Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God (Kolose 2:18-19)
Melalui iman dan kelahiran kembali di dalam Kristus, kamu telah menjadi anak Allah (ini berlaku untuk pria dan wanita) and received an inheritance in Christ. You’ve been made righteous in Him and received power and authority to walk as a son of God in the truth of God on earth. (A.O. Yohanes 1:17, Galatia 6:3:26-27, Roma 8:14-19, Efesus 5:1-6, Filipi 2:15, 1 Yohanes 3:1-10; 5:2).
Jesus Christ is the Mediator of the New Covenant and Head of the Church
Karena itu, saudara laki-laki, keberanian untuk masuk ke tempat maha suci oleh darah Yesus, Dengan cara baru dan hidup, yang dia tuduhkan untuk kita, melalui tabir, artinya, Daging-Nya; And having an High Priest over the House of God; Mari kita mendekat dengan hati yang benar dalam jaminan penuh iman, memiliki hati kita ditaburkan dari hati nurani jahat, Dan tubuh kita dicuci dengan air murni (Ibrani 10:19-22)
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time (1 Timotius 2:5-6)
Yesus Kristus adalah Jalannya, kebenaran, dan Kehidupan. Jesus made the way through the cross and His blood. Sehingga, the people that by faith in Christ are born again in Him, may come boldly before the Father. (A.O. Yohanes 14:6, Efesus 2:18; 3:12).
The new man doesn’t need the mediation of angels and/or doesn’t need angels to communicate with God
Yesus Kristus adalah Perantara Perjanjian Baru. The new man received the Holy Spirit and is connected with God the Father and Jesus Christ; Firman. Nothing and no one, not even angels, stands in between.
Rakyat, who walk in the vanity of their minds and are puffed up
Namun, ada orang, who don’t know the Word personally and are ignorant about the truth of God. Bahkan ada orang, who stand in the pulpit, who don’t know the Word personally. They’re ignorant about the truth of God and therefore keep the people ignorant.
They may seem humble in the eyes of carnal man, because of their pious words and humanistic behaviour,. Namun, they are not humble in the eyes of God.
They walk in the vanity of their minds and exalt themselves above God, by putting their words above the words of God and preaching human doctrines and carnal philosophies instead of believing and preaching the redemptive work and inheritance in Christ and walking in it.
Instead of repenting and walking after the Spirit in the truth of God, they remain carnal. They live as enemies of the cross in subjection to the powers, penguasa, and authorities of darkness and are inspired and led by them.
They don’t believe in the perfect redemptive work of Christ and don’t walk in the authority of Christ. Alih-alih, they walk in false humbleness and deny by their words and walk the greatness, kekuatan, and the work of God, the blood and the cross and deny Jesus Christ.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God (Kolose 2:18-19)
Paul warned the saints to let no one beguile them of their reward and lose their salvation by voluntary humility and worshipping of angels.
Paul commanded them to stay faithful and obedient to Jesus Christ, kepala gereja. He commanded them to walk in His commandments instead of walking after the traditions of man, the rudiments of this world, and according to what carnal people beheld in the supernatural.
Paul commanded them to walk after the Spirit and not return to the flesh.
Because there were many false teachers, yang bersifat duniawi. They walked from their state as the old man in kerendahan hati yang palsu and worshipped angels.
They were puffed up by their carnal minds and exalted themselves above others because of what they beheld in the supernatural. But they didn’t walk after the will of God and not held the Head of the Church, Yesus Kristus, dan perintah -perintahnya.
By faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to the Head, the church receives the increase of God
It’s only Jesus Christ from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increased with the increase of God. Therefore it’s only by faith in Jesus Christ and submission and obedience to Him and His commandments that the Church receives the increase of God.
But these false teachers placed the angels, who are servants of God, di atas Yesus Kristus. They denied the redemption of man and the reconciliation and unity between the new man and God. They preached all kinds of doktrin palsu, whereby they deprived the saints of their salvation.
The lies and temptations of the devil
Dan tidak mengherankan; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Oleh karena itu, tidak ada gunanya jika menteri-menterinya juga menjelma menjadi menteri-menteri kebenaran; yang kesudahannya akan sesuai dengan perbuatan mereka (2 Korintus 11:14-15)
The devil has not changed and his lies and tactics are still the same. Sayangnya, they still work. All because of the ignorance of Christians and deviating from the words of God, yang merupakan kebenaran.
Iblis (and his angels) come as an angel of light with his lies, which are wrapped up in a little bit of truth.
He comes through dreams and visions and tries to tempt believers and convince them of his truth.
Sayangnya, many people fall for his lies. They believe his lies above the Truth of God because of a kurangnya pengetahuan tentang Firman Tuhan.
And so they walk according to the words of the devil in his wil instead of walking according to the words of God in His will.
There are many false doctrines that derived from the flesh through inspiration of evil spirits through dreams, Visi, dll.. They led many Christians astray and still lead many Christians astray.
Doktrin yang salah, which are wrapped up in a little bit of truth and are indiscernible from the truth of God to the old man. And because many people stay the old man, many false doctrines are allowed into the church.
Jangan biarkan siapa pun memperdaya Anda akan upah Anda!
Berjuanglah dalam pertandingan iman yang benar, Pegang Hidup Kekal, di mana kamu juga dipanggil, dan Hast menyatakan profesi yang baik di hadapan banyak saksi (1 Timotius 6:12)
Berbahagialah orang yang bertahan dalam godaan: karena ketika dia diadili, dia akan menerima mahkota kehidupan, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him (Yakobus 1:12)
Jangan takut pada hal-hal yang akan kamu derita: melihat, iblis akan menjebloskan sebagian dari kamu ke dalam penjara, supaya kamu diadili; dan kamu akan mengalami kesengsaraan sepuluh hari: setialah sampai mati, and I will give thee a crown of life (Wahyu 2:10)
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, Aku juga akan menjagamu dari saat pencobaan, yang akan menimpa seluruh dunia, untuk menguji mereka yang diam di bumi. Melihat, Saya datang dengan cepat: Peganglah puasa yang kamu punya, agar tak seorang pun mengambil mahkotamu (Wahyu 3:10-11)
But the Church is supposed to be spiritually awake and stay watchful. The Church should remain obedient to the Word and not deviate from the Word. Because only through submission and obedience to the Head Jesus Christ; Firman, you shall receive your reward.
Karena itu, let no one beguile you of your reward and deprive your salvation. But stay in Christ and through obedience to Him stand on the Word.
