The difference between the sons of God and the sons of the devil, is that the sons of God walk in the truth of God’s Word and the sons of the devil walk in the truth of the world. Since the kingdom of darkness; the kingdom of the world, diametrically opposes the Kingdom of God, the words of the kingdom of the world diametrically oppose the words of the Kingdom of God. Therefore the world shall speak against every word of God and shall cast down and destroy everything that derives from the Kingdom of God. People may come with all kinds of (scientific) proofs, mga teorya, and doctrines, but if these go against God’s Word and ensure that people leave the words of God and therefore leave the way of God, then man should reject these words, because they are lies. If you don’t reject these lies, but believe these lies above the truth of God, then God shall reject you, because you have rejected Him (Basahin din: a reprobate mind delights in sin and takes pleasure in those, who practice sin at ‘Tinanggihan ng Diyos mula sa maraming simbahan’).
The old man vs the new man
Masdan, anong uri ng pag-ibig ang ipinagkaloob sa atin ng Ama, upang tayo ay tawaging mga anak ng Diyos: kaya nga hindi tayo nakikilala ng mundo, sapagkat hindi Siya nito nakilala (1 John 3:1)
Everything, we see around us has its existence in God and is created through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. The whole creation derives from the spiritual realm instead of the natural realm (Basahin din: ‘Nilikha ba ng Diyos ang langit at ang lupa sa loob ng anim na araw? o…').
Man walked with God, but because of the fall of man, ang espiritu ng tao ay namatay at ang tao ay nahiwalay sa Diyos. Man became carnal and sense ruled.
Therefore the difference between the old man and the new man is that the old man is carnal and the new man is spiritual.
The old man is born of the seed of man and is carnal and sense ruled.
The old man has a carnal mind and lives according to the principle, that every natural effect has a natural cause. Dahil dun, the old man lives from the flesh according to the natural (scientific) theories and laws and makes use of natural means, paraan, principles, atbp.
The new man is born in Jesus Christ of the Seed of God. The spirit is raised from the death and therefore the new man is spiritual.
The new man has the mind of Christ and lives according to the principle that every natural effect has a spiritual cause. Therefore the new man lives and acts from his position (anointing) as son of God from the Word after the Spirit and calls those things which are not as though they were (Basahin din: ‘The two ways to go through a storm').
The spiritual realm revealed in the Old Covenant
God has revealed the spiritual realm and His Kingdom to mankind through His Word. In the Old Covenant God has revealed the spiritual realm to His people by giving them the law and by His words, which He spoke through the mouths of the prophets and by the coming of Jesus Christ; ang buhay na Salita.
The spiritual realm revealed in the New Covenant
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, umiiyak, Abba, Ama. (Mga taga-Galacia 4:4-6)
Through the coming, dying and resurrection of Jesus Christ; ang salita, ang New Covenant came into existence, which is sealed with His blood (Heb 12:24).
Through regeneration in Jesus Christ the new man is created. The new man is no longer the old man. Therefore the new man is hindi na makasalanan, but the new man has become righteous and holy in Jesus Christ (Oh. ROM 3:25; 5:9, 19; Eph 1:7; Sinabi ni Col 1:14; 1 Jo 3:7 (Basahin din: ‘Nananatili ka bang makasalanan palagi?').
The Holy Spirit abides in the new man and therefore the will of God is in the mind of the new man and written upon the heart of the new man, so that the new man walks in the Word after the Spirit after God’s wil.
The sons of God walk in the truth of God’s Word
Samakatuwid, mga kapatid, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Sapagka't kung kayo'y namumuhay ayon sa laman, oo mamamatay: ngunit kung inyong pinapatay sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ang mga gawa ng katawan, mabubuhay kayo. Para sa kasing dami ng pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu ng Diyos, sila ang mga anak ng Diyos (ROM 8:12-14)
God’s Word is the truth and God’s Word shall stand forever. Nothing and nobody can do anything about it. No one can change the truth of God’s Word.
Samakatuwid, every theory, every doctrine and opinion, that goes against the Word of God should be rejected, so that man stays obedient to God and walk on His way; the way of life, na humahantong sa buhay na walang hanggan.
When you are ipinanganak muli and you believe in God, you will believe in His Word and you shall do what the Word says (Basahin din: ‘Ang mga nakikinig laban sa mga gumagawa').
If you obey the Word, gagawin mo obey God and through your obedience, you shall show Him that you mahalin Siya.
Through your faith in Him and His Word and by being a doer of the Word, you shall stay in Him and walk after the Spirit in the truth of God’s Word and therefore you shall walk as the Word in the love of God sa mundong ito .
