Quin és el fruit de la fe segons la Bíblia? Perquè sovint diuen els cristians, que creuen en Jesucrist i que creuen Déu, but do they really? Moltes vegades, their words and works (fets) don’t line up with what they say they believe. They don’t walk after the Spirit by faith but they walk by what their senses perceive and carnal mind say. Let’s look at what the Bible says about the fruit faith?
What is the definition of faith according to the Bible?
En hebreus 11:1 we read the definition of faith: Ara la fe és la substància de les coses que s’esperen, l'evidència de les coses que no es veuen.
Faith is the assurance of the things hoped for and the evidence (the proof) of things that are not seen.
Let’s look at the word ‘hope’. Hope is translated from the Greek word ‘elpízõ’ and means; esperar o confiar: – (tenir, cosa) esperança (-d) (a favor de), confiar.
Hope means that you are confident and that you trust, that something is coming to pass.
You expect it to happen.
There is no doubt in hope, but hope is an expectation.
There is a full assurance in hope; an expectation, that ‘something’ is going to happen.
Per això, faith is an assurance of the things that you expect to happen. Faith is the evidence of things that are not seen.
How does faith speak?
Faith speaks the words of God, que són l'Esperit i la vida. Faith call those things which are not as though they were (romans 4:17).
La primera vegada, the fruit faith became visible on earth was during the creation. God had faith in His Word and power. Ell sabía, when He spoke the Word (Jesús, La paraula viva) that by His power (l'Esperit Sant) it came into being. It wasn’t visible yet, but God knew the power of His Word.
God had this creation in His mind and spoke this creation into being. He called those things, which be not, com si ho fossin.
Si ho ets Nascut de nou en Crist and have become spiritual, then you understand through faith that the worlds were created by the Word of God. Every Christian believes and understands this through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
A través de la fe entenem que els mons van ser emmarcats per la paraula de Déu, de manera que les coses que es veuen no foren fetes de coses que apareixen (hebreus 11:3)
What does the word faith mean?
Faith is translated from the Greek word ‘epistis’ i significa: persuasion, és a dir, credència; Convicció moral (de veritat religiosa, o la veracitat de Déu o un professor religiós), Especialment depenent de Crist per la salvació; constància abstractament en aquesta professió; per extensió del sistema de religiosos (Evangeli) Veritat mateixa: – garantia, confiança, creure, confiança, fidelitat.
You are persuaded, you have credence. You are certain that ‘something’ is the truth. Per això, you stand and keep standing on that truth.
You remain faithful to the truth. Nothing and no one can take you away from that truth. You don’t back down and you don’t doubt (Llegiu també: Trobaré fe a la terra?).
When does your faith begin?
Your faith begins when you are convinced that something is the truth. Has sentit, llegir, or seen something, and you believe, that what you heard, llegir, or saw is true.
God has given a free will to everyone. Therefore every person has a free will to make his own choices in life. Everyone decides to believe the Word of God or not believe the Word of God.
Les seves paraules, fets, and lives show, whether they believe the Word of God or not.
Carnal people always need some kind of proof and/or a sign, before they believe. They are sense-ruled and will only believe if they’ll see it with their natural eyes.
Tanmateix, it happens often that when they get some kind of proof or a sign, they still doubt. (Llegiu també: Primer veu després creu o primer creu després veu?).
We all know that doubt is the opposite of faith. Doubt is the fruit of the old man; l'home carnal. If you doubt, you can’t walk in faith and bear the fruit of faith.
What are the four simple steps of faith in the process of regeneration?
But the new creations don’t walk after the flesh by what they see in the natural realm. The new creations walk after the Spirit in submission to God in obedience to the Word.
They speak and do the words of God and walk in faith and bear the fruit of faith in their lives. They abide in the Word of God and call those things which are not as though they were.
The new creations are not moved and ruled by their senses, sentiments, emocions, etc., But they are moved and ruled by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. N'hi ha 4 simple steps of faith in the process of regeneration.
the first step of faith
The first step of faith is to believe in Jesus Christ that He is the Son of God and came in the flesh and became the Substitute and Redeemer for fallen man. Believe, that through His sacrifice at the cross, per la seva sang, i la resurrecció dels morts, Jesus dealt with the sin problem of mankind, inclosa la teva.
Jesus delivered man from the power of the devil, pecat i mort, and translated man from the darkness into the light. He restored the position of man and reconciled man back to God.
If you believe all this, you repent of your old life as a sinner and make Jesus your Saviour and Lord.
That’s the first step you take in faith; believing in Jesus Christ, and His obra redemptora i penedir -se of your sinful life
The second step of faith
Now comes the second step, which is regeneration in Christ. After your repentance, you are baptized in water and identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the water you lay down your old life as a sinner. You bury the old man with its sinful nature and arise in newness of life.
Vostès crucify your (escandalós) carn (your self, your carnal lusts and desires, opinions, manera de pensar, pecats, iniquitats, etc.) and your spirit raises from the dead
The third step of faith
You will arise from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and enter eternal life. After the baptism, rebeu l'Esperit Sant.
You are born of the Spirit of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in you. Us heu convertit en una nova creació; Un fill de Déu (Això s'aplica tant a homes com a dones), and God’s nature dwells in you.
Now you believe that you are a new creation that is born of water and Spirit.
The final step of faith
Tu creus, that you have become a new creation. The old you is gone and the new you, que és creat a imatge de Déu, has been born. As you believe that you are a new creation and that the past is gone, you will also walk as the new creation in newness of life.
You shall be confident in Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit in submission and obedience to His words. The Bible shall guide you and the Holy Spirit shall lead and teach you..
Com doncs heu rebut Crist Jesucrist, el Senyor, així que camineu en Ell: Arrelat i edificat en Ell, i establerts en la fe, com us han ensenyat, abundant-hi d'acció de gràcies.
Colossencs 2:6,7
How do you develop faith?
You develop faith by hearing the Word of God, renewing your mind with the Word of God, and applying the Word of God into your life, whereby you shall speak and do the Word of God.
Hearing and renovant la teva ment with the Word of God are so important, because without the knowledge of the truth and knowing the will of God, you can’t pray and walk by faith and live a holy life.
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (romans 10:17)
Però tu, estimada, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, pregant en l'Esperit Sant (Jude 1:20)
You shall build yourself up in your most holy faith and walk according to what the Word says.
You shall pray in the Holy Ghost, that is praying in other tongues.
The Holy Spirit knows exactly, what you need and what the obstacles in your life are. He helps your infirmities, and intercedes for you.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (romans 8:26)
The Word revealed by the Spirit
Abans de tornar a néixer, you didn’t know, what was written in the Word of God. You didn’t know Jesus Christ, and who God is and walked in darkness. Or maybe you did read the Bible, but you didn’t understand what was written.
Però ara, that you are spiritual and have received the Holy Spirit, and entered into His light, you shall read His Word by His Spirit. You shall understand what is written, because the Holy Spirit reveals the Word of God (which is Spirit) Per a tu.
The Spirit is el key to understanding the Word of God, He is your Teacher. You don’t need all kinds of teachers. The Holy Spirit teaches you into all truth and guide you. He shall raise you in His Word, so that you will walk in faith.
Ho faràs, allò que la Paraula et diu que facis. You’ll live according to what the Word says, instead of what the world or your senses say.
You shall abide in Him and walk in Him and walk in truth.
The works shall follow your faith
Faith without works is dead. Llegint la Paraula de Déu, applying the Word, and therefore doing the Word of God, you shall walk in Him. You will keep His commandments and obey Him.
You shall speak and live according to the Word. When you do the Word, the works shall follow you, just like the works followed Jesus, because He walked after the Spirit.
Mentre et quedis en Ell; la Paraula, the works shall follow you.
Perquè com el cos sense esperit és mort, així la fe sense obres també és morta
James 2:26
Quench all the fiery darts by faith
You shall not always receive a warm welcome and maybe the people around you shall dislike you, i et persegueixen.
The devil shall do everything he can, to bring you back to the flesh, so that he can reign over you again, en comptes de you reigning over him.
He shall accuse you in your mind, he shall raise thoughts in your mind that oppose the Word of God.
Depèn de tu, what you do with these thoughts. Do you feed them, or do you take these thoughts captive in Jesus Christ and cast them down?
The devil not only uses your mind, però també gent per atacar-te.
El diable té un objectiu i és destruir-te. Per això, the devil shall do everything he can and use everyone he can, per complir la seva missió.
But when you stay in Christ and abide in the Word, llavors per fe pots apagar tot the fiery darts of wicked one. Nota, it is written ‘all’ and not ‘some’.
La fe és el teu escut, però cal aguantar-ho. No one else can do that for you. Therefore it is important to build yourself up in your most holy faith.
Sobretot, Prenent l'escut de la fe, amb el qual podràs apagar tots els dards de foc dels malvats
Efesis 6:16
El que destrueix la teva fe?
As long as you stay in the Word of God and walk after the Spirit and obey His words and keep His commandments, romandràs en la fe. Però t'has de quedar awake and be watchful en tot moment. No has de baixar mai la guàrdia.
Guardeu la vostra ment contra el coneixement d'aquest món, i sigueu fidels a la Paraula. Quan alimentes la teva ment amb el coneixement d'aquest món, then doubt will arise. Because the knowledge and truth of this world goes against the knowledge and truth of the Word.
Therefore faith can be destroyed by doubt. This doubt can come both from the inside of you and from the outside:
- Doubt from the inside: doubt can enter if you have not renewed your mind with the Word of God (Bíblia). It may be that in certain area’s of your life, you have not renewed your mind with the Word of God. In those area’s your mind is carnal and human reason still reigns instead of the Spirit. This will ensure that you keep living after the flesh.
- Doubt from the outside: doubt can also enter from the outside through false teachings, wisdom of the world etc.. Paul warned the believers many times about false teachers and philosophies of man that will lead them astray and away from the faith in Christ Jesus.
Queda't en Ell
As long as you stay in Him and walk according to the Word, then you shall not be moved, and shall stand and walk in faith. But if you do not walk according to the Word, but according to what the world says(Filosofies, science etc.) you shall obey the world and shall not be able to walk in faith. Because the world is enmity against God and His Word.
Com doncs heu rebut Crist Jesucrist, el Senyor, així que camineu en Ell: Arrelat i edificat en Ell, i establerts en la fe, com us han ensenyat, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, després de la tradició dels homes, després dels rudiments del món, i no després de Crist. Perquè en ell habita corporalment tota la plenitud de la divinitat
Colossencs 2:6-9
Què és la fe del fruit?
The fruit faith is a fruit of the Spirit and is present in every born again believer’s life. When you bear the fruit faith, you shall not walk by what your flesh, your carnal mind and senses, tell you. But you shall walk by faith after the Spirit by what the Word and the Spirit tell you.
Mantingueu la fe
Don’t loose you faith but keep the faith. Make sure that you seek the things which are above and fill your mind with the things of God and His words and stay in Christ. Lluita contra la bona lluita de la fe. Que ningú et robi la fe, even when they turn against you.
Hi ha molt més per escriure sobre la fe dels fruits, perquè tot l'Evangeli parla de la fe en Jesucrist. La caminada d'un cristià nascut de nou té a veure amb la fe.
I would like to finish this blog post with the following question: Quan sigui el teu moment d'anar a casa, can you say the same words that Paul said?
He lluitat una bona lluita, He acabat el meu curs, He mantingut la fe
2 Timothy 4:7
'Sigues la sal de la terra'
