ເຮັດບາບຫຼືບໍ່ເຮັດບາບ, ນັ້ນແມ່ນການຕັດສິນໃຈຂອງເຈົ້າ

To sin or not to sin is the decision you make in life. Every person is responsible for his or her own life and decides to believe God and His Word (ຄໍາພີໄບເບິນ) and walk in the will of God or not. Just like the Father, Jesus gave a command to sin no more but it was up to the people to give heed to his command or not. Let’s look at the story of the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda and the woman who committed adultery and was caught in the act.

The healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda

ໃນ John 5:1-15, ພຣະ​ເຢ​ຊູ​ໄດ້​ປິ່ນ​ປົວ​ຜູ້​ຊາຍ​, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ມີ​ພະ​ຍາດ​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ການ​ 38 ປີ. ຊາຍ​ຂາ​ບ້າ​ຄົນ​ນີ້​ໄດ້​ວາງ​ໄວ້​ເທິງ​ຕຽງ​ນອນ​ຢູ່​ສະ​ນຸກ​ເກີ​ເບເທສດາ.

When Jesus saw the lame man, He went to him and asked him if he wanted to get well. ຊາຍ​ຂາ​ເປື່ອຍ​ຕອບ​ພະ​ເຍຊູ, that he didn’t have anyone to bring him to the water to get healed.

ຈາກ​ນັ້ນ ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ສັ່ງ​ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ​ໃຫ້​ລຸກ​ຂຶ້ນ​ເອົາ​ຕຽງ​ນອນ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ​ແລະ​ຍ່າງ. The man obeyed the words of Jesus and stood up and walked. ຜູ້​ຊາຍ​ງ່ອຍ​ໄດ້​ຮັບ​ການ​ປິ່ນປົວ​ໂດຍ​ພະ​ເຍຊູ! But what did Jesus say to him about the decision to sin or not to sin?

Why did Jesus say to Sin no more?

When Jesus met the man who was healed of his infirmity in the Temple in Jerusalem, ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ສັ່ງ​ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ​ໃຫ້​ບໍ່​ເຮັດ​ບາບ​ອີກ. Why did Jesus say to sin no more? Lest a worse thing would come unto him.

ພຣະ​ເຢ​ຊູ​ໄດ້​ປິ່ນ​ປົວ​ຜູ້​ຊາຍ​ຈາກ​ການ​ເຈັບ​ປ່ວຍ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ (ຄວາມເຈັບປ່ວຍຂອງລາວ). ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ​ຖືກ​ເຮັດ​ໃຫ້​ຫາຍ​ດີ ແລະ​ອານາຈັກ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ມາ​ເຖິງ​ລາວ.

ອາ ນາ ຈັກ ຂອງ ຄວາມ ມືດ ໄດ້ captivity ຜູ້ ຊາຍ ສໍາ ລັບ ການ 38 ປີ. But when Jesus came and the power of the Kingdom of heaven came upon him, ຜູ້ຊາຍໄດ້ຖືກປົດປ່ອຍຈາກການເປັນທາດຂອງລາວ.

ຫຼັງ​ຈາກ​ນັ້ນ ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ພົບ​ພະອົງ​ຢູ່​ໃນ​ວິຫານ, ແລະເວົ້າກັບລາວ, ເບ, ເຈົ້າສິນລະປະ: ບາບບໍ່ມີອີກແລ້ວ, ສິ່ງຫນຶ່ງທີ່ຮ້າຍແຮງກວ່າເກົ່າມາສູ່ເຈົ້າ

ຈອນ 5:14

ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ປ່ອຍ​ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ​ອອກ​ຈາກ​ຄຸກ​ແຫ່ງ​ຄວາມ​ມືດ​ທາງ​ວິນຍານ

Jesus released this lame man from this spiritual prison of darkness. Now that this man was released from this spiritual prison of darkness, Jesus commanded the healed man to no violate the spiritual laws by sinning.

ໃນຄໍາສັບຕ່າງໆອື່ນໆ; Jesus told the man to keep the commandments and do the ຂອງພຣະເຈົ້າ and stay obedient to God instead of obeying and doing the will of the devil (ຜູ້ທີ່ເຮັດວຽກຢູ່ໃນເນື້ອຫນັງ) ໂດຍການເຮັດບາບ.

Because if the man decided to reject the commandment of Jesus and disobey God and sin, he would be taken captive again by the forces of darkness and worse things would happen to him.

ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ເຕືອນ​ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ, because the man was carnal. He didn’t see the spiritual realm and couldn’t discern the spirits. But Jesus was spiritual and knew the spirit realm and the spiritual laws and revealed it to him through His word.

Jesus knew the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of darkness. He wanted this man to stay free and not become a prisoner of the devil and darkness again.

ເພາະສະນັ້ນ, ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ສັ່ງ​ຊາຍ​ຄົນ​ນັ້ນ​ໃຫ້​ບໍ່​ເຮັດ​ບາບ​ອີກ.

ພະເຍຊູກ່າວ, Go and sin no more to the woman that committed adultery

ໃນ John 8:1-11, we read about a woman that was caught in the act of adultery. The woman that committed adultery was brought unto Jesus. ພວກ​ທຳມະຈານ​ແລະ​ພວກ​ຟາລິຊຽນ​ໄດ້​ກ່າວ​ຫາ​ຜູ້​ຍິງ​ໃນ​ການ​ຫລິ້ນຊູ້ ແລະ​ບອກ​ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ເຖິງ​ສິ່ງ​ທີ່​ນາງ​ໄດ້​ເຮັດ.

They suggested to stone her according to the ກົດຫມາຍໂມເຊ. But the words of these men didn’t come from a good conscience. They only wanted to tempt Jesus, so that they could accuse Him.

ພຣະ​ເຢ​ຊູ​ໄດ້​ຂຽນ​ລົງ​ເທິງ​ພື້ນ​ທີ່​ດ້ວຍ​ນິ້ວ​ມື​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ອົງ​ແລະ​ກ່າວ​ກັບ​ເຂົາ​ເຈົ້າ​, “He who’s sinless among you, ໃຫ້ລາວເປັນຄົນທຳອິດທີ່ໂຍນກ້ອນຫີນໃສ່ນາງ“.

Jesus knew that the people that belonged to the old generation of fallen man were carnal. They were trapped in the sinful nature of the flesh.

Instead of stoning the adultrous woman, the men left one by one until there was no one left except Jesus and the adultrous woman.

ໃນເວລານັ້ນ, Jesus had the power to condemn the woman and stone her. Because Jesus walked in the authority of the Kingdom of God (ເປັນການສ້າງໃຫມ່) and was sinless.

ແນວໃດກໍ່ຕາມ, Jesus said to the woman that He wouldn’t condemn her either. Since it was not Jesus’ time to judge but to save.

ແຕ່… ພຣະເຢຊູ ບໍ່ໄດ້ອະນຸມັດ of her work of adultery. Jesus commanded the woman to go her way and ບາບບໍ່ມີອີກແລ້ວ.

ພະເຍຊູໄດ້ກ່າວກັບນາງ, ທັງ​ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ບໍ່​ໄດ້​ກ່າວ​ໂທດ​ທ່ານ: ໄປ, ແລະບາບບໍ່ມີອີກແລ້ວ

ຈອນ 8:11

ການສ້າງໃຫມ່ແມ່ນແຍກອອກຈາກໂລກ

When you repent and become born again in Christ and enter the Kingdom of God, you leave the kingdom of darkness and are separated from the world. You have been forgiven, ແລກແລ້ວ, and made whole and righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ.

You’ve become new creation and as a result of this spiritual transformation, ເຈົ້າຈະ ເອົາຄົນເກົ່າຂອງເຈົ້າອອກ ກັບນິໄສເກົ່າຂອງລາວ.

ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ບໍ່​ຍ່າງ​ຕາມ​ທາງ​ທີ່​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ເດີນ​ກ່ອນ​ການ​ກັບ​ໃຈ​ອີກ​ຕໍ່​ໄປ, because you repented from that lifestyle and its works (ຂອງເນື້ອຫນັງ).

ມັນເປັນສິ່ງຈໍາເປັນທີ່ຈະຮັບຮູ້ວ່າ ທ່ານບໍ່ແມ່ນຄົນບາບອີກຕໍ່ໄປ. You have become a saint through regeneration in Christ.

If you don’t realize and believe this, you will always think and live as a sinner. You’ll be stuck in your sins and never be freed from your sins.

ເມື່ອເຈົ້າເກີດໃໝ່, ທ່ານ​ໄດ້​ກ້າວ​ຈາກ​ອາ​ນາ​ຈັກ​ທາງ​ວິນ​ຍານ​ເຂົ້າ​ໄປ​ໃນ​ອີກ​ (ໂຄໂລຊາຍ 1:13-14)

In your old life, you thought like the world and walked in sin (sin = disobedience to God. It’s everything that goes against the Word of God that represents the will of God) and you were of the devil.

The nature of the devil will do his will

You had the character and nature of your father the devil. In your fallen state, ທ່ານ​ບໍ່​ສາ​ມາດ​ຍອມ​ຢູ່​ໃຕ້​ພຣະ​ເຈົ້າ ແລະ​ເຮັດ​ຕາມ​ພຣະ​ປະ​ສົງ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ອົງ. ແທນທີ່, you lived after the will of the flesh in rebellion.

You were rebellious towards God and His Word and obedient to the words and will of the devil (ຈະ, ຄວາມມັກ, and desire of your flesh), ແລະອາໄສຢູ່ໃນບາບ. ຄໍາພີໄບເບິນກ່າວ, ວ່າຖ້າທ່ານເຮັດບາບ, you have the devil as father and do the lust thereof (ຈອນ 8:44).

When you decided ກັບກັນໃຈ, ເຈົ້າ​ເວົ້າ​ທາງ​ອ້ອມ​ວ່າ​ເຈົ້າ​ບໍ່​ຢາກ​ມີ​ມານ​ຮ້າຍ​ເປັນ​ພໍ່​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ​ອີກ​ຕໍ່​ໄປ. ເຈົ້າບໍ່ຢາກເຊື່ອຟັງຖ້ອຍຄຳຂອງລາວ ແລະເດີນຕາມຄວາມປະສົງຂອງລາວ. ເຈົ້າເບື່ອກັບຊີວິດຂອງເຈົ້າພາຍໃຕ້ອຳນາດຂອງລາວ.

ເມື່ອເຈົ້າໄດ້ຍິນຖ້ອຍຄຳຂອງພຣະກິດຕິຄຸນ ແລະ ໄດ້ພົບກັບພຣະເຢຊູຄຣິດ, ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ເຊື່ອ​ໃນ​ພຣະ​ອົງ ແລະ​ໄດ້​ຮັບ​ເອົາ​ພຣະ​ອົງ​ເປັນ​ພຣະ​ຜູ້​ຊ່ວຍ​ໃຫ້​ລອດ ແລະ​ພຣະ​ຜູ້​ເປັນ​ເຈົ້າ.

ເຈົ້າຕ້ອງການໃຫ້ພຣະເຈົ້າເປັນພຣະບິດາຂອງເຈົ້າແທນທີ່ຈະເປັນມານຮ້າຍ ແລະເຊື່ອຟັງຖ້ອຍຄຳຂອງພຣະອົງ ແລະເດີນຕາມພຣະປະສົງຂອງພຣະອົງ. ເຈົ້າ​ບໍ່​ຢາກ​ເຊື່ອ​ຟັງ​ຄຳ​ເວົ້າ​ຂອງ​ມານ​ຮ້າຍ ແລະ​ເດີນ​ຕາມ​ຄວາມ​ປະສົງ​ຂອງ​ມັນ.

ລັກສະນະຂອງພຣະເຈົ້າຈະເຮັດຕາມພຣະປະສົງຂອງພຣະອົງ

From the moment you are born again and receive the nature of your Father God, you will long for Him and the things of His Kingdom. There must be a desire to do the will of God and to walk according to what God says.

A real father knows what is good for his child. A real father wants the best for his child. ຖ້າພໍ່ໃນໂລກຕ້ອງການສິ່ງທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດສໍາລັບລູກຂອງລາວ, ພຣະບິດາເທິງສະຫວັນຂອງເຈົ້າຫຼາຍເທົ່າໃດ.

ນັ້ນແມ່ນເຫດຜົນທີ່ວ່າ, God revealed His will to us in His Word (ຄໍາພີໄບເບິນ).

God revealed to us not only what pleases Him and what displeases Him, but He also revealed the way of salvation, ວິທີການ ກາຍ​ເປັນ​ການ​ສ້າງ​ໃຫມ່​ and how to walk as the new creation in His will.

God revealed it all in the Bible which is His Word. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ທາງຂອງລາວກາຍເປັນເສັ້ນທາງຂອງເຈົ້າ ແລະ His thoughts becomes your thoughts.

Did the people choose to sin or not to sin?

ພະເຍຊູບອກຊາຍຄົນນັ້ນ, ຜູ້ທີ່ໄດ້ຮັບການປິ່ນປົວຈາກຄວາມອ່ອນເພຍຂອງລາວແລະແມ່ຍິງ, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ຖືກ​ຈັບ​ໃນ​ການ​ກະ​ທໍາ​ຂອງ​ການ​ຫລິ້ນ​ຊູ້​ໄດ້​, ເພື່ອເຮັດບາບອີກຕໍ່ໄປ. ເພາະສະນັ້ນ, these people had the power to sin no more. They had the power to say ‘no to sin’. But did they obey the commandment of Jesus and choose to sin no more or not?

ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ກ່າວ​ກັບ​ລາວ, ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ຮັກ​ພະ​ເຢໂຫວາ​ພະເຈົ້າ​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ​ດ້ວຍ​ສຸດ​ໃຈ, ແລະດ້ວຍຈິດວິນຍານຂອງເຈົ້າ, ແລະດ້ວຍໃຈຂອງເຈົ້າທັງໝົດ. ນີ້​ແມ່ນ​ພຣະ​ບັນ​ຍັດ​ຂໍ້​ທໍາ​ອິດ​ແລະ​ຍິ່ງ​ໃຫຍ່. ແລະອັນທີສອງແມ່ນຄືກັບມັນ, ເຈົ້າຈົ່ງຮັກເພື່ອນບ້ານໃກ້ຄຽງເປັນຕົວເອງ. ໃນ​ພຣະ​ບັນ​ຍັດ​ສອງ​ຂໍ້​ນີ້​ໄດ້​ແຂວນ​ກົດ​ຫມາຍ​ທັງ​ຫມົດ​ແລະ​ສາດ​ສະ​ດາ (ມັດທາຍ 22:37-40)

ຜູ້ຍິງມີອຳນາດທີ່ຈະເວົ້າວ່າ 'ບໍ່’ ການຫລິ້ນຊູ້, ເພາະວ່າຖ້າບໍ່ດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ພຣະ​ເຢ​ຊູ​ຈະ​ບໍ່​ໄດ້​ໃຫ້​ພຣະ​ບັນ​ຍັດ​ໃຫ້​ນາງ​ໃຫ້​ເຮັດ​ບາບ​ອີກ​ຕໍ່​ໄປ. ຄໍາຖາມແມ່ນ, ຜູ້​ຍິງ​ຕອບ​ຮັບ​ພະ​ເຍຊູ​ບໍ’ ພຣະບັນຍັດບໍ່ໃຫ້ເຮັດບາບອີກຕໍ່ໄປ?

Did the adulterous woman obey the commandment of Jesus or did she let her feelings, ຄວາມຢາກຂອງນາງ, and her desire rule over the words of Jesus and give in to her feelings of lust and desire?

ຈໍາໄວ້, ເມື່ອພະເຍຊູສັ່ງບໍ່ໃຫ້ເຮັດບາບອີກຕໍ່ໄປ, His crucifixion and the ການຖອກເທຂອງພຣະວິນຍານບໍລິສຸດ had not taken place yet.

So these people were not born again. ພວກເຂົາຍັງເປັນການສ້າງເກົ່າ. However the old creation had the power to say ‘no’ ເພື່ອເຮັດບາບ ແລະບໍ່ໃຫ້ເຮັດບາບອີກຕໍ່ໄປ.

ເຈົ້າ​ຍັງ​ມີ​ອຳນາດ​ທີ່​ຈະ​ເຮັດ​ບາບ​ອີກ​ຕໍ່​ໄປ. ເຈົ້າຕັດສິນໃຈເຮັດບາບຫຼືບໍ່ເຮັດບາບ.

ຜ່ານ ວຽກ​ງານ​ການ​ໄຖ່​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ເຢຊູ​ຄຣິດ, ເຈົ້າໄດ້ຖືກເຮັດໃຫ້ບໍລິສຸດແລະຊອບທໍາ. ບັດ​ນີ້​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຖືກ​ເຮັດ​ໃຫ້​ບໍລິສຸດ ແລະ​ຊອບທຳ, ເຈົ້າ​ຍັງ​ໄດ້​ຖືກ​ເອີ້ນ​ໃຫ້​ດຳລົງ​ຊີວິດ​ໃນ​ຄວາມ​ບໍລິສຸດ ແລະ ຄວາມ​ຊອບທຳ (2 ໂກລິນໂທ 5:21).

ໄດ້​ບັນ​ທຶກ​ໄວ້​ໂດຍ​ພຣະ​ຄຸນ​ແລະ​ການ​ເຮັດ​ວຽກ​ງານ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ວິນ​ຍານ

ເຈົ້າຍັງບໍ່ໄດ້ບັນທືກໂດຍການເຮັດວຽກ, but by grace. ແຕ່ການຢູ່ໃຕ້ພຣະຄຸນບໍ່ໄດ້ໝາຍຄວາມວ່າເຈົ້າໄດ້ຮັບອະນຸຍາດໃຫ້ເຮັດບາບຕໍ່ໄປ. ເພາະ​ຖ້າ​ຫາກ​ເນື້ອ​ໜັງ​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ​ຕາຍ​ໃນ​ພຣະ​ຄຣິດ ເມື່ອ​ເຈົ້າ​ເກີດ​ໃໝ່, ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ເຮັດ​ວຽກ​ງານ​ຂອງ​ເນື້ອ​ໜັງ​ໄດ້​ແນວ​ໃດ?

ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ຮັກ​ພະ​ເຢໂຫວາ​ພະເຈົ້າ​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ​ດ້ວຍ​ສຸດ​ໃຈ, ແລະ ດ້ວຍ​ສຸດ​ຈິດ​ວິນ​ຍານ​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ ແລະ ດ້ວຍ​ສຸດ​ຄວາມ​ຄິດ​ຂອງ​ເຈົ້າ ແລະ ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ຮັກ​ເພື່ອນ​ບ້ານ​ເໝືອນ​ຮັກ​ຕົວ​ເອງ (ມັດທາຍ 22:37-40)

When you are saved and born again, you see the nature and effect of sin, ຊຶ່ງ​ເປັນ​ໝາກ​ຜົນ​ແຫ່ງ​ຄວາມ​ຕາຍ. You will hate sin, ຄືກັບພະເຈົ້າ. ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ກຽດ​ຊັງ​ຊີວິດ​ໃນ​ອະດີດ​ທີ່​ເປັນ​ຄົນ​ບາບ ແລະ​ຈະ​ບໍ່​ກັບ​ຄືນ​ມາ​ຫາ​ມັນ. (ອ່ານນຳ: ທ່ານສາມາດເຮັດການເຮັດວຽກພາຍໃນພຣະຄຸນໄດ້?)

ໃນເວລາທີ່ທ່ານ ຮັກພະເຈົ້າ ດ້ວຍສຸດໃຈຂອງທ່ານ, ວິນຢານ, ຈິດ, ແລະ​ຄວາມ​ເຂັ້ມ​ແຂງ​ທີ່​ທ່ານ​ຈະ​ຮັກ​ການ​ເຮັດ​ຕາມ​ພຣະ​ປະ​ສົງ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ອົງ.

You shall spend time with God and renew your mind with the Word of God (ຄໍາພີໄບເບິນ) and apply His words into your life, ເພື່ອ​ວ່າ​ເຈົ້າ​ຈະ​ກາຍ​ເປັນ​ຜູ້​ເຮັດ​ຕາມ​ພຣະ​ຄຳ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ເຈົ້າ ແລະ​ເຮັດ​ວຽກ​ງານ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ວິນ​ຍານ. ທ່ານບໍ່ຈໍາເປັນຕ້ອງ, ແຕ່ທ່ານຕ້ອງການ, ເພາະ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຖືກ​ສ້າງ​ຂຶ້ນ​ໃນ​ຮູບ​ແບບ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ອົງ ແລະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຮັກ​ພຣະ​ເຈົ້າ.

ເມື່ອພຣະຄໍາແລະພຣະວິນຍານບໍລິສຸດສະຖິດຢູ່ໃນຕົວເຈົ້າ, ເຈົ້າຈະເດີນຕາມພຣະວິນຍານໃນການເຊື່ອຟັງພຣະຄໍາ. ເຈົ້າຈະຍ່າງໃນຄວາມຮັກ, ຄວາມບໍຣົມ, ແລະຄວາມຊອບທໍາ, ການ​ເຮັດ​ຕາມ​ພຣະ​ປະ​ສົງ​ຂອງ​ພຣະ​ບິ​ດາ​ແລະ​ການ​ຍົກ​ສູງ​ແລະ​ການ​ຍົກ​ຍ້ອງ​ພຣະ​ອົງ.
