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 (科学的) proofs, 理论, 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 (另请阅读: a reprobate mind delights in sin and takes pleasure in those, who practice sin 和 ‘God rejected from many churches’).
The old man vs the new man
看哪, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not (1 约翰 3:1)
一切, 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 (另请阅读: ‘上帝用六天时间创造了天地? 或者…').
Man walked with God, but because of the fall of man, the spirit of man died and man became separated from God. 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. 正因为如此, the old man lives from the flesh according to the natural (科学的) theories and laws and makes use of natural means, 方法, 原则, ETC.
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 (恩膏) as son of God from the Word after the Spirit and calls those things which are not as though they were (另请阅读: ‘渡过难关的两种方法').
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; the living Word.
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, 神已差遣他儿子的灵进入你们的心, 哭, 阿爸, 父亲. (加拉太书 4:4-6)
Through the coming, dying and resurrection of Jesus Christ; 这个单词, 这 New Covenant came into existence, which is sealed with His blood (赫布 12:24).
Through regeneration in Jesus Christ the new man is created. 新人不再是旧人. Therefore the new man is 不再是罪人, but the new man has become righteous and holy in Jesus Christ (哦. 只读存储器 3:25; 5:9, 19; 弗 1:7; 上校 1:14; 1 乔 3:7 (另请阅读: ‘你是否永远都是罪人?').
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.
神的儿子们遵行神话语的真理
所以, 弟兄们, 我们是债务人, 不至于肉体, 随从肉体而活. 因为如果你们顺从肉体而活, ye shall die: 但你们若靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行, 你们会活下去. 因为凡是被神的灵引导的人, 他们是神的儿子 (只读存储器 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.
所以, 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, which leads to eternal life.
当你是 重生 and you believe in God, you will believe in His Word and you shall do what the Word says (另请阅读: ‘听者与行者').
If you obey the Word, 你会 obey God and through your obedience, you shall show Him that you 爱他.
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 在这个地球上 .
