The armor is of light in Romans 13:12 is meant for Christians. Every Christian, who is born again in Christ, is delivered from the power of darkness and transferred into the light. Christians don’t belong to the darkness anymore, but to the Kingdom of Light. Tāpēc, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, staigāt tumsā, and do the works of darkness. But Christians shall live in the Kingdom of God and do righteous works. Through the new birth and the change of sonship, daba, and kingdom, Christians shall put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light and walk in the light. let’s look at the armor of light in Romans 13:12 and how you put on the armor of light according to the Bible.
Put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light
Nakts ir tālu pavadīta, diena ir klāt: tāpēc atmetīsim tumsas darbus, and let us put on the armor of light. Ļaujiet mums staigāt godīgi, Tāpat kā dienā; nevis nemieros un dzērumā, nevis kamerā un neprātībā, nevis nesaskaņās un apskaužot. Bet ģērbieties Kungā Jēzū Kristū, un nerūpējieties par miesu, to fulfill the lusts (Romieši 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. Tāpēc, it’s time, that all the Christians, kuri saka, ka tic, wake up from their spiritual sleep. It’s time to arise in Christ and walk in boldness after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in the light.
Visapkārt mums, we see an increase of the power of darkness. More and more spiritual ground is being taken by the power of darkness, which is visible in the natural realm in nature and the lives of people.
The main reasons for the increase of darkness are the increase of apostasy, nelikumību, and the lukewarm state of people, who claim to be Christians.
Many Christians don’t speak the truth but keep their mouths shut about the Truth of God to prevent conflicts or rejection by people.
Instead of standing on the Word, they compromise with the world and approve the works of darkness. They even partake in the works of darkness.
There is hardly any distinction between good and evil and the majority of believers and unbelievers.
Tāpēc, it’s time that those, kuri saka, ka tic, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; vārds, and are sons of God (tas attiecas gan uz vīriešiem, gan uz sievietēm), who don’t belong to the darkness (pasaule) vairs, but the Light.
Ļaujiet grēkam vairs nevaldīt kā karalis jūsu dzīvē
Tāpēc lai grēks nevalda jūsu mirstīgajā miesā, lai jūs tam paklausītos tās kārībās. Neatdodiet savus locekļus kā netaisnības instrumentus grēkam: bet padodieties Dievam, kā tie, kas ir dzīvi no mirušajiem, un jūsu locekļus kā taisnības instrumentus Dievam (Romieši 6:12-13)
People who keep walking in darkness and doing the works of darkness and obey and serve sin and death through their flesh, don’t walk in the light.
Tāpēc, cilvēkiem, who walk in darkness are not the light in the world.
They shall not be able to deliver other people from the power of darkness. They shall also not be able to teach others in the truth of God’s Word. Since they are blinded and walk in darkness themselves and sin still reigns as king savā dzīvē.
Bet Bībele (Dieva Vārds) commands everyone, to put off the works of darkness and no longer walk after the lusts of the flesh. The Bible commands everyone to walk as children of light and put on the armor of light and yield their members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Un jums nav sadraudzības ar tumsas neauglīgajiem darbiem, bet drīzāk pārmet tos. Jo ir kauns pat runāt par to, ko viņi dara slepeni. Bet viss, kas tiek pārmests, tiek atklāts gaismā: jo viss, ko dara, ir gaisma (Efeziešiem 5:11-13)
The Word commands to not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but to reprove the works of darkness by the truth of God.
How do you cast off the works of darkness and put off the old man?
Every believer should cast off the works of darkness and atliec vecīti. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
Tāpēc iznīcini savus locekļus, kas ir virs zemes; netiklība, nešķīstība, pārmērīga pieķeršanās, ļauna aizraušanās, un mantkārība, kas ir elkdievība: Kurām lietām’ Dieva dusmas nāk pār nepaklausības bērniem: Kurā arī jūs kādu laiku staigājāt, kad jūs tajās dzīvojāt. Bet tagad arī jūs to visu noliekat; dusmas, dusmas, ļaunprātība, zaimošana, netīra komunikācija no tavas mutes. Nemelojiet viens otram, redzot, ka jūs veco vīru ar viņa darbiem esat noģērbuši; Un ir uzvilcis jauno vīrieti, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (Kolosieši 3:5-10)
Tagad miesas darbi ir izpausmīgi, kas ir šie; Laulības pārkāpšana, netiklība, nešķīstība, neveiklība, Elkdievība, Maģija, naids, dispersija, emulācijas, dusmas, nesaskaņas, sedīcija, ķecerības, Skaudības, slepkavības, piedzēries, pārcelšanās, Un tāds kā: no tā, ko es jums iepriekš saku, Kā es jums arī teicu pagātnē, Ka tie, kas dara šādas lietas, ne manto Dieva valstību(Galatiešiem 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; tumsas darbi.
After Jesus Christ, Dieva Dēls, was baptized in water by Jānis Kristītājs and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, Jēzu Svētais Gars veda uz tuksnesi.
tuksnesī, Jēzus bija tempted by the devil for forty days. During those forty days, Jesus learned to stay obedient to His Father and resist the devil and all his temptations.
Jesus didn’t compromise and didn’t bow to the devil. But Jesus only bowed to His Father, by staying faithful and obedient to His Father and His will.
Un gluži kā Jēzus, the sons of God should also walk in obedience to the Word and the Holy Spirit. They should resist the devil and don’t give into his deceptions and temptations, kas noved pie grēka.
And that’s only possible if you mīli Dievu no visas sirds, dvēsele, prātot, un izturība,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, Tāpat kā Jēzus, Who loved His Father with all His heart, dvēsele, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
Kāda ir Dieva griba?
Jo šī ir Dieva griba, Pat jūsu svētdarīšana, lai jūs atturētos no netiklības: Lai katrs no jums zinātu, kā svētībā un godā iegūt savu trauku; Nevis iekāres iekārē, tāpat kā pagāni, kas nepazīst Dievu: Ka neviens cilvēks nepārkāpj un nekrāpj brāli jebkurā jautājumā: jo tas Kungs ir visu tādu atriebējs, kā mēs arī esam jūs brīdinājuši un liecinājuši. Jo Dievs mūs nav aicinājis uz nešķīstību, bet uz svētumu. Tāpēc tas, kas nicina, nenicina cilvēku, bet Dievs, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit (1 Tesaloniķieši 4:3-8)
Un Es ielikšu jūsos Savu Garu, un likt jums staigāt pēc Maniem likumiem, un jums būs ievērot Manus spriedumus, un dari tos (Ezekiel 36:27)
Un neatbilst šai pasaulei: Bet jūs esat pārveidots par jūsu prāta atjaunošanu, ka jūs varētu pierādīt, kas ir tik labs, un pieņemams, un ideāls, Dieva griba (Romieši 12:2)
Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, God’s will is written in the mind and heart of the new man. Tomēr, the carnal mind is not renewed with the Word and thinks like the world, and can become a hindrance in the lives of Christians. A carnal mind ensure that people keep walking in disobedience to the Word in unbelief.
Therefore Christians need to atjaunot savu prātu ar Dieva Vārdu. Tā ka, they will get to know the Father and His will.
Through their love for God and by faith in God and His Word, they shall obey the words of God. They shall apply His words in their lives and walk according to His words and abide in the Word. Caur viņu paklausību Dievam, viņi walk in love according to the will of God.
What does the Bible say about the process of sanctification?
The process of sanctification is a process that every person, who has repented and has become a new creation in Jesus Christ shall go through. Even when you are raised in a Christian family, you shall go through the process of sanctification after you’ve become born again (, kā arī kristības ūdenī un kristības ar Svēto Garu).
Tāpēc, brāļi, mēs esam parādnieki, nevis uz miesu, dzīvot pēc miesas. Jo ja jūs dzīvojat pēc miesas, tu mirsi: bet ja jūs ar Garu nonāvējat miesas darbus, jūs dzīvosit, jo tie, kurus vada Dieva Gars, viņi ir Dieva dēli. Jo jūs neesat saņēmuši verdzības garu, lai atkal baidītos; bet jūs esat saņēmuši adoptēšanas Garu, ar ko mēs raudam, Abba, Tēvs (Romieši 8:12-15)
During the process of svētdarīšanu, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, kam piemīt velna daba, and put on the armor of light. You will put on the new man and be clothed with Jesus Christ.
You shall no longer do the works of the flesh. But through (the power of) Gars, you shall kill the works of the flesh and do the works of the Spirit, which produces life and peace.
You shall no longer listen to the lusts and desires of your flesh, that commands you to love yourself and the world and reject the words of God, and wants to lie, rebel, netiklība, pārkāpt laulību, šķiršanās, skatīties Porn, and have sexual relationships with someone, who isn’t your spouse/of the same gender/multiple persons/yourself/children or animals.
You’ll no longer listen to your flesh that wants you to walk in pride and commands you to get involved with strange religions and/or (Austrumu) filozofija, Maģija, zīlēšana, konsultējieties ar gariem, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, nozagt, ienīst, nogalināt, būt nepiedodošs towards others, recompense evil for evil, Uc.
Because according to the Bible, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; grēcinieks. These works of darkness don’t belong in the life of the new man, who has been made holy and righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him.
Visi, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
Jo jūs visi esat Dieva bērni, ticot Kristum Jēzum. Jo tik daudz no jums, cik kristīti Kristū, ir uzvilkuši Kristu (Galatiešiem 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. Tāpēc, the spiritual transformation of the sirmgalvis into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
Jaunais cilvēks, who has been made in the image of the Creator, shall put on Jesus Christ; the Word and walk in the light; Dieva patiesībā, in the armor of light.
When you have become the new man, you shall walk after the Spirit and shall love God with all your heart, dvēsele, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself, which means that you shall serve no other gods and have no idols, you shall not commit spiritual adultery with other religions and/or philosophies, and shall not commit witchcraft, laulības pārkāpšana, netiklība, gulēt, nozagt, nogalināt, envy etc.
How do you put on the armor of light?
You put on the armor of light by yielding to Jesus Christ; the Word and the Holy Spirit and doing what is written in the Word.
As long as you stay faithful to Jesus Christ and walk after the will of the Father you shall do righteous works; the works of light and shall walk in righteousness.
The path of righteousness is not the path of the world. It’s a narrow path and only few shall find it or keep walking on this path (Metjū 7:14). Your walk in life depends on your love for Jesus Christ and the Father.
Only if you are born again in Christ and love God with all your heart, dvēsele, prātot, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, tu varēsi:
- Resist all the temptations of the devil,
- Fulfill your task in the Kingdom of God on earth,
- Be a witness of Jesus Christ,
- Do the works of light,
- Stand in the faith.
