Sekiranya anda adalah Anak Tuhan, Maka dunia tidak mengenali anda, Kerana dunia tidak mengenalnya. Itulah yang dikatakan Alkitab 1 John 3:1. Dunia tidak akan memahami anda lagi dan menganggap anda bodoh dan berbulu. Kenapa? Kerana dunia terletak pada kegelapan dan mereka, yang tergolong dalam dunia adalah duniawi dan berjalan selepas daging menurut penguasa dunia dan diperintah oleh deria, emosi, perasaan, pemikiran dan lain -lain. Daging menguasai kehidupan. Tetapi jika anda dilahirkan semula dalam Kristus, anda telah dipindahkan dari kegelapan ke dalam kerajaan Tuhan dan oleh itu anda tidak akan hidup lagi seperti dunia (dalam kegelapan) lagi. Anda telah menjadi anak lelaki atau anak perempuan Tuhan dan tidak lagi menjadi anak lelaki atau anak perempuan syaitan. Anda dilahirkan dari Tuhan. Tuhan telah menjadi Bapa -Mu, therefore you shall listen to Him and do His will. This means that you shall walk after the Spirit, being led by the Word and the Spirit and walk in the will of God.
Separated from the world
Lihatlah, Apa Cara Cinta Bapa telah diberikan kepada kita, bahawa kita harus dipanggil anak -anak Tuhan: oleh itu dunia tidak mengenali kita, because it knew him not (1 John 3:1)
Sebaik sahaja anda menjadi dilahirkan semula, dan menjadi Anak Tuhan, you will be separated from the world. Your spirit will become alive by the power of the Holy Spirit. You will receive God’s nature, oleh pemulaan Roh Kudus. Semasa anda memperbaharui fikiran anda dengan Firman Tuhan, and apply the words of God into your life, you will live by what the Word says, instead of what the world, your senses and your feelings say.
Roh Kudus, Who lives inside of you will guide you and teach you, so that you will be able to understand the Word of God. Lebih banyak awak memperbaharui fikiran anda dengan Firman Tuhan, the more your mind will be transformed into the mind of Christ, and will line up with Kehendak Tuhan. When you apply the Word of God in your everyday life, you shall stay in the Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh.
The world will turn against you
Semasa anda menjadi Anak Tuhan, and walk after the Spirit and do what the Word says, you shall notice, that the world shall change her attitude towards you and shall treat you differently. The persons, who were once your friends, kenalan, family members or close colleagues, will change their behaviour and some will even turn against you.
The more you begin to look and act like the Word, the more hostile they will become. Maybe you don’t understand what’s happening, and are you looking for answers to explain their hostile behaviour towards you. But you shall not find the answer, anda mencari.
Mungkin anda fikir, that you did something wrong, and want to find out, what you have done wrong. But let me tell you this: you didn’t do anything wrong and they didn’t do anything wrong.
It’s about the fact, that the father of this world; syaitan, hates the Person, yang tinggal di dalam diri anda: Yesus.
The devil hates Him and will always hate Him. Itu, anak-anak syaitan, will also hate the children of God. No one can change that. It’s a fact.
“Sekiranya dunia membenci anda, know that it hated Me before it hated you”
Yesus berkata: Sekiranya dunia membenci anda, Anda tahu bahawa ia membenci saya sebelum membenci anda. Sekiranya anda berada di dunia, dunia akan menyukai sendiri: Tetapi kerana anda bukan dari dunia, Tetapi saya telah memilih anda dari dunia, oleh itu dunia membenci anda. Ingat perkataan yang saya katakan kepada anda, Hamba itu tidak lebih besar daripada tuannya. Sekiranya mereka menganiaya saya, Mereka juga akan menganiaya anda; Sekiranya mereka terus berkata, Mereka akan menjaga anda juga (Jn 15:18-20)
Semasa anda dilahirkan semula, you shall no longer live the way you used to live; selepas daging. But you shall live after the Spirit and the Word. Kerana itu, the world shall no longer like you, and shall even hate you.
Dunia tidak boleh membenci anda; tetapi saya benci, Kerana saya memberi keterangan tentangnya, bahawa karya -karyanya adalah jahat (Jn 7:7)
Ketika murid -muridnya adalah ciptaan lama, the world didn’t hate them. But the world hated Jesus, because He testified that her works were evil.
The same Holy Spirit, Who lived in Jesus, hidup dalam diri anda, and will also testify that the works of the world are evil. Yesus tidak pernah membenarkan dosa, but revealed sin and called the people to Pertaubatan.
A sweet fragrance or a nasty fragrance?
You shall be a sweet fragrance to those, who are looking for the truth, and to those, whom God has chosen. But you shall be a nasty fragrance to those, who don’t want to listen to the words of God and want to keep living in rebellion against God and His Word.
Sebab kami bagi Allah adalah bau harum Kristus, dalam mereka yang diselamatkan, dan pada mereka yang binasa: Bagi seseorang kita adalah bau kematian sampai mati; dan kepada yang lain bau kehidupan kepada kehidupan (2 Co 2:15,16)
When the world loves you, you should examine yourself, if you really walk according to what the Word says? Are you really a sweet savor of Christ unto God? Or are you still a savor of death unto God? Are you really born again by the Holy Spirit, do you walk after the Spirit? Or are you still a sinner? Do you habitually live in unrighteousness and sin, and are death to Him?
Trying hard to be accepted by the world
Why are so many Christians trying so hard to be accepted by the world? Why do they want to be liked by the world, and adjust Gods Word to the world, so that they can join them and live exactly like the world? Why don’t Christians just remove the worldly things out of their lives, instead of Christianizing worldly things and make them all right and acceptable to them, so that they can keep doing them? Why do believers try to save the world by changing the church of Christ into a people’s church, where people are the center instead of Christ? Why don’t they come out for the Word and stand on the Word? Why don’t they take a stand for Jesus Christ? Kenapa? Kenapa?
Jangan cintakan dunia, mahupun perkara yang ada di dunia. Jika ada lelaki yang mencintai dunia, kasih Bapa tidak ada di dalam dia (1 Jn 2:15)
If the world loves you, and you love the world and live like the world, then the love of the Father is not present in you. When the love of God is not present in you, then the Holy Spirit is not present in you, and therefore Jesus is not present in you. Ini bukan kata-kata saya, but they are His Words.
