कुलुस्सियों में 2:13-15 पॉल ने कुलुस्से के संत को यीशु मसीह के मुक्ति कार्य के बारे में लिखा, कैसे यीशु ने रियासतों और शक्तियों को नष्ट कर दिया और खुलेआम उन पर विजय प्राप्त करने का दिखावा किया, 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?
और आप, अपने पापों और अपने शरीर की खतनारहितता में मरे हुए हो, उस ने उसके साथ मिलकर जिलाया, मैंने तुम्हारे सारे अपराध क्षमा कर दिये हैं; उन अध्यादेशों की लिखावट को मिटाना जो हमारे खिलाफ थे, जो हमारे विपरीत था, और उसे रास्ते से हटा दिया, इसे उसके क्रूस पर चढ़ाना; और उन्होंने रियासतों और शक्तियों को नष्ट कर दिया, उन्होंने खुलेआम उनका प्रदर्शन किया, इसमें उन पर विजय प्राप्त करना (कुलुस्सियों 2:13-15)
Before your repentance and regeneration in Christ, तुम्हारी आत्मा मर चुकी थी. You lived from a fallen position under the authority of death. In your carnal and uncircumcised state, आप थे (आध्यात्मिक) 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.
यीशु मसीह में विश्वास और उसमें पुनर्जन्म के द्वारा, you are circumcised in the मसीह का खतना. 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 (जो मर चुका था) is quickened with Him. इसके कारण, the power of sin and death is broken over your life.
और आप जल्दी करते हैं, जो अतिचारों और पापों में मर चुके थे; जिसमें समय के साथ तुम इस दुनिया के पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार चले गए, हवा की शक्ति के राजकुमार के अनुसार, वह आत्मा जो अब अवज्ञा के बच्चों में काम करती है: जिनके बीच हम सब ने भी अतीत में अपने शरीर की अभिलाषाओं में बातचीत की थी, शरीर और मन की इच्छाओं को पूरा करना; और स्वभावतः क्रोध की सन्तान थे, even as others.But God, जो दया में समृद्ध है, अपने महान प्रेम के लिए वह हमसे प्यार करता था, यहां तक कि जब हम पापों में मर चुके थे, ने हमें मसीह के साथ मिलकर तेज कर दिया, (अनुग्रह द्वारा ये बच गए हैं;) और हमें एक साथ उठाया, और हमें मसीह यीशु में स्वर्गीय स्थानों में एक साथ बैठा दिया: आने वाले युगों में वह मसीह यीशु के माध्यम से हमारी दयालुता में उसकी कृपा में उसकी कृपा के धन को पार कर सकता है
इफिसियों 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. मसीह में नये जन्म के माध्यम से, you have received God’s nature and you shall fulfill in Him the law. (रोमनों 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 (जॉन 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.
उसके महान प्रेम के कारण, Jesus Christ also carried the capital punishment for your trespasses and पाताल लोक में प्रवेश किया (नरक) आपके लिए. 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; उसका शासन, 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, पाप, and iniquity and pay the price? (ये भी पढ़ें: 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.
इसका क्या मतलब है, Jesus Christ has spoiled principalities and powers and made a shew of them openly, इसमें उन पर विजय प्राप्त करना?
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, but was stolen by the devil. 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 चाबियाँ 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.
संयमित रहो, सावधान रहिए; क्योंकि तुम्हारा विरोधी शैतान है, एक दहाड़ते हुए शेर के रूप में, घूमता रहता है, इस खोज में है कि वह किसे निगल जाए
1 पीटर 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, चुराना, kill and destroy people (जॉन 10:10 (ये भी पढ़ें: शैतान का सिंहासन).
लोग, जो मसीह में फिर से जन्मे हैं और एक नई रचना बन गए हैं, don’t belong to the devil anymore.
They’re delivered from the power of the devil and healed from their fallen position और भगवान के साथ सामंजस्य स्थापित किया.
They are seated in Christ in the heavenly places. They reign with Christ over all principalities, पॉवर्स, इस संसार के अंधकार के शासक, और ऊंचे स्थानों पर आत्मिक दुष्टता. (ओह. मैथ्यू 12:29, ल्यूक 11:22, इफिसियों 1:20; 6:12).
The devil has no power (अधिकार) over them and can’t accuse them anymore. That’s because of the crucifixion of their flesh, whereby they’re redeemed from the power (अधिकार) अंधकार के साम्राज्य का, पाप और मृत्यु.
इसके बाद मैं आपसे ज्यादा बात नहीं करूंगा: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in Me. परन्तु इसलिये कि जगत जाने कि मैं पिता से प्रेम रखता हूं; और जैसे पिता ने मुझे आज्ञा दी, फिर भी मैं ऐसा करता हूँ
जॉन 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. तथापि, if you know आप मसीह में कौन हैं 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 बूढ़े आदमी को हटा दो और नए आदमी को पहनो 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, टेम्पटेशन, and obstacles in the flesh, and try to make you a slave of sin again.
But as long as you fear and अपने सम्पूर्ण हृदय से परमेश्वर से प्रेम करो and be faithful to God and stay in Christ; the Word and obey His words and keep उसकी आज्ञाएँ, 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. इसलिए, the devil and all the principalities and powers of darkness have no power (अधिकार) over you. जब तक, you give them power (अधिकार) 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.
