Það eru kristnir, who wonder if they are born again and have become a son of God (Þetta á bæði við um karla og konur). They doubt their salvation and wonder if they have received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. How do you know if you are born again and have become a son of God? What are the characteristics of a son of God according to the Bible?
A change of kingdom
Þakkir til föðurins, sem hefur gert okkur mæta til að vera hluttakendur í arfleifð hinna heilögu í ljósi: Sem hefur skilað okkur frá krafti myrkursins, og hefur þýtt okkur í ríki kæru sonar síns: Í hverjum við höfum innlausn í blóði hans, Jafnvel fyrirgefning synda (Kólossubúar 1:12-14)
Því að lögmál anda lífsins í Kristi Jesú hefur frelsað mig frá lögmáli syndar og dauða (Romans 8:2)
Þegar þú iðrast, by faith in Jesus Christ and His work of salvation and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, you are born again and have become a son of God.
A change has taken place in the spiritual realm. When you died to the flesh and your spirit was raised from the dead, you were transferred from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God. This change of kingdom means a change of (andlegt) citizenship and a change of Law.
Through regeneration you have become a new creation; a new man and your nature has changed.
A son of God experiences a change of nature
En allir sem tóku á móti honum, þeim gaf hann vald til að verða synir Guðs, jafnvel þeim sem trúa á nafn hans: Sem fæddust, ekki af blóði, né um vilja holdsins, né af vilja mannsins, en af Guði (John 1:13-14)
Sjá, hvers konar kærleika faðirinn hefur sýnt okkur, að vér skulum kallast synir Guðs: þess vegna þekkir heimurinn oss ekki, því það þekkti hann ekki (1 John 3:1)
The nature of the father of fallen man (Djöfullinn) has died with your flesh. Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the Father of the new man (Guð) came to life.
Once you have received the Holy Spirit, heilagur andi er í þér. Therefore you don’t have to call upon the Holy Spirit and invite Him over and over again. Because once the Holy Spirit comes in you, He will abide in you and be forever with you (a.o. John 14:17).
Að minnsta kosti, as long as you decide to stay in Christ, live after God’s will and not depart from Christ. How do you depart from Christ? By walking after the will of the flesh, in which the devil reigns, and living like the world.
God replaces the heart of stone by a heart of flesh
Og ég mun gefa þeim eitt hjarta, og ég mun setja nýjan anda innra með þér; og ég mun taka steinhjarta úr holdi þeirra, og mun gefa þeim hjarta af holdi: Til þess að þeir megi ganga eftir lögum mínum, og halda helgiathafnir mínar, og gerðu þá: Og þeir munu vera mitt fólk, Og ég mun vera þeirra Guð (Esekíel 11:19-20)
Í gamla sáttmálanum, God made His will known to the gamall maður, by giving the Law to Moses. God gave the Law 50 dögum eftir páska.
Í nýja sáttmálanum, God made His will known to the new man by giving His Holy Spirit. Guð gaf sinn heilaga anda 50 dögum eftir páska. (Lestu líka: Hvað gerðist 50 dögum eftir páska?).
The evil heart of stone, in which the will of the devil was written and always exalts itself above God and resists the will of God and His commandments was replaced by a living heart of flesh, in which the will of God was written. (Lestu líka: Hvað er illt hjarta?).
Í gegnum vistun heilags anda, the Law of God, sem táknar vilja hans, is written in your new heart.
The Holy Spirit represents, Rétt eins og Jesús, the will of the Father and His righteousness and holiness. He reproves the world of sin, réttlæti, og dómur.
A son of God will experience a change of behavior
Af hverju skilur þú ekki ræðu mína? Jafnvel vegna þess að þið heyrið ekki orð mín. Þér eruð af föður þínum djöfullinn, Og girnd föður þíns munuð gera það. Hann var morðingi frá upphafi, og banna ekki í sannleikanum, Vegna þess að það er enginn sannleikur í honum. Þegar hann talar lygi, Hann talar af eigin raun: því að hann er lygari, og faðir þess. Og af því að ég segi þér sannleikann, Þið trúið mér ekki. Hver ykkar sannfærir mig um synd? Og ef ég segi sannleikann, Af hverju trúðu þér ekki? Sá sem er frá Guði heyrir orð Guðs: Þið heyrið þá ekki, Vegna þess að þér eruð ekki af Guði (John 8:43-47)
Ég tala það sem ég hef séð með föður mínum: og þér gjörið það, sem þér hafið séð hjá föður yðar (John 8:38)
The change of kingdom and the change of nature will cause a change of behavior. You shall no longer walk as the old man in pride after the carnal wisdom, þekking, mun, and the unsatisfied lusts and desires of the flesh. You shall no longer live like the world in unrighteousness and sin.
Due to the change of heart and nature, you shall walk as the new man after the Spirit in righteousness. You shall live after the will of God and keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Because you’ve received His nature and His will abides in you and you love Jesus, you shall do what He commands you to do. (Lestu líka: Boðorð Guðs og boðorð Jesú).
A son of God does by nature the things contained in the law
Fyrir eins marga og syndgað án laga mun einnig farast án laga: og eins og margir og syndgaðir í lögunum skal vera dæmdir með lögunum; (Því að ekki eru heyrendur laganna rétt fyrir Guð, En gerendur laganna skulu vera réttlætanlegir. Því þegar heiðingjar, sem hafa ekki lög, gera í eðli sínu það sem lögin fela í sér, þessar, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: sem sýna verk lögmálsins ritað í hjörtum þeirra, samviska þeirra ber líka vitni, og hugsanir þeirra meina á meðan þeir ásaka eða afsaka hver annan;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel (Romans 2:12-16)
Fyrir það sem lögin gátu ekki gert, í því að það var veikt í gegnum holdið, Guð sendir sinn eigin son í líkingu syndugs holds, og fyrir synd, fordæmt synd í holdinu: Til þess að réttlæti lögmálsins rætist í oss, sem ganga ekki eftir holdinu, en eftir andanum (Romans 8:3-4)
When you have become a son of God, you shall do the moral part of the law by nature. Since the law is the will of God. You shall be a law unto yourself and fulfill the law, Rétt eins og Jesús. (Lestu líka: Er maðurinn fær um að uppfylla lögmálið??).
Hver eru einkenni sonar Guðs?
What are the most important characteristics of a son of God? The most important characteristics of a son of God are not charity works and humanitarian works. The characteristics of a son of God are not signs and wonders either. Vegna þess að Jesús sagði, there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, who shall do great signs and wonders. They shall be so great that if it were possible, they’ll deceive the very elect (a.o. Matthías 24:24, Mark 13:22).
The words of Jesus show that you don’t have to be born again to walk in the supernatural and do signs and wonders. Signs and wonders don’t proof that you are a son of God. (Lestu líka: Þarftu að endurfæðast til að ganga í hinu yfirnáttúrulega?).
A son of God shall love and fear the Lord and walk in righteousness
By the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (Orðskviðir 16:6)
But the characteristics of a son of God are that a son of God loves God with all his heart, sál, Hugur, and strength and fears the Lord. Therefore the son shall depart from evil (synd og ranglæti) and shall no longer walk in unrighteousness. But the son shall walk in obedience to God in righteousness. (Lestu líka: Elskar þú Guð af öllu hjarta?).
A son of God shall never compromise with sin and shall never tolerate and accept the works of the kingdom of darkness. But a son of God exposes the works of darkness and destroys and removes them.
When someone has become a son of God and the Holy Spirit abides in the person, the person shall do the Vilji Guðs. Since the person is born of God and has the nature of God.
The righteous works, which originate from God’s nature, prove that the person is a son of God. Because it proves that the person has the same nature as his Father.
A son of God shall never approve the works of the devil. Let alone to walk in it.
Because they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (Galatabréf 5:24)
A son of God is led by the Spirit
Því að ef þér lifið eftir holdinu, Þér munuð deyja: en ef þér í gegnum andann dauðfaðu verk líkamans, Þér skuluð lifa. Fyrir eins marga og stýrt er af anda Guðs, Þeir eru synir Guðs (Romans 8:13-14)
A son of God shall walk after the Spirit in the truth of God. Therefore a son of God shall walk in the will of God.
A son of God shall speak the truth of God. He shall expose and destroy the lies and works of the devil through the Word in the authority of Jesus (the Name of Jesus) og kraftur heilags anda.
A son of God bears the fruit of the Spirit
A son of God walks after the Spirit and shall bear the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is righteous, Ást (love for God and out of that love, the love for your neighbor), gleði, Friður, Longsuffering, hógværð, Góðvild, Trú, hógværð, skaplyndi. (Lestu líka: Ávöxtur andans)
Jesús sagði, that you shall recognize the tree by its fruit and that is still the case.
Synir Guðs gera vilja föður síns
Því að hver sem gjörir vilja Guðs, Sama er bróðir minn, og systir mín, og móðir (Mark 3:35)
A son shall listen to his father and obey his father and shall do the will of his father. Because a son has the nature of his father.
Therefore the sons of God, who have the nature of God shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to His Word. They shall do the will of their Father. Just like the sons of the devil, who have the nature of the devil, shall listen to their father. They shall walk after the flesh in obedience to his words and do the will of their father.
