Children, youth &fathers in first John

 Stages of relationship with God: 

*Children- *who understand that their sins are forgiven and they know God as their father

*Youngsters*- who have overcome evil on a day to day basis 

*Fathers*- those who know God ( who is from the beginning ) His nature, attributes, thoughts and testimonies ( which is basically the whole Old Testament) 


As a *Child of God*, growing up to the stage of a *father* who can guide others into this great loving journey is very important for which we should be faithful in walking as our Lord walked ( being a disciple) 


It is within a cycle (the father in Christ is essentially a child, while at the same time it is important that he is a youth in the fight against evil)

- Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar 


கடவுளுடனான உறவின் நிலைகள்: 

*பிள்ளைகள்*- தங்கள் பாவங்கள் மன்னிக்கப்படுகின்றன என்பதை புரிந்துகொண்டு, கடவுளை பிதாவாக அறிந்தவர்கள்

*இளைஞர்கள்* - நாளுக்கு நாள் தீமையை வென்றவர்கள் 

*பிதாக்கள்* - கடவுளை அறிந்தவர்கள் (ஆதிமுதல் இருப்பவரை) அவருடைய இயல்புகள், பண்புகள், எண்ணங்கள் மற்றும் சாட்சியங்கள் (அடிப்படையில் முழு பழைய ஏற்பாடு) 

 

கடவுளின் *குழந்தையாக*, இந்த மாபெரும் அன்பான பயணத்தில் மற்றவர்களுக்கு வழிகாட்டக்கூடிய ஒரு *தந்தையின்* நிலைக்கு வளர்வது மிகவும் முக்கியமானது, அதற்காக நம் இறைவன் நடந்ததைப் போல (சீடனாக) நடப்பதில் நாம் உண்மையாக இருக்க வேண்டும். 


இது ஒரு சுழற்சிக்குள் இருக்கிறது ( கிறிஸ்துவுக்குள் தகப்பனாக இருப்பவர் அடிப்படையில் ஒரு பிள்ளையும்கூட, அதே நேரத்தில் தீமைக்கு எதிரான போராட்டத்தில் அவர் வாலிபராக இருப்பதும் முக்கியம் )

When Ideologies Fail the Church: A Call to Holy Separation

  When Ideologies Fail the Church: A Call to Holy Separation By : Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar  (Editor- Pilgrim Echoes) Persecution against Christians in India is often treated casually—not because it is insignificant, but because it is  politically inconvenient . Those who blindly support the political agenda of the BJP tend to  downplay or justify  these incidents in the name of nationalism, law and order, or cultural pride. At the same time, this indifference becomes a  weapon in the hands of leftist and Dravidian ideologues , who exploit Christian suffering to inject fear, victimhood, and political dependency into the Church. Both reactions are dangerous. Both reduce the Church to a  pawn in ideological warfare . But the truth is far more uncomfortable for every political camp: 👉  No ideology truly protects the children of God. Christ Alone Stands With the Persecuted Church Scripture does not say that a party, movement, or government stands w...

Reclaiming Education as a Sacred Mission of the Church

  The Need of the Hour: Reclaiming Education as a Sacred Mission of the Church In a time when India’s government school system is facing a staggering crisis — with over 89,000 government schools shut down, including a decline of 29,410 in Madhya Pradesh and 25,126 in Uttar Pradesh as reported by Hindustan Times — there arises a clarion call for the Church in India to awaken from its long slumber and reclaim education not as a secular endeavor, but as a holy service to the nation. This is not just a statistic; it’s a national emergency. A Historical Reminder: Education as a Christian Legacy India owes much of its modern educational foundations to the selfless and visionary work of Christian missionaries. Men and women like William Carey, Alexander Duff, Amy Carmichael, and Ida Scudder saw education not merely as a tool for literacy, but as a means to reveal the light of truth, to elevate human dignity, to empower the downtrodden, and to create a morally grounded, intellect...

Rethinking Humanity: What Jesus Reveals About the Dignity of Women

  Rethinking Humanity: What Jesus Reveals About the Dignity of Women By: Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar - Founder & Director of Academy of Christian Studies Throughout history, societies have struggled to understand the true dignity and purpose of human beings. In many cultures women have been marginalized, treated as inferior, or denied equal dignity. At other times, reactions against such injustices have produced ideological movements that seek to redefine identity and relationships in ways that move away from the biblical vision of humanity. In both cases, the fundamental problem remains the same: humanity has forgotten its original design. The Bible begins with a profound declaration about human identity. In Genesis 1:27 we read: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” This verse establishes the theological foundation for human dignity. Both men and women are created in the  image of God  (Imago Dei)...
