Osija 14

Studie

   

1 Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svom, jer si pao svog radi bezakonja.

2 Uzmite sa sobom reči, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite Mu: Oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daćemo žrtve usana svojih.

3 Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, nećemo jahati na konjima, niti ćemo više govoriti delu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u Tebe nalazi milost sirota.

4 Isceliću otpad njihov, ljubiću ih drage volje; jer će se gnev moj odvratiti od njega.

5 Biću kao rosa Izrailju, procvetaće kao ljiljan i pustiće žile svoje kao drveta livanska.

6 Raširiće se grane njegove, i lepota će mu biti kao u masline i miris kao livanski.

7 Oni će se vratiti i sedeti pod senom njegovim, rađaće kao žito i cvetaće kao vinova loza; spomen će mu biti kao vino livansko.

8 Jefreme, šta će mi više idoli? Ja ću ga uslišiti i gledati; ja ću mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.

9 Ko je mudar, neka razume ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putevi Gospodnji, i pravednici će hoditi po njima, a prestupnici će pasti na njima.

68. 4. Various things concerning charity and good works (Revelation 2:4-5, 19, 26; 3:15).

Their works follow with them (Revelation 14:13).

That all are judged according to their works (Revelation 20:12-13).

The works of charity are taught in fullness by the Lord (Matthew 5,6, 7).

That the Son shall come in the glory of the Father, and He shall render to everyone according to his works (Matthew 16:27).

Thou shalt love God with the whole heart and the neighbor as thyself (Matthew 22:35-39).

Iniquity shall be multiplied and the love of many shall grow cold (Matthew 24:12).

Charity is to do rightly in every work, and no more, is clear from the teaching of John to those who asked questions (Luke 3:10-14).

They asked, What shall we do that we may work the works of God ? He answered, It is the work of God that ye believe in Him whom the Father hath sent (John 6:28-29).

A commandment of the Lord that they should love one another (John 13:34-35).

That John followed Jesus, and Jesus said, If I will that he tarry till I come (John 21:20, 22-23) signifies if the works of charity remain till the coming of the Lord.

Jehovah, Thou hast wrought all our works in us (Isaiah 26:12).
