The process of saving the saved. Fathers and Sons. The tragedy of carnal Christianity

“For although you have thousands of tutors in Christ, but not many fathers; I gave birth to you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Therefore I beseech you: imitate me as I am to Christ” (1 Cor. 4:15-16).

“My children, for whom I am again in the throes of birth, until Christ is portrayed in you!” (Gal. 4:19).

Fathers and Sons. Fundamental, yet an eternal theme. The future depends on their relationship. Not just an individual family or church. The future of the people depends on their relationship. If they find mutual understanding and a common language, the blessing of Abraham is guaranteed. But if suddenly they do not agree anymore and there will be bitterness and internal conflict, then nothing good will have to wait.

That is why God wants to turn the hearts of fathers to the hearts of sons so as not to smite the earth with a curse.

I don’t know to the end on whom generational linkage and continuity depend more. From the generosity and wisdom of the fathers, or from the obedience and dedication of the children. Probably from both taken together, but first of all, I think, from the fathers. To whom much has been given, much will be asked. Although the parental commandment to honor fathers and mothers applies exclusively to children.

So, on the agenda is the process of saving the saved, in which we cannot do without spiritual fathers.

Moreover, this is not only about the blessed existence on earth. What God has prepared for those who love Him in heaven is a thousand times more important question. The heavenly reality of God's born-again sons and daughters. What new rights and privileges await them there, because they are not only children of God, but also royal heirs in Christ Jesus. Without the founding fathers and spiritual pioneers, we can hardly figure it out.

The process of salvation of the saved does not end with events on earth. This is just the beginning. The final event of this process is the triumphal admiration of the Church on the territory of its eternal, heavenly heritage.
