«Vi er alle syndere», Det kan høres så fromt og ydmykt ut, men i virkeligheten, it’s an insult to God and the redemptive work and precious blood of Jesus Christ and belongs to the many false doctrines that are preached. This false doctrine keeps people in bondage of sin and death and prevents them from living in freedom after the Spirit. Because this false doctrine doesn’t call the people to repentance and the removal of sin, but allows the people to persevere in sin and to tolerate and support the sins of others. På grunn av denne undervisningen, people don’t have to change but can stay the way they are. And so the devil has seduced many Christians and keeps them in bondage through his lie and caused Christians to live in disobedience to God and His will. But what does the Bible say about the sinner and the saint? When are you a sinner and when are you a saint?
Alle er født som syndere
Som det er skrevet, Det er ingen rettferdig, Nei, ikke en: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. De er alle gått ut av veien, de er sammen blitt ulønnsomme; there is none that does good, Nei, ikke en (romerne 3:10)
Hvorfor, som ved ett menneske kom synden inn i verden, og død ved synd; og slik gikk døden over alle mennesker, for det har alle syndet. For inntil loven var synd i verden (romerne 5:12-13)
The devil always uses half-truths instead of the whole truth. Dette burde ikke være overraskende, because the devil is a liar and the father of liars. Han snakker ikke sannheten, but he always leaves a part of the whole truth away, so that people become ulydig mot Gud og hans vilje.
This is also the case with the teaching that man always remains a sinner. It’s correct that everyone, who is born on this earth in the flesh is a sinner. No one is born righteous. Everyone is born in unrighteousness (Salmer 51:5). That’s because of the fall of man, whereby the spirit of man died and came under the authority of the death, and man fell from his position and became a son of the devil. Fra det øyeblikket, evil was present in the seed of man. Alle sammen, som skulle bli født av Adams ætt (Mann) ville bli født som en synder (Les også: ‘Kampen i hagen')).
Man was trapped in the flesh, wherein sin and death reign and lived from the sinful nature of the flesh. Ved å gi loven, God made His will known to the carnal man and the sacrificial laws were given to (midlertidig) purify God’s people from their sins and iniquities.
Inntil Guds løfte, Jesus Kristus, Guds sønn og det levende ord, came to the earth and fulfilled the redemptive work for (falt) Mann, and redeemed man from his state as a sinner. This last part is always left out by the devil.
Jesus Kristus, Guds Sønn, was born of the Seed of God
Jesus was not born of the seed of man but was born of the Seed of God. Therefore Jesus Christ was holy and righteous and not a sinner and unrighteous, just like Adam and Eve were holy and righteous before the fall of man.
Jesus became equal to man and was fullt menneskelig, therefore Jesus had the ability to sin and to leave the will of God through disobedience to God.
Because if this wouldn’t be possible, the devil would not have tried to tempt Jesus to sin, just like the devil tempted Adam and Eve to sin.
And so the devil approached Jesus and tried to tempt Jesus to sin by using the words of God for the lusts and desires of His flesh (Les også: Jeg vil gi deg verdens rikdom’)
But Jesus knew the nature and will of God and He also was familiar with the nature and the will of the devil and therefore Jesus refuted the partial truth of the devil with the whole truth of God.
And so Jesus overcame the temptations of the devil in the flesh with the words of God.
This didn’t happen once in the wilderness, but this happened during His whole life on earth.
The devil continuously tried to tempt Jesus to sin directly and through the people around Him and caused Him to bow to him. But because Jesus walked in obedience to the Father in His will after the Spirit, Jesus discerned the hearts of the people and the temptations of the devil, and so the mission of the devil failed.
“Get thee behind me, Satan: du er en anstøt for meg: for du nyter ikke det som er av Gud, but those that be of men”
The devil even used the disciple Peter to tempt Jesus to sin and leave the will of God through disobedience and avoid the korsets vei.
The words of Peter sounded so loving, sincere, and compassionate, and may seem they came from God, but Jesus knew the will of the Father and recognized the words that derived from the feelings and emotions of the flesh. Therefore Jesus said to Peter: "Få deg bak meg, Satan: du er en anstøt for meg: for du nyter ikke det som er av Gud, but those that be of men”
At that moment Peter was an adversary of God and didn’t speak according to a revelation of the Father, but Peter spoke from a carnal mind, since Peter tried to hinder the great work of redemption of mankind in history (Matthew 16:21-23).
Despite all the temptations of the devil through the spiritual leaders of God’s people and even His own disciples, Jesus stayed yielded to the Father and remained obedient to the will of the Father and the Holy Spirit and freely laid down His own life
Han sendte Sitt Ord og helbredet dem
For han har gjort ham til synd for oss, som ikke kjente til synd; så vi kan bli gjort til Guds rettferdighet i ham (2 Korinterne 5:21)
And so Jesus was wounded, bruised, and made sick (put Him to grief), because the Father laid the sins and iniquities of man and the punishment of sin, som er døden, upon Jesus Christ.
And so Jesus Christ was made sin and became the Substitute for fallen man; the sinner and through His blood, død, og oppstandelse, He would redeem many, who lived as sinners in the kingdom of darkness and were prisoners of death, and take them to heaven and by faith and regeneration in Him would give a place in the Heavenlies on His throne and become co-heirs with Him (Salmer 107:20, Jesaja 45:12–13; 53, Sakarja 10:9-13, Efeserne 4:7-11, Kolosserne 3:1)
Through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and His blood everything is finished. Jesus restored what was broken and made man whole (Helbredet) and reconciled man with God.
Through the blood of Christ, the position of fallen man is restored and man doesn’t belong to the generation of fallen man (gammel mann); synderen, but belongs to the generation of the new man; the saint.
There is no condemnation in Christ
Derfor er det nå ingen fordømmelse for dem som er i Kristus Jesus, som ikke vandrer etter kjødet, men etter Ånden. For livets Ånds lov i Kristus Jesus har frigjort meg fra syndens og dødens lov. For det loven ikke kunne gjøre, ved at den var svak gjennom kjødet, Gud sender sin egen Sønn i syndig kjøds likhet, og for synd, fordømt synd i kjødet: For at lovens rettferdighet skulle bli oppfylt i oss, som ikke vandrer etter kjødet, men etter Ånden.
For de som er etter kjødet, tenker på det som hører kjødet til; men de som er etter Ånden, det som hører Ånden til. For å være kjødelig tenkende er døden; Men å være åndelig tenkende er liv og fred.
Fordi det kjødelige sinnet er fiendskap mot Gud: for det er ikke underlagt Guds lov, Verken kan faktisk være. Så da kan de som er i kjødet ikke glede Gud.
Men dere er ikke i kjødet, men i Ånden, hvis det er slik at Guds Ånd bor i dere. Men om noen ikke har Kristi Ånd, Han er ingen av hans.
Og hvis Kristus er i deg, Kroppen er død på grunn av synd; Men Ånden er livet på grunn av rettferdighet.
Men hvis ånden til ham som reiste opp Jesus fra de døde bor i deg, Den som reiste opp Kristus fra de døde, skal også gjøre dine dødelige kropper raskere av hans Ånd som bor i deg. (romerne 8:1-11.
Through faith and regeneration, man has laid down his flesh, der synden naturen bor, i Kristus.
By the death of the flesh, man has been redeemed from the syndens og dødens lov, which reigns in the flesh and man doesn’t live under the law, but under the grace of God (Les også: 'Hva er nåde?’, 'Tapt i nådens hav’, ‘Forskjellen mellom lov og nåde’)
Man has become a new creation; En Guds sønn, en helgen, through the identification with Christ and regeneration; the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead in Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
Can the Holy Spirit abide in a sinner?
Det er mange troende, who say they are lagret and born again and have the Holy Spirit, while they keep saying that they are sinners. Men det er umulig! If you are a sinner, you don’t live in the will of God, but outside the will of God.
You are either a sinner and belongs through your flesh to the devil and the kingdom of darkness (jordens rike) or you have become a saint through regeneration and belongs through your spirit to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God (Himmelriket (Åh. romerne 8, Efeserne 1:3-14, Kolosserne 1:12-14, 1 John 3:1-10)).
The Holy Spirit can’t abide in an unclean person; en synder. Derfor, if someone says that he or she is a sinner, then the person is not born again and is not redeemed from the power of sin and death and therefore the person is not saved. The person still lives in the kingdom of darkness and is blinded in his or her carnal mind and is still a prisoner of sin and death and walks after the flesh in disobedience to God and His will.
What is a sinner?
A sinner is a son of the devil and has the nature of the devil and lives in darkness without God (ugudelig) and is prideful, opprørsk, and disobedient and refuses to submit to God and the law of the Kingdom of God that represents the will of God.
Therefore a sinner, who has a carnal mind can’t please God, because the sinner is not willing to submit to the law of God (romerne 8:6-8)
A sinner lives outside the will of God and is not saved. Therefore if you say, that you are a sinner and keep doing those things, som går imot Guds vilje, you are not redeemed from the death, and sin and death still reign in your flesh. Siden dødens frukt er synd.
If you can’t say that you are righteous and have become a saint, which means that through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and by His blood you have been made righteous and have been separated from the world unto God, then you don’t have the Holy Spirit and don’t belong to Him.
Why do they preach that you always remain a sinner?
The problem is that many preachers who preach from the pulpit are carnal (natural man) and refuse to lay down their flesh. Therefore they adjust the words of God in such a subtle manner, so that it may seem that the pious doctrine, that they always remain sinners, is coming from God and make them look humble, men i virkeligheten, it’s falsk ydmykhet and a prideful doctrine that leads to rebellion against God and disobedience to the will of God. And so they use this doctrine as an excuse, so that they can stay the way they are and keep living in lasciviousness after the flesh and persevere in sin.
And because believers don’t read and study the Word of God by themselves, but believe the words of preachers, the believers have become indifferent towards sin and have accepted sin, due to the fact that they think they are sinners and that they will always remain sinners.
På grunn av denne tankegangen, they will not repent and remove the sins from their lives and walk after the will of God, but they keep walking after the flesh and persevere in sin.
Because how can you walk holy and righteous as a son of God if you believe that you are a sinner?
They also preach this doctrine to new visitors of the church. They are being told that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you don’t have to change, because God loves you just the way you are.
And so they live by faith in the humanistic love of the world in enmity with God as workers of iniquity. And although they believe they are saved through their humanistic way of life and works, de er ikke reddet. Fordi Ordet sier, that the ungodly; Syndere, are not saved but for them is the blackness of darkness forever reserved (Jude).
Although preachers say that you always remain a sinner and that it doesn’t matter how you live, God says something else in His Word, namely that it does matter how you live.
Gud elsker mennesker, but God doesn’t love the sin of people and therefore God gave His Son to redeem man from the power of sin and death and to justify man and reconcile man with Him, av tro og fornyelse i Kristus.
Er du fortsatt en synder?
Hvis vi sier at vi ikke har noen synd, vi lurer oss selv, og sannheten er ikke i oss. Hvis vi bekjenner våre synder, Han er trofast og rettferdig for å tilgi oss våre synder, og rense oss fra all urettferdighet. Hvis vi sier at vi ikke har syndet, vi gjør ham til en løgner, og hans ord er ikke i oss(1 John 1:8-10)
As long as a person doesn’t repent and become born again by faith in Jesus Christ and the conviction of sin, the person remains a sinner and lives separated from God.
Hver person, who is born on earth is born in sin and iniquity and is a sinner. Ingen er ekskludert. Not even when you are born of the seed of Israel or have been raised in a Christian home.
No one has been made righteous because of that. A person can only be made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. There is no other Way to God and eternal life than through Jesus Christ.
Det spiller ingen rolle hva folk sier, the Word is very clear about this matter. Og til slutt, the Word decides where you will spend eternity.
Gud er lys og i ham er det ikke noe mørke
Dette er da budskapet vi har hørt om ham, og forkynn for deg, at Gud er lys, og det er ikke noe mørke i ham. Hvis vi sier at vi har fellesskap med ham, og gå i mørket, vi lyver, og ikke sannheten: Men hvis vi går i lyset, som Han er i lyset, vi har fellesskap med hverandre, og Jesu Kristi, hans Sønns blod renser oss fra all synd (1 John 1:5-7)
Hva skal vi si da? Skal vi fortsette i synd, Den nåden kan florere? Gud forby. Hvordan skal vi, som er døde for å synde, leve lenger der? Vet ikke, at så mange av oss som ble døpt inn i Jesus Kristus ble døpt inn i hans død? Derfor blir vi begravet med ham ved dåp til død: Det som Kristus ble oppvokst fra de døde av Faderens ære, Likevel bør vi også vandre i livet i livet.
For hvis vi er blitt plantet sammen i likhet med hans død, Vi skal også være i likhet med hans oppstandelse: Å vite dette, at vår gamle mann er korsfestet med ham, at syndens kropp kan bli ødelagt, at vi fremover ikke skal tjene synd. For den som er død er frigjort fra synd (romerne 6:1-7)
If you are convicted of your sins and repent and become born again in Christ, then from that moment you have been made righteous and no longer belong to the devil and the world, but you belong to God and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Du er ikke lenger en synder, who is blinded in his mind and lives in the lie in darkness in bondage to sin and death, but through the power of the blood of Christ and the death of the flesh and resurrection of the spirit, you have been made righteous and have become a saint, who is enlightened in his mind and lives in the truth in the Light in the freedom of the Spirit and the Life and reigns over sin and death.
Hva skjedde i det åndelige riket, namely the justification of man and the reconciliation between man and God, shall become visible in the natural realm, through the immediate change in the life of the person and by å sette av den gamle mannen og Sette på den nye mannen.
Helliggjørelsesprosessen
Mine små barn, these things write I unto you, at dere ikke synder. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, hvis vi holder hans bud. Han som sier, Jeg kjenner Ham, and keeps not His commandments, er en løgner, og sannheten er ikke i ham. Men den som holder hans ord, i ham er sannelig Guds kjærlighet fullkommen: herved vet vi at vi er i ham. He that saith he abides in Him ought himself also so to walk, selv mens han gikk (1 John 2:1-6).
Men nå frigjort fra synd, og bli Guds tjenere, dere har deres frukt til hellighet, og slutten evig liv. For syndens lønn er døden; men Guds gave er evig liv ved Jesus Kristus, vår Herre (romerne 6:22-23)
During the process of sanctification and spiritual maturity, when you grow up into the image of Christ and walk as He walked, du kan (unconsciously) make a mistake. But the Holy Spirit shall immediately confront you and correct you, whereby you have the ability to ask forgiveness and repent
This doesn’t mean that you consciously keep making mistakes and use the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ as a permit for the flesh to live a lascivious life and give yourself to idolatry and (seksuell) uncleanness and the lusts of the flesh.
Because if you want to live a lascivious life and love the things you do and want to persevere in sin and don’t want to yield to Jesus Christ; Ordet og holde hans bud, then you are not born again in Christ and don’t have the Spirit of God dwelling in you and don’t walk in the love of God, but you have the spirit of the world and walk in the love of man and the world (Åh. romerne 6:1-7, 1 John 3:6-10).
A sinner or a saint
For som ved én manns ulydighet ble mange gjort til syndere, så ved éns lydighet skal mange bli rettferdige (romerne 5:19)
You are born as a sinner and if you are not born again in Christ, you are still a sinner and live separated from God and belongs to the world, and sin and death still reign in your life.
But if you are born again in Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells in you, then you are no longer a sinner, but you have been made righteous in Jesus Christ through His blood and have become the righteousness of God; en helgen, who is devoted to God.
Er du fortsatt en synder? If you say that you are a sinner, En sønn av djevelen, who has the nature of the devil and live outside the will of God and don’t belong to Him, then it’s time to repent, so that you will be made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and become a new creation through regeneration and be reconciled with God and receive Gods nature and walk as a son of God after the Spirit in His will and inherit eternal life
Because a sinner is not saved and as long as the mindset in the church will be that man is a sinner and will always remain a sinner, people shall live as sinners and walk after the flesh and persevere in sin and live in rebellion against God.
