A maioria das pessoas já viram a antiga publicidade da Nike que diz: "Just Do It" (apenas faça). A implicação é que tudo o que é necessário para te tornares um atleta é determinação, trabalho árduo e aqueles ténis. Quando se trata da natureza humana, a vida é muito diferente. Os seres humanos simplesmente não são suficientemente disciplinados para fazer tudo o que precisamos de fazer. Não podemos mudar-nos pela a nossa própria iniciativa.
Um dos escritores da Bíblia, um ávido fã de desporto com o nome de Paulo, reconheceu que a transformação da natureza humana invoca outra coisa, um agente de mudança sobrenatural. A nossa única responsabilidade é estar disposto a permitir que esse agente de mudança traga as melhorias necessárias.
Não, Ele pode não melhorar o teu jogo de golfe, mesmo que desejes que sim. Ele pode não dar-te a habilidade de marcar golos. Mas, Ele ajustará a tua atitude, o teu carácter e os teus relacionamentos para melhor. Apenas faça (Just Do It). Permite que Cristo te mude de um auto-melhorador ineficaz e frustrado, para um vencedor no jogo da vida.
~ João 15:4

Most everyone has seen the old Nike commercial that says, "Just Do It". The implication is that all that’s needed to become an athlete is determination, hard work, and those shoes. When it comes to human nature, life is very different. Human beings just aren’t disciplined enough to do all we need to do. We can’t change ourselves by our own initiative.
One of the Bible writers, an avid sports fan by the name of Paul, recognized that changing human nature calls on something else, a supernatural change agent. Our only responsibility is to be willing to allow that change agent to bring about the needed improvements.
No, He might not improve your golf game, even though you wish He would. He may not give you the ability to hit home runs. But, He will adjust your attitude, your character, and your relationships for the better. So just do it. Allow Christ to change you from an ineffective, frustrated self-improver, to a winner in the game of life.
