The armor is of light in Romans 13:12 is meant for Christians. Every Christian, Kuka syntyy uudestaan Kristuksessa, 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. Siksi, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, kävellä pimeässä, 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, luonto, and kingdom, 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
Yö on kulunut pitkälle, päivä on käsillä: hylkäämämme siis pimeyden teot, and let us put on the armor of light. Kävelemme rehellisesti, kuin päivällä; ei mellakoinnissa ja humalassa, ei kamalassa ja tyhmyydessä, ei riidassa ja kateudessa. Mutta pukekaa päällenne Herra Jeesus Kristus, älkääkä huolehtiko lihasta, to fulfill the lusts (roomalaiset 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. Siksi, on aika, that all the Christians, jotka sanovat uskovansa, 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.
All around us, 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, laittomuutta, and the lukewarm state of people, who claim to be Christians.
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.
Siksi, it’s time that those, jotka sanovat uskovansa, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; Sana, and are sons of God (Tämä koskee sekä miehiä että naisia), who don’t belong to the darkness (maailma) enää, but the Light.
Älä anna synnin enää hallita kuninkaana elämässäsi
Älkää siis hallitsi kuolevaisen kehossa, että sinun pitäisi noudattaa sitä sen himoissa. Kumpikaan ei tuota jäseniäsi vääryyden välineinä syntille: Mutta anna itsesi Jumalalle, kuin ne, jotka ovat elossa kuolleista, ja jäsenesi vanhurskauden välineinä Jumalalle (roomalaiset 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.
Siksi, ihmiset, 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 heidän elämässään.
Mutta Raamattu (Jumalan sana) 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.
Äläkä ole yhteydessä pimeyden hedelmättömiin töihin, vaan pikemminkin nuhtele niitä. Sillä on häpeällistä edes puhua niistä asioista, joita he tekevät salassa. Mutta kaikki, mitä moititaan, tulee ilmi valossa: sillä kaikki, mikä ilmenee, on valoa (efesolaisille 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 riisua vanha mies. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
Siksi jäsenet, jotka ovat maan päällä; haureutta, likaisuus, kohtuuttoman kiintymys, Paha päättäväisyys, ja halu, mikä on epäjumalanpalvelusta: Mihin asiat’ Jumalan vihan vuoksi tulee tottelemattomuuden lapsiin: Missä sinäkin kävelit myös jonkin aikaa, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; viha, viha, pahoinvointi, jumalanpilkkaa, saastainen viestintä suustasi. Makaa ei toiseen, Nähdessään, että te olette lykänneet vanhan miehen hänen tekojensa kanssa; Ja olet laittanut uuden miehen, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (kolossalaiset 3:5-10)
Nyt lihan teokset ovat ilmeisiä, jotka ovat nämä; Avioliitto, haureutta, likaisuus, irstaisuus, Idolatria, noituutta, vihaa, varianssi, emulaatiot, viha, riitaa, kapinat, harhaoppeja, Kateus, murhia, juopuminen, riemuita, Ja sellainen: mitä kerron sinulle aiemmin, Kuten olen myös kertonut sinulle aikaisemmin, että ne, jotka tekevät sellaisia asioita(Galatians 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; pimeyden teot.
After Jesus Christ, Jumalan Poika, was baptized in water by Johannes Kastaja and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, Pyhä Henki johdatti Jeesuksen erämaahan.
Erämaassa, Jeesus oli paholaisen houkuttelema for forty days. 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.
Ja aivan kuten Jeesus, 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, jotka johtavat syntiin.
And that’s only possible if you rakastaa Jumalaa koko sydämestäsi, sielu, mieli, ja vahvuus,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, aivan kuten Jeesus, Who loved His Father with all His heart, sielu, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
Mikä on Jumalan tahto?
Sillä tämä on Jumalan tahto, Jopa pyhityksesi, että sinun pitäisi pidättäytyä haureesta: Että jokaisen teistä tulisi tietää kuinka hallita alus pyhityksessä ja kunniassa; Ei päättäväisyyden himo, Jopa pakanat, jotka eivät tiedä Jumalaa: Että kukaan ihminen ei mene yli ja petä veljeään missään asiassa: Koska Herra on kaikkien sellaisten kostaja, koska olemme myös varoittaneet sinut ja todistaneet. Sillä Jumalaa ei ole kutsuttu meitä saastaiseksi, Mutta pyhyyteen. Siksi hän halveksii, halveksia, mutta Jumala, joka on myös antanut meille Pyhän Henkensä (1 tessalonikalaiset 4:3-8)
And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, Ja tee ne (Hesekiel 36:27)
Äläkä mukaudu tähän maailmaan: vaan muuttukaa mielenne uudistumisen kautta, jotta voisitte todistaa, mikä se on hyvää, ja hyväksyttävää, ja täydellinen, Jumalan tahto (roomalaiset 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. Kuitenkin, 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 uudistaa heidän mielensä Jumalan Sanan kanssa. Jotta, 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. Heidän kuuliaisuutensa kautta Jumalaa kohtaan, ne kävellä rakastunut 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 (sitä kaste vedessä ja kaste Pyhällä Hengellä).
Siksi, veljen, Olemme velallisia, ei, elää lihan jälkeen. Sillä jos elät lihan jälkeen, Kuolet: Mutta jos te hengen läpi, kiinnitän kehon teot, te saatte elää kaikille, joita Jumalan Henki ohjaa, He ovat Jumalan poikia. Sillä te ette ole saaneet jälleen orjuuden henkeä pelkäämään; mutta te olette saaneet lapsenlapsen hengen, jolloin itkemme, Abba, Isä (roomalaiset 8:12-15)
During the process of pyhitys, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, jolla on paholaisen luonne, 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) Henki, 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, ja haluaa valehdella, rebel, haureuttaa, tehdä aviorikoksen, avioero, katsella 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 (Itä-) filosofiat, noituutta, ennustus, neuvottele henkilöiden kanssa, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, varastaa, vihata, tappaa, olla anteeksiantamaton towards others, recompense evil for evil, jne.
Because according to the Bible, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; syntinen. 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.
Kaikki, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
Sillä te olette kaikki Jumalan lapsia uskon kautta Kristukseen Jeesukseen. Sillä kaikki teistä, jotka olette Kristukseen kastetut, olette pukeneet Kristuksen päälle (Galatians 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. Siksi, the spiritual transformation of the vanha mies into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
Uusi mies, who has been made in the image of the Creator, shall put on Jesus Christ; the Word and walk in the light; Jumalan totuudessa, 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, sielu, 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, aviorikos, haureutta, valhe, varastaa, tappaa, 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, sielu, mieli, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, sinä tulet pystymään:
- 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.
"Ole maan suola"
