Donya sengit marang wong Kristen amarga padha ora kagungane donya, pangandikane Gusti Yesus ing Yohanes 15:18-19 ing Kitab Suci. Akeh wong Kristen ora bakal nampa bebener iki lan nindakake kabeh sing bisa kanggo nggawe jagad tresna marang dheweke. Sometimes it’s too embarrassing to watch how far Christians go and eventually say or do things that damage the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. Only because these Christians want to be liked and accepted by the world and be friends with the world.
Compromising with the world
Many Christians compromise with the world and think they are some big shot. While in reality these Christians succumbed by the pressure of the world.
They maybe liked and accepted by the world, Nanging ing mripate Gusti Allah, Dheweke isin. Because they were not able to stand on the Word (Alkitab).
They didn’t stay faithful to God and obedient to His will. tinimbang, dheweke DISED Yesus Kristus by watering down the gospel and compromising with the world.
Kabeh amarga ora siyap mati kanggo 'mandhiri' lan lay mudhun urip dhewe lan tindakake Gusti Yesus.
Everyone that believes has laid down his life
But if you decide to follow Jesus, you crucify your flesh (Matius 16:24, Tandhani 8:34, Lukas 9:23). Liwat lair anyar ing Kristus (Pati saka daging lan wungune Roh saka wong mati), you have become a new creation in the spiritual realm.
Sampeyan ora dadi anak lanang maneh setan (Iki ditrapake kanggo wong lanang lan wadon) that has the spirit of the world (semangat saka Antikristus). Mulane, you don’t belong to the devil and the world anymore.
Nanging liwat the rebirth, Sampeyan wis dadi putrane Gusti Allah (lanang lan wadon).
The Holy Spirit dwells in you and you belong to God and His Kingdom.
What happened in the spiritual realm becomes visible in the natural realm. Mulane, bakal ana owah-owahan ing urip sampeyan.
Yen sampeyan ora bakal ngalami owah-owahan ing urip sampeyan, Sampeyan bisa uga takon dhewe yen sampeyan pancen bener lair maneh lan wis dadi titah anyar lan yen Roh Suci manggon ing sampeyan.
Nalika sampeyan dadi anaking Gusti Allah, sampeyan wis ora kagungane donya maneh. Mulane, the world no longer welcomes and receives you. Kajaba manawa sampeyan kompromi lan tetep karba lan tetep urip sing wis urip.
Yen sampeyan urip kaya jagad lan ujar lan nindakake perkara sing padha karo jagad iki, Banjur nuduhake yen sampeyan ora lair maneh lan aja mlaku sawise semangat. Wiwit daging isih urip lan duwe wewenang sing paling dhuwur ing urip sampeyan.
Tembung Gusti Allah cepet lan kuat
Kanggo tembung Allah iku cepet, lan kuat, lan luwih cetha tinimbang pedhang loro, Nemokake sanajan kanggo mbahas sajroning jiwa lan semangat, lan sendi lan sumsum, lan minangka panemu babagan pikirane lan naleni ati. Uga ana titah sing ora katon ing ngarsane: Nanging samubarang kabeh wis telanjang lan dibukak kanggo ngarsane sapa sing kudu kita lakoni (wong Ibrani 4:12-13)
Nalika sampeyan lair maneh, iku penting kanggo gawe anyar pikiran karo Sabda Allah. Amarga yen sampeyan ora gawe banter karo Sabda Jahwéh, sampeyan bakal njaga pikiran sampeyan lan terus mlaku-mlaku sawise daging lan ujar lan nindakake apa sing dingandikakake dening jagad iki.
If you don’t read and study the Bible daily, you shall not get to know the Father and His will. As long as you stay ignorant concerning God’s will, you shall live according to your will and what you think is right and wrong.
You shall live as you lived before and not nyingkirake wong tuwa lan ora sijine wong anyar.
Therefore it’s necessary to read and study your Bible daily and renew your mind. Roh Suci, Who dwells in you shall help, guide and teach you.
The Holy Spirit teaches you in the Word
Nalika sampeyan Penciptaan lawas Sampeyan bisa uga ora ngerti Kitab Suci. Alesan kenapa sampeyan ora ngerti Kitab Suci yaiku Rohmu wis tiwas lan atine sampeyan dadi peteng lan ora ngerti barang kasukman saka Gusti Allah.
Nanging nalika sampeyan dadi titah anyar, Rohmu wungu saka ing antarane wong mati lan baptisan nganggo Roh Suci, Sampeyan wis nampa Roh Suci lan mulane sampeyan bakal bisa ngerti babagan kasukman saka Gusti Allah lan kraton.
Roh Suci ngerti jerone Gusti Allah, kang didhelikake ing tembunge.
Kanthi nyinaoni Sabda Jahwéh, Sampeyan ora mung kenal karo Gusti Yesus, Nanging sampeyan uga bakal ngerti Gusti Allah lan karsane. Sampeyan kudu ngerti Pikirane lan Dalane.
Saben-saben, Yen sampeyan nemokake bebener ing Sabda Jahwéh sing mbantah pikiran sampeyan lan apa sing dingandikakake dening jagad iki, sampeyan kudu milih pilihan, kanggo pracaya lan manut pangandikaning Allah lan mlaku kanthi precaya marang Roh utawa percaya lan netepi tembung-tembunge jagad lan pikiranmu lan apa sing dikandhani karo panganan.
Sampeyan mung bisa mlaku kanthi iman yen sampeyan yakin manawa tembung-tembunge Gusti Allah iku kayekten lan netepi lan nindakake tembung-tembunge Gusti Allah ing urip sampeyan.
When you are born again and start walking after the Word and the Spirit and therefore walk in faith, then one of the consequences will be that you won’t be so loved anymore, but rather be hated by those, kang kagungane jagad, live in sin and are not willing to repent.
The Word divides soulish people and spiritual people
Because just like the Word divides spirit and soul, so shall the Word also divide soulish people, who walk after the flesh and spiritual people, sing mlaku sawise semangat.
You shall not be received and welcomed everywhere you go. Not even among your fellow brothers and sisters, who are worldly-minded. Uga, if you say what they want to hear and don’t say anything that might offend them and as long as you do what they expect of you, then there won’t be any problems.
But as soon as you speak the truth and confront them with the truth of the Word, instead of giving them your own opinion, that derives from your flesh; your carnal mind and your carnal wisdom, Kawruh, Emosi, lan raos, then you shall experience resistance.
The world hated Jesus
Jesus is our Lord and if He was hated and persecuted by the world and was banned by His people from the temple, murid-muridé, who are His followers, shall experience the same thing. Jesus spoke about it and said, sing, who love Him and obey dhawuhipun, shall be hated and even persecuted.
And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved (Mat 10:22, Mar 13:13, Lukas 21:17)
Banjur bakal padha ngulungake sampeyan kanggo nandhang sangsara, lan bakal matèni kowé: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. Lan banjur bakal akeh sing gelo, lan bakal ngulungaké siji lan sijiné, lan bakal padha sengit-sinengitan (Matius 24:9-10)
Rahayu kowe, nalika wong bakal sengit marang kowé, lan nalika padha misahake kowe saka golongane, lan bakal nacad kowé, lan nundhung jenengmu minangka ala, marga saka Putraning Manungsa. Padha bungaha ing dina iku, lan mlumpat bungah: kanggo, lah, ganjaranmu gedhe ana ing swarga: awit mangkono uga para leluhure marang para nabi (Lukas 6:22)
Yen jagad sengit marang kowe, kowe padha sumurup, yen wis sengit marang Aku sadurunge sengit marang kowe. Yen kowe padha saka ing donya, donya bakal tresna marang: nanging amarga kowé dudu saka donya, nanging Aku wis milih kowé saka ing donya, mulane jagad sengit marang kowe. Élinga pangandikaningSun marang kowé, Abdi iku ora ngungkuli bendarane. Yen padha nganiaya Aku, padha uga bakal nganiaya kowé; yen padha netepi pangandikaningSun, padha uga bakal nyimpen sampeyan. Nanging kabeh iku bakal padha ditindakake marang kowe marga saka asmaningSun, amarga padha ora wanuh marang Panjenengane kang ngutus Aku (John 15:18-21)
Yen aku ora teka lan ngomong karo wong-wong mau, padha ora duwe dosa: nanging saiki padha ora duwe tutup kanggo dosane. Sapa sing sengit marang Aku uga sengit marang Bapakku. Saupama Aku ora nindakaké penggawéan sing ora ditindakaké déning wong liya, padha ora duwe dosa: Nanging saiki wis padha ndeleng lan sengit marang Aku lan RamaKu. Nanging iki kelakon, supaya pangandika kang katulisan ana ing angger-anggering Toret iku kayektenan, Padha sengit marang Aku tanpa sabab (John 15:22-25)
Kawula sampun paring pangandika Paduka; lan jagad sengit marang wong-wong mau, amarga padha dudu saka ing donya, kaya déné Aku iki dudu saka donya (John 17:14)
Why the world hates Jesus?
Jagad ora bisa sengit marang kowé; nanging aku sengit, amarga aku nekseni, manawa panggawene iku ala (John 7:7)
Jesus gave us the reason, why the world hated Him. Jesus testified that the works of the world were evil, which means that He confronted the people, kang kagungane jagad, with their sin. When Jesus said these words to His disciples, His disciples were still the old creation. They were still carnal and belonged to the unfaithful generation that belongs to the world. But when they were born again and received the Holy Spirit, they were also hated and persecuted by the world. Because they testified that the works of the world were evil.
When the Holy Spirit dwells in you and you walk in obedience to God after the Word in righteousness, the Holy Spirit will reprove the world a.o. saka dosa.
Mulane, you shouldn’t marvel and be surprised when people, whom you’ve never met and with whom you have never spoken with, hate you for no reason.
That’s because the one, kang manggon ana ing kono, hates the One, Sing manggon ing sampeyan.
Sétan, who lives in them hates Jesus Christ, Who lives in you. Gusti Yesus ngandika, that you shall be hated because of Jenenge.
Amarga kasunyatane, that you have died in Christ, you have laid down your own life and therefore it’s no longer you that lives, but through the resurrection of your spirit from the dead and by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Christ lives in you. When Christ lives in you, you shall speak and do His words and walk in the will of God.
Jesus spoke the words of His Father and the world wouldn’t receive His words. Kaya ing Prajanjian Old, when the prophets spoke the truth of God and were hated, nganiaya, imprisoned and sometimes even killed.
Mulane, sing, who belong to Jesus and speak His words, which are the same words as the Father, shall be hated by the world.
Do you love God or do you love yourself?
As long as you don’t love God with all your heart, Pikiran, soul and strength and haven’t laid down your flesh, lan terus mlaku sawise daging, you care what other people think of you because it affects you. Mulane, you shall eventually succumb and compromise with the world.
But when you tresna marang Gusti Allah kanthi gumolonging atimu, Pikiran, soul and strength and have laid down your flesh and walk after the Spirit, then it won’t affect you, because your flesh is dead. You are not surprised that the world hates you because Jesus warned you (Maca uga: Ngitung biaya).
Nanging, you will not let that stop you to speak the truth of God and keep preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth. You shall not stop to preach and establish God’s Kingdom on this earth.
Sebaliknya! You shall continue and keep walking after the Word and the Spirit and therefore you shall keep walking in the truth and the love of God.
You shall not compromise with the world. You shall not try so hard to be liked and to be accepted by the world. But you shall stay loyal to Jesus and stand on the Word and not deviate from the words of God.
As long as you keep walking the Spirit and the Word and therefore do the commandments of God, sing uga dhawuhe Yesus, you prove that you love God with all your heart, Pikiran, jiwa lan kekuwatan.
You show that your love for God comes first in your life, lan minangka asil, you keep walking in obedience to Him.
You know the reason, why the people, kang kagungane jagad, sengit sampeyan, but you shall not be moved by that. You shall neither become mad or angry because you don’t walk after the flesh and therefore you are not led by your feelings and emotions. tinimbang, you shall be moved with welas asih on them.
The world hates Christians, who follow and do the Word
Marvel not, sedulurku, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren (1 John 3:13-14)
The hearers of the Word shall not be hated, since they are no threat to the kingdom of darkness. Only the followers and doers of the Word, which means that you believe every word of God and do the words of God, shall be hated by the world, kaya Gusti Yésus.
kok? Because you testify by doing the truth and righteous works, that the works of the world are evil.
Look at Cain and Abel. Abel wasn’t killed by Cain because they had a disagreement or a fight. But Abel was killed because his works were righteous. The righteous works of Abel testified that the works of Cain were evil (Gen 21:41, 1 Jo 3:12)
This also happened with Jesus. Jesus walked in the truth and did righteous works. That’s why He was hated by the world. Because by doing righteous works Jesus testified that the works of the world were evil.
The Light of the world
Jesus was the Light of the world and through Him, the evil works, which were hidden in darkness were brought into the light.
Para putra setan, who were the workers of iniquity and belonged to the world, hated the Light and therefore they did everything they could to get rid of Jesus and eliminate the Light.
Sapa sing pretyaya marang Dèkné ora bakal disalahké: nanging sing sapa ora pracaya, iku wis kaukum, amarga ora pretyaya marang asmane Putra ontang-anting Gusti Allah. Lan iki paukuman, pepadhang iku rawuh ing jagad, lan manungsa luwih seneng marang pepeteng tinimbang pepadhang, amarga panggawene ala. Sabab saben wong kang tumindak ala sengit marang pepadhang, ora teka ing cahya, supaya tumindake ora kena dicela. Nanging sing sapa nglakoni kayektèn, teka marang pepadhang, supaya panggawene bisa katon, bilih piyambakipun dipun tindakaken ing Gusti Allah (John 3:18-21)
And just like Abel, para nabi, Jesus and the apostles, iki isih ngono. When Jesus Christ dwells in you and you walk after the will of Jesus and do what He has commanded you to do and walk in righteousness in the truth and the light, then the world shall hate you. Because your righteous works testify that the works fo the world (dosa) iku ala.
Jesus knew this and foretold His disciples. His disciples knew this and foretold their disciples. And we, as His disciples should know this and inform our disciples, so that the truth is revealed and the disciples will know what to expect and become spiritually resilient and are able to stand on the Word and don’t mbantah Gusti Yésus Kristus. Because whosoever shall deny Jesus, him/her will Jesus also deny before the Father (Matius 10:33, 2 Timotius 2:12)
