In the modern gospel, many Scriptures are taken out of context and adjusted to the will and the lusts and desires of the flesh, so that the carnal man doesn’t have to change, but can stay the way (s)he is and live the way (s)el quiere, and persevere in sin without feeling guilty and without any consequences. La voluntad de Dios, which has been made known through the Scriptures, especially the moral part of the law, is rejected and everything that God has disapproved and condemned in the Bible is considered outdated, legalistic, and no longer applies today. People say that sin has been made of no effect and that sin has no consequences, since we no longer live under the law but under grace. But did sin come by the law and does sin no longer exist and have no consequences, because Christ has freed us from the law? Or did sin already exist before the law and does sin still exist and still have consequences, despite the redemption in Christ from the law?
The Creator of heaven and earth
La hierba se seca, la flor se marchita: pero la palabra de nuestro Dios permanecerá para siempre. (Isaías 40:8)
God is the Creator del cielo y de la tierra y de todo lo que hay dentro. God is the Almighty, the Eternal, and His will and His words stand forever and shall always apply in the heavens and on earth. No matter what people say and do, people are not able to change the will of God and His Word (Oh. salmos 33:11, 1 Pedro 1:25).
The devil can blind the carnal people and tempt them with his lies, which looks like the words of God, but slightly deviate, and make the people believe that God is a modern God, Who moves with the times and because of that adjust His will to the times, but the born again believers, who walk after the Spirit and know the Word and the Father shall not be blinded and be misled but shall know that the will of God shall never change but shall stand forever.
They know the Word and they know that eventually, His Word shall judge everyone according to his or her works. No one is excluded from the judgment of God (Revelación 20:12 (Leer también: ‘The Word has the final word on the Day of Judgment').
God made His will known to mankind
From the creation, God made His will known to mankind. Man was perfectly created in the image of God and didn’t have a sin nature, but man had a free will. This free will of mankind chose to rebel against the words of God and to leave the only commandment of God.
Man believed and obeyed the creation instead of the Creator and bowed before the creation and put the creation above the Creator, causing mankind to come under the authority of the creation; el diablo.
Desde ese momento, because of Adam’s sin, sin entered the whole human race and death reigned in man.
But although the spirit of man died, and sin and death reigned in the flesh of man, man had a conscience of good and evil and a free will to chose between good and evil (Génesis 3:22).
Sin already existed before the law
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law (romanos 5:13)
Man could choose to walk in righteousness and do good or to walk in iniquity and sin and do evil (Leer también: ‘What is sin?').
Sin did not come through the law of sin and death, because sin already existed before the law of sin and death, since the law of God already existed before the foundation of the heaven and the earth.
Before the law existed, Cain brought a curse over his life, through his disobedience to the words of God and his evil act.
The flood and the destruction of Sodom, and Gomorrah and the cities around, happened before the law of sin and death existed, because of the evil and disobedience of the people to God.
Sin, which is rebellion of man against God and disobedience to God, already existed before the law and the punishment of sin, que es la muerte, also existed before the law. Through disobedience to God, the people brought mischief upon their lives (Leer también: ‘Las travesuras que la gente se trae a sí misma').
God made sin known by the law
¿Qué diremos entonces?? Is the law sin? Dios no lo quiera. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet (romanos 7:7)
Sin didn’t come by the law, but sin already existed before the law. And death also reigned before the law. God’s will was already known before the law, since man had a conscience; a knowledge of good and evil. Therefore before the law came into existence, man had the ability to choose to do good or to do evil.
The only thing that God has done, is that by giving the law of sin and death to His carnal people, que nacieron de la simiente de Jacob (Israel), Dios dio a conocer su voluntad a su pueblo carnal.
The law has been added and by giving the law, God showed His nature and His righteousness and revealed sin (romanos 3:20).
Por eso, God’s people knew the will of God and knew exactly what God liked and what God disliked and they were aware of the consequences.
God didn’t give the law as a punishment, but God gave the law out of love for His people and as a schoolteacher, to guide His people until the coming of Jesus Christ, so that His people would walk in His will and sus caminos.
Y esos, who belonged to God’s carnal people could show God their love through their obedience to the words of the law of sin and death (Leer también: 'The secret of the law’).
Does the law still apply today?
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin (romanos 7:24-25)
There is often a lack of clarity about the law of sin and death and whether this law still applies. The law of sin and death was meant for God’s carnal people, in whom sin and death reigned in the flesh. Como está escrito antes, the law was a schoolteacher for the flesh until the venida de Jesucristo, who redeemed fallen man from the power of sin and death by the redemption of the flesh and restored the state of fallen man by the resurrection of the spirit from the dead.
The only way to be redeemed from the law of sin and death is through faith in Jesus Christ and the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead (Leer también: ‘¿Qué significa la circuncisión en Cristo??).
Por tanto, ahora ninguna condenación hay para los que están en Cristo Jesús., que no andan según la carne, pero según el Espíritu. Porque la ley del Espíritu de vida en Cristo Jesús me ha librado de la ley del pecado y de la muerte. (romanos 8:1-2)
A través de la regeneración, la ley del pecado y la muerte, which reigns in the flesh’, no longer applies, since the flesh is death.
Through the crucifixion of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the death and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the law of sin and death no longer reigns in the life of the new man, but the law of the Spirit reigns in the life of the new man, which is written in the new heart of the new man. Death no longer reigns through the flesh, but life reigns through the Spirit (Leer también: ‘¿Por qué Dios escribió su ley en tablas de piedra??‘ And ‘Qué pasó 50 days after Pascha?')
The new man loves God above all and everyone
el nuevo hombre, in whom the law of the Spirit reigns, walks by faith after the will of God and loves God above all and everyone and fears God and submits himself or herself to God. From that love, the new man loves his or her neighbor as him or herself.
Esto significa, entre otros, eso (s)he shall serve no other gods and shall not allow other gods in his or her life and shall not follow human filosofías, theories and falsas doctrinas and strange religions and not get involved in the occult realm and connect himself or herself with death (Leer también: ‘Las dos formas de entrar en el reino espiritual.‘ y 'What does the Word say about tattoos?')
Significa, eso (s)he shall honor his or her parents and shall not mentir against his or her neighbor and shall not covet his or her possessions. (S)he shall not commit fornication, adulterio, not be intimate with someone, who isn’t his or her spouse, not be intimate with someone of the same gender, no divorcio, matar, robar, maldición, use the Name of God in vain, etcétera.
Because these are all works of the flesh, in which sin and death reigns. The works of the flesh go against the will of God and don’t produce life, but death.
As long as people persevere in sin and refuse to repent and put off the works of the flesh, death shall reign through sin.
If the law derived from God’s nature and represents God’s will and His nature, then the new man, who is born of God and has God’s nature shall do the will of God and establish the law, al igual que Jesús (Leer también: ‘How do you establish the law?’)
Sin still exists
¿Luego por la fe invalidamos la ley?? Dios no lo quiera: sí, establecemos la ley (romanos 3:31)
Sin already existed before the law and sin still exists, despite the grace of God and freedom from the law through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Gente, who live in the New Covenant still have the ability to obey God’s Word and walk in righteousness or to disobey God’s Word and walk in iniquity.
Aquellos, who say that sin no longer exists, because you have been made free from the law and that it doesn’t matter how you life, are liars and don’t speak the truth. Because to God, it does matter how you live (Leer también: ‘Una vez guardado siempre salvo?).
Aquellos, who say these things don’t have the Spirit of God and don’t belong to Him. They don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the Father and don’t know the will of God.
They are not familiar with the things of the Kingdom of God, but they are unspiritual and blinded by the lies of the devil.
God has given everyone the ability to be redeemed from the power of sin and death, through Jesus Christ and His redemptive work.
He has given power to everyone, to become a son of God, by faith in Jesus Christ and regeneración en él, and to walk after the Spirit, and by the Spirit put off the works of the flesh (John 1:12-13).
The blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin and redeems man from the power of sin and death
¿Qué diremos entonces?? ¿Seguiremos en pecado?, que la gracia abunde? Dios no lo quiera. ¿Cómo vamos a, que están muertos al pecado, vivir más allí? ¿No lo sabéis?, que muchos de nosotros que fuimos bautizados en Jesucristo fuimos bautizados en Su muerte? Por lo tanto somos sepultados juntamente con Él por el bautismo para muerte.: que así como Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos por la gloria del Padre, Así también nosotros debemos caminar en novedad de vida. (romanos 6:1-4)
Every day, everyone makes a choice to live in obediencia a dios and His Word or not. The blood of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work doesn’t change that. The blood of Jesus is not a permit to persevere in sin and keep doing those things, which go against the will of God and are an abomination to God.
Entonces que? ¿Pecaremos?, porque no estamos bajo la ley, pero bajo gracia? Dios no lo quiera. ¿No lo sabéis?, aquel a quien os entregáis sirvientes para obedecer, sus siervos sois vosotros a quienes obedecéis; ya sea de pecado de muerte, o de obediencia a la justicia? Pero gracias a Dios, que erais siervos del pecado, sino que habéis obedecido de corazón aquella forma de doctrina que os fue entregada. Ser entonces liberado del pecado, os convertisteis en siervos de la justicia (romanos 6:15-18)
When someone perseveres in sin and is not willing to repent, it proves that the sin nature still reigns in that person’s life and the person still loves the works of the flesh (pecado).
The person is not born again, but is still the old creation, who walks after the flesh and lives as a esclavo del pecado and death and belongs to the devil and the world.
God’s will shall never change and shall never adapt to the times we live in, nor to the lusts and desires of the flesh of mankind (Leer también: ‘Shall God change His will to the lusts and desires of man?').
God is the same and remains the same from eternity to eternity and therefore His will remains the same. It’s up to the people, to submit to God and obey His words and live after His will or not.
