自分自身を吟味する, あなたが信仰を持っているかどうか

聖書は次のように述べています。 2 コリント人への手紙 13:5 自分自身を吟味するために, あなたが信仰を持っているかどうか, そして、自分自身を証明してください. クリスチャンはたくさんいます, 教会に行って、信じていると言ったり、しるしや不思議さえ行う人, just like the church at Corinth, しかし実際には, are not in the faith. How do you know if you are in the faith? How do you examine yourself, あなたが信仰を持っているかどうか?

Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except (unless you don’t stand the test) ye be reprobates (2 コリント人への手紙 13:5)

How do you know if you are in the faith?

まさに, まさに, 私はあなたに言います, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me (ジョン 13:20)

By faith in Christ and through regeneration, you have died as son of the devil and are risen as son of God in Him. You have become a son of God and have received the Holy Spirit. 聖霊はあなたの中に住んでいます, whereby Christ lives in you and with Christ, 父なる神. You have become one with God.

When you received the Holy Spirit and Christ; the Word lives in you, you became an enemy of the world, just like Jesus and His disciples.

彼らが聖霊を受けたとき, they didn’t belong to the world anymore. その瞬間から, they were not loved and accepted by everyone, but they experienced resistance and persecution. 聖霊だから, Who dwelled in them testified in them, 世界の作品が (罪) were evil.

したがって, それらの, 彼らはこの世に属し、悪魔の子たちでした, tried to silence the sons of God (こちらもお読みください: なぜ世界はキリスト教徒を嫌うのか?)

キリストがあなたの内に生きているかどうかをどうやって知ることができますか?

神の彼は神の言葉を聞きます: したがって、あなたは彼らを聞きません, あなたがたは神ではないからです (ジョン 8:47)

When you are born of God and have received the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ lives in you, you shall receive His words. You shall depart from your words, because your words will make way for His words.

You shall renew your mind with the words of God, 聖書に書かれていること, so that your mind will be renewed en get in alignment with the Word of God.

The mind of the old man shall be transformed with the words of God so that you will have the mind of Christ.

You shall no longer think and live from your flesh, but you shall think and live from the Spirit, by the words of God (1 コリント人への手紙 2:16).

His words shall be seeds in your life, which shall grow and produce fruit in your life, through faith, 従順, 忍耐, and by doing, so that the Word takes shape and becomes visible in your life.

When Jesus lives in you, the Word lives in you, and you shall receive His words and be obedient to the Word.

But if you don’t receive the words of Jesus and don’t 心を新たにする神の言葉とともに, but instead rebel and reject His words and keep doing your own will, you shall not receive Jesus and therefore Jesus doesn’t live in you.

You shall have a reprobate mind and the mind of the world, which is enmity against God and therefore you shall live as an enemy of God in rebellion against His Word (こちらもお読みください: 非難する心は罪を喜び、罪を実践する人々を喜びます).

You can say that you have received the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ lives in you, but your speech, アクション, and the way you live shall betray you and testify that it is not true.

The words of Jesus are the words of the Father

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. そしてそれは実現するだろう, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him (申命記 18:18-19)

私が父親にいるということではありません, そして私の父? 私があなたに話す言葉は、私自身について話すものではありません: しかし、私の内に住んでおられる父は, 彼はその仕事をする (ジョン 14:10)

I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: 彼らはあなたのものでした, そしてあなたは彼らに私を与えました; そして彼らはあなたの言葉を守りました. Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest me; そして彼らはそれを受け取りました, そして私があなたから出てきたことを確かに知っています, そして彼らはあなたが私を遣わしたと信じています (ジョン 17:6-8)

The words of Jesus are the words of the Father. あなたが神から生まれたとき, you shall receive the words of Jesus. But if you are not born of God, you shall not receive the words of Jesus.

If you don’t receive the words of Jesus, you don’t receive the words of the Father and don’t’ receive Him, but reject Him.

The words of Jesus are spirit and life

生かされるのは御霊です; 肉は何も利益を得ません: 私があなたに話す言葉, 彼らは精神です, そしてそれらは人生です (ジョン 6:63)

The words of Jesus are spirit and life and feed the spirit of the new man, so that the new man matures.

The words of Jesus bring forth life in the life of the new man, but at the same time, the same words of Jesus will kill the old man.

That’s why the old man doesn’t want to read and study the Bible and hear, take and do the words of God, since this means the end of the walk of the old man.

And many are not willing and prepared to 老人を放り出すそして新しい男を着る.

They can’t let go of the past and want to live like the world and live the way they want to live after the lusts and desires of the flesh. They consider the words of Jesus as outdated and judgmental and according to them, you may not judge people.

しかしイエスは言います, that the words, He spoke shall judge him in the last days. Therefore it’s better to hear and believe His words and repent and lay down the works of the old man during your life on earth, than being judged by the same words, which Jesus spoke and through disobedience to the words of God be sentenced to eternal death and cast into the eternal lake of fire (ジョン 12:47-48, 暴露 20:15).

The words of Jesus produce life and peace

イエスは答えて、彼に言った, 男が私を愛しているなら, 彼は私の言葉を守ります: そして <y Father will love him, そして、私たちは彼に来ます, そして彼と一緒に私たちの住居を作りましょう. 私を愛している彼は、私のことわざではありません: そしてあなたが聞いている言葉は私のものではありません, しかし、私を送った父親. これらのことを私はあなたに話しました, まだあなたと一緒にいる. しかし、掛け布団は, それは聖霊です, whom the Father will send in My Name, 彼はあなたにすべてのことを教えてくれるでしょう, そしてすべてを思い出に残してください, 私があなたに何を言ったとしても. あなたに残す平和, 私の平和をあなたに与えます: 世界が与えるようなものではない, 私をあなたにあげます. あなたの心を悩ませないようにしましょう, どちらも恐れさせません (ジョン 14:23-27)

父が私を愛してくださったように, だから私はあなたを愛していました: あなたがたは私の愛の中に留まり続けなさい. もしあなたがたが私の戒めを守るなら, あなたがたは私の愛にとどまるでしょう; 父の戒めを守りながらも, そして神の愛の中にとどまりなさい (ジョン 15:9-10).

As long as you abide in the Word and His words abide in you, you shall produce fruit in your life and experience the 神の平和 and His life in your life.

The peace of God shall always be present and shall not come and go, since the peace of God doesn’t depend upon natural elements, like situations, 環境, 人々, 感情, 感情, 等.

God reigns through His Word in those, who hear and do His words.

When a person decides to not listen and not do the words of God, the person rejects God and lives in rebellion against God.

As long as you experience all kinds of fears and anxiety and don’t experience a continuous inner peace and rest in your life, you haven’t received His words and obeyed and applied His words in your life. その代わり, the words of the world still reign in your unrenewed carnal mind and your life.

If you haven’t received His words, you don’t possess His words and Jesus Christ doesn’t live in you. Because Jesus; 言葉, promised that He would leave His peace and give it to those, who receive Him, love Him and therefore obey Him and serve Him.

それらの, who have received His words and walk after His words in righteousness shall experience the peace of God and His life in their lives.

They shall not be bound to death and walk in unrighteousness and produce the fruit of death, これは罪です, and be burdened and tormented with all kinds of fears and anxious and depressive thoughts, which wander through their minds and cause agitation.

But they shall experience the peace of God, それはすべての理解を通過します, through the words of God, with which they have renewed their mind and obey and do in their lives and therefore live in them.

As long as the words of the world reign in someone’s life, the person is not in faith.

イエスは生きた言葉です

初めに言葉がありました, そして言葉は神と共にあった, そして言葉は神だった. 初めは神も同じでした. すべてのものは神によって造られた; そして彼なしでは何も造られなかった。. 彼の中に命があった; そしてその命は人間の光だった. そして光は暗闇の中で輝きます; そして闇はそれを理解できなかった (ジョン 1:1-5)

そして言葉は肉となった, そして私たちの間に住みました, (そして、私たちは彼の栄光を見ました, 父の唯一の栄光,) 恵みと真実に満ちています (ジョン 1:14)

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 ジョン 1:1-3)

Jesus is the Living Word of God, Who walked on earth and lived among the people. Jesus was a faithful Witness of God, Who didn’t speak His own words, but He only spoke the words of God to the people (ジョン 14:10, 暴露 1:5).

Wherever Jesus came, イエスは平和をもたらしましたそして神の命, by preaching the truth of God, 人々に悔い改めを呼び掛ける, and destroying the works of the devil.

Jesus walked after the Spirit in obedience to the words of God and He called those things, which were not as though they were.

By preaching the Kingdom of God and calling the people to 悔い改め Jesus distributed life, unlike many believers, who nowadays do the exact opposite.

They remain the old carnal man and speak vain words from their prideful and carnal mind, 実際には嘘であるもの, and exalt themselves above the words of God.

Unspiritual people, who do not have the Spirit and the Word

They are unspiritual carnal people, who don’t have the Spirit of God and the Word of God. Therefore they don’t speak the words of God from the Spirit, but they speak the words of the world from the flesh (肉体的な心, 感情, 感情, 等) and don’t preach peace and don’t bring forth life in the lives of people, but the exact opposite.

They are not distributors of life, イエスのように, but they are distributors of death, by compromising with the kingdom of darkness and allowing the people to live in disobedience to God, 罪の中で, and not call them to repentance

They don’t walk in obedience to God in the love of God and don’t correct and lead the people, the way Jesus did, through His confronting and correcting words, which came from God and contained the truth and the way to eternal life.

But these unspiritual people, want to be liked by the people and don’t want to experience resistance and persecution. したがって, they lead the people with their flattering humanistic words, which derive from the world and their emotions and feelings and look like the words of love, しかし実際には, carry the death in them and therefore many people are being deceived and misled and led to hell.

They are not preachers of righteousness and Life, イエスのように, Who spoke hard words, but they are preachers of unrighteousness and death, like the devil, who spoke flattering words, which led to the fall of mankind.

Therefore many believers keep living after the flesh and remain servants of the kingdom of darkness. Instead of being converted and laying down their flesh in which the sin nature dwells and through regeneration enter into the Kingdom of God and renew their minds with the words of God, submit to the words of God and obey and do the words of God in their lives.
