Dear Community! Dear friends!
Some of the ways some sociologists classify the periods of human history recent in the United States is through identifying them with some suggestive name, a key or a letter that summarize its essential characteristics.
So, the baby-boomers were the generation of those born between 1946-1964, this is the 20 years after the Second World War when there was a huge population explosion.
Generation "X" corresponds to those born between 1965 to 1979 connected with the popular culture of rock.
Generation "Y" or Milenials, born between 1980 to 2000, which some also call Z, or Generation V (for virtual), or C (for cell), Generation Internet or Generation @.
As can be seen, all these generations come and go and are marked by a specific momentary cultural or social current.
In the middle of all these generations, there is a generation that is much more fundamental, lasting and universal, that does not depend on currents or fashions, that has thousands of years of existence and that belongs to all the continents: Generation B, or Blessed Generation. , which is formed by all those who throughout history have recognized God, manifested in Christ, as Savior and Lord of their lives.
Let's see a bit how the Bible traces the origins and history of Generation B.
Generation B is the seed of Abraham.
Genesis 12: 1-3; Acts 3: 25. Abraham
He received the call of God to initiate a generation of families that would be blessed in a special way by the Lord. Through the ages, all those who accept the message of God, become persons and families of blessing, not only for themselves but to invite other families to be part of the blessing.
Generation B is the sons and daughters of God.
John 1:12 speaks of those who are made children of God and is not limited only to the people of Israel, but is also for the people of Israel. Gentiles, for all those who receive the work of Jesus Christ. The only way to
to become sons and daughters of God is through believing that Jesus Christ paid on the cross the price to reconcile us with God and grant us by grace this honorable title.
Generation B is the joint heirs of everything created.
The Spirit itself bears witness to our spirit, that we are children of God. And if children, also heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we suffer together with him, so that together with him we may be glorified.
Romans 8: 16-17
One of the prominent statements of the Bible regarding the Blessed Generation is that we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ of all that exists in the universe.
Generation B is the generation that expresses the blessings of God.
manifest these blessings?
1 In that we are saved through Christ and our whole family is called to enjoy the
same salvation.
2 In that we have the protection, the provision, and the guidance of the Spirit of God.
3 In which we are to live eternally and forever in the presence of God for the work that
Christ did for us in his cross and resurrection.
