Tutki itseäsi, oletko uskossa

Raamattu sanoo 2 korinttilaisille 13:5 tutkia itseäsi, oletko uskossa, ja todista oma itsesi. Kristittyjä on monia, jotka menevät kirkkoon ja sanovat uskovansa ja jopa tekevät tunnustekoja ja ihmeitä, just like the church at Corinth, Mutta todellisuudessa, are not in the faith. How do you know if you are in the faith? How do you examine yourself, oletko uskossa?

Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except (unless you don’t stand the test) ye be reprobates (2 korinttilaisille 13:5)

How do you know if you are in the faith?

Totisesti, totisesti, Minä sanon teille, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me (Jussi 13:20)

By faith in Christ and through regeneration, you have died as son of the devil and are risen as son of God in Him. You have become a son of God and have received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in you, whereby Christ lives in you and with Christ, Isä Jumala. You have become one with God.

When you received the Holy Spirit and Christ; the Word lives in you, you became an enemy of the world, just like Jesus and His disciples.

Kun he saivat Pyhän Hengen, they didn’t belong to the world anymore. Siitä hetkestä lähtien, they were not loved and accepted by everyone, but they experienced resistance and persecution. Koska Pyhä Henki, Who dwelled in them testified in them, että maailman teot (synti) were evil.

Siksi, ne, who belonged to the world and were sons of the devil, tried to silence the sons of God (Lue myös: Miksi maailma vihaa kristittyjä?)

How do you know if Christ lives in you?

Joka on Jumalasta, kuulee Jumalan sanat: ette siis kuule niitä, koska te ette ole Jumalasta (John 8:47)

When you are born of God and have received the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ lives in you, you shall receive His words. You shall depart from your words, because your words will make way for His words.

You shall renew your mind with the words of God, jotka on kirjoitettu Raamattuun, so that your mind will be renewed en get in alignment with the Word of God.

The mind of the old man shall be transformed with the words of God so that you will have the mind of Christ.

You shall no longer think and live from your flesh, but you shall think and live from the Spirit, by the words of God (1 korinttilaisille 2:16).

His words shall be seeds in your life, which shall grow and produce fruit in your life, uskon kautta, tottelevaisuus, kärsivällisyyttä, and by doing, so that the Word takes shape and becomes visible in your life.

When Jesus lives in you, the Word lives in you, and you shall receive His words and be obedient to the Word.

But if you don’t receive the words of Jesus and don’t uudistaa mielesi Jumalan sanoilla, but instead rebel and reject His words and keep doing your own will, you shall not receive Jesus and therefore Jesus doesn’t live in you.

You shall have a reprobate mind and the mind of the world, which is enmity against God and therefore you shall live as an enemy of God in rebellion against His Word (Lue myös: Tuomittu mieli iloitsee synnistä ja nauttii niistä, jotka tekevät syntiä).

You can say that you have received the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ lives in you, but your speech, toimia, and the way you live shall betray you and testify that it is not true.

The words of Jesus are the words of the Father

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. Ja se tulee tapahtumaan, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

Älä usko, että minä olen Isässä, ja Isä minussa? sanoja, jotka puhun teille, en puhu itsestäni: vaan Isä, joka minussa asuu, Hän tekee töitä (John 14:10)

I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Sinun ne olivat, ja sinä annoit heille Minun; ja he ovat pitäneet sinun sanasi. Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest me; ja he ovat saaneet ne, ja tiedän varmasti, että minä olen sinusta lähtenyt, ja he uskovat, että sinä lähetit minut (John 17:6-8)

The words of Jesus are the words of the Father. When you are born of God, you shall receive the words of Jesus. But if you are not born of God, you shall not receive the words of Jesus.

If you don’t receive the words of Jesus, you don’t receive the words of the Father and don’t’ receive Him, but reject Him.

Jeesuksen sanat ovat henki ja elämä

Se on Henki, joka elävöittää; liha ei hyödytä mitään: sanat, jotka puhun sinulle, he ovat henkeä, ja ne ovat elämää (John 6:63)

The words of Jesus are spirit and life and feed the spirit of the new man, so that the new man matures.

The words of Jesus bring forth life in the life of the new man, but at the same time, the same words of Jesus will kill the old man.

That’s why the old man doesn’t want to read and study the Bible and hear, take and do the words of God, since this means the end of the walk of the old man.

And many are not willing and prepared to riisua vanha mies ja pukea päälle uusi mies.

They can’t let go of the past and want to live like the world and live the way they want to live after the lusts and desires of the flesh. They consider the words of Jesus as outdated and judgmental and according to them, you may not judge people.

Mutta Jeesus sanoo, that the words, He spoke shall judge him in the last days. Therefore it’s better to hear and believe His words and repent and lay down the works of the old man during your life on earth, than being judged by the same words, which Jesus spoke and through disobedience to the words of God be sentenced to eternal death and cast into the eternal lake of fire (John 12:47-48, Paljastus 20:15).

The words of Jesus produce life and peace

Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle, Jos mies rakastaa minua, Hän pitää sanani: ja <y Father will love him, Ja tulemme hänen luokseen, ja asumme hänen luonaan. Hän, joka rakastaa minua, ei pidä sanani: ja sana, jonka te kuulette, ei ole minun, Mutta isä, joka lähetti minut. Nämä asiat olen puhunut sinulle, olla vielä läsnä kanssasi. Mutta Lohduttaja, joka on Pyhä Henki, whom the Father will send in My Name, Hän opettaa sinulle kaiken, ja muistakaa kaikki, mitä tahansa olen sanonut sinulle. Rauhan jätän sinulle, Rauhani minä annan sinulle: ei niinkuin maailma antaa, annan sinulle. Älä anna sydämesi olla levoton, älä myöskään anna sen pelätä (John 14:23-27)

Niinkuin Isä on minua rakastanut, niin olen rakastanut sinua: jatkakaa minun rakkaudessani. Jos pidät käskyni, Te pysyy rakkaudessa; niinkuin minä olen pitänyt Isäni käskyt, Ja noudata hänen rakkauttaan (John 15:9-10).

As long as you abide in the Word and His words abide in you, you shall produce fruit in your life and experience the Jumalan rauhaa and His life in your life.

The peace of God shall always be present and shall not come and go, since the peace of God doesn’t depend upon natural elements, like situations, ympäristöön, ihmiset, Tunteita, tunteet, jne.

God reigns through His Word in those, who hear and do His words.

When a person decides to not listen and not do the words of God, the person rejects God and lives in rebellion against God.

As long as you experience all kinds of fears and anxiety and don’t experience a continuous inner peace and rest in your life, you haven’t received His words and obeyed and applied His words in your life. Sen sijaan, the words of the world still reign in your unrenewed carnal mind and your life.

If you haven’t received His words, you don’t possess His words and Jesus Christ doesn’t live in you. Because Jesus; Sana, promised that He would leave His peace and give it to those, who receive Him, love Him and therefore obey Him and serve Him.

Ne, who have received His words and walk after His words in righteousness shall experience the peace of God and His life in their lives.

They shall not be bound to death and walk in unrighteousness and produce the fruit of death, mikä on syntiä, and be burdened and tormented with all kinds of fears and anxious and depressive thoughts, which wander through their minds and cause agitation.

But they shall experience the peace of God, joka ylittää kaiken ymmärryksen, through the words of God, with which they have renewed their mind and obey and do in their lives and therefore live in them.

As long as the words of the world reign in someone’s life, the person is not in faith.

Jeesus on Elävä Sana

Alussa oli Sana, ja Sana oli Jumalan luona, ja Sana oli Jumala. Sama oli alussa Jumalan kanssa. Kaikki asiat ovat Hänen luomiaan; ja ilman Häntä ei syntynyt mitään, mikä olisi tehty. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not (John 1:1-5)

Ja Sana tuli lihaksi, ja asui keskuudessamme, (ja me katselimme hänen kunniaansa, Isän ainokaisen kirkkaus,) täynnä armoa ja totuutta (John 1:14)

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:1-3)

Jesus is the Living Word of God, Who walked on earth and lived among the people. Jesus was a faithful Witness of God, Who didn’t speak His own words, but He only spoke the words of God to the people (John 14:10, Paljastus 1:5).

Wherever Jesus came, Jesus brought peace ja Jumalan elämä, by preaching the truth of God, kutsua ihmisiä parannukseen, and destroying the works of the devil.

Jesus walked after the Spirit in obedience to the words of God and He called those things, which were not as though they were.

By preaching the Kingdom of God and calling the people to katumus Jesus distributed life, unlike many believers, who nowadays do the exact opposite.

They remain the old carnal man and speak vain words from their prideful and carnal mind, jotka ovat todellisuudessa valheita, and exalt themselves above the words of God.

Unspiritual people, who do not have the Spirit and the Word

They are unspiritual carnal people, who don’t have the Spirit of God and the Word of God. Therefore they don’t speak the words of God from the Spirit, but they speak the words of the world from the flesh (lihallinen mieli, tunteet, Tunteita, jne.) and don’t preach peace and don’t bring forth life in the lives of people, but the exact opposite.

They are not distributors of life, kuin Jeesus, but they are distributors of death, by compromising with the kingdom of darkness and allowing the people to live in disobedience to God, synnissä, and not call them to repentance

They don’t walk in obedience to God in the love of God and don’t correct and lead the people, the way Jesus did, through His confronting and correcting words, which came from God and contained the truth and the way to eternal life.

But these unspiritual people, want to be liked by the people and don’t want to experience resistance and persecution. Siksi, they lead the people with their flattering humanistic words, which derive from the world and their emotions and feelings and look like the words of love, Mutta todellisuudessa, carry the death in them and therefore many people are being deceived and misled and led to hell.

They are not preachers of righteousness and Life, kuin Jeesus, Who spoke hard words, but they are preachers of unrighteousness and death, like the devil, who spoke flattering words, which led to the fall of mankind.

Therefore many believers keep living after the flesh and remain servants of the kingdom of darkness. Instead of being converted and laying down their flesh in which the sin nature dwells and through regeneration enter into the Kingdom of God and renew their minds with the words of God, submit to the words of God and obey and do the words of God in their lives.
