Parobahan karajaan
Masihan hatur nuhun ka bapa, anu diangkat ngajantenkeun urang patepang janten pintonan pusaka tina umat suci dina cahaya: Anu ngintunkeun kami tina kakawasaan gelap, sareng hath ditarjamahkeun ka Karajaan lalaki anu sinta: Di saha kami parantos nebus getih na, Malah hampura dosa (Kolosa 1:12-14)
Kanggo hukum-undang roh hirup di Kristus Yesus parantos damel kuring bébas tina hukum dosa sareng maot (Urang Romawi 8:2)
Nalika anjeun tobat, by faith in Jesus Christ and His work of salvation and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, you are born again and have become a son of God.
A change has taken place in the spiritual realm. When you died to the flesh and your spirit was raised from the dead, you were transferred from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God. This change of kingdom means a change of (rohani) citizenship and a change of Law.
Through regeneration you have become a new creation; a new man and your nature has changed.
A son of God experiences a change of nature
Tapi sakumaha anu ditampi anjeunna, ka aranjeunna masihan kakuatan anjeunna janten putra dewa, malah ka anu percaya kana Ngaran-Na: Anu dilahirkeun, teu getih, atawa tina kahayang daging, atawa tina kahayang manusa, tapi ti Allah (John 1:13-14)
Behold, kumaha cara cinta bapak hath nyanggé kana urang, anu urang kedah disebut putra Allah: ku sabab dunya terang henteu, Kusabab éta terang anjeunna henteu (1 John 3:1)
The nature of the father of fallen man (sétan) has died with your flesh. Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the Father of the new man (Gusti) came to life.
Once you have received the Holy Spirit, Roh Suci abides di anjeun. Therefore you don’t have to call upon the Holy Spirit and invite Him over and over again. Because once the Holy Spirit comes in you, He will abide in you and be forever with you (Pikeun. John 14:17).
Sahenteuna, as long as you decide to stay in Christ, live after God’s will and not depart from Christ. How do you depart from Christ? By walking after the will of the flesh, in which the devil reigns, jeung hirup kawas dunya.
God replaces the heart of stone by a heart of flesh
Sareng abdi bakal masihan aranjeunna hiji jantung, Sareng kuring bakal nempatkeun sumanget anyar dina anjeun; sareng kuring bakal nyandak haté besar tina dagingna, sareng bakal masihan aranjeunna nyeri daging: Anu aranjeunna tiasa leumpang dina statuta kuring, sareng ngajaga pangaturan tambang, sareng ngalakukeunana: sareng aranjeunna bakal jalma, sareng abdi bakal janten dewa (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
Dina perjanjian kolot, God made His will known to the kanal kolot, by giving the Law to Moses. God gave the Law 50 poé sanggeus Paska.
Dina perjanjian anyar, God made His will known to the new man by giving His Holy Spirit. Allah masihan Roh Suci-Na 50 poé sanggeus Paska. (Baca ogé: Aya naon 50 poé sanggeus Paska?).
The evil heart of stone, in which the will of the devil was written and always exalts itself above God and resists the will of God and His commandments was replaced by a living heart of flesh, in which the will of God was written. (Baca ogé: Naon haté jahat?).
Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Law of God, anu ngagambarkeun wasiat, is written in your new heart.
The Holy Spirit represents, kawas Yesus, the will of the Father and His righteousness and holiness. He reproves the world of sin, leresna, jeung judgment.
A son of God will experience a change of behavior
Naha anjeun henteu ngartos pidato Kami? malah sabab anjeun teu bisa ngadéngé kecap Kami. Aranjeun teh bapa aranjeun Iblis, jeung kahayang bapa anjeun bakal ngalakukeun. Anjeunna murderer ti mimiti, jeung abode teu dina bebeneran, sabab teu aya bebeneran dina anjeunna. Nalika anjeunna nyarios bohong, manéhna nyarita sorangan: sabab anjeunna tukang bohong, jeung bapana eta. Sarta alatan kuring ngabejaan Anjeun kaleresan, anjeun henteu percanten ka Kami. Saha anu ngayakinkeun Kami kana dosa? Sareng upami kuring nyarios kaleresan, naha maraneh henteu percaya ka Kami? Anjeunna anu ti Allah ngadangu kecap Allah: ku kituna anjeun teu ngadangu aranjeunna, sabab aranjeun lain ti Allah (John 8:43-47)
Kami nyarioskeun naon anu ku Kami parantos katingal sareng Bapa Kami: sareng anjeun ngalakukeun naon anu anjeun tingali sareng bapa anjeun (John 8:38)
The change of kingdom and the change of nature will cause a change of behavior. You shall no longer walk as the old man in pride after the carnal wisdom, pangaweruh, bakal, and the unsatisfied lusts and desires of the flesh. You shall no longer live like the world in unrighteousness and sin.
Due to the change of heart and nature, you shall walk as the new man after the Spirit in righteousness. You shall live after the will of God and keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Because you’ve received His nature and His will abides in you and you love Jesus, you shall do what He commands you to do. (Baca ogé: The commandments Allah jeung parentah Yesus).
A son of God does by nature the things contained in the law
Pikeun saloba anu geus dosa tanpa hukum ogé bakal binasa tanpa hukum: jeung saloba geus dosa dina hukum bakal judged ku hukum; (Pikeun henteu ngadangukeun hukum anu adil di payuneun Allah, tapi nu ngalakukeun hukum bakal diyakinkeun. Pikeun nalika kapir, nu teu boga hukum, ngalakukeun ku alam hal-hal anu aya dina hukum, ieu, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Nu nembongkeun karya hukum ditulis dina hate maranéhanana, hate nurani maranéhanana ogé bearing saksi, jeung pikiran maranéhanana hartina bari tuduh atawa sejenna excusing hiji sarua séjén;) Dina poé nalika Allah bakal nangtoskeun rusiah manusa ku Yesus Kristus nurutkeun Injil abdi (Urang Romawi 2:12-16)
Keur naon hukum teu bisa ngalakukeun, dina éta lemah ngaliwatan daging, Allah ngutus Putra-Na sorangan dina sasaruaan daging dosa, jeung dosa, dikutuk dosa dina daging: Supaya kabeneran hukum bisa kaeusi dina urang, anu leumpang henteu saatos daging, Tapi saatos sumanget (Urang Romawi 8:3-4)
When you have become a son of God, you shall do the moral part of the law by nature. Since the law is the will of God. You shall be a law unto yourself and fulfill the law, kawas Yesus. (Baca ogé: Naha manusa tiasa ngalaksanakeun hukum?).
Naon ciri-ciri putra Allah?
What are the most important characteristics of a son of God? The most important characteristics of a son of God are not charity works and humanitarian works. The characteristics of a son of God are not signs and wonders either. Sabab ceuk Isa, there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, who shall do great signs and wonders. They shall be so great that if it were possible, they’ll deceive the very elect (Pikeun. Mateus 24:24, Tandaan 13:22).
The words of Jesus show that you don’t have to be born again to walk in the supernatural and do signs and wonders. Signs and wonders don’t proof that you are a son of God. (Baca ogé: Naha anjeun kudu lahir deui leumpang di alam gaib?).
A son of God shall love and fear the Lord and walk in righteousness
By the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (Paribasa 16:6)
But the characteristics of a son of God are that a son of God loves God with all his heart, jiwa, pikiran, and strength and fears the Lord. Therefore the son shall depart from evil (dosa jeung iniquity) and shall no longer walk in unrighteousness. But the son shall walk in obedience to God in righteousness. (Baca ogé: Naha anjeun bogoh ka Gusti kalayan manah?).
A son of God shall never compromise with sin and shall never tolerate and accept the works of the kingdom of darkness. But a son of God exposes the works of darkness and destroys and removes them.
When someone has become a son of God and the Holy Spirit abides in the person, the person shall do the bakal dewa. Since the person is born of God and has the nature of God.
The righteous works, which originate from God’s nature, prove that the person is a son of God. Because it proves that the person has the same nature as his Father.
A son of God shall never approve the works of the devil. Let alone to walk in it.
Because they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (Galata 5:24)
A son of God is led by the Spirit
Upami upami anjeun cicing saatos daging, ye bakal maot: Tapi upami yeuh ngalangkungan sumanget ngalakukeun amarah awak, yeuh bakal cicing. Pikeun saloba anu dipingpin ku Roh Allah, maranehna teh putra-putra Allah (Urang Romawi 8:13-14)
A son of God shall walk after the Spirit in the truth of God. Therefore a son of God shall walk in the will of God.
A son of God shall speak the truth of God. He shall expose and destroy the lies and works of the devil through the Word in the authority of Jesus (ngaran Yesus) sareng kakawasaan sumanget suci.
A son of God bears the fruit of the Spirit
A son of God walks after the Spirit and shall bear the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is righteous, bogoh (love for God and out of that love, the love for your neighbor), kabungah, katengtreman, longsuffering, keseluk, kahadean, iman, beuki, manja. (Baca ogé: Buah Roh)
ceuk Yesus, that you shall recognize the tree by its fruit and that is still the case.
Putra-putra Allah ngalaksanakeun pangersa Bapana
Pikeun sakur anu bakal ngalakukeun wasiat Allah, sami sareng abdi, jeung adina mah, jeung indung (Tandaan 3:35)
A son shall listen to his father and obey his father and shall do the will of his father. Because a son has the nature of his father.
Therefore the sons of God, who have the nature of God shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to His Word. They shall do the will of their Father. Just like the sons of the devil, who have the nature of the devil, shall listen to their father. They shall walk after the flesh in obedience to his words and do the will of their father.
