El sermón "El llamado al Hombre de Dios," predicado por Joel Coyoc, se centra en el exhortativo tema de la piedad y la vida que debe caracterizar a aquellos que son considerados "hombres de Dios," tomando como base 1 Timoteo 6:11-12. El predicador argumenta que los hombres y mujeres de Dios son aquellos llamados y capacitados por Cristo para cumplir con responsabilidades específicas en la iglesia, lo cual incluye seguir la justicia, la fe, el amor, y vivir con paciencia y mansedumbre. Scripturalmente, el sermón enfatiza la importancia de huir de la codicia y las falsas enseñanzas que desvirtúan la piedad, basándose en textos como 1 Timoteo 6:10 y Filipenses 3:8-9, que resaltan que la verdadera riqueza radica en una relación genuina con Cristo y no en posesiones materiales. La significancia práctica de este mensaje radica en la llamada a los creyentes a una vida de dedicación, integridad y constante confianza en la justicia de Cristo, evitando el orgullo y la autoconfianza, ya que toda justicia proviene del Salvador.

The Bible defines a man of God as someone called by God for a specific purpose and duty, embodying faith and righteousness.
A man of God is described in 1 Timothy 6:11 as one who flees from unrighteousness and pursues righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. This concept is not new to the New Testament; it bears its roots in the Old Testament, where figures like Moses and David were called 'men of God' for their divine tasks. Through Christ’s work in the New Covenant, every believer is now seen as a man or woman of God, set apart for a holy purpose, and intended to reflect God's virtues in their lives.
1 Timothy 6:11, Exodus 33:11, Psalms 90:1, 1 Peter 2:9
The doctrine of justification is established through Scripture, affirming that believers are declared righteous solely through faith in Christ.
Justification, as explained in verses like Romans 3:28, asserts that a person is justified by faith apart from works. This truth is grounded in the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law on behalf of His people. When believers place their faith in His finished work, they are counted righteous before God. This is not based on personal merit but is a free gift of grace—highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9—that underscores that salvation and justification come only through faith in Jesus Christ, not through any of our efforts or good deeds.
Romans 3:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, 2 Corinthians 5:21
Pursuing godliness is crucial as it reflects our transformation and obedience to God's will through faith in Christ.
The pursuit of godliness is emphasized in 1 Timothy 6:11-12, where Paul instructs Timothy to follow righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. This pursuit is essential because it signifies a believer's response to God's grace and mercy in their life. As Christians, we are called to reflect Christ’s character, living in a way that honors Him and fulfills our calling as His chosen people. Furthermore, godliness equips believers to resist worldly temptations and to serve others effectively, demonstrating the transformative power of the Gospel in our hearts and lives, which ultimately glorifies God.
1 Timothy 6:11-12, Titus 2:11-12, 1 Peter 1:15-16
Faith is the means by which believers are justified and empowered to live according to God's will.
Faith is foundational for the Christian life as indicated in 2 Corinthians 5:7, where we walk by faith, not by sight. It is through faith that believers receive grace, enabling them to be justified before God (Romans 5:1). This faith is not merely intellectual assent but is a deep trust in God's promises, His character, and the finished work of Christ. As believers grow in faith, they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live lives that reflect Christ, pursuing holiness and good works that align with God's will. The journey of faith includes acknowledging our ongoing need for Christ and the grace He provides to navigate life’s challenges.
2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 5:1, Hebrews 11:1
