Dina kolosisi 1:18, Paul wrote to the saints at Colosse that Jesus is the Head of the Body, garéja: saha nu mimiti, the Firstborn from the dead; yén dina sagala hal Anjeunna tiasa gaduh kaunggulan. Naon ieu hartosna?
Hartos colossians 1:18
Yesus teh gambar Allah siluman, the Firstborn of every creature and Jesus is the Head of the Body, garéja. The only way to access the Church is through faith and regeneration in Jesus Christ. Upami anjeun lahir deui dina Kristus, anjeun milik Badan-Na, garéja.
The Head reigns, decides, and directs the Body and the Body submits and follows and do the will of the Head.
Ku kituna dulur, who is born again and belongs to the Church, should submit to Jesus Christ and obey Him and nuturkeun Anjeunna jeung ngalakukeun kahayang-Na.
The mind is in the head
The mind is in the head. Ku kituna, aranjeunna, who are born again and belong to the Body of Christ, garéja, should renew their mind with the Word of God. Naha? So that their mind and thoughts will line up with the Word and they may prove what is that good, sareng ditarima, and perfect will of God.
Kuring neneda kitu, baraya, ku rahmat Allah, yen maraneh nampilkeun awak anjeun kurban anu hirup, suci, ditarima ku Allah, nu layanan lumrah Anjeun. Sareng henteu dikonfirmasi ka dunya ieu: Tapi janten YE dirobah ku pembaruan pikiran anjeun, ye naha tiasa ngabuktikeun naon anu saé, sareng ditarima, jeung Sépé, bakal dewa (Urang Romawi 12:1-2)
Before you believed, tobat, sarta jadidilahirkeun deui, anjeun ciptaan heubeul.
You belonged to the generation of fallen man. Your mind was filled with the wisdom, pangaweruh, and the things of the world.
The devil was your father and you belonged to the world. Ku kituna, you thought, talked, acted, and lived like the world.
Sanajan kitu, ku iman ka Yesus Kristus sareng regenerasi ka Anjeunna, ngaliwatan pupusna daging jeung jadian roh ti nu maraot, you were transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God.
You no longer belong to the devil and the world and are henteu deui dosa. But you belong to God and His Kingdom and have become a saint.
Another kingdom means another king and another law
Another kingdom means, diantara batur, another king, another law; other commandments and other rules. Pondokna, it means a change of life.
Therefore it’s essential when you become born again, pikeun renew pikiran anjeun kalawan Firman Allah. Because by the renewing of your mind, you will get to know the will of God and come to the knowledge of the truth and your thoughts will line up with God’s thoughts and you shall walk in His ways. (Baca ogé: Mangrupikeun pikiran dewa urang? jeung Nyaeta jalan Allah jalan anjeun?).
If your mind is renewed with the Word of God and you know His will and His truth, you will no longer believe the lies of the devil and think, kalakuan, and walk like the world, and live the same life before you were born again, nalika anjeun ciptaan heubeul, jalma dosa.
But through the renewing of your mind, you shall spiritually mature and think, kalakuan, and walk like the new creation, like Jesus Christ, and in submission and obedience to the Word, Anjeun kedah ngalakukeun wasiat.
Yesus mangrupikeun sirah awak, garéja
Yesus mangrupikeun sirah awak, garéja. When you belong to the Body of Christ, you ought to think the way He thinks and act the way He acts and keep His commandments and do His will.
By doing His will, you shall not only be a hearer of the Word but a doer of the Word. (Baca ogé: ‘The Pengenal VS’).
Jesus is the Living Word and is nu Firstborn ciptaan anyar, Who walked upon this earth. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. He did the will of His Father, whereby He glorified and exalted His Father. The Word and the Spirit are the Witnesses of God upon the earth.
Jesus faced death and conquered the death and rose from the dead unto eternal life, Janten sadayana, who would lay down his or her life and by faith in Jesus Christ become born again, moal ningali maot, but enter eternal life.
Jesus Christ gave the example
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. tercinta, ayeuna urang teh putra-putra Allah, sareng éta henteu acan katingali kumaha urang bakal janten: tapi urang terang éta, nalika Anjeunna bakal muncul, urang bakal kawas Anjeunna; pikeun urang bakal ningali Anjeunna sakumaha Anjeunna. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure (1 John 3:1-3)
Jesus Christ has given us the example. He showed us how to live as sons of God (boh lalaki sareng bikang) in the authority of God in obedience to His will.
Jesus showed us His relationship with the Father. He showed us the words He spoke as One having authority and the works He did in the Name of His Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, which glorified the Father.
Jesus is the Head of His Body, garéja. We are the Church and He is our Head. Therefore the Church, who represents and preaches the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, shall speak, act and walk in the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit and expose and ngancurkeun karya gelap.
Is Jesus the Head of your life?
If Jesus is the Head of the Church and if you are born again and belong to the Church, then Jesus Christ is the Head of your life. Since you died in Christ, you no longer live, tapi Kristus hirup di anjeun. Your body is the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwells(Pikeun. Galata 2:20, 1 urang Korinta 3:16; 6:19, 2 urang Korinta 6:16).
Ayeuna ku kituna anjeun geus euweuh deui urang asing jeung asing, tapi sasama warga sareng para wali, jeung kulawarga Allah; Jeung anu diwangun dina pondasi rasul jeung nabi, Yesus Kristus Dirina jadi Batu Panghulu Pojok; Dina saha sakabeh wangunan fitly dipiguraan babarengan tumuwuh jadi hiji Bait Allah suci di Gusti: Di mana anjeun ogé diwangun babarengan pikeun hiji habitation Allah ngaliwatan Roh (Efesians 2:19-22)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (1 urang Korinta 3:16-17).
Naon? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 urang Korinta 6:19-20)
If you let Jesus be the Head of your life and you submit to Him and walk according to His will and obey parentah-Na, then you will become like Him and speak, act and walk like Him. Because God has given power to everyone, anu narima Anjeunna, pikeun jadi putra-putra Allah (John 1:12-13).
If Jesus is the Head of your life then you will obey Him
If you belong to Jesus Christ and submit to Him, you shall do what He says and what pleases Him. Through your life and walk you shall honor and glorify Him.
Sareng didieu urang terang yén urang terang anjeunna, Upami urang tetep paréntah. Anjeunna éta sait, Abdi terang anjeunna, sareng jaga sanés paréntah, nyaéta tukang bohong, sareng bebeneran henteu di anjeunna. Tapi whoso ngajaga kecap, Dina anjeunna veryy mangrupikeun cinta Allah disampurnakeun: Ieu terang urang yén kami dina anjeunna. Anjeunna yén sait anjeunna nyidikkeun anjeunna nyalira ogé leumpang, Sanaos anjeunna leumpang (1 John 2:3-6).
But if you can’t let go of the world, because you love the world too much. And if you keep doing the things you want to do, instead of doing the things Jesus wants you to do, and you walk after the flesh, doing the works of the flesh and persevere in sin, then Jesus shall no longer be your Head and you shall no longer belong to Him, because you don’t do what He says.
Jesus gave His body, so that the Church could become His Body
Ieu ogé lumaku pikeun Garéja. Jesus gave His body, so that we could become His Body. But if the Church leaves Jesus Christ; the Word and doesn’t do what He says and (spinite) behead Him of the Church, then the Church shall be a humanistic social institution, that focus on man and feeding and pleasing the flesh, instead of being a power of God, that focus on Jesus Christ and His Kingdom and feeding the spirit of man. (Baca ogé: The Church a social institution or a power of God?)
The church shall be spiritually powerless and shall not be able to stand against the powers, pangawasa, kapangéranan, tahta, jsb. tina karajaan gelap, causing the devil to manifest himself in the church; in the lives of people through the works of the flesh (nyembah berhala, elmu sihir, najis séksual, cabul, berzina, cerai, karanjingan, jsb.)
Therefore stay in the Word. Don’t leave the words of God. Let Jesus Christ be the Head of the Church and the Head of your life.
