Many people doubt the authenticity of the Bible (کلام خدا) and say that the Bible contradicts Itself. Many people find the Bible hard to understand or they find the Bible boring to read. There are even Christians, who hardly read and study the Bible, let alone apply the words in the Bible to their lives. They say they believe in God and His Word, but do they know, who God is and what is written in the Word, because many times their lives contradict their sayings. There is a lot of division among Christians, while the Bible says that believers should walk in unity in the Spirit. کتاب مقدس برای چه کسانی در نظر گرفته شده است?
Not every software works on every computer
When you buy software for Windows and install it on your Mac Os X computer, you’ll find out that the software won’t work and is useless. Unless you install software, which allows you to run Windows and Windows applications on your computer. در غیر این صورت, the software remains useless
It’s the same with Christianity. As long as you stay the old creation (پیرمرد), who is carnal and led by his senses, عواطف, افکار نفسانی, احساس, اراده, شهوات, خواسته ها, و غیره, you will not be able to understand the Bible. چه رسد به, obey and apply the words of God in your life.
If you remain the old creation, شما نمی توانید با ایمان راه بروید. Because you shall not do what the Bible says, for the carnal mind is enmity against God. جسم و روح نمی توانند با هم باشند. One of them has to die.
The Bible is a spiritual Book
The Bible is not an intellectual (academic) کتاب. But the Bible is a spiritual Book intended for the new creation. The words in the Bible are the Spirit and Life of God intended for the spiritual man. بنابراین, you can only understand the Bible if you are born again and the Holy Spirit quickened your spirit.
The flesh doesn’t understand the spiritual things of the Kingdom of God. Therefore the flesh (the carnal mind and human intellect) will never be able to understand the Bible.
The Bible is a spiritual Manual intended for every born-again believer. The Bible is the only Book on this earth that feeds your spirit and gives you life.
There are many religious books available, that you might consider useful. These religious books can help you in your life and provide carnal methods, گام, و تکنیک ها, and temporarily motivate you. But these books will only feed your soul and not your spirit. The results of reading Christian books are often temporary and not permanent.
The Bible is the only Book that is transformed from the Spirit into the natural and is tangible. If you want your spirit man to grow up, then the only Book that will do the job is the Bible.
As long as you stay carnal and are led by the flesh, you’ll struggle to read the Bible, let alone study the Bible. When you begin to read, you’ll become tired and sleepy and consider the Bible boring. You’ll be distracted by your thoughts while reading the Bible.
Carnal Christians will understand most stories in the Old Testament and the four gospels to a certain level. But the prophets, the letters of the apostles, and the Book of Revelation will remain vague and incomprehensible.
For whom is the Bible boring?
But the Bible is not boring at all! It is only not intended for the old creation, whose mind is darkened and is hostile towards God and wants to do the will, شهوات, و خواسته های گوشت. The Bible is intended for the new creation (مرد جدید), who is born of water and Spirit and walks after the Spirit.
Only by the Holy Spirit the Word of God; the Bible is understandable. That is because the Word of God is a spiritual Book, inspired by the Holy Spirit. He is the Author and not the people.
When you love God above all, you will have a desire to spend time with Him in prayer and His Word. God speaks very clearly through His Word. But it’s up to you if you want to spend time with Him and به او گوش دهید یا نه. (همچنین بخوانید: ‘دین یا رابطه?').
پادشاهی خدا یک پادشاهی روحانی است
The flesh shall always rebel against God and His Word and strive with the Spirit. God has put His will; His law in the hearts of the new creation, با ساکن شدن روح القدس. Therefore every new creation, who has received His Spirit shall walk according to the will of God and keep His commandments, و او را خشنود کن.
خلقت قدیمی, که بعد از گوشت قدم می زند, has a carnal mind and can’t and won’t submit to the law of God, the law of His Kingdom and the Spirit. The old creation has his own rules and rather pleases himself and his flesh than God.
زیرا عقل نفسانی دشمنی با خداست: زیرا تابع قانون خدا نیست, در واقع نمی تواند باشد. پس کسانی که در جسم هستند نمی توانند خدا را خشنود سازند (رومیان 8:7-8)
اما انسان طبیعی چیزهای روح خدا را دریافت نمی کند: زیرا آنها برای او حماقت هستند: او نمی تواند آنها را بشناسد, زیرا آنها از نظر روحی قابل تشخیص هستند (1 قرنتیان 2:14)
God is Spirit, His Kingdom is Spirit. And as long as you stay the old creation, you shall not be able to understand and comprehend the words and things of the Kingdom of God. وقتی کلمات او را در زندگی خود به کار می گیرید, they won’t work. اول, the ‘old you’ has to die, before the ‘new you’ can arise.
The old creation belongs to the unfaithful generation
The old creations belong to the unbelieving and unfaithful generation and constantly need proof, معجز, علائم, و شگفتی ها. Therefore the old creations are not able to walk in faith. They can say they believe, اما گفتن و انجام دادن دو چیز متفاوت هستند. If they really believe, then they will obey His words, احکام او را حفظ کن, و در اراده او گام بردارید.
بسیاری از مردم, که خود را مسیحی می نامند, walk according to what they perceive with their natural eyes, what their carnal mind tells them, and how they feel, instead of what the Bible says?
Only when you become born again, your spirit will be quickened from the death and you will enter the Kingdom of God. You’ll be transferred from death (تاریکی) into life (نور) and you shall live from the Kingdom of God in the Light.
عیسی پاسخ داد و به او گفت, در حقیقت, در حقیقت, من به تو می گویم, جز اینکه مردی دوباره متولد شود, او نمی تواند پادشاهی خدا را ببیند (John 3:3)
You must become born again before you can walk in faith بعد از روح. When you become born again and walk after the Spirit, only then will you be able to comprehend the Bible and apply His Words to your life.
You’ll understand the Bible, believe the Bible, obey the words of God, and walk in the commandments of the Word.
You shall speak in new tongues to edify yourself and pray in the Spirit. You shall preach the gospel and speak the words of God and the signs and wonders of the Kingdom of God shall follow you. You’ll seek those things که بالاتر هستند, جایی که مسیح نشسته است. And you shall endeavor the gifts of the Holy Spirit and walk in these gifts to exalt God and please Him.
The Bible shall not work on the old creation
As long as you apply the Bible to the old creation, it won’t ‘work’. When you are still the old creation and experience miracles, شگفتی, and prophetic words in your life, you should earnestly ask yourself, from which source they come.
The devil can also do signs and wonders. The devil has beholden God from face to face and lived with Him. He knows God very well, maybe even better than most Christians. The devil is an imitator of God and imitates miracles, علائم, و شگفتی ها.
Look at fortune tellers, جادوگران, جادوگران, جادوگران, غیبت گرایان, توهم گرایان, fakirs, و غیره. They can predict the future. They can make themselves invisible and float, fly, درمان, and do all kinds of other miracles, علائم و شگفتی ها. The people are amazed at what they see. But these people don’t do all these miracles, علائم, and wonders by faith and out of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not their source but the devil is their source. Therefore they do these miracles from the kingdom of darkness and use occult powers.
If people in the church do miracles, علائم, و شگفتی ها, but live like the world and bear the same fruit as the world (گناه), then you should earnestly ask yourself from which source they do all of these signs and wonders.
Only when people become born again and walk after the Spirit, they operate from the Kingdom of God. They will walk in the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit and will bear the میوه روح.
کتاب مقدس برای چه کسانی در نظر گرفته شده است?
کتاب مقدس برای چه کسانی در نظر گرفته شده است? کلام خدا; the Bible is a manual intended for born-again Christians. The born-again Christians believe in the truth of God’s Word and can’t live without the Word of God. How else can they feed their spirit and grow up into the image of their Lord Jesus Christ? Without the Bible that is intended for the born-again believers, the spirit of the believers starve to death and shall never spiritually mature.
When you buy a new camera, you receive a user manual. If you don’t read the user manual first, before using the camera, you may do something wrong and will miss out on certain features and never reach the full potential of your camera.
Many people only read the manual, when they encounter problems and come to the conclusion, that they need to read the manual to fix the problem.
Just like many Christians, who only open their Bibles when they are facing difficulties and have problems in life or they need something from God.
hIf born-again Christians don’t read and study the Manual for the new creation, they don’t find out, who they really are در مسیح. They will not walk and live as the new creation and never reach their full potential in Christ.
Most of them stay spiritual babies and keep walking after the flesh and always need other Christians. They are sensual and never grow up into a mature son of God (این هم برای مرد و هم برای زن صدق می کند).
Is the Bible a death letter or a living letter?
For many Christians, the Bible will always remain a written word; a dead letter, instead of the living words of God that come alive in their lives.
When you read the Bible in the Holy Ghost, only then shall you be able to understand the Bible. And if you apply the Bible to your life, you shall walk by faith in the will of God.
Every word of God that you take is a spiritual seed, that you plant into your spiritual man. As long as you protect these seeds, and nurture them, they bring forth fruit and life in your life.
But you have to take care of the seeds and prevent the seeds from being choked and becoming unfruitful. What is the cause of seeds being choked and becoming unfruitful? The cares of this world, فریبکاری ثروت, شهوت ها و خواسته های گوشت, and otherworldly stuff. (همچنین بخوانید: مثل بذر; را 4 kinds of believers')
بنابراین, be watchful and protect the treasures from heaven and guard the Word. Don’t let anything destroy them and don’t let anyone steal them. Stay faithful to the Word and apply the words of God in your life, so that you shall bear the right fruit; را میوه روح.
