who refuse to listen to his
words or follow his teachings to love their enemy, bless those
who curse them, and do good to those who mistreat them; that is,
the Romans, who for example forced them to carry their cargo, to
which Jesus advised them:
157
"And anyone who forces you to go one mile, go with him two." -
Matthew 5:41 NASB
Jesus offered his people a way out of this destruction,

showing them how violent resistance to occupation would lead to more
violence and great bloodshed. Instead, Jesus recommended a course of
action that involved turning the other cheek and overcoming evil with love
rather than returning violence with more violence.
Jesus invited them to change their minds about their enemies, to

love them, to calm their anger with a soft response, calamities do not come
because they are more or less sinners, it is the result of their own sword and
violence, they reap what they sow. This is what Jesus meant when he said:
“On that same occasion there were some there who told him about the Galileans
whose blood Pilate had mixed with that of their sacrifices.
Answering Jesus, he said to them: Do you think that these Galileans were
sinners more than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this? I tell
you no; on the contrary, if you do not repent, you will all perish equally.
Or do you think that those eighteen, on whom the tower fell in Siloam and
killed them, were more debtors than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell
you no; on the contrary, if you do not repent, you will all perish alike.” - Luke
13:1-5
What Jesus said was fulfilled in the year 70 when Galileans and
inhabitants of Jerusalem, who were not Christians, died in the temple, and
their blood mixed with the
158
sacrifices, as the temple wall collapsed on them and they died just
like those they believed to be the most sinful.
The word aionion (“Century” or “era”) is subject to the

noun it modifies, it is only eternal if it complements God and his
attributes; it has to do with a duration of time, in the old testament it
was "Olam" and was attributed to cases such as sacrifices, which
although perpetual, ended with the coming of the messiah. For
example, it is not the same to say "The big dog" than to say "The big
building", in both cases we say big,
but the dimensions of the noun modify the adjective.
The great commentator William Barclay says the following about the
“Kolasis aionion” (Lasting Punishment):
“The Greek word for punishment is kolasis, which was originally

not an ethical word at all. Originally it meant the pruning of trees to
make them grow better. I think it is true to say that in all of Greek
secular literature kolasis is never used for anything other than
remedial punishment. The word for eternal is aionios.
It means more than eternal, because Plato, who may have invented
the word, clearly says that a thing can be eternal and still not be
aionios. The easiest way to find out is that aionios can't be used
correctly for anyone but God; it is the word only, as Plato saw it, of
God.” 3
3
[Quoted from William Barclay: A Spiritual Autobiography, pp. 65-67,
William B Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, 1977.]
159
So this punishment has to do with pruning so that the tree

can bear fruit. Our loving Jesus, in harmony with his words, after
mentioning Pilate and the tower of Siloam, tells the parable of a fig
tree that is pruned.
In this way it is biblically manifest that God

truly forgave the world forever, that if any concept of God
still holds a grudge, it is not God.
This is life!
Then knowing the true God becomes life
that God wants you to live, the more you know God you live in
greater freedom from fear, you live under grace, or in the words
of Peter, grace and peace are multiplied to the same extent that
we know Jesus.
“May the grace and peace of God be multiplied to you

through the knowledge you have of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Peter 1:2 NIV
The more you know God you will have greater peace and grace
in your life, in fact, this is eternal life in essence, you can live
eternal life today.
“And this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” - John 17:3 KJV
Then there is a true God, a true

Jesus Christ who is the only one who gives us the correct image and
160
complete of the Father, in this way whoever has that vision of God,
has eternal life.
“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us
understanding that we may know him who is true; and we are in him
who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal
life.” - 1 John 5:20 NASB
On the other hand, who does not have and does not believe
in that God lives under condemnation, the wrath of God is manifested by
giving the freedom to choose the false God, therefore, that implies
condemnation for those who choose the false god of condemnation.
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who rejects the Son
will not know what that life is, but will remain under God's
punishment." - John 3:36 CST
“And the testimony is this: that God has given us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have
the Son of God does not have life.” - 1 John 5:11-12 KJV
When we review the text of John 3:36 it tells us

always in the present continuous tense and the word punishment
is equivalent to anger, that is, that although God gave the world his
Son, he gave us all eternal life, since that is his testimony, which he has
given us in (past tense) eternal life, if we choose not to believe their
testimony we will not see life (we will enjoy that life), and being in the
present tense, the text tells us that if we do not believe today, we are not
enjoying (today), we live condemned in our hearts.
161
ETERNAL LIFE IS TODAY AND LIVING UNDER CONDEMNATION IS ALSO

THE SITUATION OF MANY TODAY.
Jesus explains to us why they are condemned and how many

live today in it:
“He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is
condemned already, because he did not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” -
John 3:18 KJV
He lives condemned and the reason is that today he does not

believe in the name: this is the character of Jesus, a forgiving character and full
of love, not condemnation.
But the text goes on to explain what damnation is and that it

is not about some future event but about a present reality:
"And this is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." -
John 3:19 KJV
They do not choose to live that life of light and love. Now, what are
those darknesses in which many are today?
“Whoever says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is still in darkness. He
who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no cause for
stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks
in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has
blinded his eyes.” - 1 John 2:9-12 NASB
162
In the end, eternal life is knowing and living in Jesus who is pure
love, this is light without any shadow. On the other hand, the condemnation
in which many continue to live is darkness, that is, hating their brother.
Those who live without forgiving or loving their brother are not happy.
“We know that we have passed from death to life because we love
the brothers. He who does not love remains in death.” -
1 John 3:14 NASB
You are about to continue your life in the light of eternity,

in the next chapter you will know how to live and enjoy eternal life. And if
you want it, I leave you the advice of an old friend, are you ready?
“Lay hold on eternal life” - 1 Timothy 6:12 JBS
163
Chapter 10
The gospel of the happy God
“According to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to
me.”
1 Timothy 1:11 KJV
Infinitely happy
The glory of God is his character, and if we speak of God

as infinite in love, we can conclude that He is infinitely
happy. Few talk about how much Jesus rejoiced, we often talk about
the man of sorrows, but we forget the continual joy set before Him.
Paul tells the Galatians that the fruit of the Spirit is love,
that is, there is only one fruit from which the other virtues flow, and
the first on the list is joy.
“Instead, the fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, faith, humility, and self-control. There
is no law that condemns these things." - Galatians 5:22-23 NIV
To a great extent, the glory of God and his love consist in the
fact that He is happier than we could ever imagine. This is the
gospel: "The gospel of the glory of God
happy (G3107)» 1 Timothy 1:11. The glorious happiness of God is the
good news.
165
Many of the versions of the bible translate the text

of 1 Timothy 1:11 as "The glorious gospel of the blessed God" but
the Greek word Paul uses is not blessing but happiness.
G3107 - Makarios: Blessed, joyful,

happy, joyful, happy.
This word is the same one used by Jesus in the famous

beatitudes where he spreads happiness for each person who cries, suffers
and has gone through hard situations in this world.
It includes us all, we have all cried and God can wipe away every tear and
draw a smile instead.
If anyone wants to include the word "blessing" as well
it appears in the new testament but it is not "Makarios", however,
according to the theme it has everything to do with it, since each person
in this world benefits from the joy of the happy God.
“You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made
with our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your seed all the families of the
earth will be blessed (G1757) . For you first of all, God, having raised up his
Servant, has sent him to bless you, in order to turn each one of you
from your iniquities.” - Acts 3:25-26 NASB
166
G1757-Eneulogeo: blessed, to confer

a benefit on, to bless. (Only two
occurrences)
“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
announced the good news to Abraham beforehand, saying: ALL NATIONS
SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOU (G1757) . -
Galatians 3:8 NASB
This is beautiful for every human being, it speaks to us of a future of

peace and not of evil, where we will find the end we yearn for; It fills us with
peace and joy in our hearts to be sure that when Jesus manifests himself, that
day you see him face to face He will not be angry, you will not see a frown for
you, you will see a smile of which you and only you will be the reason, when
Jesus looks into your eyes you will know that he loves you and is happy to see
you.
Let me enjoy with you, giving you the assurance of this in the last chapter of this
book and by the way, congratulations on getting here.
The Bible assures us that when Jesus appears

We will see a happy God in the clouds.
“...The manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, which the blessed and only
Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal in due time” - 1 Timothy
6:14-15 NASB
“Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great
God and Savior Jesus Christ” - Titus 2:13 NASB
167
It means that Jesus and his manifestation will be something blessed

and happy. Now those who will see him will also have that joy when he appears
who is not his executioner, but his savior.
“And it shall be said in that day: Behold, this is our God, we have waited
for him, and he will save us; this is Jehovah for whom we have waited, we will
rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” - Isaiah 25:9 KJV
Living today in the age to come

The love of God begins to flood your whole being and you enter
in the kingdom. If you remember well eternal life can begin today, we can
taste the virtues of the age to come today,
we can enter life today. As Jesus said to the rich young man when he asked
what to do to inherit eternal life, to keep the commandments is to love, it is to live
as one lives in the kingdom of God, this is what the kingdom of heaven consists
of.
"They tasted the good message of God and the power of the world to come" -
Hebrews 6:5 NIV
“...If you wish to enter life, keep the commandments.” -

Matthew 19:17 NASB
“For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace
and joy in the Holy Spirit.” - Romans 14:17 KJV 1960
And this is you chapter of my book only seeks to awaken you to the
call of your Lord. He wants you to know that you are saved, that
168
nothing can separate you from his hand, that's why by having you in his
arms there is only "the joy of salvation" Psalms 51:12.
“When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders full of joy and, when he
gets home, he gathers his friends and neighbors and tells them:
«Rejoice with me, because I have already found the sheep that I had lost!» -
Luke 15:5-6 BLP
"My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one
can snatch them out of my Father's hand." - John 10:29 KJV
Happier, richer and more beautiful

The joy of knowing that you are loved is very powerful, the
invitation is for today, today you can overshadow a past of darkness
and fill it with joy and light, because God is our light, that joy can heal so
many wounds, raise self-esteem, even make you look more attractive or
attractive.
"The happy heart nice the face; More because of the pain of the heart
the spirit is lowered.” - Proverbs 15:13 KJV
“A cheerful heart is the best medicine; a sad mood depresses the

whole body.” - Proverbs 17:22 KJV
According to research conducted by scientists at University

College London, "disabilities and health problems can be predicted by a
person's mental disposition."
169
The study shows that those who are happy enjoy

their life longer and live up to 10 years longer, but the most
surprising thing is that they live less stressed and, nevertheless, they
earn more money.
It makes sense that those who value their life will not waste it on
jobs that make them unhappy, nor will they live much of the years of their
lives in darkness, in the shadows of their traumas and lamenting how
unhappy they are, there is much to be thankful for, they are not always
meeting the expectations of others either, their life is not a script written by
someone else, they feel fulfilled by taking the lead and not as spectators.
And if you feel that you are not capable of living like this, do not continue
to fear, you were given the greatest strength.
“Furthermore, Ezra said to them, “Go home and celebrate this day!
Prepare good food, drink sweet wine and share with those who have
nothing prepared. No, do not be sad because the joy of the Lord is
our strength.” - Nehemiah 8:10 NIV
The joy of the Lord is that there is a happy ending full of

hope for you, that his sacrifice managed to achieve that, that you are
safe in his hand, that the Father is greater than all, that he looked to
the future satisfied with the results of his sacrifice.
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.” -
Hebrews 12:2 NASB
170
“He will see the fruit of the affliction of his soul, and he will be
satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and bear their iniquities.” - Isaiah 53:11 KJV
All the words full of love and compassion that Jesus spoke
are to share that joy with us, a perfect joy that does not vary with
circumstances, a radiant and unwavering joy like that of Jesus.
"These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,

and your joy may be perfect." - John 15:11 NASB
“Your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your

joy." - John 16:22 NASB
All this joy comes from how much he loves us, Jesus
became one with us, and when the Father speaks of Jesus he also
speaks of us, when we look at the baptism of
Jesus we see how the Father speaks to us through
our human and divine representative.
"And behold, a voice from heaven said: This is my beloved Son, in

whom I am well pleased." - Matthew 3:17 KJV 1909
"To the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has made us accepted
in the Beloved" - Ephesians 1:6 KJV
So you are his beloved son and he is happy, he rejoices with

immense love over you, Jesus enjoys and delights among people, he
loves spending time with you, even
171
when you avoid him and don't talk to him for weeks, months and maybe
years.
“I rejoice in the inhabitable part of your land; And my delights are with the
sons of men.” - Proverbs 8:31 KJV
“The world created by God fills me with joy; The humanity created by
God fills me with happiness!” - Proverbs 8:31 TLA
“For your God is with you and with his power he will save you.
Although he does not need words to show you that he loves you, with
songs of joy he will express the happiness that you make him feel" -
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
The full assurance that Jesus loves you infinitely,

that they are saved in his love, is the secret that kept the apostles firm
and always happy, they spoke of good news, of a happy God, they sang
to God but above all they knew that Jesus gave concerts dedicated to
each one expressing how much he loved them. he loves and that love
would have them all back home and in his arms.
“You, although you have never seen Jesus Christ, love him and believe in
him, and you have a joy so great and beautiful that words cannot describe
it.” - 1 Peter 1:8 NIV
“Jesus said to him, “Did you believe because you saw me? Happy are those who
trust me without having seen me!” - John 20:28 NIV
172
“As saddened, but always joyful; as poor, but enriching many;

as having nothing, yet possessing everything.” - 2 Corinthians 6:10
NASB
“Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my

salvation.” - Habakkuk 3:18 NASB
“Rejoice always... In everything give thanks, for this is the will

of God for you in Christ Jesus.” -
1 Thessalonians 5:16 and 18 KJV
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say: Rejoice!” -

Philippians 4:4 KJV
A happy ending
The certainty of a happy ending made them happy, they knew

At the end of the story, they saw how the good shepherd would
bring back the lost one and they celebrated that joy.
This is the great news that "God is love" - 1 John 4:8, and
we know that "love is joy" - Galatians 5:22, love rejoices in the truth
that he loves you.
"Love... does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth" -

“Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes
to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6 KJV
173
Love rejoices in Jesus, do not worry about whether or not

you are in the correct church, if you believe the correct or false doctrine,
if you are or not in the supposed "truth" because the truth is Jesus and
he said that those who followed him they would know what the "correct
doctrine" is - John 7:17 KJV, because those who seek to love will
rejoice when they are faced with that truth, and on the contrary, they will
not feel very comfortable facing a false image of God.
Dearly loved, dearly loved, you've reached this point in the book
and no, it is not a goodbye, but just a see you later, more books are
coming! the good news is much better than this. However, if today you
live with the certainty of forgiveness and salvation, if today you know
that you are more loved, this book has already fulfilled its purpose and
it is time to conclude. I want to thank you for reading it, for shedding
tears over it and many smiles and expressions of surprise, for living it,
for enjoying it. I am leaving you with one last invitation from an old
carpenter friend from Galilee, he wants to talk to you today…
"Enter into the joy of your master" - Matthew 25:23 KJV.
To be continue…

author's epilogue
Trilogy
If you enjoyed the book, I want to thank you for
purchasing it and sharing so many emotions with me. I
want to tell you that if you still have questions about God's
love, if there are still threats or stories that make you feel
that God can be cruel or vindictive, don't worry. Don't worry,
this is just the beginning of a trilogy of books. Soon we will
bring to light, part 2 and 3 of "Eternal love" "God protected
the world": In which we will review the bloody stories of
destruction and sword of the old testament in the light of the
love of Jesus, and the third work will be "God restored the
world": Where we will study the scope of redemption and
see the love of the Father like never before. also within
little we will deal with topics such as biblical threats

and the centrality of Christ in the scriptures.

About the Author

Bastián Ángel Cuevas Martínez, Chilean born on June 29, 1999. At the
age of 9 he began to be interested in biblical and doctrinal issues, he studied
Theology, but halfway through his career he encountered the revelation of Jesus
Christ, his entire doctrinal structure fell to pieces, he saw in Jesus more than a
religious system and a set of doctrines, he saw him as someone who loved him more
than he ever imagined, but not only him but everyone around him, he decided to
dedicate his life to showing the unconditional love message
He says, “I think I identify with Paul in calling himself the worst of sinners,
but I also identify with him when he abandoned all that righteousness by law, all his
Pharisaic wisdom and doctrinal and traditional scholarship, I say with him, that the I
count as rubbish, so long as I know Christ and the riches of his love.”
“But whatever was gain to me, I have counted as loss for Christ's sake. And
furthermore, I count all things as loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost everything, and count it as rubbish in
order to win Christ” - Philippians 3:7- 8 NASB
“Someone will say that I want to look like Pablo, to them I would say that
I am literally a carpenter son of a carpenter. But saving the differences and
leaving the ironies behind, I believe that we all have a career to follow with joy,
we all have the ministry of reconciling the world.” - Bastian Angel.
“But in no way do I esteem my life as valuable to myself, in order to be able to finish

my career with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to
solemnly bear witness to the gospel of the grace of God, to have the satisfaction of
having announced the good news of God's love." -
Acts 20:24 NASB/NASB
177
“For God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not

taking into account the sin of the people. And he gave us this
wonderful message of reconciliation.”-2 Corinthians 5:19 NLT
Bastián currently has a YouTube

channel (Bastián Ángel) that
reaches thousands of people,
many more than in his entire
theology career. He is married to
Julieta Alvarez of Argentine
nationality, together they have
plans to travel the world preaching
the message that "some call heresy" -
Acts 24:14
