Када се поново родите у Христу, постали сте праведни. Библија каже, God had made Jesus, који није знао за грех, да за нас буде грех, који није знао за грех, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Коринћанима 5:20-21). Више нисте син ђавола, грешник, али си постао син Божији, светац. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Праведник ходи у правди
И сада, мала деца, пребивај у Њему; то, када ће се Он појавити, можда имамо поверења, и не стиди се пред Њим при Његовом доласку. Ако знаш да је Он праведан, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 Јохн 2:28-29)
А Рођен-опет Цхристиан is born of God and has become a son of God (ово важи и за мушкарце и за жене).
Када се поново родите, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(имајте на уму: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, по Његовом делу; Његову жртву и Његову крв. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Kada hodate posle Duha, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Ако Ме волиш, чувај заповести Моје
Исус је рекао: "Ако Ме волиш, чувај заповести Моје” (Јохн 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 или 3 сати недељно, али 24 сати дневно, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Његов начин) and stay obedient to Him.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, у Њему ћеш остати, и заповести Његове држи, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Божја реч), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
Када ти, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
