The armor is of light in Romans 13:12 is meant for Christians. Every Christian, yang dilahirkan kembali dalam Kristus, 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. Itu, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, berjalan dalam kegelapan, 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, Alam semulajadi, dan kerajaan, 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
Malam itu jauh dibelanjakan, hari sudah siap: Oleh itu, marilah kita melepaskan karya kegelapan, and let us put on the armor of light. Mari kita berjalan dengan jujur, Seperti pada siang hari; tidak dalam rusuhan dan mabuk, tidak dalam kebingungan dan keanehan, tidak dalam perselisihan dan iri hati. Tetapi kenakanlah Tuhan Yesus Kristus, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts (orang Rom 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. Itu, it’s time, that all the Christians, yang mengatakan mereka percaya, 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.
Di sekeliling kita, 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, pelanggaran undang-undang, 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.
Itu, it’s time that those, yang mengatakan mereka percaya, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; perkataan itu, and are sons of God (Ini terpakai kepada lelaki dan perempuan), who don’t belong to the darkness (dunia) lagi, but the Light.
Biarkan dosa tidak lagi memerintah sebagai raja dalam hidup anda
Oleh itu, jangan biarkan dosa berkuasa di dalam tubuhmu yang fana, supaya kamu menurutinya mengikut hawa nafsunya. Janganlah kamu menyerahkan anggota tubuhmu sebagai alat kejahatan kepada dosa: tetapi serahkanlah dirimu kepada Tuhan, sebagai mereka yang hidup daripada kematian, dan anggota tubuhmu sebagai alat kebenaran kepada Tuhan (orang Rom 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.
Itu, orang, 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 dalam kehidupan mereka.
Tetapi Alkitab (Firman Tuhan) 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.
Dan tidak mempunyai persekutuan dengan karya kegelapan yang tidak berbuah, tetapi sebaliknya menafikan mereka. Kerana ia memalukan walaupun untuk bercakap tentang perkara -perkara yang dilakukan oleh mereka secara rahsia. Tetapi semua perkara yang ditekankan dibuat dengan cahaya: untuk apa jua bentuk yang nyata adalah ringan (Efesus 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 menangguhkan orang tua itu. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
Oleh itu, azab anggota-anggotamu yang ada di bumi; perzinaan, Kekotoran, kasih sayang yang berlebihan, koncupiscence jahat, dan ketamakan, yang merupakan penyembahan berhala: Untuk perkara yang mana’ demi kemurkaan Tuhan datang ke atas anak-anak ketidaktaatan: Di mana kamu juga berjalan beberapa lama, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; kemarahan, murka, niat jahat, penghujatan, komunikasi kotor keluar dari mulut anda. Jangan berbohong satu sama lain, kerana kamu telah menanggalkan orang lama dengan perbuatannya; Dan telah memakai lelaki baru, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (Kolose 3:5-10)
Sekarang karya daging itu nyata, yang ini; Zina, perzinaan, Kekotoran, Lasciviousness, Penyembahan berhala, Sihir, kebencian, varians, emulasi, murka, perselisihan, hasutan, heresies, Hasad dengki, Pembunuhan, mabuk, Revelings, dan seperti itu: yang saya ceritakan sebelum ini, Seperti yang saya telah memberitahu anda pada masa lalu, bahawa mereka yang melakukan perkara sedemikian tidak akan mewarisi kerajaan Tuhan(Galatia 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; kerja-kerja kegelapan.
After Jesus Christ, Anak Tuhan, was baptized in water by Yohanes Pembaptis and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, Yesus dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus ke padang gurun.
Di padang gurun, Yesus adalah digoda oleh syaitan selama empat puluh hari. 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.
Dan sama seperti Yesus, 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, yang membawa kepada dosa.
And that’s only possible if you cintakan Allah dengan sepenuh hati, jiwa, Fikiran, dan kekuatan,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, sama seperti Yesus, Who loved His Father with all His heart, jiwa, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
Apa kehendak Tuhan?
Kerana ini adalah kehendak Tuhan, malah pengudusan anda, supaya kamu menjauhi zina: Supaya setiap orang di antara kamu mengetahui cara memiliki bejananya dalam kesucian dan kehormatan; Bukan pada nafsu nafsu, sama seperti orang bukan Yahudi yang tidak mengenal Tuhan: Bahawa tiada seorang pun melampaui batas dan menipu saudaranya dalam apa jua perkara: kerana Tuhan adalah pembalas semua yang demikian, sebagaimana kami juga telah memperingatkan kamu dan memberi kesaksian. Sebab Allah tidak memanggil kita kepada kecemaran, tetapi kepada kekudusan. Oleh itu dia yang menghina, tidak menghina manusia, Tetapi Tuhan, yang juga telah memberikan kepada kita Roh Kudus-Nya (1 Tesalonika 4:3-8)
And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, dan lakukan mereka (Yehezkiel 36:27)
Dan jangan sesuai dengan dunia ini: tetapi anda akan berubah dengan memperbaharui fikiran anda, Bahawa kamu dapat membuktikan apa yang baik, dan boleh diterima, dan sempurna, kehendak Tuhan (orang Rom 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. Namun begitu, 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 memperbaharui fikiran mereka dengan Firman Tuhan. Jadi itu, 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. Melalui ketaatan mereka kepada Tuhan, mereka berjalan dalam cinta 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 (yang pembaptisan dalam air dan pembaptisan dengan Roh Kudus).
Itu, Saudara-saudara, Kami adalah penghutang, bukan untuk daging, untuk hidup selepas daging. Kerana jika kamu hidup setelah daging, kamu akan mati: Tetapi jika kamu melalui Roh merosakkan perbuatan badan, kamu akan hidup Kerana seberapa ramai yang dipimpin oleh Roh Tuhan, mereka adalah anak -anak Tuhan. Kerana kamu tidak menerima roh perhambaan lagi untuk ketakutan; tetapi kamu telah menerima Roh pengangkatan, dimana kita menangis, Abba, Bapa (orang Rom 8:12-15)
During the process of pengudusan, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, who has the nature of the devil, 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) Roh, 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, dan ingin berbohong, rebel, fornicate, melakukan perzinaan, perceraian, Tonton lucah, 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 (Timur) falsafah, Sihir, ramalan, berunding dengan roh, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, mencuri, benci, Bunuh, jadilah Tidak kenal pasti towards others, recompense evil for evil, Dll.
Kerana menurut Alkitab, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; orang berdosa. 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.
Semua, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
Kerana kamu adalah semua anak -anak Allah dengan iman kepada Kristus Yesus. Kerana seberapa banyak daripada anda yang telah dibaptiskan ke dalam Kristus telah memakai Kristus (Galatia 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. Itu, the spiritual transformation of the lelaki tua into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
Lelaki baru itu, who has been made in the image of the Creator, shall put on Jesus Christ; the Word and walk in the light; in the truth of God, 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, jiwa, 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, zina, perzinaan, berbohong, mencuri, Bunuh, 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 (Matthew 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, jiwa, Fikiran, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, anda akan dapat:
- 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.
