Evanjelik bez evanjelia! To znie zaiste divne. Mnoh\u00ed dokonca povedia, \u017ee je to nemo\u017en\u00e9. Ako by potom mohol by\u0165 evanjelik bez evanjelia? U\u017e to meno evanjelik vyd\u00e1va svedectvo, \u017ee je to nemo\u017en\u00e9. Predsa v\u0161ak, hoci sa to zd\u00e1 by\u0165 nemo\u017en\u00e9, je to tak: s\u00fa evanjelici bez evanjelia. A je ich mnoho. Ko\u013eko je medzi nami \u013eud\u00ed, ktor\u00ed sa naz\u00fdvaj\u00fa evanjelici a pritom evanjelium cel\u00fd rok nepo\u010d\u00favaj\u00fa a doma ho ne\u010d\u00edtaj\u00fa. Ale to im v\u00f4bec neprek\u00e1\u017ea, aby o sebe netvrdili, \u017ee s\u00fa evanjelici. A s\u00fa medzi nimi \u013eudia dobr\u00ed, \u00faprimn\u00ed, mnoh\u00ed sa aj k cirkvi hl\u00e1sia. A zase s\u00fa mnoh\u00ed, ktor\u00ed povedia: Ja nejdem cel\u00fd rok do kostola na slu\u017eby Bo\u017eie, P\u00e1novu bibliu ne\u010d\u00edtam, a tie\u017e som evanjelik. To po\u010dujeme ve\u013emi \u010dasto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nad tak\u00fdmto stavom je potrebn\u00e9 sa v\u00e1\u017ene zamyslie\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nesta\u010d\u00ed vyrieknu\u0165 s\u00fad nad tak\u00fdmito vla\u017en\u00fdmi \u201eevanjelikmi\u201c, poveda\u0165 o nich, \u017ee nie s\u00fa evanjelikmi. Je potrebn\u00e9 sa ich uja\u0165 a vies\u0165 ich k slovu \u017eivota. Najprv je potrebn\u00e9 vedie\u0165, \u010do to znamen\u00e1 by\u0165 evanjelick\u00fdm kres\u0165anom. Pre\u010do pr\u00e1ve \u201eevanjelick\u00fdm\u201c kres\u0165anom? \u010co to znamen\u00e1?

Preto\u017ee ver\u00edme v evanjelium, a pod\u013ea neho riadime svoj \u017eivot. Veri\u0165 v evanjelium a \u010dini\u0165 pok\u00e1nie, to je na\u0161ou z\u00e1sadou. \u010co to znamen\u00e1 \u010dini\u0165 pok\u00e1nie?

Ak to \u010din\u00edme, potom m\u00f4\u017eeme o sebe poveda\u0165, \u017ee sme evanjelikmi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ak m\u00e1me v\u0161ak pod\u013ea evanjelia \u017ei\u0165, v evanjeliu veri\u0165, jemu posv\u00e4cova\u0165 svoj \u017eivot, mus\u00edme evanjelium pozna\u0165, k tomu je v\u0161ak potrebn\u00e9 \u010d\u00edta\u0165 ho, po\u010d\u00fava\u0165 a zachov\u00e1va\u0165. Po\u010d\u00favanie k\u00e1zania evanjelia v chr\u00e1me raz za t\u00fd\u017ede\u0148, to nesta\u010d\u00ed. Je potrebn\u00e9 evanjelium \u010d\u00edta\u0165 denne. Ono mus\u00ed by\u0165 na\u0161im st\u00e1lym du\u0161evn\u00fdm pokrmom. Tak ako sa nesta\u010d\u00ed len raz za t\u00fd\u017ede\u0148 najes\u0165, tak tie\u017e nesta\u010d\u00ed len raz t\u00fd\u017edenne nas\u00fdti\u0165 svoju du\u0161u pokrmom \u017eivota, slovom Bo\u017e\u00edm.

Aj o tak\u00fdch m\u00f4\u017eeme oby\u010dajne poveda\u0165, \u017ee s\u00fa evanjelikmi bez evanjelia. Len pozorujme \u017eivot tak\u00fdchto evanjelikov a potom mus\u00edme poveda\u0165: Tak\u00fd \u010dlovek si v nede\u013eu r\u00e1no oble\u010die evanjelick\u00fd kab\u00e1t, v nede\u013eu po bohoslu\u017eb\u00e1ch si ho vyzle\u010die a potom cel\u00fd t\u00fd\u017ede\u0148 nos\u00ed kab\u00e1t neevanjelick\u00fd, \u010di\u017ee in\u00fdmi slovami, je evanjelikom bez evanjelia.

A naozaj to robia s ve\u013ekou svedomitos\u0165ou. Predsa v\u0161ak brevi\u00e1r nie je slovo Bo\u017eie, ale zbierka modlitieb vydan\u00e1 z rozkazu p\u00e1pe\u017ea. Ak\u00e9ho hriechu sa dop\u00fa\u0161\u0165a evanjelik, ktor\u00fd ne\u010d\u00edta slovo Bo\u017eie, P\u00edsmo sv\u00e4t\u00e9! Nie cirkev, ani p\u00e1pe\u017e, ale P\u00e1n Je\u017ei\u0161 n\u00e1m prikazuje \u010d\u00edta\u0165 evanjelium, n\u00e1s na evanjelium odkazuje, hovoriac: P\u00fdtajte sa na p\u00edsma, tie vyd\u00e1vaj\u00fa svedectvo o mne.
