Jesus Christ commanded His Body; the Church to be His witness on earth. He commanded those, who belong to Him and follow Him to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and the call to repentance to those, ktorí patria svetu, so that many souls shall be redeemed from the power of darkness and shall be saved by faith and regeneration in Christ and enter the Kingdom of God and be reconciled with God and become sons of God and inherit eternal life. But if Christians live like the world, čo by mal svet činiť pokánie?
How can souls be saved, if Christians live like the world?
Many Christians say they believe in Jesus Christ and believe that they belong to Him, but meanwhile, they live the same life as the world and do the same works as the world. There is hardly any difference between Christians and unbelievers, ktorí patria svetu.
Instead of Christians converting the world, the world has converted many Christians (Prečítajte si tiež: ‘Do Christians convert the world or does the world convert the Christians?').
Instead of making peace between the old man and God, by preaching the gospel of Christ and the call to repentance, and reconcile man back to God, by faith and regeneration in Christ, they have made peace and reconciled themselves with the world, other religions, (Eastern) filozofie, modlárstvo, occultism a veda and have defiled the truth of God with the lies of the world and have made the gospel powerless.
Many churches have not removed sin and iniquity, but have accepted and allowed sin and iniquity, by saying that they will always remain sinners and sins and iniquities will always be part of their lives (Prečítajte si tiež: ‘Zostávaš vždy hriešnikom? a ‘Môžete použiť rozbitý svet ako ospravedlnenie??')
Ofcourse there are churches, who have removed the sin and iniquity and don’t approve and tolerate them, and don’t compromise, but walk after the Spirit as sons of God in obedience to Jesus Christ; slovo, and be doers of the Word. But they are rare.
Living like the world but rewarded with eternal life
Čo si potom povieme? Zotrváme v hriechu, aby milosť bola hojná? chráň Boh (Rimanom 6:1).
Lebo hriech nebude panovať nad vami: lebo nie ste pod zákonom, but under grace. What then? zhrešíme?, pretože nie sme pod zákonom, ale pod milosťou? chráň Boh (Rimanom 6:14-15).
Most people want to have the same life as the world and do the same (unrighteous) works and things, and because of that genuine repentances and regenerations in Christ don’t take place anymore and the flesh is not put off, but stays alive. Namiesto odkladanie starca a obliecť si nového muža, they persevere in sin.
But if those, who say they are Christians persevere in sin, what does the call to repentance contain? What message do Christians have for unbelievers?
Because if someone leads an unclean life and watches porn and/or commits fornication, how can that person approach an unbeliever, who lives an unclean life and watches porn and/or commit fornication, and confront the unbeliever and call the unbeliever to repentance and the removal of sin?
How can someone, who keeps lying, be a witness of Jesus Christ and call liars to repentance?
How can someone, who steals witness and call thieves to repentance?
How can someone, who commits adultery witness and call adulterers to repentance?
How can someone, who is unmarried and has a sexual relationship(s) and/or live together with someone, who isn’t his or her spouse, witness and call to repentance?
How can someone, who practices joga and bows down and worships other gods, witness and call to repentance?
It’s impossible! Therefore many churches have lost their credibility and even have become laughable for the world. Because the same works, which the Word calls sin and the Word has condemned, and which are practiced by the world, are also practiced in many churches.
The new man has been made free from sin and has become a servant to God
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. Ale teraz byť oslobodený od hriechu, a stať sa služobníkmi Boha, máte svoje ovocie k svätosti, a koniec večného života. Lebo odplatou za hriech je smrť; ale Božím darom je večný život skrze Ježiša Krista, nášho Pána (Rimanom 6:20-22)
If you are born again in Christ, you have become a new creation and you’ve been made free from sin. Prostredníctvom regenerácie, your nature has changed. You no longer belong to the devil and no longer serve him as a služobník hriechu a vytrvať v hriechu, but you have become a servant to God and shall serve Him as a servant of righteousness and have your fruit unto holiness.
But if you persevere in sin and are still a slave of sin, where have you been made free from? How can you go into the world and preach freedom in Christ, if you haven’t been made free yourself, but live in the bondage of sin and death in darkness?
Každý, who by faith in Jesus Christ repent and become born again in Christ, shall enter the process of sanctification. The Word and the Holy Spirit, who abides in the new man will teach, správne, and confront the person with his or her sin and then it’s up to the person to obey the Word and the Holy Spirit and submit to God or not.
The Word shall judge everyone
Ježiš plakal a povedal, Ten, kto verí vo Mňa, neverí vo Mňa, ale na Toho, ktorý ma poslal. A kto ma vidí, vidí Toho, ktorý ma poslal. Prišiel som ako svetlo na svet, that whosoever believes on Me should not abide in darkness. A ak niekto počuje Moje slová, a veru nie, nesúdim ho: lebo som neprišiel súdiť svet, ale zachrániť svet. He that rejects Me, a neprijíma Moje slová, má niekoho, kto ho súdi: slovo, ktoré som povedal, ten ho bude súdiť v posledný deň.
Lebo som nehovoril o sebe; ale Otec, ktorý ma poslal, Dal mi prikázanie, čo by som mal povedať, a čo by som mal hovoriť. A viem, že Jeho prikázanie je večný život: nech teda hovorím čokoľvek, ako mi povedal Otec, tak hovorím (John 12:44-50)
People can say all kinds of things and make others believe that it doesn’t matter how you live and that God is merciful and tolerates, approves, and accepts everything, vrátane hriechu. But the Word says something else and eventually, it’s not the people who will decide, who will enter eternal life and who will be thrown in the eternal pool of fire, but the Word (a.o. Matthew 12:36-37, John 12:48, Zjavenie 20:11-15).
