Apesar do fato de, que a Bíblia é o livro mais vendido e ‘lido’ do mundo, a Bíblia também é o livro mais polêmico e atacado do mundo. Many countries are afraid of the Bible and have forbidden Bibles. Isto não é surpreendente, since the Bible is the only Book in the world, wherein God reveals Himself and the truth through His words. The Bible is so powerful that it divides soul and spirit and changes lives. But is the Bible still considered the true and eternal Word of God? Do Christians spend time in the Bible and is the Bible the highest authority in their lives? Is the Bible still compelling and relevant to Christians or do the hearts of Christians go out to other books and is the Bible faded into the background or even completely disappeared from their lives?
The sons of God spent time in the Bible
Assim que uma pessoa nasce de novo, which means that the flesh dies and the spirit is raised from the dead in Christ, and the person becomes a new creation, the person shall long to spend time in the Bible and search the Scriptures and feed themselves with the words of God. Because the Holy Spirit, Quem permanece na nova criação, draws the new creation to the Word of God and desires to be in unity with Jesus Christ; a palavra, e o Pai.
Vendo você purificou suas almas em obedecer à verdade através do Espírito para o amor não feita dos irmãos, Veja que vocês se amam com um coração puro fervorosamente: Nascer de novo, não de semente corruptível, mas de incorruptível, Pela palavra de Deus, que vive e abidem para sempre (1 Peter 1:22-23)
Assim como Jesus, o Filho de Deus, withdrew Himself to spend time with the Father, aqueles, who are born of God and belong to Him shall also withdraw themselves to spend time with Jesus Christ and the Father in the Word and in prayer. (Leia também: A vida de oração secreta do crente).
E por meio disso sabemos que O conhecemos, se guardarmos Seus mandamentos. Aquele que diz, Eu o conheço, e não guarda os seus mandamentos, é um mentiroso, e a verdade não está nele. Mas quem guarda a sua palavra, nele, verdadeiramente, está o amor de Deus aperfeiçoado: Nisto sabemos que estamos Nele. Aquele que diz que permanece Nele, também deve andar assim, mesmo enquanto Ele caminhava (1 John 2:3-6)
The Bible is the Word of God and contains the truth. Através da Bíblia, você conhece o Real Jesus Cristo and the will of God and His Kingdom.
The more time you spend in the Bible, the better you shall get to know God and His will. And by believing, obeying, e fazendo as palavras de Deus, you shall walk as Jesus Christ in the will of God.
The Bible should be the highest authority in the lives of Christians
The Bible is the power of God and should be the highest authority in the lives of every born-again Christian, que se tornou filho de Deus (tanto masculino quanto feminino). Infelizmente, this is not always the case.
Many Christians don’t consider the words of God as credible, compelling, and relevant, but as outdated, dusty, and old-fashioned that don’t fit in today’s society. Como resultado, God’s words are no longer believed, obedeceu, and applied, but adjusted, mudado, and/or rejected.
E ele (Jesus) respondeu e disse-lhes, My mother and My brethren are these which hear the word of God, e faça isso (Lucas 8:21)
But He (Jesus) disse, Sim, em vez disso, bem-aventurados os que ouvem a palavra de Deus, e mantê-lo (Lucas 11:28)
The deception of the devil
The prince and ruler of this world (o diabo) doesn’t want people to find out the truth and discover his lies in which many people live. Portanto, the devil adjusts and corrupts the words of God very subtle through modern Bible translations and false teachings of man.
He keeps the people away from the truth and the Kingdom of God by keeping them away from the Bible; a palavra de Deus.
He tempts, seduces, e entertains people with the things of this world and claim their time.
True born again Christians, who walk after the Spirit shall spend time in the Word and consider the Bible as the truth. Para eles, the Bible is compelling and relevant and the highest authority in their lives.
No entanto, as pessoas, que não nasceram de novo e não têm o Espírito de Deus habitando neles, but the spirit of the world, shall not long to be with Jesus and the Father and spend time in the light of the Word. They rather spend time in the light of the world aka the light of their phone, televisão, (jogos)computador, etc..
A Bíblia ainda é convincente e relevante para os cristãos??
Many Christians don’t consider the Bible a compelling spiritual Book, which contains the life of God and reveals the will of God and is relevant and needed for the spiritual man to grow up into a mature son of God and to stand against all the temptations and wiles of the devil.
They don’t consider the Bible as the Sword of the Spirit and don’t know how the handle the Sword of the Spirit in the ongoing spiritual battle.
Em vez de, they walk in pride by thinking, that they know the Bible after reading the Bible so many times.
For the Word of God is quick, e poderoso, e mais afiado que qualquer espada de dois gumes, penetrando até a divisão da alma e do espírito, e das articulações e medula, e é um discernidor dos pensamentos e intenções do coração (Hebreus 4:12)
But Jesus answered and said, Está escrito, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Mateus 4:4)
But as long as someone doesn’t walk and lives as a mature son of God in the will of God, as Jesus walked in the will of the Father, someone doesn’t know the Bible completely
Head knowledge puffs up
You can have a lot of head knowledge of the Bible, but head knowledge doesn’t do anything with a person, except that it puffs up a person and exalt himself above others.
You don’t enter the Kingdom of God by having head knowledge of the Bible, even though many people think they do. But that’s because, despite their head knowledge, they don’t know the Word experientially nor have the Word abiding in their heart.
And so many Christians are misled and lead defeated lives and are controlled by the spirit of the world. They rather feed themselves with the knowledge and wisdom of the world and listen to what ‘learned’ people have to say and consider their words as the truth and walk by faith according to their words.
What is the difference between believers and unbelievers?
Quase não há diferença entre crentes e incrédulos. That’s because many Christians believe the words of the world above the words of God. The words of the world that correspond with the carnal mind and will of the flesh, are the highest authority in their lives.
Seus pensamentos, maneira de pensar, palavras, and opinions hardly differ from each other. The only difference is that believers say they believe that God exists and believe in Jesus Christ and the unbelievers don’t. But their walk, palavras, works and life are many times identical, since they walk after the flesh and are led by the same spirit that reigns in the flesh. (Leia também: Se os cristãos viverem como o mundo, do que o mundo deve se arrepender?).
Most Christians are carnal and are led by the spirit of the world, Assim como os incrédulos. They walk after the flesh and are led by their feelings and what happens in the natural realm. They are dependent upon situations, the surrounding, e pessoas, assim como o mundo. Their outside world determines how they feel and determines their state. Resumidamente, their lives and well-being depend upon external factors in the natural realm.
They follow the same path as the world and read all kinds of books, written by man, em vez da Bíblia. They engage in various teachings, métodos, and technics that often derive from filosofias do homem and pagan religions that are popular in the world, whereby the carnal man is strengthened and the spiritual man weakens. Through all this carnal knowledge they defile themselves and enter sideways, which eventually leads to the abyss.
The devil wants to keep you ignorant
Satã, quem é o governante do mundo, shall do anything to keep the people away from the Bible and eliminate the Bible from people’s lives. All because the devil knows the power of the Bible.
Without the Bible and the renewing of the mind with the Word of God, people shall never get to know the will of God and never find out the Truth, and never walk by faith in the will of God. E é exatamente isso que o diabo quer.
Então a fé vem pelo ouvir, e ouvindo pela Palavra de Deus
Romanos 10:17
