V Kolosanom 2:11-12 we read about the circumcision in Christ and being buried with Christ in baptism and risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God. But what does buried with Christ in baptism and risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God mean according to the Bible?
The circumcision in Christ
V ktorom ste aj vy obrezaní obriezkou bez rúk, v odložení tela hriechov tela skrze Kristovu obriezku: Pochovaní s Ním v krste, v ktorom ste aj vy s Ním vzkriesení vierou v pôsobenie Božie, who hath raised Him from the dead (Kolosanov 2:11-12)
The new creation is circumcised in the circumcision of Jesus Christ. This circumcision is not made with hands, a natural circumcision of the foreskin of a male. But this circumcision is a work of the Spirit and takes place by putting off the body of the sinful flesh of males and females. The circumcision in Christ; the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, takes place by baptism, when the old man (mäso) is buried with Christ and becomes a partaker of His death and the new man (ducha) has risen from the dead through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised Him from the dead.
The old man is buried with Christ in baptism
Čo si potom povieme? Zotrváme v hriechu, aby milosť bola hojná? chráň Boh. Ako môžeme, ktorí sú mŕtvi hriechu, žiť v ňom ďalej? Nevieš, že mnohí z nás, ktorí sme boli pokrstení v Ježiša Krista, boli pokrstení v Jeho smrť? Preto sme spolu s Ním pochovaní krstom do smrti: že ako Kristus bol vzkriesený z mŕtvych slávou Otca, aj tak by sme mali kráčať v novosti života.
Lebo ak sme boli spolu zasadení do podoby Jeho smrti, budeme tiež podobní Jeho vzkrieseniu: Toto vedieť, že náš starec je s Ním ukrižovaný, aby telo hriechu mohlo byť zničené, aby sme odteraz neslúžili hriechu. Lebo kto zomrel, je oslobodený od hriechu (Rimanom 6:1-7)
Keď si bol pokrstený, you were circumcised in the circumcision of Christ and you have buried your old former life.
Starý muž, who is carnal and sense-ruled and is dominated by the sinful nature, no longer exists.
Starý muž, the carnal man, has died in Christ and the new man, the spiritual man, has been risen in Christ from the dead.
Old things have passed away, všetky veci sa stali novými!
You believed in Jesus Christ and decided to nasledovať Ježiša and entered a covenant with Him and as a sign of the covenant is the circumcision in Christ.
Just like in the Old Covenant the natural circumcision of the foreskin was a sign of the covenant between God, Abraham, a his Seed, in the New Covenant, the circumcision by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh through baptism, is a sign of the New Covenant in Christ.
The new man is risen with Christ from the dead
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Nech teda nevládne hriech vo vašom smrteľnom tele, aby ste ho poslúchali v jeho žiadostiach. Ani nevydávajte svoje údy za nástroje neprávosti hriechu: ale odovzdajte sa Bohu, ako tí, ktorí sú živí z mŕtvych, a vaše údy ako nástroje spravodlivosti pre Boha. Lebo hriech nebude panovať nad vami: lebo nie ste pod zákonom, ale pod milosťou.
Čo potom? zhrešíme?, pretože nie sme pod zákonom, ale pod milosťou? chráň Boh. Nevieš, toho, komu sa vydávate za sluhov, aby ste ho poslúchali, vy ste jeho služobníci, ktorých poslúchate; či už od hriechu až po smrť, alebo z poslušnosti k spravodlivosti? (Rimanom 6:8-16)
A ak je Kristus vo vás, telo je mŕtve pre hriech; ale Duch je život pre spravodlivosť (Rimanom 8:10)
Lebo ak žijete podľa tela, áno zomrieť: ale ak vy skrze Ducha umŕtvujete skutky tela, budete žiť. Lebo všetci, ktorých vedie Duch Boží, sú to synovia Boží (Rimanom 8:13-14)
Jesus Christ has conquered the death! If you have become a new creation in Him, you have been redeemed from the power of sin and death by the putting of the body of the sins of the flesh and you have been given power in Christ to reign over sin and death.
You shall no longer listen to the flesh and be led by the sinful nature of the flesh and fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh, since the flesh with its sinful nature has died in Christ.
The proof that the flesh has died in Christ
If the flesh with the sinful nature has died in Christ, the flesh shall no longer produce the unrighteous works of the flesh, which are a.o. cudzoložstvo, smilstvo, rozvod, (sexuálne) nečistoty, effeminacy, nadmerná náklonnosť (žiadostivosť), zlá žiadostivosť, žiadostivosť, hnev, hnev, zlomyseľnosť, rúhanie, filthy communication, klamstvo, lasciviousness, modlárstvo, čarodejníctvo, hatred, variance, emulations, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, kradnutie, vraždy, opilstvo, revellings (1 Korinťanom 6:9- 6, Galaťanom 5:19-21, Kolosanov 3:5-10).
If you still do the works of the flesh, you are not circumcised in Christ, because the body of the sins of the flesh has not been put off and is not buried in Christ but is still alive.
The old creation, who belongs to the world and lives in the kingdom of darkness, does these unrighteous works. But if you are born again and you are circumcised in the circumcision of Christ by the putting off the body of sins of the flesh, you shall not do those works anymore, but you shall do righteous works according to the will of God.
You shall listen to the Father and submit yourself to His Word and obey the words of God and apply them into your life, since the Word of God is the truth. You shall walk after the Spirit in the will of God and the Spirit shall reign in your life. Ako výsledok, you shall live a holy life unto God and bear the ovocie Ducha.
