Koliko ljudi vjeruje u Boga? I koliko ljudi koji vjeruju u Boga vjeruju u grijeh? Grijeh je izraz koji se često koristi u crkvi, dok mnogi kršćani zapravo ne znaju značenje grijeha. Kao rezultat, they are lukewarm and indifferent towards sin and the consequences of sin in people’s lives. Što je s tobom, do you believe in sin?
Do Christians believe in sin?
Naravno, I believe in sin, would be the answer of most Christians. Ali je li to istina, do they really believe in sin?
If Christians would believe and would really know what sin means and what sin does to people, then many Christians would not deal with sin, the way they deal with sin today, and no longer live the way the live.
If Christians would believe in sin, they wouldn’t consider sin as normal and tolerirati grijeh i nastavi griješiti.
They wouldn’t be prideful and live in rebellion against God in disobedient to His Word, but they would repent of their pride and rebellion and remove sin from their lives and from their midst. (Oh. Matej 4:17; Ocjena 1:15; Luke 13:2-9; 24:47; Ivan 5:14; 8:11-34; djela 2:38; 3:19).
What does sin mean?
Sin means disobedience to God and His Word and the transgression of His laws (zapovijedi), which are settled forever from the beginning of the creation.
Od Bog je Stvoritelj of the heaven and the earth and the King of the universe, the laws of His Kingdom are eternal.
Kršćani, who believe in God and through the new birth in Christ received His Spirit, shall no longer live in pride, pobuna i neposlušnost Bogu.
To je zato što Duh Sveti, Tko u njima obitava, doesn’t rebel and oppose God and His Word.
The true believers shall believe and obey His words and do His commandments.
Zbog ovoga, they shall live by faith after the Spirit in submission to Christ in obedience to God’s will according to His Law, and establish His Law on earth (Rimljani 3:31).
The unbelievers that belong to the world don’t believe in sin and hell
Međutim, Nevjernici, koji pripadaju svijetu i vladaru svijeta (vrag) i smrt, don’t believe in God. They don’t believe that God’s words are the truth and don’t believe in sin.
Sin doesn’t exist for the world. Zapravo, they mock at sin (Izreke 14:9)).
They believe that sin and hell are lies. Prema njima, sin and hell are inventions of people, who tried to influence others and win them through these scare tactics for Christendom and cause them to live according to what they believed and preached.
But the unbelievers believe the words of their father, vrag, who is a liar and the father of fallen man, who lives in darkness under the authority of death.
The devil indoctrinated them with his lies, making them believe that sin and hell don’t exist and are a fable of people.
Ali Bog nije lažac, the devil is a liar.
God revealed sin through His Word and His Spirit
God revealed sin through His righteous Word and His Holy Spirit. God revealed sin and the iniquity of man in the Bible; through His words and His Law, which reveals God’s holiness.
Then Jesus Christ, the Son and living Word of God, came in the likeness of a sinful flesh and walked in righteousness. Kao spotless Lamb, Jesus took the sin and iniquity of man upon Him. As proof thereof, Isus je otišao u pakao and defeated the death. Nakon tri dana, rose as Victor from the dead.
Jesus showed that sin and the punishment of sin, što je smrt, and hell are real, instead of inventions of people.
Sada, the Holy Spirit still testifies in the new creation of sin, pravednosti, and of the judgment of God.
The world doesn’t believe in sin and doesn’t need a sacrifice for sin
But the world doesn’t believe this truth. The world rejects this truth of God and doesn’t believe in sin and therefore lives in sin. And if you don’t believe in sin, you don’t need a sacrifice for the atonement of sin. Zbog tog razloga, many people reject the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and despise His blood.
The cross is foolishness to unbelievers instead of a place of repentance, the cruxifixction of the flesh, the deliverance of the old man and the beginning of a new life on the way to eternal life.
And because the church allowed the spirit of this world to enter and has become world like, Christians have become indifferent towards sin and consider the things that God calls evil and sin, normal and good, whereby there shall come a time, that eventually the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and through His sacrifice the new birth in Him, shall disappear from the church.
narod, who keep sinning don’t believe in sin
God doesn’t consider people, who don’t love Him and therefore don’t do what He says and don’t keep His commandments but serve other gods and believe in other religions and philosophies, good but evil. In contrary to the world that consider it good.
The same applies to children and adults that don’t honor their parents. God considers this evil, but the world considers it normal and approves this behavior.
Laganje, krađa, idolopoklonstvo, čarobnjaštvo, vještičarenje, bludništvo (suživot, sexual relationships outside marriage, homoseksualnost, pornografija, itd.), preljuba, razvod, pohlepa, mržnja, abortus, eutanazija, samoubojstvo, excessive drinking and eating, itd. are also not considered evil but normal and approved.
Međutim, all these works are not the works of the Spirit and don’t belong to the fruit of the Spirit. These works are the works of the flesh and belong to the fruit of the death that reigns in the lives of fallen man (Oh. Rimljani 6:9-23; Galaćanima 5:19-26).
Sin is the fruit of death
The world lives in darkness under the authority of the death and bears the fruit of death in the flesh which is sin.
Stoga, people who bear the fruit of death which is sin, show through their works and lives that they belong to the devil and death instead of Jesus Christ and the life.
They don’t live in the truth of the Light, that says, grijeh vodi u smrt and that everyone that is born of God belongs to God and does’t keep sinning, but walks in righteousness (Oh. Ivan 8:43-48; 1 Ivan 2:28; 3).
But they live in the lie of darkness, that says, through the redemptive work of Christ you live in the New Covenant and under grace you can keep sinning bez posljedica.
But children of God don’t sin, children of the devil sin.
If Christians would believe in sin, they would consider sin as evil and repent of sin and remove the sins from their lives and walk on the narrow way, instead of tolerating sin and walking in sin as transgressors of God’s Word and Law on the broad way.
Jer kad ste bili sluge grijeha, bili ste slobodni od pravednosti. Kakav ste plod tada imali u onim stvarima kojih se sada stidite? jer kraj tih stvari je smrt. Ali sada oslobođen od grijeha, i postali sluge Božje, imate svoj plod na svetost, a kraj život vječni. Jer plaća za grijeh je smrt; ali dar Božji je vječni život po Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,
Rimljani 6:20-23
The revelation of righteousness and sin (dobro i zlo)
Before the coming of the Holy Spirit in the new man, God kept His people that were born of the seed of Israel through obedience to the Law of Moses that revealed God’s righteousness and sin.
But before the coming of the Mojsijev zakon, man had already a choice to obey and serve God by doing good or to not obey and serve God by doing evil.
Because after the fall; after man sinned by eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man received knowledge of good and evil in his fallen nature. Sin is revealed to all people through their conscience that bears witness of good and evil.
Stoga, na Sudnjem danu, no one can offer a legal excuse that exonerate them for their disobedience to God and their deliberate choice to keep sinning.
Because besides the fact that the creation testifies of God, everybody knows deep down inside that lying, krađa, idolopoklonstvo, vještičarenje, preljuba, bludništvo, razvod, deceiving, mrziti, ubijanje, itd. is not good, because the conscience testifies that these works are evil to God, Who is the Creator of the conscience of man.
Problem je, that many people’s conscience are seared with a hot iron.
Sada Duh govori ekspresno, da će u posljednjim vremenima neki odstupiti od vjere, dajući pažnju zavodljivim duhovima, i doktrine đavola; Govorenje laži u licemjerju; pekući im savjest užarenim željezom
1 Timothy 4:1-2
‘Budi sol zemlje’
