Many Christians believe that sin doesn’t matter and that you can live in sin and be saved at the same time. They speak constantly about grace and use the grace of God as a cloak to approve of sin. They believe and say that by faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice and blood, you’ve been made righteous. Therefore it doesn’t matter how you live. You can live the way you want to live. Because the sacrifice and blood of Jesus ensure that you stay saved. But of course, this is a partial truth aka a lie of the devil that many Christians believe. What does the Bible say about living in sin (persevering in sin) jeung kasalametan? Can you live in sin and be saved according to the Bible or not?
What is the false doctrine of the Nicolaitans?
The Nicolaitans were such a group that followed their leader Nicolas and his false doctrine. His false doctrines deceived the Nicolaitans and caused them to deviate from the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ and go astray. The Nicolaitans believed they could keep sinning because they lived under grace and you still live in a sinful flesh.
The Nicolaitans misused the grace of God. So that they didn’t have to die to the flesh and put off the old man and put on the new man. They could do the works of the flesh and live sin, without feeling condemned, thinking they were saved and escaping the punishment for sin, anu maot.
But these Nicolaitians didn’t know Jesus experientially. They had no knowledge of the Bible and didn’t have the Holy Spirit.
Gantina, they followed the words of their leader, who preached this false doctrine; this lie. (Baca ogé: Doktrin sareng karya Nicolaitans).
Although the Nicolaitans were misled and believed this false doctrine and lived by it, because they considered it as the truth, Jesus hated the doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans.
The church at Ephesus hated the works of the Nicolaitans as well, kawas Yesus.
Sanajan kitu, the church at Pergamos (Pergamum), where the throne of satan was, embraced the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Because some of them held the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
Jesus didn’t allow the doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans, because it defiled the church. But Jesus called the church at Pergamos to repentance. If they didn’t repent, Jesus would come unto them quickly and fight against them with the sword of His mouth. (Wahyu 2:6, 15-16 (Baca ogé: What is the throne of satan?)
The devil has deceived many churches with the same lie
We don’t know if the church of Pergamos listened and obeyed the words of Jesus. But we do know that the devil succeeded again, by deceiving many Christians with the same lie and doctrine.
The devil deceived many Christians by making them believe that it doesn’t matter how you live. You can live in sin and be saved. Because you are not saved and justified by your works. But you are saved and justified by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
Deui, this is a partial truth that is preached. Sumuhun, you are indeed saved by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. His blood has cleansed you from all your sins and iniquities and made you holy and righteous. His blood saved you. No one can earn his salvation by his works. Up to here, it’s correct.
But… The blood of Jesus is not a permit to sin. The blood of Jesus doesn’t give you the right to persevere in sin.
The sacrifice and the blood of Jesus are not the same as the sacrifice and the blood of animals. The sacrifice and blood of animals provided a temporary atonement for the sins of the people. But the sacrifice and blood of Jesus don’t provide a temporary atonement but deal with the sinful nature, which reigns in the flesh and from which sin proceeds.
The Old Covenant
Dina perjanjian kolot, which was sealed by the blood of animals, God’s people constantly fell back into the same sin. Because they were still carnal and their spirit was still under the dominion of death.
They were trapped in the (dosa) flesh and the flesh ruled their lives. Therefore they constantly had to make atonement for their sins.
But despite the many sacrifices and blood that was shed, nothing changed in man’s nature. Nothing changed about man’s fallen state and nature. Which is the case in the New Covenant that is sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. (Baca ogé: ‘What is the difference between the sacrifice of animals and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ?').
The New Covenant
Dina perjanjian anyar, it shouldn’t be that people who are saved and belong to God, fall into the same sin over and over again and persevere and live in sin. Because they have been delivered from the power of sin and death, ngaliwatan pupusna daging maranéhanana di Kristus.
This was not the case in the Old Covenant. So if those, who live in the New Covenant keep sinning, it means they’re not delivered from the power of sin and death. (Pikeun. urang Ibrani 9, 1 John 1:5-7))
Dina perjanjian anyar, man has become a new creation through regeneration in Christ, which means the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead. (Baca ogé: ‘The sunat dina Covenant Anyar').
The new man is born of God and transferred from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God, Dimana Yesus Kristus nyaéta raja sareng kakuasaan. (Pikeun. Kolosa 1:13).
Therefore darkness has no more power over the new man.
The flesh no longer reigns, but Christ reigns in the new man. Since the flesh is dead and the spirit is alive.
Only when the flesh has died and the spirit of man is raised from the dead and the new man enters the Kingdom of God and walks after the Spirit according to the law of this Kingdom in the light, man shall be saved.
dulur, who is born of God stays in Him and doesn’t sin
Naon anu urang kedah nyarios teras? Bakal urang terus dina dosa, éta rahmat tiasa abarat? Gusti nyaram. Kumaha carana urang, anu paéh pikeun dosa, hirup deui di dinya? Terang yo henteu, nu jadi loba urang salaku anu dibaptis kana Yesus Kristus anu dibaptis kana pupus-Na? Ku sabab kitu urang dikubur sareng Anjeunna ku baptisan kana maot: éta sapertos salaku Kristus diangkat tina maot ku kamulyaan ku bapak, Sanaos kami ogé kedah leumpang dina kahirupan hirup (Urang Romawi 6:1-4)
Saha waé anu abideth dina anjeunna dosa: Saha waé Sinneth Hatheth henteu ningali anjeunna, Sanes anu henteu kabayang anjeunna. Barudak leutik, hayu euweuh lalaki nipu anjeun: anu ngalakukeun kabeneran nyaéta anu bener, sanajan Anjeunna bener. Sing saha nu ngalakukeun dosa teh ti Iblis; pikeun Iblis dosa ti mimiti. Pikeun tujuan ieu Putra Allah ieu manifested, yén anjeunna tiasa ngancurkeun karya Iblis. Saha waé anu dilahirkeun ku Allah henteu ngalakukeun dosa; pikeun cétana cicing di anjeunna: sarta anjeunna teu bisa dosa, because he is born of God.Dina barudak ieu Gusti, sareng barudak setan: saha waé duka henteu kabiasaan henteu, Sanes anjeunna anu mikanyaah sanés lanceukna (1 John 3:6-10)
A person may repent and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, but if there is no change in the person’s life and the person keeps doing the works of the flesh and darkness and walks in unrighteousness in darkness, then the life of the person shows, that the person has not repented and is not born again in Christ. Since the flesh in which sin reigns and from which sin proceeds, masih hirup. The flesh has not been crucified in Christ.
The new creation yields to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the old creation yields to the devil and the flesh
The person hasn’t become a new creation and hasn’t yielded to Jesus Christ (kecap) and the Holy Spirit and doesn’t do what They say. Tapi jalma masih kénéh ciptana, who belongs to the devil.
Therefore the person lives in disobedience to God and His Word after the will of the flesh in obedience to the will of the devil and sin. The person perseveres in sin or falls back into the same sin over and over again. (Baca ogé: ‘Wasiat dewa vs wills syetan‘ jeung ‘Armor gelap').
The true gospel of Jesus Christ calls to repentance
Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, Jeung nyebutkeun, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel (Tandaan 1:14-15)
Jeung ceuk maranehna, Kituna ditulis, sahingga eta behoved Kristus sangsara, jeung gugah tina maot dina poé katilu: Sareng yén tobat sareng panghampura dosa kedah diuarkeun ku nami-Na di antara sadaya bangsa, dimimitian di Yerusalem. Jeung anjeun saksi hal ieu (Lukas 24:46-48)
Anjeun teu acan nolak getih, narékahan ngalawan dosa. Jeung anjeun geus poho exhortation nu speaks ka anjeun salaku barudak, putra abdi, Ulah nganggap hina kana chastening Gusti, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Lamun anjeun endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Tapi lamun anjeun jadi tanpa chastisement, nu mana kabeh milu, mangka anjeun bangsat, sareng sanés putra.
Saterusna urang geus boga bapa daging urang nu dilereskeun urang, sarta kami masihan aranjeunna reverence: Naha urang moal langkung langkung tunduk ka Bapa roh-roh, tur hirup? Pikeun maranéhanana verily pikeun sababaraha poé chastened kami sanggeus senang maranéhanana sorangan; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Ayeuna euweuh chastening keur kiwari sigana jadi gumbira, tapi pikasediheun: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby (urang Ibrani 12:5-11)
The true gospel calls to repentance and sanctification and disciplines, ngabenerkeun, and chastises. Sanajan kitu, the modern gospel, nu lain injil, doesn’t contain these elements.
The modern gospel embraces sin and keeps people in bondage
The modern gospel is a humanistic gospel (pesen) that pleases the ears, parasaan, and emotions of the people in the church but keeps the people in bondage of sin and death.
This gospel welcomes everyone and everyone may stay the way they are. Everything is allowed and tolerated, euweuh nu salah. God loves everyone, ngan cara aranjeunna. And so sin is embraced instead of condemned and removed.
They believe that you have to respect others and forgive and love others instead of condemning them. Tapi éta leres?
Where is it written in the Bible (after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) that you have to accept sin and tolerate sin in the church? That if you live in sin you are saved?
Where is it written that you must leave those, who persevere in sin alone?
Where is it written that it doesn’t matter if preachers, réncang, and other leaders of the church become disobedient to God and His Word, due to the will, lusts and desires of their flesh and fall in sin and/or persevere in sin? (Baca ogé: 'Sumanget Eli')
This is nowhere written in the Bible! Because sin is rebellion and disobedience to God and His will.
How can people, who don’t walk in the will of God and are disobedient to His Word, teach others to walk in the will of God and to be obedient to the Word, so that they will grow up into the image of Christ?
The new creation fulfills the righteousness of the law
Jalma, who sin and live in sin and refuse to repent of their lifestyle, show by their works that they don’t belong to Christ and are not saved. They still belong to the devil and aren’t the servants of righteousness but the servants of sin. They are carnal and still listen to the devil and do his will and serve the devil through their flesh. (Baca ogé: 'The commandments of God vs the commandments of the devil').
God has given His commandments to make His will and His nature and righteousness known and to reveal sin. Jesus has never annulled the commandments of the law. But Jesus fulfilled them by walking after the Spirit in the will of the Father in righteousness. Jelema-jelema, who belong to Jesus walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh and fulfill the righteousness of the law. (Pikeun. Mateus 5:17-18, Urang Romawi 3:31; 8:4 (Baca ogé: 'Naha manusa tiasa ngalaksanakeun hukum?').
“Whosoever does not bear his cross and come after Me can’t be My disciple”
Yesus ngajawab aranjeunna, Sabenerna, saleresna, Abdi nyarios ka anjeun, Awak Sakit Dosa mangrupikeun Hamba (John 8:34)
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, jeung ceuk maranehna, If any man come to me, jeung teu hate bapana, jeung indung, jeung pamajikan, jeung barudak, jeung dulur-dulur, jeung sadulur, enya, jeung hirupna sorangan oge, anjeunna teu tiasa janten murid Kami. Jeung sakur anu teu nanggung salib-Na, sarta datang sanggeus Kami, moal bisa jadi murid Kami (Lukas 14:25-27)
Teras saur Yesus kana murid-muridna, Lamun aya lalaki bakal datang sanggeus kuring, Hayu anjeunna mungkir dirina, sareng nyandak salib na, jeung nuturkeun kuring. Pikeun whosoever bakal nyalametkeun hirupna bakal leungit: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it (Mateus 16:24-25, ogé Mark 8:34-35, Lukas 9:23-24)
Jesus never spoke about accepting people with a sinful lifestyle. He didn’t preach that sinners could live in sin and stay the way they were and be saved.
Jesus was not a Promotor dosa! He didn’t speak about respecting and tolerating sin.
Sabalikna, ceuk Yesus, He hated sin and called the sinners to repentance. Sabab dulur, who commits sin is a servant of sin and is not saved.
ceuk Yesus, that if anyone still loves his own life, and doesn’t deny himself, and doesn’t put Jesus above all, the person can’t be Jesus’ disciple.
ceuk Yesus, that if anyone wants to come to Him and follow Him, he must deny himself and take up his cross.
Because if you don’t lose your own life in this world, you shall not find life.
Many churches tolerate sin from both church members as church leaders
Dina Kitab Wahyu, Jesus didn’t say to the various churches, He respected their behavior and the doctrines and works of the darkness.
Jesus didn’t embrace sin, since sin is the will of the devil. But Jesus commanded the churches to remove the sin. If they didn’t, they would reap the consequences of their disobedience.
Aya seueur gereja ayeuna, where everything is tolerated. They not only tolerate everything from the members of the church, who say they are saved but live in sin and keep sinning. But they also tolerate everything from the preachers and leaders of the church, who are carnal and keep doing the works of the flesh.
Bohong, kasipan, panipuan, nyembah berhala (i.e. Filosofies wétan, yoga, puji, semedi, seni beladiri, deui, akupungtur), elmu sihir, Benteng-nyarios, cabul, berzina, extramarital affairs, cerai, hirup babarengan jomblo, sexual relationships outside of marriage, puntitan, homoseksualitas, and all other (séksual) najis, aborsi, uthanasia, abusive drinking, jsb. This has all become very normal and is not considered a sin anymore.
The conscience of many Christians is seared with a hot iron and they don’t even know it. They are blinded by the lies of darkness and allow everything.
Nyaho ye teu yen unrighteous moal inherit Karajaan Allah? Ulah katipu: boh cabul, atawa musyrik, atawa zinah, atawa banci, atawa abusers sorangan kalawan umat manusa, Atawa maling, atawa covetous, atawa mabok, atawa revilers, atawa extortioners, bakal inherit Karajaan Allah(1 urang Korinta 6:9-10)
“Leumpang dina sumanget, sareng ye moal ngatasi hawa nafsu daging”
Ieu kuring nyarios, Leumpang dina sumanget, sareng ye moal ngatasi hawa nafsu daging. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, sareng sumanget ngalawan daging: sareng ieu sabalikna hiji ka anu sanés: Janten éta henteu tiasa ngalakukeun hal anu anjeun bakal. Tapi upami anjeun janten sumanget, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, anu ieu; Berzina, cabul, najis, lasciviousness, Nyembah berhala, elmu sihir, hatena, varian, émulasi, amarah, pasea, hasutan, bid'ah, Alumeun, rajapati, mabok, revellings, sareng sapertos sapertos: tina anu kuring nyarioskeun ka anjeun sateuacan, Sakumaha kuring ogé parantos nyarios dina waktos baheula, yén aranjeunna anu ngalakukeun hal sapertos henteu kéngingkeun karajaan dewa (Galata 5:16-21)
Tapi Alkitab (kecap) geus jelas. Saur Alkitab, éta éta, who do these things are not born of God, Entong kagolong ka Gusti, jeung moal inherit Karajaan Allah. (Pikeun. John 3:3-5, 1 John 3:8-9; 5:18)
Many Christians serve the devil instead of God
Many Christians don’t stand in the service of God and serve God. But they stand in the service of the devil and serve him. Because instead of preaching the truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ and reconciling people to God, they preach lies. Ngaliwatan bohong maranéhanana, they lead the people astray and make them walk on the broad way that leads to destruction. Because the way of the world doesn’t lead to eternal life but leads to death (o.a. 2 Petrus 2, Jude (Baca ogé: Ngancurkeun karya Allah tinimbang karya Iblis).
They’re masters in adjusting God’s truth to the will and desires of man and the truth of the world.
They’re masters in building bridges with the world and other religions and philosophies and changing the words of God to approve sin and compromise with sinners.
But preaching the sound gospel of Jesus Christ and calling sinners to repentance and delivering them from the power of sin and death and standing on the Word and keep standing on the Word and representing, preaching and bringing the Kingdom of God and walk in the authority of Jesus Christ on earth, they don’t know anything about and are not familiar with.
Many preachers and elders (pamingpin) of the churches don’t solve the problems. Gantina, they allow the people to live in sin and leave them in their sins. Naha? Because they don’t want to hurt or offend anybody’s feelings. They don’t want to get involved and cause problems. And so they let everything run its course, hoping that the problems will solve themselves. But problems don’t get solved by themselves but go from bad to worse. (Baca ogé: Naon Alkitab nyebutkeun ngeunaan dosa di gareja?).
Jesus gave His life to deal with the sin problem
Saha diri-Na sorangan anu nanggung dosa-dosa urang dina awak-Na sorangan dina tangkal, yén urang, keur maot ku dosa, kudu hirup kana kabeneran: ku belang-Na anjeun cageur. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls (1 Peter 2:24-25)
Jesus gave His life and suffered immensely to deal with the sin problem. The sin problem didn’t solve by itself. But the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, putra Allah, was needed to solve the sin problem. It was needed to redeem man from sin and death, restore man’s fallen position and reconcile man to God.
Jesus gave His life for man. Jadina, man could be free from the power of sin and death and live in freedom. Because sin is bondage.
Sin doesn’t lead to eternal life, as the devil made many Christians believe. But sin leads to death.
Pikeun aranjeunna anu saatos daging ngalakukeun pikiran tina hal-hal; Tapi aranjeunna éta saatos sumanget hal sumanget. Pikeun jadi carnally pikiran téh maot; tapi mun jadi pikiran spiritual nyaeta hirup jeung katengtreman. Sabab pikiran carnal nyaeta enmity ngalawan Allah: sabab teu tunduk kana hukum Allah, saleresna teu tiasa (Urang Romawi 8:5-7)
Anak, who lives after the flesh and is carnally minded shall persevere in sin.
Therefore if someone perseveres in sin, it shows that the person lives after the flesh and is carnally minded. The person has not yielded to the Spirit and the law of God (hukum Roh), but lives in enmity against God. The person doesn’t love God and doesn’t belong to Him, but still belongs to the devil and death.
If you love God you will keep His commandments
Because if you love God, you will keep His commandments instead of being prideful and rebellious and disobeying the Word and living in sin (Pikeun. Exodus 20:6, Dekeriim 5:10, John 14:15, 23).
Pikeun jadi carnally pikiran téh maot. Sabab dulur, who lives in sin and keeps sinning and doesn’t repent shall deserve death and not, as is preached in many churches, life and be saved (Urang Romawi 1:24-32)
What does it mean to not live under the law but under grace?
How often do people say, “I don’t live under the law but under grace”. While they live in disobedience to God and His Word after the flesh in sin, kawas dunya. So what does it mean that you don’t live under the law but under grace? What is truly written in the Bible about not living under the law but under grace?
Hayu henteu dosa ku sabab ulang awak anjeun, Ye kedah nurut kana hawa nafsu. Teu ngahasilkeun ye anggota anjeun salaku instrumen tina dosa anu henteu pikaresepeun: tapi ngahasilkeun diri ka Gusti, Sakumaha anu hirup ti paéh, sareng anggota anjeun salaku instrumen leres ku Gusti.
Kanggo dosa moal gaduh dominan pikeun anjeun: pikeun ye henteu di handapeun hukum, Tapi dina rahmat. Kumaha éta? Bakal urang dosa, Kusabab urang henteu dina hukum, Tapi dina rahmat? Gusti nyaram. Terang yo henteu, anu ka saha anu ngahasilkeun hemang diri anjeun, Pangambungna ye nyaéta ka saha waé; naha dosa henteu maot, atanapi tina nurut kana kabagjaan? Tapi Allah hatur nuhun, ye ye mangrupikeun abdi tina dosa, Tapi yeuh nurut kana jantung anu ngabentuk doktrin anu dikirimkeun anjeun. Kitu teras dilakukeun bébas tina dosa, Yeuh janten hamba tina kabagjaan (Urang Romawi 6:12-18
Kanggo nalika ye mangrupikeun abdi tina dosa, yeuh bébas tina kabungahan. Buah naon anu anjeun ngagaduhan dina hal-hal anu mana anu ayeuna ayeuna isin? pikeun tungtung hal-hal éta maot. Tapi ayeuna dilakukeun bébas tina dosa, sareng janten had sareng Gusti, ye gaduh kasucian buah anjeun, sareng tungtung kahirupan anu langgeng. Pikeun gajih dosa maot; Tapi kado Allah mangrupikeun kahirupan langgeng ngalangkungan Yesus Kristus urang (Urang Romawi 6:20-23)
aranjeunna, who live in sin live under the law
dulur, who walks after the flesh and keeps doing the works of the flesh and therefore perseveres in sin lives under the dominion (wibawa) of sin and death and therefore lives under the law of sin and death, Babitan anu aya dina daging.
The only way to ensure that you no longer live under the law but under grace, is through the death of the flesh in Christ. It’s through regeneration in Christ and sanctification; nunda lalaki heubeul jeung nempatkeun lalaki anyar.
Jelema-jelema, who live in sin are not in Christ and are not saved
Janten ayeuna teu aya panghukum ka aranjeunna dimana aya di Kristus Yesus, anu leumpang henteu saatos daging, Tapi saatos sumanget. Kanggo hukum-undang roh hirup di Kristus Yesus parantos damel kuring bébas tina hukum dosa sareng maot (Urang Romawi 8:1-2)
Tapi upami anjeun janten sumanget, yeuh henteu di handapeun hukum (Galata 5:18)
Saha waé anu tetep di Anjeunna henteu ngalakukeun dosa: Saha waé Sinneth Hatheth henteu ningali anjeunna, Sanes anu henteu kabayang anjeunna (1 John 3:6)
People may say they are saved and are not under the law but under grace, but if they still allow sin to reign as king in their lives, by obeying the lusts and desires of the flesh and therefore live in sin, then they are not living under grace. By living after the flesh and doing the works of the flesh, they still live under the law.
dulur, who is not made alive in Christ by the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and doesn’t walk after the Spirit, but still lives under the authority (pendominasi)s of sin and death, still lives under the law.
dulur, who by faith is born again in Christ and saved, and abides in Him, moal (live in) dosa. Kanyataanna, it’s written that everyone, who sins has never seen Him, and neither has known Him.
The Word is clear, éta éta, who allow sin to reign as king in their lives and obey sin by living in sin, are not delivered and are not saved. They still live under the authority of sin and death. Ku kituna, their final destination shall be the kingdom of death (naraka, Kadés). Since the fruit of death is sin and the wages of sin is death and not eternal life.
Dupi anjeun hirup dina dosa jeung disalametkeun?
Anjeunna anu ti Allah ngadangu kecap Allah: ku kituna anjeun teu ngadangu aranjeunna, sabab aranjeun lain ti Allah. Then answered the Jews, sareng nyarios ka anjeunna, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, jeung boga setan? Yesus ngawaler, Abdi henteu gaduh sétan; tapi Kami ngahormat ka Rama Kami, sareng anjeun ngahinakeun Kami. Sareng kuring henteu milarian kamulyaan kuring sorangan: aya hiji nu néangan jeung nangtoskeun. Sabenerna, saleresna, Abdi nyarios ka anjeun, Lamun lalaki tetep nyebutkeun Kami, anjeunna moal pernah ningali maot (John 8:47-51)
Tapi unggal lalaki digoda, nalika anjeunna ditarik tina hawa nafsu sorangan, jeung digoda. Lajeng nalika hawa nafsu geus dikandung, eta bringeth mudik dosa: jeung dosa, lamun geus réngsé, ngalahirkeun maot (James 1:14-15)

Bawa heed, baraya, Lest aya di mana waé haté jahat tina teu percaya, Di buka ti dewa hirup. Tapi ngabingungkeun hiji unggal dinten, Nalika disebut dinten; lest naon waé anjeun bérés ngaliwatan dosa. Pikeun urang dilakukeun partaker Kristus, Upami urang ngayakeun awal kapercayaan kami starffast ka tungtung (Ibrani 3:11-14)
And He said unto me, It is done. Abdi Alfa sareng Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Anjeunna anu overcometh bakal inherit sagala hal; sarta Kami bakal jadi Allah-Na, Sareng anjeunna bakal murangkalih. Tapi sieun, jeung teu percaya, jeung nu hina, jeung murderers, jeung whoremongers, jeung tukang sihir, jeung musyrik, sareng sadaya tukang bohong, bakal boga bagian maranéhanana di danau nu burned ku seuneu jeung walirang: nu maot kadua (Wahyu 21:6-8)
Dupi anjeun hirup dina dosa jeung disalametkeun? No, you can’t live in sin and be saved. Ngan éta, who are born again in Christ and are born of God and have become a new creation (putra Allah) and submit to Jesus Christ and God the Father and listen to the Word and the Holy Spirit and obey and do the Word and walk after the Spirit and live in righteousness, they shall not see death but shall inherit eternal life.
Sin reigns until death; death in Christ or natural death
The fact of the matter is, that sin reigns as king in people’s lives until death. Sanajan kitu, people determine until which death this is; the death in Christ or natural death
A person can allow sin to reign as king in his life until his repentance and the regeneration in Christ, when the flesh dies in Him. Ti ayeuna, the person is delivered from the power of the devil and the law of sin and death. Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, sin and death no longer have authority over the person. But the person has been made free. And by walking after the law of the Spirit as an overcomer in Christ the person inherits eternal life.
Or a person allows sin to reign as king in his life until the person dies a natural death, whereby the spirit of man remains under the authority of sin and death until his death. The person shall not inherit eternal life but shall go to the kingdom of death (naraka). And on the Day of Judgment, the person is cast into the eternal lake of fire and experiences the second death.
