The armor is of light in Romans 13:12 is meant for Christians. Every Christian, který se znovu narodil v Kristu, is delivered from the power of darkness and transferred into the light. Christians don’t belong to the darkness anymore, but to the Kingdom of Light. Proto, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, chodit ve tmě, and do the works of darkness. But Christians shall live in the Kingdom of God and do righteous works. Through the new birth and the change of sonship, příroda, a království, Christians shall put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light and walk in the light. let’s look at the armor of light in Romans 13:12 and how you put on the armor of light according to the Bible.
Put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light
Noc je dávno strávená, den je na dosah ruky: odhoďme tedy skutky temnoty, and let us put on the armor of light. Pojďme poctivě chodit, jako ve dne; ne ve výtržnostech a opilství, ne v komornictví a svévolnosti, ne ve sváru a závisti. Ale oblečte si Pána Ježíše Krista, a nezaopatřuj tělo, to fulfill the lusts (Římanům 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. Proto, it’s time, that all the Christians, kteří říkají, že věří, wake up from their spiritual sleep. It’s time to arise in Christ and walk in boldness after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in the light.
Všude kolem nás, we see an increase of the power of darkness. More and more spiritual ground is being taken by the power of darkness, which is visible in the natural realm in nature and the lives of people.
The main reasons for the increase of darkness are the increase of apostasy, bezpráví, and the lukewarm state of people, kteří tvrdí, že jsou křesťané.
Many Christians don’t speak the truth but keep their mouths shut about the Truth of God to prevent conflicts or rejection by people.
Instead of standing on the Word, they compromise with the world and approve the works of darkness. They even partake in the works of darkness.
There is hardly any distinction between good and evil and the majority of believers and unbelievers.
Proto, it’s time that those, kteří říkají, že věří, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; Slovo, and are sons of God (To platí jak pro muže, tak pro ženy), who don’t belong to the darkness (svět) už, but the Light.
Nechte hřích už vládnout jako král ve vašem životě
Ať tedy hřích nevládne ve vašem smrtelném těle, abyste jej poslouchali v žádostech jeho. Ani nevydávejte své údy jako nástroje nepravosti k hříchu: ale odevzdejte se Bohu, jako ti, kteří jsou živí z mrtvých, a vaši údy jako nástroje spravedlnosti pro Boha (Římanům 6:12-13)
People who keep walking in darkness and doing the works of darkness and obey and serve sin and death through their flesh, don’t walk in the light.
Proto, lidé, who walk in darkness are not the light in the world.
They shall not be able to deliver other people from the power of darkness. They shall also not be able to teach others in the truth of God’s Word. Since they are blinded and walk in darkness themselves and sin still reigns as king v jejich životech.
Ale Bible (Boží slovo) commands everyone, to put off the works of darkness and no longer walk after the lusts of the flesh. The Bible commands everyone to walk as children of light and put on the armor of light and yield their members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
A nemít společenství s neplodnými skutky temnoty, ale spíše je kárejte. Neboť je hanba i mluvit o těch věcech, které se s nimi dělají tajně. Ale všechny věci, které jsou kárány, jsou zjeveny světlem: neboť vše, co zjevuje, je světlo (Efezským 5:11-13)
The Word commands to not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but to reprove the works of darkness by the truth of God.
How do you cast off the works of darkness and put off the old man?
Every believer should cast off the works of darkness and odložit starého muže. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
Umrtvujte tedy své údy, kteří jsou na zemi; smilstvo, nečistota, nadměrná náklonnost, zlá žádostivost, a žádostivost, což je modloslužba: Na jaké věci’ protože Boží hněv přichází na děti neposlušnosti: Ve kterém jste také nějaký čas chodili, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; hněv, hněv, zlomyslnost, rouhání, špinavá komunikace z vašich úst. Nelhejte jeden druhému, vidouce, že jste odložili starce s jeho skutky; A oblékli si nového muže, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (Kolosané 3:5-10)
Nyní jsou zjevné skutky těla, které jsou tyto; Cizoložství, smilstvo, nečistota, lascivita, Modlářství, čarodějnictví, nenávist, rozptyl, emulací, hněv, svár, pobuřování, hereze, Závist, vražd, opilost, veselí, a podobně: o kterém jsem vám řekl předtím, jak jsem vám také řekl v minulosti, že ti, kdo dělají takové věci, nezdědí království Boží(Galatským 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; díla temnoty.
Po Ježíši Kristu, Syn Boží, was baptized in water by Jan Křtitel and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, Ježíš byl veden Duchem svatým na poušť.
V divočině, Ježíš byl pokoušen ďáblem na čtyřicet dní. During those forty days, Jesus learned to stay obedient to His Father and resist the devil and all his temptations.
Jesus didn’t compromise and didn’t bow to the devil. But Jesus only bowed to His Father, by staying faithful and obedient to His Father and His will.
A stejně jako Ježíš, the sons of God should also walk in obedience to the Word and the Holy Spirit. They should resist the devil and don’t give into his deceptions and temptations, které vedou ke hříchu.
And that’s only possible if you Milujte Boha Celým svým srdcem, duše, mysl, a sílu,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, stejně jako Ježíš, Who loved His Father with all His heart, duše, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
Co je Boží vůlí?
Neboť toto je vůle Boží, i vaše posvěcení, abyste se zdrželi smilstva: Aby každý z vás věděl, jak vlastnit svou nádobu v posvěcení a cti; Ne v chtíči žádostivosti, stejně jako pohané, kteří neznají Boha: Že žádný muž nepřekročí a nepodvede svého bratra v žádné záležitosti: protože Pán je mstitelem všech takových, jak jsme vás také varovali a svědčili. Neboť Bůh nás nepovolal k nečistotě, ale ke svatosti. Kdo tedy pohrdá, nepohrdá člověkem, ale Bůh, který nám také dal svého svatého Ducha (1 Tesalonickým 4:3-8)
A vložím do vás svého Ducha, a způsobí, že budete chodit v mých nařízeních, a budete zachovávat mé soudy, a dělat je (Ezechiel 36:27)
A nepřizpůsobujte se tomuto světu: ale proměňte se obnovou své mysli, abyste mohli dokázat, co je dobré, a přijatelné, a perfektní, vůle Boží (Římanům 12:2)
Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, God’s will is written in the mind and heart of the new man. Nicméně, the carnal mind is not renewed with the Word and thinks like the world, and can become a hindrance in the lives of Christians. A carnal mind ensure that people keep walking in disobedience to the Word in unbelief.
Therefore Christians need to obnovit svou mysl se Slovem Božím. Aby, they will get to know the Father and His will.
Through their love for God and by faith in God and His Word, they shall obey the words of God. They shall apply His words in their lives and walk according to His words and abide in the Word. Skrze jejich poslušnost Bohu, oni chodit v lásce according to the will of God.
What does the Bible say about the process of sanctification?
The process of sanctification is a process that every person, who has repented and has become a new creation in Jesus Christ shall go through. Even when you are raised in a Christian family, you shall go through the process of sanctification after you’ve become born again (a křest ve vodě a křest Duchem svatým).
Proto, bratři, jsme dlužníci, ne do masa, žít podle těla. Nebo pokud žijete podle těla, zemřete: ale jestliže vy skrze Ducha umrtvujete skutky těla, budete žít, neboť všichni, kdo jsou vedeni Duchem Božím, jsou to synové Boží. Neboť jste nepřijali ducha otroctví, abyste se znovu báli; ale vy jste přijali Ducha synovství, při čemž pláčeme, Abba, Otec (Římanům 8:12-15)
During the process of posvěcení, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, který má povahu ďábla, and put on the armor of light. You will put on the new man and be clothed with Jesus Christ.
You shall no longer do the works of the flesh. But through (the power of) Ducha, you shall kill the works of the flesh and do the works of the Spirit, which produces life and peace.
You shall no longer listen to the lusts and desires of your flesh, that commands you to love yourself and the world and reject the words of God, a chce lhát, rebel, smilnit, spáchat cizoložství, rozvod, hodinky porno, and have sexual relationships with someone, who isn’t your spouse/of the same gender/multiple persons/yourself/children or animals.
You’ll no longer listen to your flesh that wants you to walk in pride and commands you to get involved with strange religions and/or (Východní) filozofií, čarodějnictví, věštění, poradit se s duchy, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, ukrást, nenávist, zabít, být neodpouštějící towards others, recompense evil for evil, atd.
Protože podle bible, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; hříšník. These works of darkness don’t belong in the life of the new man, who has been made holy and righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him.
Každý, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
Neboť vy všichni jste synové Boží skrze víru v Krista Ježíše. Pro tolik z vás, kolik bylo pokřtěno do Krista, nasadili Krista (Galatským 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. Proto, the spiritual transformation of the starý muž into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
Nový muž, who has been made in the image of the Creator, shall put on Jesus Christ; the Word and walk in the light; v pravdě Boží, in the armor of light.
When you have become the new man, you shall walk after the Spirit and shall love God with all your heart, duše, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself, which means that you shall serve no other gods and have no idols, you shall not commit spiritual adultery with other religions and/or philosophies, and shall not commit witchcraft, cizoložství, smilstvo, lež, ukrást, zabít, envy etc.
How do you put on the armor of light?
You put on the armor of light by yielding to Jesus Christ; the Word and the Holy Spirit and doing what is written in the Word.
As long as you stay faithful to Jesus Christ and walk after the will of the Father you shall do righteous works; the works of light and shall walk in righteousness.
The path of righteousness is not the path of the world. It’s a narrow path and only few shall find it or keep walking on this path (Matthew 7:14). Your walk in life depends on your love for Jesus Christ and the Father.
Only if you are born again in Christ and love God with all your heart, duše, mysl, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, you shall be able to:
- Resist all the temptations of the devil,
- Fulfill your task in the Kingdom of God on earth,
- Be a witness of Jesus Christ,
- Do the works of light,
- Stand in the faith.
