私たちはもはや法律の下にいません, しかし、恵みの下, is used by many Christians to exculpate themselves from their duty and responsibilities to keep the commandments of Jesus and fulfill the great commission and walk as sons of God (これは男性と女性の両方に当てはまります) after the Spirit in holiness in God’s will. As soon as you confront a person with something that opposes the Word and will of God, 頼りにできるよ, that the person will use, とりわけ, ローマ人 6:14 to make sinning all right and approve what is evil. クリスチャンはたくさんいます, who turn evil into good and keep sinning under grace. But what does the Bible say about being under grace? 恵みの下で罪を犯し続けることができますか?
それはどういう意味ですか, you are not under the law but under grace?
罪はあなたよりも支配を持ってはならないからです: for you are not under the law, しかし、恵みの下 (ローマ人 6:14)
There are also many preachers, who use Romans 6:14 to approve, tolerate and accept all behavior, lifestyles, and all things that oppose God’s Word and His will. They use it, so that no one has to change and can stay the way they are and live like the world.
彼らによると, it doesn’t matter how you live and what you do, because you are under grace. したがって, the time of laws, 戒め, ルール, and regulations is over. Now you can live the way you want to live. Because Jesus has dealt with the sin problem. He took all the sins of the world away, so that you can no longer walk in sin. Sin doesn’t exist anymore, それらに, who believe in Him and are transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God.
Jesus hasn’t only dealt with all the sins of your former life, but also with the sins, you keep doing in your new life. したがって, you won’t have to confess your sins all the time, because that will only cause feelings of guilt and according to them, that’s not the will of God.
There is already enough misery and judgment in churches and the world and that’s why Christians may live in ‘freedom’, in the love and grace of God, doing what they want to do without submitting to what is written in the Bible, because that belongs to religion and legalism and is old-fashioned and obsolete. (こちらもお読みください: What is the difference between religion and relation?).
By preaching this message, whereby the truth of God is mixed with the lies of people, they please the people, and receive honor and praise from the people, and protect themselves from the resistance and persecution of the world.
But where do we read in the Bible all these things that they say? どこに書かれていますか, それ:
- There is no more sin and that a person can no longer habitually sin?
- You won’t have to change?
- どう生きても問題ない?
- The new creation is allowed to live in sin?
- God tolerates and approves sin?
If it doesn’t matter to God how you live, and that God approves that His children live in sin, then why did Jesus have to come to the earth to deal with the sinful nature of (落ちた) 男? Why weren’t the sacrifices of animals good enough to (一時的に) reconcile the sins of people, since they would keep falling back in sin and keep sinning?
A call to holiness and the removal of sins
But as discussed in previous blog posts, 御言葉によると, it does matter how you live in the New Covenant, which is sealed with the precious blood of Jesus. We read in the Bible, that Jesus and the apostles called the believers; the saints unto holiness. They commanded them to remove the sins from their lives. (こちらもお読みください: 「恵みの海に迷って’, ‘What is grace?' そして '律法と恵みの違いは何ですか?’)
Because what happened in the spiritual realm, namely that they had become in Jesus Christ a 新しい創造 and that they were redeemed from their flesh, 罪深い性質が存在するもの, had to become visible in the natural realm, による 老人を先送りにします (肉) そして 新しい男を着る (精神).
それらの, who use, とりわけ, ローマ人 6:14 to approve, tolerate and accept all behavior and all things, that go against God’s will and to keep living after the flesh, often forget to read and study scriptures in the right context. They are unspiritual and have created their own ideas, 所見, and opinions, that is mainly formed by the knowledge and wisdom of the world. In order to empower and confirm their ideas, 意見, と調査結果, they pick and choose scriptures and take them out of their context. That also applies to Romans 6:14, because the verses that are written before and after verse 14, are never discussed. したがって, let’s have a look in what context Romans 6:14 is written and what else is written in the Bible about the grace of God, and if it’s allowed to habitually keep living in sin after a person is born again.
Death unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ
それでは、何と言いますか? 罪を続けましょう, その恵みはたくさんあるかもしれません? 神は禁じられています. どうやって, それは罪に死んでいます, もうそこに住んでください? わからない, イエス・キリストへのバプテスマを受けた私たちの非常に多くが、彼の死へのバプテスマを受けました? したがって、私たちは彼と一緒に洗礼を受けて死ぬことによって埋葬されています: それはキリストが父の栄光によって死から育てられたように, それでも私たちは人生の新しさの中を歩くべきです.
私たちが彼の死の肖像の中で一緒に植えられたなら, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: これを知って, 私たちの老人が彼と一緒に十字架につけられていること, 罪の体が破壊される可能性があること, 今後、私たちは罪に奉仕するべきではありません. 死んでいる彼は罪から解放されているからです. 今、私たちがキリストと一緒に死んでいるなら, 私たちも彼と一緒に暮らすと信じています: キリストが死んだことから育てられていることを知っている; 死は彼にこれ以上支配的ではありません. その中で彼は亡くなったからです, 彼は一度罪に亡くなりました: しかし、その中で彼は生き生きとしています, 彼は神に住んでいます. 同様に、あなたは自分自身も本当に罪に死んでいると考えています, しかし、私たちの主イエス・キリストを通して神に生きています.
したがって、罪を犯さないようにしましょう, あなたがたはその欲望でそれに従うべきだということ. どちらもあなたがあなたのメンバーを罪に不義の道具として譲らない: しかし、神に自分自身を譲ります, 死から生きている人として, そして、あなたのメンバーは神への義の道具として. 罪はあなたよりも支配を持ってはならないからです: あなたがたは法律の下ではないからです, しかし、恵みの下. (ローマ人 6:1-14)
イエスは私たちに示してくださった, 何 罪 does with a person’s life: 罪は死につながります. Through His perfect work of redemption, Jesus died once and for all unto sin, 死から育った, and is forever seated at the right hand of God. By His work and His blood, Jesus brought redemption to those, 彼を信じる人は, 悔い改める, 自らの命を捨てる そして 彼についていく.
通じて 再生, you are baptized in Christ into His death and that’s why, あなたは, 彼と同じように, 一度だけ, died unto sin.
罪, that reigned and ruled as king in your flesh; the sinful nature of the old carnal man, who is bound to the law, no longer exists after you become born again. Because the old man (肉), in whom sin and death have dominion and for whom the law of sin and death was intended, is crucified and has died in Christ.
If your flesh is dead, you can no longer walk after the desire of the flesh and habitually live in sin and keep sinning. Only when your flesh has died, only then are you dead to sin and its power.
When you were baptized in Christ, you were not only a partaker of His death, but you were also a partaker of His resurrection. 聖霊の力によって, your spirit is raised from the dead and is made alive to God. あなたは、 新しい創造; a son of God and have been granted access to the Kingdom of God and are reconciled with Him.
Since God is righteous, and you are born of Him (再生を通じて) you shall obey Him and walk in righteousness after the spirit. あなたがイエス・キリストの内に留まる限り、; the Word and live after イエス’ 戒め, which are also God’s commandments, and keep walking after the spirit, you shall walk in righteousness and bear the fruit of the Spirit (1 ジョン 2:28-29, 1 ジョン 3:1-7, 9).
Servants of sin or servants of righteousness?
それでは何? 私たちは罪を犯しましょうか, 私たちは法律の下ではないからです, しかし、恵みの下? 神は禁じられています. わからない, あなたがあなたが従うためにあなた自身の召使をもたらす人, 彼の召使いあなたがたはあなたがたが従う人です; 死に対する罪のかどうか, または正義への服従? しかし、神は感謝されます, あなたがたは罪の召使でした, しかし、あなたがたはあなたに届けられた教義の形の心から従った. その後、罪から自由になります, あなたがたは義のしもべになりました. 私はあなたの肉の弱さのために男性の方法の後に話します: あなたがたがあなたのメンバーの召使を不安にし、不法に不法に譲ったので; それでも今、あなたのメンバーの使用人を聖性に義に譲る.
あなたがたが罪の召使だったとき, あなたがたは正義から解放されていました. あなたがたはあなたがたを持っていたものはあなたがたは今恥ずかしいものです? それらの終わりは死だから. しかし、今では罪から解放されています, そして、神のしもべになります, あなたがたはあなたの果物を神聖さに持っています, そして終わりの永遠の人生. 罪の賃金は死です; しかし、神の贈り物は私たちの主イエス・キリストを通して永遠の命です (ローマ人 6:15-23)
If a person claims to be born again, but keep walking after the flesh in obedience to the desires of the flesh and fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and therefore keep living in sin and is not willing to remove them, then this proves that the flesh of the person is not crucified in Christ, but is alive and kicking.
As long as the flesh is alive and kicking, the flesh isn’t dead and therefore the person is not redeemed from the flesh and is still a sinner. Because a 罪人, 肉を追って歩く, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, そして罪を犯し続ける.
As long as a person stays carnal and walks after the flesh and persevere in sin, then the person is still bound to 罪と死の法則. The works of the person; 罪, prove that the person is a sinner; a son of the devil and belongs to the kingdom of darkness (1 ジョン 3:7-8). Because the sin, which comes forth out of the sinful nature of the flesh, 罪と死が支配する, still has dominion over the person and still reigns as king in the life of the person.
死の実は罪だからです, and the person is not redeemed from sin, the person is also not redeemed from death.
Using the grace of God to fulfill the carnal lusts and desires
気づかずに忍び込んできた男たちがいるから, 昔、この罪に定められた者たちは, 不敬虔な男たち, 私たちの神の恵みを淫らに変える, そして唯一の主なる神を否定する, そして私たちの主イエス・キリスト (ジュード 1:4)
It’s not about what preachers and leaders of the church preach and teach, and what kind of spiritual revelations, ビジョン, 夢, prophecies or messages by angels they receive, but it’s all about what the Word of God says, because the Word is the truth and is 信頼性のある and shall eventually judge every person, 彼らの作品によると (ジョン 12:48, 暴露 20:12-13).
説教者, 使徒達, 伝道者, 教師, and prophets can say, that it’s all grace and that you won’t have to change because it doesn’t matter how you live and what you do.
They can use the grace to keep living after the flesh, fulfilling the lusts and desires of the flesh and therefore turn the grace of God into lasciviousness. しかし, by preaching this message they deny our Lord Jesus Christ and prove, that they don’t know Him experientially. Because the Word of God says something else.
残念ながら, because of the fact that many believers don’t read and study the Word of God by themselves and don’t have a personal relationship with the Word; Jesus Christ and therefore have a lack of knowledge of God’s Word, they believe the words of these leaders.
しかし御言葉はこう言っています, that as long as a person keeps living in sin and persevere in sin, then the person is not saved and not redeemed of the flesh. Because as long as a person keeps living in sin, それは肉体で君臨します, then from what has the person been redeemed and saved from? If they are saved from death, then they wouldn’t produce the fruit unto death anymore (つまり. ローマ人 6, ローマ人 7:4-6, ローマ人 8, ガラテヤ人への手紙 5:24, エペソ人への手紙 2:1-6).
As long as a person persevere in sin and therefore bear fruit unto death, the person has not repented, 生まれ変わらない, and has not become a son of God, but is still a 悪魔の奴隷 そして肉, 罪と死が支配する (1 ジョン 3:7-10)
How do you discern the sons of God from the sons of the devil?
Because a person is a slave, to whom the person belongs to and to whom the person listens to and obeys. A person lives after the flesh in the kingdom of darkness under the dominion and rulership of the devil and is, そこで, a slave of sin unto death, or the person lives after the spirit in the Kingdom of God under the dominion and rulership of Jesus Christ and is a slave of righteousness unto life. 言葉が言っているからです, それ, who do righteousness, are righteous, as He is righteous.
小さな子供たち, 誰にも騙されないでください: 正義を行う者は正義である, 彼は正義の人であっても. 罪を犯す者は悪魔に属する者である; 悪魔のために、最初から罪を犯します. この目的のために、神の子は現れました, 悪魔の業を滅ぼすためである. 神から生まれた人は誰でも罪を犯さない; 彼の種は彼の中に残っているからです: そして彼は罪を犯すことができない, 彼は神から生まれているからです. この中に神の子たちが現れています, そして悪魔の子供たち: 義を行わない者は神から出たものではない, 兄弟を愛さない者も (this last part regarding loving your brother, doesn’t mean accepting the sins of your brother. こちらもお読みください「Walking in love’ そして ‘偽りの愛とは何ですか?’ (1 ジョン 3:7-10))
この地球上の人生において, there are two options: you can either be a son of God or son of the devil. You can’t be both. Your actions and works prove, whose son you are and to whom you belong.
あなたは言うことができます, that you believe and that you are a son of God, but if you keep sinning and willfully keep doing those things, 神の意志に反するもの, and are not willing to submit yourself to the Word, but want to stay a friend of the world and approve his evil works, then you are not a son of God, even if you say you are.
言葉が言っているからです, that you are a son of the devil, who walks after the will of the devil and does and approves the works of the devil, これは罪です.
Because sin is the opposite of righteousness and those, who don’t do righteousness are not of God. みんな, who stays in Christ doesn’t habitually sin. 御言葉は言う, みんな, who habitually sin, has not seen Jesus, neither has known Him experientially.
罪を犯す者は法律にも違反します: 罪は法律を犯すことだから. そしてあなたがたは、神が私たちの罪を取り除くために現れたことを知っています。; そして彼の中には何の罪もありません. 神のうちにとどまる者は誰でも罪を犯さない: 罪を犯した者は誰でも神を見たことがない, どちらも彼を知りませんでした. (1 ジョン 3:4-6)
Living as the old man
多くの信者がいます, who think and say that they are born again and are spiritual, because they walk in the supernatural, but keep living as the old carnal man in sin. But you don’t have to be born again to walk in the supernatural, and receive visions, 啓示, prophecies and do signs and wonders (こちらもお読みください: 「Two ways to enter the spiritual realm’)
それが理由です, Jesus warned His followers, that at the end of times, 多くの 偽キリスト (イエスの追随者) そして 偽預言者 shall come, who perform great supernatural signs and wonders (つまり. マシュー 24:11, 24-28). But even if someone performs many miracles and receive many supernatural revelations and prophecies, then these things don’t prove if that person is a son of God and belongs to Christ. Only by the works, that a person does, and the fruit the person bears (this doesn’t mean charity works, which the world does as well, but the works of righteousness and the 御霊の実), you can tell whether the person belongs to Jesus or the devil.
暗闇から光に移されます
If you have been transferred from the darkness into the light, from death unto life, then your spiritual eyes will be opened and you shall see the evil of sin and the power of death and don’t want to be a partaker of them anymore. But as long as you keep walking in darkness, and stay bound by death, by walking after the flesh, you shall remain spiritually blind and not be aware of the evil of sin and the power of death. Therefore you shall keep living in sin and approve and tolerate sin.
As long as the church doesn’t consider sin as evil and as something bad, but considers sin as normal and as something that’s just part of life, then this proves that there is something wrong with the church, 信仰, and the gospel that is preached. Because the gospel, that they preach is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, どっち 人間に悔い改めを呼び掛ける and brings deliverance and produces life, but is a gospel of man, that causes bondage to sin and produces death.
What happens if you willfully keep sinning?
なぜなら、私たちが故意に罪を犯したとしても、その後、私たちは真理の知識を得たことになるからです。, 罪のための犠牲はもうありません, しかし、ある種の恐るべき裁きと激しい憤りを求めている, それは敵をむさぼり食うだろう (ヘブライ語 10:26-27)
You cannot use the 神の恵み to keep living after the flesh, 肉の欲望と欲望を満たすこと. 神の恵みは罪を続けるための免許ではありません. 御言葉は言う, that after you have received the knowledge of the truth, but willfully keep sinning, もう罪のための犠牲は残らないということ, but a fearful expectation of judgment
Who reigns as king in your life?
さらに法律が入りました, 犯罪が多発するかもしれない. しかし、罪がはびこる場所には, 恵みはさらに豊かになりました: 罪が死に至るまで支配したように, たとえそうであっても、私たちの主イエス・キリストによって恵みが義を通して永遠の命に至るまで統治するかもしれません。 (ローマ人 5:20-21)
Jesus came to this earth to deal, 一度だけ, with the sinful nature of fallen man. イエスは悪魔の業を滅ぼしました, みんながそうするように, 彼を信じている人, 悔い改める, そして生まれ変わる, will no longer be a slave of the flesh, in which the devil reigns through sin and death. The new man is redeemed and bought by the blood of Jesus and doesn’t belong to the devil anymore and therefore the person will no longer do the works of the flesh and bear the fruit unto death by living in sin (ローマ人 7:5-6), but shall do the works of righteousness and bear the fruit for God unto life.
の new man has received all authority and all power in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, to know 神の意志 and resist the temptations of the devil and the desires of the flesh. As long as you stay in Him and keep walking after the Spirit, you will be able to resist all the temptations of the devil and therefore be an overcomer of sin and death. Not by your own might and power, which means not by the power and ability of the flesh by using all kinds of carnal human techniques and methods, but by the power of the Word and the Holy Spirit.
御言葉は言う, that if you are under grace, you cannot keep sinning, because you shall do the works of righteousness. 罪を犯し続けるなら, then you are not under grace. Because sin reigns as king in your life, instead of righteousness reigns as king.
If you do the works of righteousness, then grace shall have dominion in your life and shall reign as king, and you shall be under grace.
