The armor is of light in Romans 13:12 is meant for Christians. Fiecare creștin, care se naște din nou în Hristos, 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. Prin urmare, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, Mergeți în întuneric, 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, natură, and kingdom, 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
Noaptea este mult petrecută, ziua este aproape: să lepădăm deci lucrările întunericului, and let us put on the armor of light. Lasă -ne să mergem sincer, ca în zi; Nu în revoltă și beție, Nu în cameră și dorință, nu în lupte și invidie. Dar îmbrăcați-vă în Domnul Isus Hristos, și nu faceți provizii pentru carne, to fulfill the lusts (romani 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. Prin urmare, este timpul, that all the Christians, care spun că cred, 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.
Peste tot în jurul nostru, 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, nelegăisire, and the lukewarm state of people, care pretind că sunt creştini.
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.
Prin urmare, it’s time that those, care spun că cred, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; cuvantul, and are sons of God (acest lucru se aplică atât bărbaților, cât și femeilor), who don’t belong to the darkness (lumea) Mai, but the Light.
Păcatul să nu mai domnească ca rege în viața ta
Nu păcătuiește, prin urmare, să domnească în corpul tău muritor, că ar trebui să -l asculți în poftele acestora. Nici nu cedezi membrii tăi ca instrumente de nedreptate păcatului: dar cedează -ți lui Dumnezeu, Ca cei care sunt vii de morți, iar membrii tăi ca instrumente de dreptate pentru Dumnezeu (romani 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.
Prin urmare, popor, 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 în viețile lor.
Dar Biblia (Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu) 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.
Și să nu aibă părtășie cu lucrările neroditoare ale întunericului, ci mai degrabă mustrați-i. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light (Efeseni 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 Lăsați-l pe bătrân. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
Mortifică, prin urmare, membrii tăi care sunt pe pământ; curvie, necurăţie, afecțiune nedumerită, Concupiscența malefică, și râvnitate, care este idolatrie: Pentru care lucruri’ pentru că mânia lui Dumnezeu vine asupra copiilor neascultării: În care ați umblat și voi ceva timp, când ați trăit în ele. Dar acum amânați și voi toate acestea; furie, mânie, răutate, blasfemie, comunicare murdară din gură. Nu minți unul la altul, văzând că v-aţi lepădat pe bătrân cu faptele lui; Și am pus pe noul om, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (Coloseni 3:5-10)
Acum lucrările cărnii sunt vădite, care sunt acestea; Adulter, curvie, necurăţie, lascivie, Idolatrie, vrăjitorie, ură, varianţă, emulații, mânie, ceartă, sediții, erezii, Invidii, crime, beţie, distracţii, si asemenea: despre care vă spun mai înainte, după cum v-am spus și eu în trecut, ca cei ce fac asemenea lucruri să nu moștenească împărăția lui Dumnezeu(Galateni 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; lucrările întunericului.
După Isus Hristos, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, was baptized in water by Ioan Botezătorul and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness.
În pustie, Isus a fost tempted by the devil for forty days. 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.
Și la fel ca Isus, 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, care duc la păcat.
And that’s only possible if you iubeste pe Dumnezeu din toată inima, suflet, minte, și putere,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, la fel ca Isus, Who loved His Father with all His heart, suflet, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
Care este voința lui Dumnezeu?
Căci aceasta este voia lui Dumnezeu, Chiar și sfințirea ta, ca să vă abțineți de la curvie: Pentru ca fiecare dintre voi să știe să stăpânească vasul său în sfințire și cinste; Nu în pofta concupiscenței, la fel ca neamurile care nu-L cunosc pe Dumnezeu: Că nimeni să nu treacă dincolo și să-și înșele fratele în vreo problemă: pentru că Domnul este răzbunătorul tuturor acestor lucruri, după cum și noi v-am prevenit și am mărturisit. Căci Dumnezeu nu ne-a chemat la necurăție, ci spre sfinţenie. Deci, cel care dispreţuieşte, nu disprețuiește omul, Dar Dumnezeu, care ne-a dat şi nouă Duhul Său Sfânt (1 Tesaloniceni 4:3-8)
Și voi pune Duhul Meu în voi, și să te facă să umbli în poruncile Mele, și veți păzi judecățile Mele, și fă-le (Ezechiel 36:27)
Și să nu fii conform cu această lume: dar fiți transformați prin înnoirea minții voastre, ca să puteți dovedi ce este acela bun, și acceptabil, si perfect, voia lui Dumnezeu (romani 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. in orice caz, 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 reînnoiește -și mintea cu Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu. Astfel încât, 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. Prin ascultarea lor de Dumnezeu, ei umbla indragostit 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 (cel botezul în apă și botezul cu Duhul Sfânt).
Prin urmare, fraţi, Suntem debitori, nu la carne, a trăi după carne. Căci dacă trăiți după trup, da va muri: dar dacă, prin Duhul, stricaţi faptele trupului, veţi trăi Căci toţi cei călăuziţi de Duhul lui Dumnezeu, ei sunt fiii lui Dumnezeu. Căci nu aţi primit duhul robiei din nou la frică; dar voi aţi primit Duhul înfierii, prin care plângem, Abba, Tată (romani 8:12-15)
During the process of Sfinţirea, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, care are firea diavolului, 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) Spiritul, 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, și vrea să mintă, rebel, desfrânat, a comite adulter, divorț, ceas Porno, 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 (Est) filozofii, vrăjitorie, divinaţie, Consultați spiritele, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, fura, ură, ucide, fi neiertător towards others, recompense evil for evil, etc.
Because according to the Bible, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; păcătosul. 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.
Toata lumea, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
Căci toți sunteți copii ai lui Dumnezeu prin credința în Hristos Isus. Căci toți dintre voi, care ați fost botezați în Hristos, v-ați îmbrăcat cu Hristos (Galateni 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. Prin urmare, the spiritual transformation of the om batran into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
Omul nou, 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, suflet, 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, adulter, curvie, minciună, fura, ucide, 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 (Matei 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, suflet, minte, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, vei putea:
- 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.
„Fii sarea pământului”
