“We are all sinners”, it may sound so pious and humble, men i virkeligheden, it’s an insult to God and the redemptive work and precious blood of Jesus Christ and belongs to the many false doctrines that are preached. This false doctrine keeps people in bondage of sin and death and prevents them from living in freedom after the Spirit. Because this false doctrine doesn’t call the people to repentance and the removal of sin, but allows the people to persevere in sin and to tolerate and support the sins of others. På grund af denne undervisning, people don’t have to change but can stay the way they are. And so the devil has seduced many Christians and keeps them in bondage through his lie and caused Christians to live in disobedience to God and His will. But what does the Bible say about the sinner and the saint? When are you a sinner and when are you a saint?
Alle er født som syndere
Som det er skrevet, Der er ingen retfærdige, ingen, Ikke en: Der er ingen, der forstår, der er ingen, der søger efter Gud. De er alle gået af vejen, de er sammen blevet urentable; der er ingen, der gør godt, ingen, Ikke en (romere 3:10)
Hvorfor, som af en mand, som synd indgik i verden, og død ved synd; Og så gik døden over alle mennesker, For det har alle syndet. For indtil loven var synd i verden (romere 5:12-13)
The devil always uses half-truths instead of the whole truth. Dette burde ikke være overraskende, because the devil is a liar and the father of liars. Han taler ikke sandheden, but he always leaves a part of the whole truth away, so that people become Ulydig mod Gud og hans vilje.
This is also the case with the teaching that man always remains a sinner. It’s correct that everyone, who is born on this earth in the flesh is a sinner. No one is born righteous. Everyone is born in unrighteousness (Salmer 51:5). That’s because of the fall of man, whereby the spirit of man died and came under the authority of the death, and man fell from his position and became a son of the devil. Fra det øjeblik, evil was present in the seed of man. Alle sammen, Hvem ville blive født af Adams frø (mand) ville blive født som en synder (Læs også: ‘Kampen i haven’)).
Man was trapped in the flesh, wherein sin and death reign and lived from the sinful nature of the flesh. Ved at give loven, God made His will known to the carnal man and the sacrificial laws were given to (midlertidigt) purify God’s people from their sins and iniquities.
Indtil Guds løfte, Jesus Kristus, Guds søn og det levende ord, came to the earth and fulfilled the redemptive work for (faldet) mand, and redeemed man from his state as a sinner. This last part is always left out by the devil.
Jesus Kristus, Guds søn, was born of the Seed of God
Jesus was not born of the seed of man but was born of the Seed of God. Therefore Jesus Christ was holy and righteous and not a sinner and unrighteous, just like Adam and Eve were holy and righteous before the fall of man.
Jesus became equal to man and was fuldt ud menneskelig, therefore Jesus had the ability to sin and to leave the will of God through disobedience to God.
Because if this wouldn’t be possible, the devil would not have tried to tempt Jesus to sin, just like the devil tempted Adam and Eve to sin.
And so the devil approached Jesus and tried to tempt Jesus to sin by using the words of God for the lusts and desires of His flesh (Læs også: Jeg vil give dig verdens rigdomme')
But Jesus knew the nature and will of God and He also was familiar with the nature and the will of the devil and therefore Jesus refuted the partial truth of the devil with the whole truth of God.
And so Jesus overcame the temptations of the devil in the flesh with the words of God.
This didn’t happen once in the wilderness, but this happened during His whole life on earth.
The devil continuously tried to tempt Jesus to sin directly and through the people around Him and caused Him to bow to him. But because Jesus walked in obedience to the Father in His will after the Spirit, Jesus discerned the hearts of the people and the temptations of the devil, and so the mission of the devil failed.
“Get thee behind me, Satan: du er en Anstød for Mig: thi du nyder ikke det, som er af Gud, but those that be of men”
The devil even used the disciple Peter to tempt Jesus to sin and leave the will of God through disobedience and avoid the korsets vej.
The words of Peter sounded so loving, sincere, and compassionate, and may seem they came from God, but Jesus knew the will of the Father and recognized the words that derived from the feelings and emotions of the flesh. Therefore Jesus said to Peter: "Få dig bag mig, Satan: du er en Anstød for Mig: thi du nyder ikke det, som er af Gud, but those that be of men”
At that moment Peter was an adversary of God and didn’t speak according to a revelation of the Father, but Peter spoke from a carnal mind, since Peter tried to hinder the great work of redemption of mankind in history (Matthew 16:21-23).
Despite all the temptations of the devil through the spiritual leaders of God’s people and even His own disciples, Jesus stayed yielded to the Father and remained obedient to the will of the Father and the Holy Spirit and freely laid down His own life
Han sendte sit ord og helbredte dem
For han har gjort ham til synd for os, som ikke kendte nogen synd; for at vi kunne blive gjort til Guds retfærdighed i ham (2 Korinterne 5:21)
And so Jesus was wounded, bruised, and made sick (put Him to grief), because the Father laid the sins and iniquities of man and the punishment of sin, som er døden, upon Jesus Christ.
And so Jesus Christ was made sin and became the Substitute for fallen man; the sinner and through His blood, død, og opstandelse, He would redeem many, who lived as sinners in the kingdom of darkness and were prisoners of death, and take them to heaven and by faith and regeneration in Him would give a place in the Heavenlies on His throne and become co-heirs with Him (Salmer 107:20, Esajas 45:12–13; 53, Zachariah 10:9-13, Efeserne 4:7-11, Kolosserne 3:1)
Through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and His blood everything is finished. Jesus restored what was broken and made man whole (Helbredt) and reconciled man with God.
Through the blood of Christ, the position of fallen man is restored and man doesn’t belong to the generation of fallen man (gammel mand); synderen, but belongs to the generation of the new man; the saint.
There is no condemnation in Christ
Derfor er der nu ingen fordømmelse for dem, som er i Kristus Jesus, som ikke går efter kødet, Men efter ånden. For livets Ånds lov i Kristus Jesus har frigjort mig fra syndens og dødens lov. For hvad loven ikke kunne, ved at den var svag gennem kødet, Gud sender sin egen søn i syndigt køds lignelse, og for synd, fordømt synd i kødet: For at lovens retfærdighed skulle blive opfyldt i os, som ikke går efter kødet, Men efter ånden.
For de, der er efter kødet; Men de, der er efter Åndens ting. For at være karnalt sindet er døden; Men at være åndeligt sindet er liv og fred.
Fordi det kødelige sind er fjendskab mod Gud: for det er ikke underlagt Guds lov, Det kan heller ikke være. Så de, der er i kødet, kan ikke glæde Gud.
Men I er ikke i kødet, Men i Ånden, I bekræftende fald være, at Guds ånd bor i dig. Nu hvis nogen ikke har Kristi ånd, han er ingen af Hans.
Og hvis Kristus er i dig, Kroppen er død på grund af synd; Men ånden er livet på grund af retfærdighed.
Men hvis hans Ånd, som oprejste Jesus fra de døde, bor i dig, Han, som oprejste Kristus fra de døde, skal også levendegøre jeres dødelige legemer ved sin Ånd, som bor i jer. (romere 8:1-11.
Through faith and regeneration, man has laid down his flesh, hvori syndnaturen bor, i Kristus.
By the death of the flesh, man has been redeemed from the syndens og dødens lov, which reigns in the flesh and man doesn’t live under the law, but under the grace of God (Læs også: ’Hvad er nåde?', ’Fortabt i nådens hav', ‘Forskellen mellem lov og nåde')
Man has become a new creation; En Guds søn, en helgen, through the identification with Christ and regeneration; the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead in Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
Can the Holy Spirit abide in a sinner?
Der er mange troende, who say they are gemt and born again and have the Holy Spirit, while they keep saying that they are sinners. Men det er umuligt! If you are a sinner, you don’t live in the will of God, but outside the will of God.
You are either a sinner and belongs through your flesh to the devil and the kingdom of darkness (jordens rige) or you have become a saint through regeneration and belongs through your spirit to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God (Himmeriget (Åh. romere 8, Efeserne 1:3-14, Kolosserne 1:12-14, 1 John 3:1-10)).
The Holy Spirit can’t abide in an unclean person; en synder. Derfor, if someone says that he or she is a sinner, then the person is not born again and is not redeemed from the power of sin and death and therefore the person is not saved. The person still lives in the kingdom of darkness and is blinded in his or her carnal mind and is still a prisoner of sin and death and walks after the flesh in disobedience to God and His will.
What is a sinner?
A sinner is a son of the devil and has the nature of the devil and lives in darkness without God (ugudelige) and is prideful, oprørsk, and disobedient and refuses to submit to God and the law of the Kingdom of God that represents the will of God.
Therefore a sinner, who has a carnal mind can’t please God, because the sinner is not willing to submit to the law of God (romere 8:6-8)
A sinner lives outside the will of God and is not saved. Therefore if you say, that you are a sinner and keep doing those things, som går imod Guds vilje, you are not redeemed from the death, and sin and death still reign in your flesh. Da dødens frugt er synd.
If you can’t say that you are righteous and have become a saint, which means that through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and by His blood you have been made righteous and have been separated from the world unto God, then you don’t have the Holy Spirit and don’t belong to Him.
Why do they preach that you always remain a sinner?
The problem is that many preachers who preach from the pulpit are carnal (natural man) and refuse to lay down their flesh. Therefore they adjust the words of God in such a subtle manner, so that it may seem that the pious doctrine, that they always remain sinners, is coming from God and make them look humble, men i virkeligheden, it’s falsk ydmyghed and a prideful doctrine that leads to rebellion against God and disobedience to the will of God. And so they use this doctrine as an excuse, so that they can stay the way they are and keep living in lasciviousness after the flesh and persevere in sin.
And because believers don’t read and study the Word of God by themselves, but believe the words of preachers, the believers have become indifferent towards sin and have accepted sin, due to the fact that they think they are sinners and that they will always remain sinners.
På grund af denne tankegang, they will not repent and remove the sins from their lives and walk after the will of God, but they keep walking after the flesh and persevere in sin.
Because how can you walk holy and righteous as a son of God if you believe that you are a sinner?
They also preach this doctrine to new visitors of the church. They are being told that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you don’t have to change, because God loves you just the way you are.
And so they live by faith in the humanistic love of the world in enmity with God as workers of iniquity. And although they believe they are saved through their humanistic way of life and works, de er ikke reddet. Fordi Ordet siger, that the ungodly; syndere, are not saved but for them is the blackness of darkness forever reserved (Jude).
Although preachers say that you always remain a sinner and that it doesn’t matter how you live, God says something else in His Word, namely that it does matter how you live.
Gud elsker mennesker, but God doesn’t love the sin of people and therefore God gave His Son to redeem man from the power of sin and death and to justify man and reconcile man with Him, ved tro og genfødelse i Kristus.
Er du stadig en synder?
Hvis vi siger, at vi ikke har nogen synd, Vi bedrager os selv, Og sandheden er ikke i os. Hvis vi tilstår vores synder, Han er trofast og bare for at tilgive os vores synder, Og for at rense os fra al uretfærdighed. Hvis vi siger, at vi ikke har syndet, Vi gør ham til en løgner, Og hans ord er ikke i os(1 John 1:8-10)
As long as a person doesn’t repent and become born again by faith in Jesus Christ and the conviction of sin, the person remains a sinner and lives separated from God.
Alle personer, who is born on earth is born in sin and iniquity and is a sinner. Ingen er udelukket. Not even when you are born of the seed of Israel or have been raised in a Christian home.
No one has been made righteous because of that. A person can only be made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. There is no other Way to God and eternal life than through Jesus Christ.
Det er lige meget, hvad folk siger, the Word is very clear about this matter. Og til sidst, the Word decides where you will spend eternity.
Gud er lys og i ham er intet mørke
Dette er så budskabet, som vi har hørt om ham, og forkynd for dig, at Gud er lys, og i ham er intet mørke overhovedet. Hvis vi siger, at vi har fællesskab med ham, og gå i mørke, vi lyver, og gør ikke sandheden: Men hvis vi går i lyset, som han er i lyset, vi har fællesskab med hinanden, og Jesu Kristi, hans Søns blod renser os fra al synd (1 John 1:5-7)
Hvad skal vi så sige? Skal vi fortsætte i synd, at nåden må blive overflod? Gud forbyde. Hvordan skal vi, der er døde for synden, leve længere deri? Ved du ikke, at så mange af os, som blev døbt til Jesus Kristus, blev døbt til hans død? Derfor er vi begravet med ham af dåb til døden: Det som som Kristus blev opvokset fra de døde af farens herlighed, Alligevel skulle vi også gå i livets nyhed.
For hvis vi er blevet plantet sammen i lighed med hans død, vi skal også være i lighed med hans opstandelse: At vide dette, at vor gamle mand er korsfæstet med ham, for at syndens legeme kunne ødelægges, at vi fremover ikke skulle tjene synden. For den, der er død, er befriet fra synd (romere 6:1-7)
If you are convicted of your sins and repent and become born again in Christ, then from that moment you have been made righteous and no longer belong to the devil and the world, but you belong to God and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Du er ikke længere en synder, who is blinded in his mind and lives in the lie in darkness in bondage to sin and death, but through the power of the blood of Christ and the death of the flesh and resurrection of the spirit, you have been made righteous and have become a saint, who is enlightened in his mind and lives in the truth in the Light in the freedom of the Spirit and the Life and reigns over sin and death.
Hvad skete der i det åndelige område, namely the justification of man and the reconciliation between man and God, shall become visible in the natural realm, through the immediate change in the life of the person and by udsætte den gamle mand og sætter den nye mand på.
Helliggørelsesprocessen
Mine små børn, these things write I unto you, at I ikke synder. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, hvis vi holder hans bud. Han der siger, Jeg kender ham, and keeps not His commandments, er en løgner, og sandheden er ikke i ham. Men den, der holder hans ord, i ham er sandelig Guds kærlighed fuldendt: herved ved vi, at vi er i ham. He that saith he abides in Him ought himself also so to walk, selv mens han gik (1 John 2:1-6).
Men bliver nu gjort fri fra synd, og blive Guds tjenere, I har jeres frugt til hellighed, og enden evigt liv. For syndens løn er døden; men Guds gave er evigt liv ved Jesus Kristus, vor Herre (romere 6:22-23)
During the process of sanctification and spiritual maturity, when you grow up into the image of Christ and walk as He walked, you can (unconsciously) make a mistake. But the Holy Spirit shall immediately confront you and correct you, whereby you have the ability to ask forgiveness and repent
This doesn’t mean that you consciously keep making mistakes and use the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ as a permit for the flesh to live a lascivious life and give yourself to idolatry and (seksuel) uncleanness and the lusts of the flesh.
Because if you want to live a lascivious life and love the things you do and want to persevere in sin and don’t want to yield to Jesus Christ; Ordet og holde hans bud, then you are not born again in Christ and don’t have the Spirit of God dwelling in you and don’t walk in the love of God, but you have the spirit of the world and walk in the love of man and the world (Åh. romere 6:1-7, 1 John 3:6-10).
A sinner or a saint
For som ved én mands ulydighed blev mange gjort til syndere, så ved éns lydighed skal mange gøres retfærdige (romere 5:19)
You are born as a sinner and if you are not born again in Christ, you are still a sinner and live separated from God and belongs to the world, and sin and death still reign in your life.
But if you are born again in Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells in you, then you are no longer a sinner, but you have been made righteous in Jesus Christ through His blood and have become the righteousness of God; en helgen, who is devoted to God.
Er du stadig en synder? If you say that you are a sinner, en djævelens søn, who has the nature of the devil and live outside the will of God and don’t belong to Him, then it’s time to repent, so that you will be made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and become a new creation through regeneration and be reconciled with God and receive Gods nature and walk as a son of God after the Spirit in His will and inherit eternal life
Because a sinner is not saved and as long as the mindset in the church will be that man is a sinner and will always remain a sinner, people shall live as sinners and walk after the flesh and persevere in sin and live in rebellion against God.
