In the modern gospel of grace, everything is allowed. All behavior, រួមទាំងអំពើបាប, is allowed and accepted, due to the so-called love of God and the grace of God. This means that you can stay the way you are, do what you want to do, ហើយរស់នៅតាមរបៀបដែលអ្នកចង់រស់នៅ. But is this true? What is grace according to the Bible? What does the grace of God mean for the lives of born again Christians? If you don’t have to change due to the grace of God, then why did the prophets, ពួកសាវក, and Jesus call the people to repentance and talk about removing sins and living a holy life?
What kind of grace did Jesus and the apostles preach?
The apostles lived in the same spiritual dispensation of grace as we live in. In their letters, which were written after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and after the coming of the Holy Spirit, they not only wrote gentle and encouraging words to the believers. But they primarily wrote corrections, ការប្រៀនប្រដៅ, ការដកអំពើបាបចេញ, ទម្លាក់មនុស្សចាស់, sanctification and the call to live a holy life. (អានផងដែរ។: វិធីដាក់បុរសចំណាស់? និង របៀបដាក់លើបុរសថ្មី?
នៅក្នុងសៀវភៅវិវរណៈ, which was also written after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and after the coming of the Holy Spirit, Jesus not only spoke gentle positive words to His Church. But Jesus confronted the believers of the seven churches with their behavior and works and called them to repentance. (អានផងដែរ។: ការហៅទៅការប្រែចិត្ត).
Were Jesus and the apostles liars?
If the grace of God would be the same as the grace of God that is preached today, whereby you won’t have to change and may live the way you want to live, then that means that Jesus and the apostles spoke lies to the believers, who belonged to the Church; រូបកាយរបស់ព្រះគ្រីស្ទ.
Because if believers won’t have to change after they are born again, then why did Jesus and the apostles confront them with their works? Why did Jesus and the apostles command them to change their behavior and their walk? Who is telling the truth? Jesus and the apostles or the modern preachers and teachers of today?
If God’s grace would approve and tolerate every kind of behavior, even if it contradicts the Word, and wouldn’t hold believers accountable for their words and works, then Jesus and the apostles wouldn’t have to correct the believers. They only had to say “Well done, keep on going!"
But Jesus and the apostles didn’t say that. They warned the believers and confronted them with their words, សមបត់, និងជីវិត. They often spoke hard words to the churches, just like Jesus spoke hard words during His walk on this earth, after His resurrection, and during His appearance to John in the Book of Revelation.
Based on the words of Jesus during His walk on earth and after His death and resurrection and His Kingship, we can conclude that if someone belongs to Jesus and wants to ដើរតាមគាត់, then the person can’t remain living after the flesh and keep living in sin and not change, and do what the person wants to do.
Because the day will come when everyone, រួមទាំងអ្នកជឿ, will stand before His throne and be judged according to … ការងាររបស់ពួកគេ (2 កូរិនថូស 11:15, វិវរណៈ 20:12-15).
មានន័យថា, that works are important. មានន័យថា, that the way a person lives and what a person does, do matter according to the Word of God.
But what does the grace of God, which everyone talks about, មធ្យម? To prevent this blog post from becoming extremely long, this subject will be discussed in several blog posts.
តើព្រះគុណគឺជាអ្វី?
In the New Testament grace has been translated from the Greek word ‘χάρις’, ដេលក្ផាន 5485 (SC) ដែលមានន័យថា: កាយវិការរមតម្យ, the state of kindness and favor towards someone, often with a focus on a benefit given to the object; by extension: gift, អត្ថប្រយោជន៍;credit; words of kindness and benefit: អរគុណ, blessing:- grace favor, អរគុណ, thank, pleasure, អាចទទួលយកបាន។, អត្ថប្រយោជន៍, gift, សប្បុរស, liberality, thanked, thank worthy.
Grace means, that you receive something without having to work for it. If you didn’t have to do anything for it, you can’t earn it. That’s why grace is unmerited favor. Because as soon as you earned it by your works, it is no longer grace, but your own merit (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 11:5-6).
This also applies to the grace of God. The grace of God shows us God’s goodness, សេចក្ដីមេត្ដាករុណា, and love towards people, and relates to the perfect ការងារនៃការប្រោសលោះ of Jesus Christ and the redemption and restoration of fallen man, who is reconciled with God and gained access to the Kingdom of God through regeneration.
Only by faith, you can become a partaker of the grace of God. By faith in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption and through ការប្រែចិត្ត និង ការធេវីរេបីបិត, you are justified and accepted by God.
You are not justified and made holy and righteous by your own works but by the work of Jesus Christ. តាមរយៈការបង្កើតឡើងវិញនៅក្នុងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ, you have become a partaker of the Divine nature of God (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 4:16-17, ទីតុស 3:5-7, 2 តមផាត 1:4).
Every person on this earth has been given a free will to make a choice to become a partaker of the grace of God or not.
ព្រះគុណរបស់ព្រះ; the promise of the Messiah
នៅក្នុង សួនអេដែន, after man had sinned and fallen from his position, God made a promise of the (នៃកមនិត) restoration of fallen man, to man and his seed (offspring). God promised that He would put enmity between the serpent and the woman and between his seed and her Seed and that it would bruise his head (លោកុប្បត្តិ 3:15). The Seed referred to Jesus Christ.
ដោយ His promise, God showed His grace; សេចក្តីមេត្តាករុណារបស់ទ្រង់, and goodness, because man didn’t deserve it.
It is important to know, that Adam didn’t belong to the carnal people of Israel. Adam was the son of God, the first-born human being on this earth, and the father of fallen man; មនុមបង.
Because of his ផាបមិនស្ដាប់បង្គាប់ ចំពោះព្រះបន្ទូលរបស់ព្រះ, Adam fell from the position that God had given to man. His spirit, which connected him with the Father, died and Adam was spiritually separated from God.
Man became a living soul and consisted of a body and soul (សាច់).
បយកនោហ, តើអ្នកណានឹងកើតពីពូជរបស់មនុស្ស, would be born in a fallen state as a fallen man; មនុស្សមានបាបម្នាក់. No one was excluded! That’s why God said, that the Seed of the woman would bruise the head of the devil. Since no one, who would be born of the seed of man and would be born as a sinner, would be able to bruise the head of the devil and take away his authority. ព្រោះគ្រប់គ្នា, who is born as a sinner lives under the authority of the devil (ទេវតាធ្លាក់) and is placed beneath the angels.
នៅក្នុង សួនអេដែន, God promised the restoration of fallen man and the reconciliation between God and man. Man didn’t deserve it, and would never be able to deserve it, but God made this promise and He kept His promise.
Because of God’s great love, សប្បុរសធ៍ម, និងមេត្តាករុណា, God gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to redeem fallen man and restore the position of fallen man (ចន 3:16).
You can’t deserve grace by works
សម្រាប់មនុស្សទាំងអស់បានធ្វើបាប, ហើយខ្វល់ខ្វាយអំពីសិរីរុងរឿងរបស់ព្រះ; ត្រូវបានរាប់ជាសុចរិតដោយព្រះគុណរបស់ទ្រង់ដោយសេរីតាមរយៈការប្រោសលោះដែលនៅក្នុងព្រះគ្រីស្ទយេស៊ូវ: ដែលព្រះបានកំណត់ថាជាការថ្កោលទោសតាមរយៈជំនឿលើព្រះលោហិតរបស់ទ្រង់, ដើម្បីប្រកាសពីភាពសុចរិតរបស់ទ្រង់សម្រាប់ការលើកលែងទោសបាបដែលបានកន្លងផុតទៅហើយ, តាមរយៈការអត់ធ្មត់របស់ព្រះ; ប្រកាស, ខ្ញុំនិយាយ, នៅពេលនេះសេចក្តីសុចរិតរបស់គាត់: ថាគាត់ប្រហែលជាគ្រាន់តែ, និងយុគសម័យរបស់ទ្រង់ដែលជឿលើព្រះយេស៊ូវ (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 3:22-26)
មនុសសអាេយអ្នករាល់គ្នា, who is born of the seed of man is born as a sinner. មិនមាននរណាម្នាក់ដកចេញទេ. មនុស្សគ្រប់រូប, who is born on this earth in the flesh, ការរបតេសតាម redemption of his fallen nature, ដែលមានវត្តមាននៅក្នុងសាច់ឈាម, including those, who belong to the carnal people of God. Because God’s promise was for His carnal people first and then for the Gentiles (អេសាយ 56, ហូសេ 2:23, រ៉ូម៉ាំង 9:24-29)
The soul of the fallen man lives in a body. But the spirit of the fallen man (អ្នកសាងបាបកម្ផ) is dead and stays dead.
បុរសដួល (អ្នកសាងបាបកម្ផ) lives under the authority and rulership of the devil and his kingdom and is not able to escape his kingdom and his reign by his own works. Fallen man is not able to escape death through his own works.
មានតែប៉ុណ្ណោះ វិធីមួយ: through faith in Jesus Christ, His work, និងការបង្កើតឡើងវិញ.
Jesus Christ dealt with the sin problem and the sin nature that is present in the flesh of fallen man. Jesus conquered sin and iniquity at the whipping post and on the cross.
Jesus became the Substitute for fallen man and took all the sins and iniquities of humanity, which lead to death, upon Himself and took the death penalty. ដូច្នេះ, Jesus would enter Hades and conquer death and reinstate the position of fallen man and reconcile man back to God.
មនុសសអាេយអ្នករាល់គ្នា, អ្នកណាជឿលើព្រះយេស៊ូវគ្រីស្ទ, ព្រះរាជបុត្រានៃព្រះដ៏មានព្រះជន្មរស់, repents and becomes born again, would be redeemed from death by laying down his flesh. The person would be made holy and righteous by the blood of Jesus and his spirit would be raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and receive eternal life (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 3:24, អេភេសូរ 1:4-12, ទីតុស 3:5-7, 1 តមផាត 3:18).
That’s why Jesus had to become equal to man (identify Himself with man), so that He could become our Substitute. Only when you identify yourself with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you will have peace with God and receive eternal life (អានផងដែរ។: ‘តើព្រះយេស៊ូជាមនុស្សពេញលេញ?').
Being justified by faith in Jesus Christ
ដូច្នេះត្រូវបានរាប់ជាសុចរិតដោយសារជំនឿ, យើងមានសន្តិភាពជាមួយព្រះតាមរយៈព្រះអម្ចាស់យេស៊ូវគ្រីស្ទរបស់យើង: យើងក៏អាចចូលបានដោយសារអ្នកណាដែរ ដោយសេចក្ដីជំនឿចំពោះព្រះគុណនេះដែលយើងឈរ, ហើយរីករាយនឹងសេចក្តីសង្ឃឹមនៃសិរីរុងរឿងរបស់ព្រះ (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 5:1-2)
ដោយសេចក្តីជំនឿលើព្រះយេស៊ូវគ្រីស្ទ; the Son of the living God and in His perfect ការងារនៃការប្រោសលោះ, that Jesus has accomplished at the cross, គឺជាអ្វីនោះ, ដែលជឿលើទ្រង់, repent and become born again, made righteous and redeemed from death ((1 កូរិនថូស 1:4, រ៉ូម៉ាំង 5:15, ទីតុស 3:5-7).
តាមរយៈការបង្កើតឡើងវិញ, you have crucified your flesh with its sinful nature, and in which sin dwells and causes you to persevere in sin, និងដោយអំណាចនៃព្រះវិញ្ញាណបរិសុទ្ធ, your spirit is raised from the dead. You have been redeemed from the power of the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of His dear Son Jesus Christ (កូល៉ុស 1:13-14).
The promise of God is also for the Gentiles
វាគឺជាព្រះគុណរបស់ព្រះ, that the promise of God is not only for God’s carnal people (អ៊ីស្រាអែល), and that God not only gave them the ability to be saved from death and be redeemed from the sinful nature of fallen man, but God also gave the ability to the Gentiles to be saved and be redeemed from the power of the devil, that reigns in the sinful nature of the flesh, and that through regeneration they’ll be reconciled to God and have received the power to become sons of God.
Everyone has been given the ability to become part of God’s people, through the ការកាត់ស្បែកនៅក្នុងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ (ចន 1:12-13, សកម្មភាព 4:33-34, រ៉ូម៉ាំង 15:15-16, អេភេសូរ 3:6, កូល៉ុស 1:6, 2 ពេលវេលា 1:9-10, ទីតុស 3:4:7,1 តមផាត 1:10-11).
By faith in Jesus Christ and through regeneration in Christ, អ្នកបានក្លាយជា ការបង្កើតថ្មី; បុរសថ្មី. You have become a partaker of His divine nature by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
It is grace, that by faith in Jesus Christ you have been made righteous and have peace with God (រ៉ូម៉ាំង 5:1-2).
It is grace, that by His work of redemption, you have received His (នៃកមនិត) inheritance; ព្រះវិញ្ញាណបរិសុទ្ធរបស់ទ្រង់. It’s not by your works, អ្វីដែលអ្នកបានធ្វើរួច, and not because you deserve it (សកម្មភាព 20:32, 1 កូរិនថូស 1:4-5, កាឡាទី 1:3-5).
Because due to the fact, that the flesh contains the sinful nature, every work that derives from the flesh is evil and corrupted with sin and that’s why man will never be able to deserve nor to accomplish the state of righteousness by his own carnal works.
Through the grace of Jesus Christ, He Who was rich became poor, so that through His poverty, you could become (ការធេវីវិតិ័យ) សម្បូរ (2 កូរិនថូស 8:9).
Saved by grace
ប៉ុន្តែព្រះជាម្ចាស់, ដែលសំបូរទៅដោយមេត្តាករុណា, សម្រាប់សេចក្តីស្រឡាញ់ដ៏អស្ចារ្យរបស់គាត់ដែលគាត់ស្រឡាញ់យើង, សូម្បីតែនៅពេលដែលយើងបានស្លាប់នៅក្នុងអំពើបាបនៅក្នុងអំពើបាបក៏ដោយ, បានធ្វើឱ្យយើងរួមគ្នាជាមួយនឹងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ, (ដោយព្រះគុណអ្នកត្រូវបានរក្សាទុក;) ហើយបានចិញ្ចឹមយើងឡើងជាមួយគ្នា, ហើយធ្វើឱ្យយើងអង្គុយជាមួយគ្នានៅស្ថានសួគ៌ក្នុងព្រះគ្រិស្ដយេស៊ូ: នៅពេលដែលមានអាយុជាច្រើនដែលបានមកទ្រង់អាចបង្ហាញនូវទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិដ៏លើសលប់នៃព្រះគុណរបស់ទ្រង់ក្នុងព្រះគ្រិស្ដយេស៊ូតាមរយៈព្រះគ្រិស្ដយេស៊ូ. For by grace are you saved through faith; ហើយវាមិនមែនជារបស់ខ្លួនឯងទេ: វាគឺជាអំណោយទានរបស់ព្រះ. មិនមែនជាការងារទេ, ក្រែងលោមាននរណាម្នាក់អួតខ្លួន (អេភេសូរ 2:4-9).
វាគឺជាព្រះគុណរបស់ព្រះ, that He made you alive in Jesus Christ and saved you.
វាគឺជាព្រះគុណរបស់ព្រះ, that He has given you in Christ a place in the heavenly places and that you are អង្គុយលើគាត់.
Now you may live in the grace of God and show God’s mercy, សប្បុរសធ៍ម, and grace to the people around you, by preaching the gospel of grace, which is the message of Jesus Christ, ឈើឆ្កាង, and God’s perfect work of redemption, and give them the ability to come to Jesus Christ, and accept Jesus as Saviour and make Jesus Lord over their lives, so that they will be redeemed from their sin nature and saved from death. Through faith in Jesus Christ, ការប្រែចិត្ត, and regeneration they become partakers of the grace of God.
Because that’s the gospel of grace: that every sinner, no matter what the person has done, may come to Jesus (សកម្មភាព 20:24, 1 តមផាត 4:10).
រឿងតែមួយគត់, that the person has to do is to ស្ដាយរេកាយ និងក្លាយជា កើតម្តងទៀត នៅក្នុងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ, which means that the person will crucify and lay down his flesh so that the spirit in man can be resurrected from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. Because the spirit of man cannot be resurrected from the dead unless the flesh has died.
No one can earn his or her salvation. No one can be saved and be made righteous and holy by doing ‘good works’, charity work, ទៅព្រះវិហារ, and/or keeping the law.
Only through the grace of God and by faith in Jesus Christ, through repentance and regeneration, every sinner can be redeemed from his sinful nature and saved from death. នោះហើយជាមូលហេតុ, it’s so important to keep preaching this message of the grace of God, which is the message of the cross.
What do you do with the grace of God?
ដូច្នេះ យើងទទួលបានរាជាណាចក្រមួយដែលមិនអាចរើទៅបាន។, សូមឱ្យយើងមានព្រះគុណ, យើងអាចបម្រើព្រះដោយការគោរព និងកោតខ្លាចព្រះ: ដ្បិតព្រះនៃយើងរាល់គ្នាជាភ្លើងឆេះ (ហេប្រ៊ូ 12: 28-29)
ប៉ុន្តែ .... Now that you have found grace in God’s eyes, which means that you are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and are accepted by God and through ការធេវីរេបីបិត, you have become His son, what do you do with His grace? (អេភេសូរ 1:5-7, ទីតុស 2:11-14)
What do you do with your new position as a son of God and what do you do with the inheritance, which you have received in Jesus Christ?
តើអ្នកធ្វើអ្វី?, ដើម្បីបង្ហាញព្រះគុណរបស់អ្នក។? តើអ្នកដឹងគុណទ្រង់ទេ?, គោរពទ្រង់, លើកតម្កើងទ្រង់ ហើយលើកតម្កើងទ្រង់ជាមួយនឹងជីវិតរបស់អ្នក។, ដោយការដើរនៅក្នុងព្រះគុណរបស់ទ្រង់ និងតាមព្រះហឫទ័យរបស់ទ្រង់? (2 ថែស្សាឡូនីច 1:12)
ឬតើអ្នកនៅខាងសាច់ឈាម ហើយបន្តរស់នៅសម្រាប់ខ្លួនឯង ហើយតើអ្នកប្រើព្រះគុណនៃព្រះ និងអ្វីទាំងអស់ដែលអ្នកបានប្រទានមកសម្រាប់ខ្លួនអ្នកដែរឬទេ?, ដើម្បីបំពេញតណ្ហា និងសេចក្តីប៉ងប្រាថ្នានៃសាច់ឈាមរបស់អ្នក និងដើម្បីកសាងនគរផ្ទាល់ខ្លួនរបស់អ្នក។?
ទោះបីជាអ្នកមិនបានរាប់ជាសុចរិត ហើយបានធ្វើឲ្យវិសុទ្ធ និងសុចរិតដោយស្នាដៃរបស់អ្នកផ្ទាល់ ប៉ុន្តែដោយព្រះគុណ និងកិច្ចការរបស់ទ្រង់, កិច្ចការនៃសេចក្ដីសុចរិតនឹងធ្វើតាមអ្នក។. ដោយសារអ្នកត្រូវបានធ្វើឲ្យសុចរិតក្នុងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ ហើយបានក្លាយជាការបង្កើតថ្មីក្នុងទ្រង់ ហើយមាននិស្ស័យរបស់ព្រះ, អ្នកនឹងដើរតាមព្រះវិញ្ញាណដោយសេចក្ដីសុចរិត ហើយធ្វើការសុចរិត.
