Ing Roma 8:10, Paul nulis, If Christ is in you, badan wis mati amarga dosa; nanging Roh iku urip marga saka kabeneran. Apa tegese Paulus? Kepiye carane sampeyan ngerti yen Kristus ana ing sampeyan? What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ in you?
When do you belong to Christ?
When you have become a new creation in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, you belong to Christ.
By faith in Jesus Christ and through regeneration in Him, Sampeyan wis dadi putrane Gusti Allah (Iki ditrapake kanggo wong lanang lan wadon). Your flesh has died in Jesus Christ and your spirit that was dead has been raised from the dead by the power of God and has become alive.
If your flesh with its sinful nature has died, it means that it is dead and no longer lives. Mulane, when you become born again, you shall no longer be controlled and led by your flesh in which the sinful nature reigns.
Daging ora bisa disenengi Gusti Allah
Amarga pikiran kadagingan dadi gething marang Gusti Allah: Amarga iku ora tundhuk karo ukum Gusti Allah, uga ora bisa. Dadi, wong sing ana ing daging ora bisa nyenengi Gusti Allah (wong Romawi 8:7-8)
Since sin reigns in the flesh because of the sinful nature, the flesh can’t please God. The flesh has the nature of the devil and rebels against God and always wants to do those things, sing nglawan karsaning Allah (Maca uga: Perang lan kelemahane wong tuwa lan Karsane Gusti vs karsane Iblis).
Mulané Yésus kudu teka ing bumi, to deal with the sinful nature of (Gugur) man that is present in the flesh.
Gusti Yesus rawuh ing rupa manungsa, so that Jesus could become the Substitute for (Gugur) Mankind (Maca uga: Punapa Gusti Yesus punika manungsa?’ lan 'Gusti Yesus mulihake posisi wong sing tiba).
If your flesh has been crucified in Christ and is dead, you shall no longer walk after the flesh in the dominion of the sinful nature. Therefore sin shall no longer reign in your life anymore.
Your flesh has died; Mula, you shall no longer live after the flesh and be led by the impulses from the world; the kingdom of darkness that causes your flesh to do things, that go against God’s will and cause you to keep sinning and persevere in sin.
The old man is led by the flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness
Sadurunge sampeyan mratobat and became a new creation in Jesus Christ, you were led by your flesh in which sin reigns and controlled by the kingdom of darkness and the will of the devil.
pikiranmu (pikiranmu), pikiran sehat, raos, Emosi, bakal, and the lusts and desires of your flesh reigned in your life and dictated you what to do and you obeyed them (Efesus 2:1-7).
Nanging saiki, that you have become a new creation and your flesh has died in Jesus Christ, you shall no longer be led by your flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness that causes you to persevere in sin. You shall no longer walk as a abdi saka daging and live in the bondage of the flesh and sin and death.
Kepiye sampeyan ngerti yen Yesus Kristus ana ing sampeyan?
But you are not in the flesh, nanging ing Roh, manawa Rohing Allah dedalem ana ing kowe. Saiki yen ana wong sing ora duwe Roh Kristus, iku dudu kagungane. And if Christ is in you, badan wis mati amarga dosa; nanging Roh iku urip marga saka kabeneran (wong Romawi 8:9-10)
Mulane, sedulur, kita utang, ora kanggo daging, kanggo urip sawise daging. Kanggo yen sampeyan manggon sawise daging, kowe bakal mati: Nanging yen sampeyan liwat Roh, mortipasi tumindak awak, kowe bakal urip. Amarga akeh sing dipimpin dening Rohing Allah, iku putrane Gusti Allah (wong Romawi 8:12-14)
If through regeneration, Jesus Christ is in you by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ really lives inside of you and is seated upon the throne of your life, then this will become visible by the way you live.
You shall no longer live under the dominion of sin and death, and therefore habitually persevere in sin. You shall no longer do those things which go against the will of God and Jesus (Maca uga: Dhawuhe Gusti Allah lan dhawuhe Gusti Yesus).
As long as you live after the flesh in ora setya marang Gusti Allah and do those things, which don’t please God but instead please the devil, then this shows that the flesh is still alive and reigns in your life and nothing has changed.
But if you really have become a new creation and Jesus Christ is in you, you shall live after the will of God; the will of the Word. You shall be led by the Word and the Holy Spirit and therefore you shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to God. The Spirit shall have dominion and reign in your life.
Is lying not a bad thing?
This means for example, that when you have a conversation with someone and during that conversation, a thought of a lie (or a white lie) muncul ing pikiran sampeyan, that releases you a.o. from your responsibility, you can do two things.
You can either walk after the flesh, by listening to this thought, which derives from the flesh that is controlled by the kingdom of darkness and ensures that when you bow for this thought and obey this thought you will lie and not speak the truth and therefore do the will of the devil.
Or you can walk after the Spirit, by taking this thought captive in Jesus Christ; tembung, Sapa sing ngomong, that you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, nanging kowé kudu ngomong sing bener, and follow and obey the Word, and reject this thought and speak the truth, Sanajan akibat.
Because if you have become a son of God and you belong to God and received His nature and Jesus Christ lives in you by the Holy Spirit, then you shall speak the truth, just like your Father.
Does sin lead to eternal life?
As long as you keep doing the works of the old man and walk after the flesh in sins and iniquities, then this proves that your flesh is not crucified in Jesus Christ, but that sin, kang wohing pati, still reigns in your life.
As long as the flesh is still alive, you shall live in bondage and be controlled by the sinful nature of fallen man and belong to the devil. Sifat dosa, which is present in the flesh shall reign in your life and shall keep you in the bondage of sin.
The Word says that sin leads to death and not to eternal life. Mulane, it does matter how you live after you become born again (Maca uga: Sawise disimpen mesthi disimpen?)
The only way to be redeemed from the dominion of the devil and the sinful nature and to be reconciled with God is through faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (Maca uga Apa sampeyan ora bakal mati yen sampeyan tetep gawe dosa?).
Does the Spirit of Christ live in you?
Iki banjur pesen sing wis dakrungu saka dheweke, lan wara-wara marang kowe, Gusti Allah iku entheng, lan ora ana pepeteng. Yen kita ujar manawa kita duwe sesrawungan karo dheweke, lan mlaku ing pepeteng, Kita ngapusi, lan aja kabeneran: Nanging yen kita mlaku ing cahya, kaya dheweke ana ing cahya, Kita duwe sesrawungan siji karo liyane, lan getih Yesus Kristus putrané ngresiki kita saka kabeh dosa (1 John 1:5-7)
Nanging kowé ora ana ing daging, nanging ing Roh, manawa Rohing Allah dedalem ana ing kowe. Saiki yen ana wong sing ora duwe Roh Kristus, iku dudu kagungane (wong Romawi 8:9)
Amarga akeh sing dipimpin dening Rohing Allah, iku putrane Gusti Allah (wong Romawi 8:14)
Roh piyambak nekseni karo roh kita, manawa kita iku anak saka Gusti Allah (wong Romawi 8:16)
Kita ngerti manawa sapa sing lair saka Gusti Allah ora; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not (1 John 5:18)
Sabda ngandika, that if you have received the Spirit of Christ, you belong to God. Therefore if you have not received the Spirit of Christ, you don’t belong to Him.
If Jesus Christ is in you, dening Indwelling Roh Suci, sampeyan bakal tresna marang Panjenengane, Rungokake Panjenengane, lan netepi pepakone. You shall follow Him by obeying Him; the Word and walk after the Spirit in righteousness; sawise kersane Gusti.
Yen sampeyan ndherek Gusti Yesus and walk after the Spirit in righteousness, sin shall no longer have dominion and shall no longer reign as king in your life. You shall no longer live in the bondage of the Hukum dosa lan pati, which reigns in the flesh of the old man. But you shall reign in Christ as king and have dominion over sin and through the Spirit, you shall kill the deeds of the flesh and live in the freedom of Christ.
