Եթե դուք կրկին ծնվել եք Քրիստոսով, you are no longer a child of the devil, but you have become a child of God. But what does it mean to be a child of God? Because there are a lot of people, who say they are born again, but still walk as the old creation after the flesh and live the same lives as those, ովքեր պատկանում են աշխարհին.
Becoming a child of God
Ահաւասիկ, ինչպիսի սեր է տվել մեզ Հայրը, որ մենք Աստծո որդիներ կոչվենք: ուստի աշխարհը մեզ չի ճանաչում, որովհետև դա նրան չէր ճանաչում. Սիրելի, հիմա մենք Աստծո որդիներն ենք, և դեռ չի երևում, թե մենք ինչ կլինենք: բայց մենք դա գիտենք, երբ Նա կհայտնվի, մենք Նրա նման կլինենք; for we shall see Him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, նույնիսկ քանի որ նա մաքուր է. Ով որ մեղք է գործում, օրինազանց է նաև օրենքը: քանզի մեղքը օրենքի խախտում է. Եվ դուք գիտեք, որ Նա հայտնվեց մեր մեղքերը վերացնելու համար; և Նրա մեջ մեղք չկա. Ով որ բնակվում է Նրա մեջ, չի մեղանչում: ով որ մեղանչում է, նրան չի տեսել, ոչ էլ ճանաչել Նրան (1 Ջոն 3:1-6)
When you become a child of God; Աստծո որդի, Քրիստոսի վերածննդի միջոցով, դու սուրբ և արդար եղար. As a child of God you have become holy and righteous and therefore you shall walk in holiness, and in righteousness. You shall live according to His will and you shall keep His commandments, because His Holy Spirit abides in you.
Because the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you have received His nature and you shall live from your new nature. You have crucified your old nature (ձեր մարմինը), և ստացել են Նրա էությունը, therefore you shall walk in this new nature Հոգուց հետո.
Դու ես Նստած Հիսուս Քրիստոսի մեջ Աստծո աջ կողմում. That’s your new place.
Before you got վերստին ծնված, your place was on this earth, and you were subjected to all powers and forces of darkness, that rule in this world. You were their slave, and they ruled over you (Մարմնի մեջ).
Did they have the right to rule over you? Actually not, because Jesus took their authority, but they just did it anyway, and they still do it.
They still have the ability to work in the flesh (հոգին և մարմինը) of men, and as long as a person walks after the flesh, he/she shall be dominated by these forces.
But Jesus didn’t suffer and didn’t give up His own life, (համար Աստծո կամքը) քեզ համար, so that you will be dominated, and ruled by these wicked forces of the enemy.
It was God’s will that you would become a child of God; Նրա երեխան; Նրա որդին; նոր ստեղծագործություն, born out of His Spirit, living in holiness and righteousness, and being completely obedient to the Word of God.
Նստած Հիսուս Քրիստոսի մեջ
When you walk after the Spirit and stay in Him (stay in His Word), then you shall sit at the right hand of God. You shall sit, with Jesus Christ, Երկնային վայրերում, և reign with Him above all powers of darkness.
When you take your position in Him, և ապրել ըստ Նրա կամքի, only then shall you be able to create order on this earth.
Աշխարհը մեկ մեծ քաոս է
There are all kinds of things going on in this world; պատերազմներ, ժանտախտ, բնական աղետներ, etc. People are living after the lusts and desires of their flesh, they do what they want and do everything that God has forbidden.
The main spirit of this world is to live for the ‘self’ and fulfill their own lusts and desires.
People live after the flesh. Այո՛, even ‘Christians’ are partakers of this world, they want to be accepted by the world, and they want to be liked and adapt their behavior.
There is hardly any distinction in lifestyle between a sinner, and a Christian. They both live according to their own will, their own lusts, եւ ցանկություններ.
The only difference is that the so-called Christian uses the grace of God to justify sins and to keep sinning.
Where are the saints?
But where are the saints, Հիսուս Քրիստոսի մեջ? Where did they go? Where are:
- The saints who walk in holiness and righteousness and turn away from evil; from sin
- The saints who walk in humility and submission to the will of God instead of their own will and the will of people
- The saints who walk in the authority of Jesus Christ and keep His commandments.
- Սրբերըobey the Word of God instead of adjusting the Word of God to a worldly lifestyle that is full of sins
Who dares to take a stand for God and His Word and stand against this world system?
Who dares to take a stand for Jesus Christ?
As soon as you become a child of God, you don’t belong to the world anymore and therefore the world shall not recognize you այլեւս, that’s what the Word says.
Այն world shall not understand you and therefore you shall not be able to have communion with the world. You live in another Kingdom, then the world lives in.
The world is not able to comprehend the things of the Spirit, because they are not born again in the Spirit, and don’t have the Holy Spirit of God abiding in them.
But what do most Christians do in this age? They don’t walk, as a child of God anymore. But they live like the world (who have the devil as their father).
Many Christians are not children of obedience but have become prideful rebellious children, who walk in Աստծուն անհնազանդություն.
Նրանք մարմնավոր են և քայլում են մարմնի հետևից, and therefore pride and rebellion are part of their character.
The ‘self’ is king in their lives. They do what they want, live the way they want to live, and satisfy the lust and desires of their flesh.
But as soon as someone disobeys the Word of God; Հիսուս, ապա (ս)he lives in rebellion, նրա դեմ, and therefore lives in sin.
Why did Jesus walk without sinning?
Why did Jesus walk without sinning? Because Jesus loved God, His Father above all, and therefore Jesus was obedient to the will of His Father. Jesus did whatever pleased God. Because of the fact that Jesus stayed in God’s will and kept His commandments, there was no sin in His life and there’s still no sin in Him.
Երբ ապրում ես Քրիստոսով, it means that you live according to the Word; Նրա կամքը.
As long as you keep walking after His will, եւ պահիր նրա պատվիրանները, you withdraw yourself from sin.
That’s why it’s so important to know the Word, so that you will learn His will. Խոսքի միջոցով, դուք կճանաչեք Նրան, and when you obey the Word you shall live according to His will.
If you love Him and keep His commandments, you will stay in Him and shall not walk in sin.
But if you become disobedient to Him and don’t keep His commandments, you shall leave Him, and you shall walk in sin.
If you keep walking in sin, it means that you don’t love Him. Even when you say that you do love Him. Հիշել, your actions speak louder than words. Ձեր գործողությունները ցույց են տալիս, ով ես դու իրականում:
- a child of God, who believe His Word and obeys His Word and keeps His commandments and walks after the Spirit, կամ
- սատանայի զավակ, who believe the words of the world and obeys them and keeps the commandments of the world, and walks after the flesh.
