When you find the Book of Life, you find the true God of life and through His Word eternal life. The holy Book of Life is the Bible. The Bible contains the truth and life of God. But it’s up to the people what they do with it. What happens when you find the Book of Life?
What is the origin of the Book of Life?
The Book of Life originates from the one and only true Almighty God, Who is the Giver of life and created out of nothing, the heaven and the earth and all there is within through the Word and the Spirit.
All life and everything you see around you have its origin in God, and the proof of the Father’s existence is revealed through the witness of His Word and Spirit.
The Word of life and the holy Spirit of life represent the Father and the Law of the Spirit of life, and proclaim His words and do His will.
The holy Bible is the Book of Life
In the holy Bible, you’ll find the life. Every word in the Bible is given by inspiration of God through the Holy Spirit, and quickens and brings forth holy lives and good works to everyone that believes, and therefore does what the Word says.
Because it is written in 2 تیموتی 3:16, that all scripture, which means every word in the Bible, is profitable for doctrine, برای توبیخ, برای اصلاح, برای آموزش در عدالت, so that the man of God may be perfect, از طریق تمام کارهای خوب مبله شده است.
بنابراین, it’s important that Christians know the Word, and that the Word of God is the final authority in their lives, and that they hold forth the Word of life unto the end.
الف lack of knowledge of the Word of life leads to lacking Christians that are not steadfast but are tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine and remain spiritual babies that always need attention and care, و, با توجه به کلمه, will be destroyed (هوسی 4:6).
If the Word of God is not the final authority in the lives of Christians, it leads to licentious lives full of sin.
همه کارها را بدون غر زدن و مشاجره انجام دهید: تا بی عیب و بی آزار باشید, پسران خدا, بدون سرزنش, در میان ملتی کجرو و منحرف, در میان آنها مانند نورهایی در جهان می درخشید; نگه داشتن کلمه زندگی; تا در روز مسیح شاد باشم, که بیهوده دویده ام, نه بیهوده زحمت کشید (وابسته به فیلیپیان 2:14-16)
What happens when you find the Book of Life?
When you find the Book of Life, شما می توانید دو کار انجام دهید:
You believe that the Book of Life originates from God and is the truth and believe in the Son and His finished redemptive work and His blood, and you توبه کردن, باشد غسل تعمید در آب, and receive the غسل تعمید با روح القدس and live as the new creation in submission and obedience to the Word in the light in righteousness.
You don’t believe that the Book originates from God, but consider it a lie and don’t believe in the Son and His redemptive work, and reject the Word, and continue your carnal life as the آفرینش قدیمی in darkness and keep living in sin.
The result of finding the Book of Life in the life of King Josiah
In the life of King Josiah, finding the Book of Life brought forth a change and sanctified lives of people.
When Hilkia, کاهن اعظم, found the Book of the Law of the Covenant and gave the Book to Shafan the scribe, and Shafan read the words of the Book of the Law of Moses to King Josiah, Josiah didn’t become angry or offended by the righteous and judging words of God, which were hard to hear.
Neither did King Josiah destroy the Book in the fire, as his son had done to the words of God. But the words of God from the Book of the Law of the Covenant brought him to repentance (A.O. 2 پادشاهان 22, 23; ارمیا 36).
King Josiah received the words of God in his heart. The words of God didn’t only cause repentance, but the words of God also led to a massive cleansing in the land, معبد (خانه خدا), and the lives of people, from all idolatry, pagan influences, و (جنسی) uncleanness that entered the land through infidelity and adultery of the kings, کاهنان, elders and people of the house of Israel and Judah with the pagan nations, entered the land and God’s house.
The words of God in the lives of the humble vs the pride
That was the result of the words of God in the life of King Josiah, and that is still the result of the words of God in the lives of people that are فروتن and acknowledge God as Lord and believe in His Son and submit to Him, و به خاطر آن, obey the words that are written in the Book of Life.
Because the words of God are still Spirit and life and bring forth holy lives and righteous work and eternal life.
اما, the people with an unbelieving heart that are full of pride and rebellious and belong to the world and love the world shall reject the words of God.
چرا? Because the words of God reveal sin and condemn the works of the flesh, which the old man loves so much, and reveal where the road of the carnal flesh leads to. And that’s something carnal people don’t want to hear.
They don’t want any inference from God, but they want to live their own lives with the will of the flesh as the captain of their lives.
به همین دلیل, Bibles remain closed, and another gospel of the senses with motivational self-help sermons and the associated experiences is preached that please, فراهم کند, and enforce the will, احساس, شهوات, and desires of the flesh of man.
برای تمام آنچه در جهان است, شهوت جسم, و شهوت چشم, و افتخار زندگی, از پدر نیست, اما از جهان. و دنیا می گذرد, و شهوت آن: اما کسی که اراده خدا را انجام می دهد تا ابد باقی می ماند (1 John 2:16-17)
The preaching of another gospel that promotes ungodly lives full of sin
اما, this other gospel doesn’t produce changed lives and righteous works, as the true gospel of Jesus Christ does, but unchanged lives in sin.
These words of man don’t originate from the Well of Life. بنابراین, they don’t bring forth faith in God, loyalty, تقدس, صلح, شادی, وحدت, courageous soldiers and victors (over sin and the works of darkness), but they bring forth doubt, بی اعتقادی, شهوت, خیانت, نارضایتی, اضطراب, افسردگی, اختلاف, حسادت, عصبانیت, iniquity and victims (of sin and the works of darkness), and ungodly lives.
مطالعه کنید تا خود را مورد تایید خدا نشان دهید, a workman that needech not to be ashamed, به درستی کلمه حقیقت را تقسیم می کند. But shun profane and vain babbling: زیرا آنها به بی خدایی بیشتر خواهند رسید (2 تیموتی 2:15-16)
The deceiving words of carnal preachers fuel wickedness in the church and produce corrupt lives
How many times do church visitors say that they can’t help it, زیرا آنها live in a fallen world and are born that way and remain sinners?
This lie has been preached, باور کرد, and passed on from generation to generation, whereby people still believe this lie of the devil and keep living in this lie and keep doing the works of the sinful flesh and participate in the works of darkness.
The vain words of carnal preachers and this lie led to (جنسی) uncleanness and broken relationships, broken marriages, خانواده های از هم پاشیده, in short, broken lives.
Broken lives, that didn’t have to be broken if they believed God and obeyed His words in the Bible and followed His words in their lives.
خدا کلام خود را از روی عشق داد
It was not for nothing that God sent His Word. God gave His Word out of love for humankind to awaken the generation of fallen man and redeem them from the power of the devil and darkness. Because as long as people keep sinning, they are not redeemed and free but are still prisoners and bound.
And such an imprisoned and bound generation raises the next generation that deviates even more from the truth of God and acts more wickedly than the previous generation.
We live in such a generation wherein the people perverted the gospel of Christ and adhere to another vain gospel and think through humanism that they live a good life, while in reality the apostasy is enormous.
This can be seen through the evil works (گناه) in the lives of church visitors that are no different from the lives of people that belong to the world and walk in darkness.
The words of God in the Bible are not read, understood, and not displayed correctly. عوض, the words in the Bible are interpreted from a prideful human mind and taken out of context and used for the will and lust of the flesh.
Just like the devil tried to tempt Jesus with the words of God by using His words for the flesh. اما, Jesus knew the Father and His will and was lead by the Holy Spirit and perceived the wickedness and deception of the devil and defeated the devil with the truth of God’s Word.
بنابراین, submit yourself unto Jesus Christ and the Father and follow and obey the words of God and bring the words of God to life in your life.
Obey the words in the Book of Life, so that your name will be written in the Book of Life of the Lamb
با ایمان, را تولد جدید, and obedience to the words and commandments of God that are written in the Book of Life and by your righteous works that derive thereof, your name shall be written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
