El llamado celestial
Cómo Dios me recompensó

Chapter 1: Introduction
Every journey begins with a single step, but the journey to know God begins with a surrendered heart. This book is not merely a collection of doctrines; it is an invitation—to see the world through the eyes of faith, to hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit in Scripture, and to respond with wholehearted devotion.
If you are reading these words, it may be that God has already begun stirring something within you. Do not quench that spark. Follow it.
Chapter 2: Thus Has God Rewarded Me
People often ask, “What has God given you?”
I answer: “He gave me Himself.”
When I walked away from family expectations to follow Christ, I lost much in the eyes of the world. But in losing, I found everything. My reward was not material—it was the unshakable peace that comes from knowing I belong to Him.
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:29, ESV)
Thus has God rewarded me.
Chapter 3: Discovering the Beauty of the Creator
The Wonder of the Wind
You cannot see the wind, yet you feel its power. It bends trees, fills sails, and carries seeds across continents. In the same way, the Spirit of God moves invisibly—but His work is everywhere evident.
The First Driving Force
Science asks, “What caused the Big Bang?”
Faith answers: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1, ESV)
The universe did not arise from chaos, but from the Word of a personal, intelligent Creator.
The Marvelously Ordered Creation of the Universe
From the orbit of planets to the dance of electrons, creation operates with mathematical precision. Such order does not emerge from randomness—it reflects the mind of God.
The Wonder of the Human Body
Consider the human eye: 130 million photoreceptors, self-cleaning, auto-focusing, and capable of distinguishing ten million colors. Or the brain: 86 billion neurons, forming more connections than stars in the Milky Way. This is not accident. This is design.
The Wonder of Animals and Plants
The monarch butterfly navigates 3,000 miles using an internal sun compass. The Venus flytrap counts touches before closing. These are not “evolved tricks”—they are signatures of divine artistry.
The Wonder of Genetic Intelligence
DNA contains more information per gram than any human-made storage device. A single cell holds instructions equivalent to 1,000 volumes of an encyclopedia. Who wrote this code? Not chance—but the Logos, the Word made flesh (John 1:14).
Moral Virtue Possesses Marvelous Wisdom
Even those who deny God live by moral laws they cannot explain: love, justice, sacrifice. These are echoes of the divine nature imprinted on every soul (Romans 2:15). Without God, morality is arbitrary. With Him, it is sacred.
Chapter 4: The Bible
Is the Bible Reliable?
Critics claim the Bible is full of errors. Yet archaeological discoveries—from the Pool of Siloam to the Dead Sea Scrolls—consistently confirm its historical accuracy. More importantly, millions have encountered the living Christ through its pages.
The Bible is not just true; it is alive. “For the word of God is living and active…” (Hebrews 4:12, ESV).
Principles for Studying the Bible
1.Pray first—ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate truth.
2.Read in context—never isolate a verse.
3.Compare Scripture with Scripture—let the Bible interpret itself.
4.Apply what you learn—truth without obedience is deception.
Chapter 5: Christ, the Wonderful Fulfiller
The Meaning of Christ
“Christ” is not Jesus’ last name—it is His title: the Anointed One, the Messiah promised since Eden.
Prophecy of Christ’s Birth
Over 300 prophecies foretold His coming: born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), from the line of David (2 Samuel 7:12–13). All fulfilled in one man: Jesus of Nazareth.
Discovering Christ
He is not a myth, not a moral teacher only, but God incarnate. To know Him is to know the Father (John 14:9).
The Origin of Christ
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1, ESV)
He existed before time. He created all things (Colossians 1:16).
The Identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God
At His baptism, the Father declared: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17, ESV)
Demons cried out: “I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” (Mark 1:24)
The Name of Christ
There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Not Buddha. Not Muhammad. Only Jesus.
The Wonderful Fulfillment of Christ’s Mission
He came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). On the cross, He bore our sins (1 Peter 2:24). In resurrection, He conquered death.
The Fullness in Christ
“For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.” (Colossians 2:9, ESV)
All wisdom, power, grace, and truth reside in Him.
The Life of Christ
Thirty years of obscurity. Three years of ministry. One sacrifice for all eternity.
The Secret Time of Christ’s Second Coming
No one knows the day or hour (Matthew 24:36)—but we are called to be watchful, faithful, and ready.
The Mystery of Christ
He is fully God and fully man—a mystery we worship, not dissect.
Humanity’s Need for Jesus Christ
Without Him, we are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1). With Him, we are alive forevermore.
Christ Is the Most Precious Treasure
To gain Him is to lose nothing of true value. To lose Him is to lose everything.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead—and to bring His people home.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
One God, three Persons—eternally co-equal, co-eternal, in perfect unity.
Chapter 6: The Disciples
Understanding the Character of God: He Is a Jealous God
God’s jealousy is not envy—it is holy passion for our exclusive devotion. “You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3, ESV)
The Importance of Reading and Prayer
Discipleship grows in the soil of Scripture and prayer. Neglect either, and faith withers.
The Importance of the Holy Spirit and the Father’s Drawing
No one comes to Christ unless drawn by the Father (John 6:44) and empowered by the Spirit.
Prayer Can Bring Revival
When disciples prayed after Pentecost, the place shook (Acts 4:31). Prayer still moves heaven.
The Beatitudes of the Disciples
Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, the peacemakers—not because they are strong, but because they depend wholly on God.
Why Did Jesus Call Mostly Fishermen as Disciples?
Not the wise, not the powerful—but ordinary men willing to be transformed. God chooses the weak to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27).
The Cost of Discipleship
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23, ESV)
Following Christ costs everything—and gives back infinitely more.

Chapter 7: The Offering
True worship is not measured in rituals, but in surrender.
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” (Romans 12:1, ESV)
An offering is not what we give to God—He owns everything already. It is what we return for God: our time, our resources, our very selves. And in giving, we receive far more than we part with.
Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Gospel
Why the Gospel Must Be Preached from Jerusalem to the Ends of the Earth
Jesus commanded: “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, ESV)
This is not a suggestion—it is the heartbeat of the Church. The gospel is too precious to keep silent.
The Spiritual Mysteries of the Gospel (Shem, Ham, and Japheth)
After the flood, Noah’s three sons became the roots of all nations. From Shem came Abraham—and ultimately Christ. This was no accident, but divine orchestration: salvation flows from the line of promise.
The Mystery of the Gospel—Saul of Benjamin Becomes Paul
A persecutor of the Church became its greatest missionary. Why? Because “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.” (1 Timothy 1:15, ESV)
If God could transform Saul, He can transform anyone.
Chapter 9: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
Baptism
Baptism is not magic—it is a public declaration of death to sin and resurrection to new life in Christ (Romans 6:3–4). It is obedience, identity, and covenant.
The Lord’s Supper
“Do this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19, ESV)
In the bread and cup, we proclaim Christ’s death until He comes. It is communion—with Him, and with one another.
Chapter 10: Marriage and Family
Marriage
Marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32). One man, one woman, for life—not because it is easy, but because it reflects eternal truth.
Family
The home is the first mission field. Fathers are to bring up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). A godly family is a light in a dark world.
Chapter 11: The Church
What Is the Church?
Not a building, not an institution—but the body of Christ, made of living stones (1 Peter 2:5). Where two or three gather in His name, He is there (Matthew 18:20).
The Importance of the Church’s Holiness
“Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16, ESV)
The Church must reflect the purity of her Bridegroom. Compromise with sin grieves the Spirit.
The Church Needs Every Member to Fulfill Their Role
Just as a body has many parts, so the Church thrives when each believer uses their gift (1 Corinthians 12:12–27). No one is insignificant.
Requirements for Church Leaders
Leaders must be above reproach, hospitable, able to teach, not quarrelsome, not lovers of money (1 Timothy 3:1–7). Character matters more than charisma.
Chapter 12: Redemption
The Origin of Sin
Sin entered through one man—Adam—and spread to all (Romans 5:12). We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners.
The Corruption of Sin
Sin distorts every part of us: mind, will, emotions, body. It separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2).
The Dominion of Sin
Without Christ, we are slaves to sin (John 8:34). But “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36, ESV)
The Wages of Sin
“The wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23, ESV)—not just physical death, but eternal separation from God.
Forgiveness of Sins and Salvation
But the verse continues: “…but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Salvation is not earned—it is received by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9).


Chapter 13: Testimonies
Throughout history, lives have been transformed by the power of Christ:
Augustine, once enslaved to lust, became a pillar of the Church.
John Newton, a slave trader, wrote “Amazing Grace” after encountering mercy.
Hudson Taylor, who trusted God for every penny, brought the gospel deep into China.
D.L. Moody, a shoe salesman, ignited revival across continents through simple faith.
Their stories are not legends—they are proof that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV)
Chapter 14: This Life and Eternal Life
What Is This Life?
Fleeting as a vapor (James 4:14), yet eternally significant. Every choice echoes into forever.
What Is Eternal Life?
Not merely endless existence—but knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (John 17:3). It begins the moment we believe.
On the Time and Space of Eternal Life
Heaven is not a place of floating clouds, but a renewed creation—where God dwells with His people, and “He will wipe away every tear” (Revelation 21:4, ESV). Time as we know it will be swallowed in eternity’s glory.
Chapter 15: God’s Reconciliation with Humanity
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
God did not wait for us to clean ourselves up. He reached down in love, bridged the gap through the cross, and made peace through the blood of His Son (Colossians 1:20).
Reconciliation is His gift. Our response is repentance and faith.
Chapter 16: A Promise as Valuable as It Is Grand
“In my Father’s house are many rooms… I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2, ESV)
This is not poetic hope—it is a divine promise. The same Jesus who rose from the dead is preparing a home for those who love Him.
Chapter 17: Seeing the Final Blessing
One day, every tear will be explained. Every sacrifice will be seen as worship. Every faithful step will be honored.
We will see Him face to face—and in that moment, all mystery will give way to wonder.
“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.” (1 Corinthians 13:12, ESV)
Conclusion
This book began with a question: What has God given me?
It ends with an answer: Himself.
If you have read this far, I pray you have glimpsed not just doctrines, but the living Christ—the Creator, Redeemer, and coming King.
Do not let this be the end of your journey.
Respond to Him today. Surrender to Him fully. Follow Him faithfully.
For thus has God rewarded me.
And He longs to reward you too.
Él también anhela bendecirte.
