Meta titwieled mill-ġdid fi Kristu, inti ġejt magħmul ġust. Il-Bibbja tgħid, God had made Jesus, li ma kien jaf dnub, li tkun dnub għalina, li ma kien jaf dnub, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Korintin 5:20-21). M'għadekx iben ix-xitan, midneb, imma int sirt iben Alla, qaddis. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Il-ġust jimxi fit-tjieba
U issa, tfal żgħar, ibqgħu fiH; dak, meta Huwa għandu jidher, jista’ jkollna fiduċja, u tistħiex quddiemu mal-miġja Tiegħu. Jekk taf li Hu ġust, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 John 2:28-29)
A imwieled mill-ġdid Kristjan is born of God and has become a son of God (Dan japplika kemm għall-irġiel kif ukoll għan-nisa).
Meta titwieled mill-ġdid, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(jekk jogħġbok innota: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, by His work; Sagrifiċċju Tiegħu u demmu. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Meta timxi wara l-Ispirtu, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Jekk tħobbni, Żomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi
Ġesù qal: “Jekk tħobbni, Żomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi” (John 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 jew 3 hours a week, imma 24 sigħat kuljum, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Triqtu) and stay obedient to Him.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, int se tibqa’ fih, u żomm il-kmandamenti Tiegħu, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Kelma ta ’Alla), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
Meta int, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
