O novo mundo
do jovem cristão













Há um grande
abismo que separa o mundo do jovem de Deus do mundo do jovem sem Deus.



?Eles não são
do mundo, como também eu não sou.? João 17.16



Ainda que o
jovem de Deus viva no mesmo mundo físico que os demais, o seu mundo espiritual
não se mistura com o daqueles.



O jovem de
Deus tem uma vida secular normal, pois ele trabalha, vai à escola, toma ônibus,
possui família como os demais jovens, porém está consciente de que não tem mais
parte com este mundo, isso se ele realmente teve um encontro com o Senhor
Jesus.



?E, assim, se
alguém está em Cristo, é nova criatura: as cousas antigas já passaram; eis que
se fizeram novas.? (2 Coríntios 5.17)



Então, se ele
está em Cristo é uma nova criatura, o que significa ?feito nova?, e não apenas
melhorada.



Muitos estão
totalmente enganados, quando pensam que já se converteram e tiveram um encontro
com Jesus, baseando-se apenas em algumas mudanças e melhoras na sua vida e
comportamento.



É como m
carro, por exemplo. Você já deve ter notado que , ano após ano, as empresas
automobilísticas costumam mudar a aparência de seus carros para incentivar
novas vendas e fazer com que o modelo do ano anterior pareça velho.



Assim, eles
pegam aquele modelo antigo e fazem umas pequenas mudanças, por exemplo: se o
farol era quadrado, eles põem um redondo e mudam também o luar da antena. Se o
pára-choques era liso, eles colocam um friso dourado, e assim por diante. O
resultado final é que o carro parece mais atraente, diferente, renovado. Porém,
se você olha por detrás aquele ?mudanças?, verá que é o mesmo carro do ano
passado apenas numa versão melhorada!



Assim,
existem muitos que apesar de dizerem que possuem Deus e que são cristãos, na
verdade não o são. Porque ainda que apresentem algumas mudanças no
comportamento e passem a cultivar melhores hábitos, contudo, no seu interior,
permanecem a mesma velha criatura, apenas uma ?versão melhorada? do que
costumavam ser.



Novo não
significa melhorado, recauchutado ou reformado. Novo é novo, o velho já não
existe.



Então, o novo
mundo do jovem cristão nada tem a ver com o seu velho mundo; se tem, é porque
este jovem nunca, de fato, nasceu de novo.
