В римляните 8:10, Павел пише, If Christ is in you, Тялото е мъртво заради греха; Но Духът е живот заради правдата. Какво имаше предвид Павел под това? Как да разберете дали Христос е във вас? What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ in you?
When do you belong to Christ?
When you have become a new creation in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, you belong to Christ.
By faith in Jesus Christ and through regeneration in Him, ти си станал Божи син (Това се отнася както за мъжете, така и за жените). Your flesh has died in Jesus Christ and your spirit that was dead has been raised from the dead by the power of God and has become alive.
If your flesh with its sinful nature has died, it means that it is dead and no longer lives. Следователно, когато се родиш отново, you shall no longer be controlled and led by your flesh in which the sinful nature reigns.
Плътта не може да угоди на Бога
Защото плътският ум е вражда срещу Бога: тъй като не се подчинява на Божия закон, нито наистина може да бъде. Така че тогава тези, които са в плът, не могат да угодят на Бог (римляни 8:7-8)
Since sin reigns in the flesh because of the sinful nature, the flesh can’t please God. The flesh has the nature of the devil and rebels against God and always wants to do those things, които противоречат на Божията воля (Прочетете също: Битката и слабостта на стареца и Волята на Бог срещу волята на дявола).
Ето защо Исус трябваше да дойде на земята, to deal with the sinful nature of (паднал) man that is present in the flesh.
Исус дойде в подобие на човек, so that Jesus could become the Substitute for (паднал) Човечеството (Прочетете също: Беше напълно Исус човек?’ и „Исус възстанови позицията на падналия човек).
If your flesh has been crucified in Christ and is dead, you shall no longer walk after the flesh in the dominion of the sinful nature. Therefore sin shall no longer reign in your life anymore.
Your flesh has died; следователно, you shall no longer live after the flesh and be led by the impulses from the world; the kingdom of darkness that causes your flesh to do things, that go against God’s will and cause you to keep sinning and persevere in sin.
The old man is led by the flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness
Преди теб покаял се and became a new creation in Jesus Christ, you were led by your flesh in which sin reigns and controlled by the kingdom of darkness and the will of the devil.
Вашият ум (вашите мисли), сетивата, чувства, емоции, ще, and the lusts and desires of your flesh reigned in your life and dictated you what to do and you obeyed them (Ефесяни 2:1-7).
Но сега, that you have become a new creation and your flesh has died in Jesus Christ, you shall no longer be led by your flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness that causes you to persevere in sin. You shall no longer walk as a slave of the flesh and live in the bondage of the flesh and sin and death.
Как да разберете дали Исус Христос е във вас?
But you are not in the flesh, Но в Духа, ако е така, Божият Дух живее във вас. Сега, ако някой няма Христос Дух, Той не е негов от него. And if Christ is in you, Тялото е мъртво заради греха; Но Духът е живот заради правдата (римляни 8:9-10)
Следователно, братя, ние сме длъжници, не към плътта, да живееш по плът. Защото ако живеете след плътта, ти ще умреш: Но ако през Духа помрачете делата на тялото, Ще живеете. Защото всички, които са водени от Божия Дух, те са Божии синове (римляни 8:12-14)
If through regeneration, Jesus Christ is in you by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ really lives inside of you and is seated upon the throne of your life, then this will become visible by the way you live.
You shall no longer live under the dominion of sin and death, and therefore habitually persevere in sin. You shall no longer do those things which go against the will of God and Jesus (Прочетете също: Божиите заповеди и заповедите на Исус).
As long as you live after the flesh in неподчинение на Бога И направете тези неща, which don’t please God but instead please the devil, then this shows that the flesh is still alive and reigns in your life and nothing has changed.
But if you really have become a new creation and Jesus Christ is in you, you shall live after the will of God; the will of the Word. You shall be led by the Word and the Holy Spirit and therefore you shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to God. The Spirit shall have dominion and reign in your life.
Is lying not a bad thing?
This means for example, that when you have a conversation with someone and during that conversation, a thought of a lie (or a white lie) comes up in your mind, that releases you a.o. from your responsibility, можете да направите две неща.
You can either walk after the flesh, by listening to this thought, which derives from the flesh that is controlled by the kingdom of darkness and ensures that when you bow for this thought and obey this thought you will lie and not speak the truth and therefore do the will of the devil.
Or you can walk after the Spirit, by taking this thought captive in Jesus Christ; Словото, Кой казва, that you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, but you shall speak the truth, and follow and obey the Word, and reject this thought and speak the truth, въпреки последствията.
Because if you have become a son of God and you belong to God and received His nature and Jesus Christ lives in you by the Holy Spirit, then you shall speak the truth, just like your Father.
Does sin lead to eternal life?
As long as you keep doing the works of the old man and walk after the flesh in sins and iniquities, then this proves that your flesh is not crucified in Jesus Christ, but that sin, което е плод на смъртта, still reigns in your life.
As long as the flesh is still alive, you shall live in bondage and be controlled by the sinful nature of fallen man and belong to the devil. Греховната природа, which is present in the flesh shall reign in your life and shall keep you in the bondage of sin.
The Word says that sin leads to death and not to eternal life. Следователно, it does matter how you live after you become born again (Прочетете също: Веднъж запазено, винаги запазено?)
The only way to be redeemed from the dominion of the devil and the sinful nature and to be reconciled with God is through faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (Прочетете също Няма ли да умрете, ако продължавате да грешите?).
Does the Spirit of Christ live in you?
Това е посланието, което чухме от Него, и ви декларирам, че Бог е светлина, и в Него няма никаква тъмнина. Ако кажем, че имаме общение с Него, и ходи в тъмнината, ние лъжем, и не правете истината: Но ако ходим в светлината, тъй като Той е в светлината, ние имаме общение един с друг, и кръвта на Исус Христос, неговия Син, ни очиства от всеки грях (1 Джон 1:5-7)
Но вие не сте в плът, Но в Духа, ако е така, Божият Дух живее във вас. Сега, ако някой няма Христос Дух, Той не е негов от него (римляни 8:9)
Защото всички, които са водени от Божия Дух, те са Божии синове (римляни 8:14)
Самият Дух свидетелства с нашия дух, че сме Божии деца (римляни 8:16)
Ние знаем, че всеки, който е роден от Бога, не съгрешава; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not (1 Джон 5:18)
Думата казва, that if you have received the Spirit of Christ, ти принадлежиш на Бог. Therefore if you have not received the Spirit of Christ, you don’t belong to Him.
If Jesus Christ is in you, чрез обитаването на Светия Дух, ти обичай Го, слушайте Го, и пазете заповедите Му. You shall follow Him by obeying Him; the Word and walk after the Spirit in righteousness; по волята на Бог.
Ако вие следвайте Исус and walk after the Spirit in righteousness, sin shall no longer have dominion and shall no longer reign as king in your life. You shall no longer live in the bondage of the Закон за греха и смъртта, which reigns in the flesh of the old man. But you shall reign in Christ as king and have dominion over sin and through the Spirit, you shall kill the deeds of the flesh and live in the freedom of Christ.
