지난 며칠 동안, 우리는 예수 그리스도의 고난과 십자가에서의 죽으심과 죽은 자 가운데서 부활하신 것을 기억하였노라. 예수 그리스도, 하나님의 아들, who took the place of fallen man on the cross, was sacrificed as an innocent and spotless Lamb and bore the sins and iniquities of fallen man upon Himself and brought reconciliation with His precious blood and entered death and rose from the dead as Victor, 그래서 모든 사람이, who would believe in Jesus Christ and through identification with Him through regeneration, wouldn’t see death, but through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, would enter eternal life. Jesus did this all out of love; out of love for His Father and out of love for humanity, but what do you do out of love for Jesus? People always want to receive and are focused upon (지구의) blessings and what God can do for them, but what do people do for God? What do you do to show your love for Jesus? How can you show your love for Jesus according to the Bible?
The love of Jesus for His Father
Jesus came in the flesh on earth and was the reflection of God the Father. 예수님 완전히 인간 and had the ability to sin, but because of His fear and love for His Father, 예수님은 죄를 짓지 않으셨습니다, but Jesus stayed faithful and obedient to the Father.
Jesus spent much time with His Father in prayer, not because Jesus had to, but because Jesus wanted to. He loved His Father and therefore He wanted to spend time with His Father.
The love, which Jesus showed to His Father was not related to emotions, 감정, or carnal expressions, but His obedience.
Jesus stayed fully obedient to the Father and showed His obedience to the will of His Father by His words and deeds.
예수께서 그들에게 대답하셨다., 진실로, 진실로, 내가 너희에게 말하노니, 죄를 짓는 자마다 죄의 종이라. 하인은 영원히 집에 머물지 못하느니라: 그러나 아들은 영원히 계시느니라. 그러므로 아들이 너희를 자유케 하면, 너희는 참으로 자유로울 것이다. I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My word hath no place in you. 나는 내 아버지와 함께 본 것을 말한다: 그리고 너희는 너희 아버지에게서 본 대로 행하고 있다 (남자 8:34-38)
Jesus obeyed the words of the Father and spoke the words of His Father. Jesus spoke and did what He had seen His Father do and commanded to do, and because of His obedience to the Father, Jesus was persecuted and eventually put to death, just like the prophets (또한 읽어보세요: 'Obedience to God’ 그리고 '하나님을 믿으십시오’)
Jesus walked in obedience to the Father
내 아들, 내 말을 지키라, 나의 계명을 네게 간직하라. 나의 계명을 지키라, 그리고 라이브합니다; and My law as the apple of Thine eye (잠언 7:1-2)
And Samuel said, 여호와께서는 번제와 제사를 크게 기뻐하시느니라, 주님의 음성에 순종하는 것처럼? 보다, 순종하는 것이 제사보다 낫다, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, 완고함은 불법과 우상 숭배와 같으니라. 네가 여호와의 말씀을 버렸으므로, 그 사람도 너를 버려 왕이 되지 못하게 하였느니라 (1 사무엘 15:22-23).
Jesus listened to the voice of His Father and was faithful to His Father and walked in obedience to the commandments of the Father and did what was good. However the world didn’t consider, 예수께서 하신 일, as good but as evil, because Jesus testified that her works were evil and therefore Jesus was a threat to the ruler of the world, 악마, 그리고 그것들, who belonged to the devil and the world.
And that is still the case for those, who by faith and regeneration in Christ have become a new creation.
As Jesus was a reflection of the Father, the new creations are a reflection of Jesus Christ and walk, just like Jesus walked, in the will of the Father. And because they walk after the Spirit in the truth and the will of God in the light, they shall convict the world of sin and testify that her works are evil. 그러므로, the new creations shall also be a threat to the devil and his kingdom and those, who belong to him and because of that, the new creations shall be persecuted.
The new creation speaks and obeys the words of God
그리고 그가보고 들었던 것, 그는 증언했다; and no man receives His testimony. He that hath received His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: 하나님이 그에게 성령을 한량없이 주시느니라. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (남자 3:32-36)
지상에서 그의 생애 동안, Jesus has made known His commandments and the will of the Father and His Kingdom. Jesus taught His disciples and commanded His disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel and make disciples of Jesus Christ and teach them all things, which Jesus had taught them and commanded them to do. So that every believer and disciple of Jesus Christ, who belonged to Him, would obey His words and do what Jesus has commanded to do (오. 매튜 28:19-20, 표시 16:15-20, 루크 24:47-49, 행위 1:1-9).
The commandments of Jesus and the great commission that Jesus gave to His disciples didn’t end with the first church and were not only meant for the first apostles, but still apply to all those, who have become a new creation in Christ and have received the Holy Spirit. Because without the Holy Spirit the new creation can’t exist and function.
How can you show your love for Jesus?
내 계명을 가진 사람, 그리고 그들을 지키십시오, 그는 나를 사랑합니다: 그리고 나를 사랑하는 사람은 내 아버지의 사랑을받을 것입니다, 그리고 나는 그를 사랑할 것이다, 그리고 그분께 나 자신을 나타내실 것이다 (남자 14:21)
너희가 나를 사랑하면, 내 계명을 지키십시오 (남자 14:15)
예수께서는 대답 하시고 그에게 말씀하셨습니다, 남자가 나를 사랑한다면, 그는 내 말을 유지할 것입니다: 그리고 아버지는 그를 사랑할 것입니다, 그러면 우리는 그에게로 갈 것이다, 그리고 그분과 함께 우리의 거처를 만드십시오. 나를 사랑하는 사람은 내 말을 지키지 않습니다: 그리고 너희가 듣는 말은 내 말이 아니니라, but the Father’s which sent me (남자 14:23-24)
아버지께서 나를 사랑하신 것 같이, 그래서 내가 당신을 사랑했나요?: 너희는 내 사랑 안에 거하라. 당신이 나의 계명을 지키면, 너희는 내 사랑 안에 거칠 것이다; 내가 아버지의 계명을 지키는 것처럼, 그분의 사랑 안에 거하라 (15:9-10)
Many people confess their love for Jesus, but many times they don’t show it through their lives.
Because how can you show your love for Jesus? By singing songs? By doing charity works? Through humanistic behavior and acts of kindness? By being kind and everyone’s friend and therefore many times adjust the truth of God to people’s feelings, 욕망, and lifestyles in order to fit in and get along with everyone and be liked and accepted and keep everyone happy and satisfied? By building bridges with the world and compromise because of the so-called 거짓 사랑, 평화, and unity? By tolerating the works of the darkness and the works of the flesh aka sin in the church? No…
How can the new creation, who is delivered from the kingdom of darkness (세상) by faith and regeneration and died to the flesh, compromise with the world (어둠의 왕국) and adjust the gospel to the will of people and the lusts and desires of the flesh, 육체의 일을하십시오; 죄, that Jesus has condemned in His flesh and dealt with on the cross and has redeemed the new man from, and/or allow and tolerate sin in the church? (오. 로마서 8:3, 골로새서 1:13-14)
불가능합니다! If this happens in someone’s life or in a church, then Jesus Christ is not the Lord of the person and Jesus Christ is not the Head of the church and the Holy Spirit is not present, but the person or the church has left Jesus Christ, 길, 진실, and the Life and walks on self-chosen paths.
How can you show your love for Jesus? The only way to show your love for Jesus is through obedience to Jesus and doing what He says.
If you listen to Jesus Christ; the Word and yield to the Word and do what He says and walk in His commandments and therefore do His commandments, then you shall show Jesus that you love Him and you shall abide in His love and His love shall be in you.
If you love Jesus and walk in His commandments, 아버지에게서 나온 것, you shall not walk after the flesh and keep doing the works of the flesh and persevere in sin, but because of your love for Jesus and your obedience to Him and His commandments, you shall lay down the works of the flesh and walk holy in righteousness in the will of the Father (또한 읽어보세요: ‘The commandments of God and the commandments of Jesus Christ').
Why do you call Me Lord Lord, 하지만 내 말은 하지 마?
그리고 왜 저를 부르십시오, 주님, 주님, 그리고 내가 말하는 것들은하지 마십시오? (루크 6:46)
Jesus has risen from the dead and is alive and still speaks through the Holy Spirits the words of the Father to those, 그분께 속한 사람. 저것들, who belong to Jesus Christ and truly love Jesus Christ shall spend time with Jesus and the Father in the Word and in prayer and shall listen to His words and obey His words and commandments instead of adjusting His words and/or rejecting them. Through their obedience to the Word, they show that they love Jesus and that they belong to Him.
사람들은 온갖 말을 할 수 있다, 하지만 결국, the obedience to Jesus; 말씀, and the works prove if someone belongs to Jesus and loves Jesus or not.
Do you love Jesus and do you submit yourself to Jesus; the Word and the will of the Father and do you do what the Word tells you to do and do you bear the fruit 성령의? Or do you love yourself and do you submit yourself to your will and the lusts and desires of the flesh and do you do what the world says and do you bear the fruit of the flesh?
'세상의 소금이 되어라’
