Kada se ponovo rodite u Hristu, postao si pravednik. Biblija kaže, God had made Jesus, ko nije znao greh, da bude greh za nas, ko nije znao greh, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Korinćanima 5:20-21). Vi više niste đavolji sin, grešnik, ali si postao sin Božiji, svetac. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Pravednik hodi u pravednosti
I sada, mala djeca, ostani u Njemu; to, kada će se On pojaviti, možda imamo poverenja, i ne stidi se pred Njim pri Njegovom dolasku. Ako znate da je On pravedan, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 John 2:28-29)
A nanovo rođeni kršćanin is born of God and has become a son of God (Ovo se odnosi i na muškarce i na žene).
Kad se ponovo rodiš, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(imajte na umu: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, Njegovim radom; His sacrifice and His blood. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Kad hodate nakon duha, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Ako Me voliš, Držite moje zapovijedi
Isus je rekao: “Ako Me voliš, Držite moje zapovijedi” (John 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 ili 3 sati sedmično, ali 24 sati dnevno, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Njegov način) i ostanite Mu poslušni.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, you will stay in Him, i čuvati njegove zapovijedi, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Božja Riječ), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
Kad ti, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
