Their unrenewed state is visible in their lives by the fruit they bear. Because the Holy Spirit doesn’t walk in sin and would never approve of sin or promote sin and doesn’t compromise and build bridges with the world, and pagan religions and philosophies, which derive from the darkness.
The Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment (John 16:8)
Firman nyebutkeun, that if a person is born of God, he will do righteousness, since the person is born of God and has received God’s nature, and therefore the person shall live from this new nature.
The person shall no longer walk as the old creation in disobedience to God in obedience to the devil according to the will of the flesh (old nature) and doing the works of the flesh and persevering in sin. But the person shall walk as the new creation in obedience to God, according to the will of the Spirit (new nature), and therefore bear the fruit of the Spirit and of righteousness.
A tree doesn’t lie. You will recognize the tree by the fruit they bear. This same principle applies to Christians.
Sanajan kitu, masalahna nyaéta, that many Christians don’t know the Word, because they don’t read and study the Bible, and therefore they don’t know this and keep believing the lies of the devil.
They listen to the words of carnal preachers, who walk after the flesh and persevere in sin and they believe and obey their words, since they think they are appointed by God and tell the truth. And so many are misled and enter the broad way, which doesn’t lead to eternal life.
Many Christians have no knowledge of God’s Word
This is also the second reason, why many Christians don’t preach a clear message and can’t answer questions about the Christian faith. They don’t read and study the Bible and have not renewed their minds with the Word of God and because of that, they are ignorant about the will of God, Karajaan Allah, éta works of darkness, alus jeung jahat, perang spiritual, éta meuntas, getih, kebangkitan, baptis, éta Lalaki Anyar, the inheritance, the great commission, éta end times, pertimbangan sareng hirup langgeng.
They faithfully attend church services and listen to what the preacher says and during the week they read some Scriptures from the Bible, when they wake up and/or before they go to bed. But during their day, they don’t take time to study the Bible, but spend their time on the things that are more important to them.
The faith is not their life, but just an addition to their own lives that usually consists of following religious duties.
It’s all about the state of the heart of a person, which becomes visible through words and deeds. The words and deeds of a person, which derive from the heart, show whether the person’s desire goes out to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom or to the (things of) dunya.
As long as Christians don’t spend time in the Word and don’t search the Scriptures, they shall remain ignorant and unsure about their faith and shall have doubts and questions.
And if they have doubts and questions about the Christian faith, because they don’t understand certain things about the Christian faith and the Bible, how can Christians preach the gospel to others? How can Christians preach a clear message and answer questions, if they have doubts and questions themselves?
Many Christians are afraid, to tell the truth of God
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe (Paribasa 29:25)
And the final reason why Christians can’t preach a clear message and can’t answer questions is because of fear for people.
Many Christians are afraid, to tell the truth of God and represent the will of God and His Kingdom on earth.
Although they pray piously ‘Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’, they don’t submit themselves to the will of God and don’t represent and preach His will and His Kingdom on earth.
Instead of preaching and representing the Kingdom of God and His will on earth, they preach what people want to hear.
They don’t consider the will of God, Who wants every person to repent and remove their sins and be saved, but they consider the feelings and emotions and the will of the flesh of people.
Instead of having a fear for God, they fear the people.
Under the pressure of the world and out of fear of the opinion, reaction, tampikan, and persecution of people they keep their mouths shut and remain silent and give no straight answer to the questions of people
Due to a lack of knowledge and a fear of people Christians remain silent and because of that many souls are lost
If Christians don’t become born again in Christ and spiritually awake and take their position in Christ and their place in the Body of Christ on earth, and don’t renew their mind with the Word of God, and out of fear of people keep their mouths shut and stay silent about the truth, they shall not be able to be witnesses of Jesus Christ and many souls shall be lost.
Souls, which could have been saved and could have inherited eternal life through Jesus Christ (if Christians would know who they are in Christ and take a stand on the Word and speak boldly about Jesus Christ and be His witnesses and would not be ashamed of the gospel and call the people to repentance), but have never met and gotten to know Jesus Christ, putra anu hirup, who loved them and also died for them on the cross and gave His life and His blood for them. Only because of the ignorance, sieun, and silence of Christians, who many times are too busy with their own lives and don’t have time for God and Jesus; the Word and the things of the Kingdom of God and keep their ears closed for the Holy Spirit and keep their eyes shut for the spiritual need and the lost souls around them.
