Chez Colossiens 2:13-15 Paul a écrit au saint de Colosses à propos de l'œuvre rédemptrice de Jésus-Christ, comment Jésus a gâché les principautés et le pouvoir et a fait semblant d'en triompher ouvertement, and the new position of the saints and believers in Christ Jesus.
What does it mean being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh?
Et toi, être mort dans vos péchés et l'incirconcision de votre chair, a-t-il vivifié avec Lui, je t'ai pardonné toutes mes offenses; Effacer l'écriture des ordonnances qui étaient contre nous, ce qui nous était contraire, et je l'ai retiré du chemin, le clouant à sa croix; Et ayant gâté les principautés et les puissances, Il en a fait une démonstration ouvertement, triomphant d'eux là-dedans (Colossiens 2:13-15)
Before your repentance and regeneration in Christ, Votre esprit était mort. You lived from a fallen position under the authority of death. In your carnal and uncircumcised state, vous étiez (spirituellement) dead to God. You didn’t belong to God and lived separated from Him.
Your carnal mind was enmity against God. Your trespasses that originated from your sinful nature of the flesh (your evil nature, depraved nature) separated you from God. Because as long as you remain uncircumcised, the sinful nature of the flesh reigns in your life.
As long as the flesh reigns in your life, you shall be led by the will, lusts and desires of your flesh and persevere in sin and unrighteousness.
What does it mean that He has quickened you together with Christ?
Being quickened together with Christ means that you were dead in trespasses and sins, but through faith and regeneration in Christ, God has raised you from the dead and made you alive with Christ.
Par la foi en Jésus-Christ et la régénération en Lui, you are circumcised in the circoncision du Christ. The circumcision in Christ means, you put away the sinful flesh through baptism and rose from the dead in Him. Your flesh died in Christ and your spirit (qui était mort) is quickened with Him. À cause de ça, the power of sin and death is broken over your life.
Et tu as été vivifié, qui étaient morts dans leurs offenses et leurs péchés; Où autrefois vous marchiez selon le cours de ce monde, selon le prince de la puissance de l'air, l'esprit qui agit maintenant chez les enfants de la désobéissance: Entre lesquels aussi nous avons tous eu notre conversation dans le passé dans les convoitises de notre chair, satisfaire les désirs de la chair et de l'esprit; et étaient par nature les enfants de la colère, even as others.But God, qui est riche en miséricorde, pour son grand amour avec lequel il nous a aimés, Même quand nous étions morts dans nos péchés, nous a vivifiés avec Christ, (par grâce vous êtes sauvés;) Et nous a élevés ensemble, et nous a fait asseoir ensemble dans les lieux célestes en Jésus-Christ: Afin que, dans les siècles à venir, Il puisse montrer les richesses infinies de Sa grâce dans Sa bonté envers nous par Jésus-Christ
Éphésiens 2:1-7
All your trespasses have been forgiven
All your trespasses; all your sins and iniquities have been forgiven and done away. The handwriting of ordinances that was against you, which was contrary to you, was blotted out. Jesus took it out of the way and nailed it to His cross.
You are no longer a trespasser of the law aka a sinner. But you have been made righteous in Christ by His blood. Par la nouvelle naissance en Christ, you have received God’s nature and you shall fulfill in Him the law. (Romains 3:31).
Jesus executed the judgment of this world and cast out the prince of this world
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me (John 12:31-32)
When you were united with Christ and became one with Him through the cross, you were acquitted from all your trespasses and the punishment for your trespasses.
Jesus Christ took all your trespasses upon Himself at the cross.
Christ carried the punishment you deserved because of your trespasses at the cross.
À cause de son grand amour, Jesus Christ also carried the capital punishment for your trespasses and Entré Hadès (enfer) pour toi. So that you wouldn’t see the death and enter hell.
The devil thought he was victorious and that the Son of God was in his power. But it was all in God’s plan.
Christ had to come under the devil’s power; sa domination, since fallen man was under the rulership of the devil. How could Jesus become otherwise the Substitute for fallen man and carry man’s disobedience, péché, and iniquity and pay the price? (Lire aussi: The head of the devil bruised because the heel of Jesus was bruised).
By carrying the sin and iniquity of mankind in His flesh at the cross, Jesus carried all the trespasses of fallen man. The people that would believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God and Saviour of mankind and make Him Lord of their lives, and accept His sacrifice, would be cleansed by His blood from all their trespasses and be delivered from the power of sin and death.
Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, Jesus Christ has spoiled principalities and powers and made a shew of them openly, triomphant d'eux là-dedans?
By His blood and His redemptive work, Jesus Christ has spoiled principalities and powers and made a shew of them openly triumphing over them in it. Jesus had total victory over the devil, sin and death and the whole army of the kingdom of darkness.
Jesus legally took back the authority which God had originally given to man, mais a été volé par le diable. He rose from the death with the keys of hell and death.
Although Jesus has spoiled principalities and powers and made a shew of them openly triumphing over them in it and has les clés of hell and death, the devil and the principalities and powers of the kingdom of darkness are not cast in the eternal lake of fire yet.
This means that the devil is still the ruler of this world and the father of fallen man, and as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
Soyez sobre, Soyez vigilant; parce que ton adversaire est le diable, comme un lion rugissant, se promène, cherchant qui il peut dévorer
1 Pierre 5:8
The adversary the devil still walks about as a roaring lion
The devil is still the adversary of God and all those who belong to Him and are born of Him. His fight is not over yet. The devil is still a liar and a thief. He still walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.
The devil and his demons lie, tempt, voler, kill and destroy people (John 10:10 (Lire aussi: Le trône de satan).
les gens, who are born again in Christ and have become a new creation, don’t belong to the devil anymore.
They’re delivered from the power of the devil and healed from their fallen position et réconciliés avec Dieu.
They are seated in Christ in the heavenly places. They reign with Christ over all principalities, pouvoirs, Dirigeants des ténèbres de ce monde, et la méchanceté spirituelle dans les hauts lieux. (Oh. Matthieu 12:29, Luc 11:22, Éphésiens 1:20; 6:12).
The devil has no power (autorité) over them and can’t accuse them anymore. That’s because of the crucifixion of their flesh, whereby they’re redeemed from the power (autorité) du royaume des ténèbres, le péché et la mort.
Désormais je ne parlerai plus beaucoup avec toi: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in Me. Mais pour que le monde sache que j'aime le Père; et comme le Père m'a donné le commandement, même ainsi je le fais
John 14:30-31
The devil can’t accuse you anymore
The devil can bring back sins from your former life into your remembrance and accuse you with these sins. Cependant, if you know qui tu es en Christ and know and believe the Word of God that all your sins have been forgiven and done away, the devil will not succeed. Because you will put him to silence with the truth of the Word.
If you renew your mind with the Word of God and repousser le vieil homme et mets le nouvel homme and stay in Christ and walk after the Word and the Spirit, the devil shall not be able to accuse you. If you live according to the will of God, there’s nothing he can accuse you of.
Ofcourse the devil will do everything in his power to stop you from preaching the gospel of Christ and bring the Kingdom of God to the people and win souls. The devil will do everything he can to win you back for himself and his kingdom and bring you under the authority of death again.
He shall accuse you and tempt you to sin through his lies, tentations, and obstacles in the flesh, and try to make you a slave of sin again.
But as long as you fear and aime Dieu de tout ton coeur and be faithful to God and stay in Christ; the Word and obey His words and keep Ses commandements, the devil shall not be able to touch you and accomplish his mission.
Jesus spoiled principalities and powers and triumphed over them
Jesus has spoiled principalities and powers and triumphed over them. Donc, the devil and all the principalities and powers of darkness have no power (autorité) over you. Sinon, you give them power (autorité) by submitting yourself to them again by listening to them and disobeying God and doing what they want you to do and persevere in sin.
