Harti sabenerna salib teu salawasna dipikaharti. Loba Kristen nyarita ngeunaan cross jeung ngahutbah cross, Nalika aranjeunna cicing salaku musuh salib. What is the significance of the cross according to the Bible and what does the cross mean in the lives of Christians?
Seueur urang Kristen ngagaduhan hubungan sareng Yesus sareng Bapa jalanna
There are many Christians that believe in Jesus Christ and repented and are born again, but don’t want to have anything to do with the moral part of the law. They don’t want to keep all kinds of rules and consider them legalistic. Sareng hukumisme mangrupikeun bagian tina agama sareng henteu bagian tina hubungan sareng Yesus Kristus.
Aranjeunna teu hoyong ngawartoskeun naon nu kudu, but they want to be free. They want to live in freedom and have a relationship with Jesus Christ and the Father their way.
Dina seueur kasus, the relationship looks more like a LAT relationship (Living Apart Together) than a marriage. Kusabab sababaraha kali, Christians only spend time with God when they have a need or problems in their lives.
When they’ve a need or problems, they need God to show up and supply their needs and fix their problems. Sanajan kitu, the rest of the time, aranjeunna hirup numutkeun bakal sorangan, ngalakukeun naon anu aranjeunna hoyong laksanakeun.
Atoh, going back to the fact that many Christians say that the moral part of the law is not relevant anymore, how come, that they say they are redeemed from the law, samentara éta, they still live as carnal people to whom the law was intended. Naon ieu hartosna?
The old carnal man keeps falling back into sin
The law of Moses was meant for the old carnal man, who lived in a sinful flesh from a fallen state and belonged to God’s chosen people by birth and the circumcision in the flesh. The sacrificial laws were meant for the old carnal man.
The sacrificial laws dealt with the (individu) dosa sareng akuations tina lalaki yaman lawas, but not with the sinful nature of the old carnal man.
Getih sato henteu kuat cukup pikeun nganyahokeun sifat dosa. That’s because animals are not equal to man. Daging sato béda ti daging lalaki (1 urang Korinta 15:39).
The blood of animals could only deal with the sinful deeds that derived from the sinful flesh.
Ku kituna, the blood of animals could only make a temporary atonement for the sins of man. Éta sababna dianfikasi kedah dilakukeun sacara rutin.
Despite the sacrifices and the blood of perfect animals, man remained the same.
The old man was still trapped in the sinful nature of the flesh and could not be delivered from it.
Unggal waktos, aranjeunna kedah ngaku dosa na, tobat sareng ngadamel rekonsiliasi pikeun dosa. Dosa maranéhanana dieusian sareng ngahampura ngalangkungan di kurban sareng getih dugi ka diulang deui kana kabiasaan kolot sareng dosa deui deui. Ieu mangrupikeun prosés anu lumangsung.
Getih sato ngalir terus, but the sinful nature of the flesh remained present in the generation of fallen man.
Yesus nungkulan alam dosa tina lalaki anu murag
This process continued until Jesus came and dealt with the sinful nature of fallen man that produces sin and leads to death.
Kusabab éta murangkalih mangrupikeun bagian tina daging sareng getih, Anjeunna ogé nyalira ogé nyandak bagian anu sami; Éta ngalangkungan maot anjeunna tiasa ngancurkeun anjeunna anu ngagaduhan kakawasaan maot, nyaeta, sétan; Sareng ngabebaskeun aranjeunna anu ku sieun maot saumur hirupna tunduk kana perbudakan (urang Ibrani 2:14-15)
Yesus ngan ukur nyandak dosa ka anjeunna. He carried the sins and iniquities di Daging na sareng janten penggantian manusa murag. Yesus dibawa hukuman pikeun dosa, anu maot, jeung sah asup ka Hades (naraka).
Sanajan kitu, the death was not strong enough to keep Jesus in Hades. Sanggeus tilu poé, Jesus rose from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit with the keys of hell and death. Jesus conquered the power of death and had taken the dominion legally back from the devil.
Jesus released the righteous prisoners of death and gave the ability to everyone to be delivered from the power of death and hell sarta jadi reconciled jeung Allah. (Pikeun. Mateus 27:50-54; John 1:11-13; Urang Romawi 5:10; 2 urang Korinta 5:18-20; Efesians 4:10; Kolosa 1:21-23).
Sareng Yesus sumping sareng Spake ka aranjeunna, nyebutkeun, Sadaya kakawasaan dipasihkeun ka Kami di sawarga sareng di bumi. Ku kituna anjeun indit, sareng ngajarkeun sadaya bangsa, ngabaptis aranjeunna dina nami Rama, sareng putra, sareng jurig suci: Ngajarkeun aranjeunna pikeun niténan sagala hal naon anu kuring parantos paréntah: jeung, lo, Abdi sareng anjeun salawasna, even unto the end of the earth
Mateus 28:18-20
The new creation is delivered from the sinful flesh through regeneration
Only by faith in Jesus Christ and becoming born again, jalma tiasa ditebus tina daging dosa. Ngalangkungan baptis in Christ and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, the flesh of the old man dies and the spirit raises from the dead and the new man receives the Holy Spirit.
The new creation has left the old behind and receives a new life in the spirit. Dina otoritas Isa Kristus sareng ku kakawasaan Suci, the new man has the ability to become a son of God (boh lalaki sareng bikang) and walk as a son of God in obedience to God in righteousness.
The new man shall put away the carnal works of the old man, and do the will of the Spirit, whereby the new man shall come forth in the natural. (Baca ogé: Naha anjeun tiasa cicing hirup anu kabangkitan tanpa maot?)
The Holy Spirit has the same will as Jesus and the Father and confronts and reproves a person of sin. Teras dugi ka jalma pikeun nurut anjeunna sareng nempatkeun dosa.
Kusabab jalma henteu deui milik generasi manusa murag sareng teu aya deui iblis salaku bapak.
The person belongs to the generation of the new man (kreasi anyar) that is created in Jesus Christ. The new creation is born of God and has God as Father.
The new creations are the sons of God and together they are the church; awak Yesus Kristus.
The tujuan gareja is to raise the saints in the Word of God and equip them. Jadina, they know the will of God and become equal to Jesus Christ and walk as Jesus walked in obedience to the Father’s will, preaching and bringing the Kingdom of God to the people.
Persevere in sin through ignorance and a lack of knowledge
Sanajan kitu, the problem is that in many churches instead of sons of God, orologians, Panyatur motivasi atanapi promosi diri, anu masih kénéh ciptana sareng gaduh bentuk ramalan, di tukangeun cender sareng ngajarkeun para marga.
Aranjeunna ngajarkeun aranjeunna tina pola pikir karnal sareng hikmah manusa sorangan, pangaweruh, sareng filosofi tibatan pikiran Kristus sareng kabeneran kecap Allah.
In order to get an audience and attract people and be exalted, aranjeunna ngahutbah naon anu jalma hoyong ngadangu.
Through their sermons that revolve around the carnal man (daging), they ensure that the people become depended on them and that they stand above the believers.
By preaching carnal words and vain philosophies that derive from their carnal mind, instead of preaching the truth of God’s Word that derives from the mind of Christ, they keep the believers ignorant about the truth.
Ngaliwatan bohong maranéhanana, aranjeunna tetep di beungkeutan, sareng éta persis naon setan.
Ngalangkungan kurangna pangaweruh ngeunaan Firman Allah, Christians keep living in bondage of their flesh. Aranjeunna jaga leumpang saatos daging sareng Persibs di dosa sareng henteu tiasa ngeureunkeun sikap.
Disisi lain, aranjeunna bébéja, éta teu aya deui dosa. Ku kituna, they can’t walk in sin. Sareng di sisi séjén, they are told that they always remain a sinner. Therefore they will persevere in sin until the day that they’ll die. Sabab ngan ukur maot, aranjeunna bakal dikirim ti daging dosa.
False doctrines are preached to keep Christians in bondage
But that is a big lie that derived from the carnal mind of people, saha anu masih ciptana. This false doctrine is based upon human philosophies and personal experiences. If this doctrine would be true, Teras naha Yesus sumping ka Bumi ieu? Naha Yesus kedah janten penggantian urang pikeun nganyahokeun sakali sareng sadayana sareng masalah dosa? Sareng naon anu kajantenan dina dinten Pentecost?
The people that came up with this false doctrine were unspiritual. Aranjeunna henteu hoyong iklas kahirupan anu nyalira. Teras kumaha, they adjusted the gospel and truth of God to their own carnal experiences, papanggihan, nafsu, jeung kahayang.
Sareng kusabab kanyataan, anu aranjeunna ditunjuk ku garéja kusabab aranjeunna gaduh diploma atanapi ph.D. and therefore obtained a certain status, the church adopted and applied this doctrine. To this day, this lie is still preached.
Christians are sidetracked
Kusabab doktrin palsu ieu, many Christians are sidetracked and many souls have been lost. While they could have been saved by preaching the right sermons according to the Bible (kecap) jeung Roh Suci.
Kusabab bohong ieu, many Christians have the idea that when they tobat sareng lahir deui (according to their theology), aranjeunna henteu ngan ukur ngabersihkeun tina dosa lawas, but also from their sins in which they persevere after they become born again. Because they can’t be redeemed from sin, but will always stay a sinner.
If the Bible says that Jesus came to redeem man and has redeemed man through His work at the cross, but the preacher or theologian says that man always remains a sinner, anu nyarios kaleresan?
What has Jesus done at the cross according to these theologians or preachers? Naon tujuanna datang sareng hartos tina kurban na?
Kusabab kanyataan, that many Christians are not truly born again and have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ; kecap, Tapi aranjeunna percanten, trust and lean on the words of preachers and theologians. They believe the words of people above the words of God.
Kanggo sapertos ku hiji lalaki anu henteu patuh kana dosa, Janten ku nurut hiji-hiji kedah seueur pisan
Urang Romawi 5:19
Dosa tibatan daging anu dipibanda dina salib
Tinimbang nyepak daging, Di mana sipat dosa, aranjeunna kuku dosa na di salib. Aranjeunna henteu nganyahokeun masalah dosa, Pikeun Yesus sumping ka Bumi ieu. Gantina, they keep living in the lies, anu disebarkeun ku iblis ngalangkungan filosofis jalma-jalma.
Tapi kanyataanana, anu salami daging tina lalaki kolot henteu maot, the person shall walk after the flesh and persevere in sin and shall keep doing the things that oppose the will of God.
Salami jalma anu diulas dina dosa, aranjeunna henteu ditebus tina dosa, but are still a hamba dosa.
In some churches or at seminars there is even a wooden cross on the stage with pieces of paper, nails, and a hammer.
Sémah tiasa nyerat dosa atanapi masalahna dina sapotong kertas sareng kuku di salib. Tapi ieu mangrupikeun perbuatan émosi anu karana (daging) sareng teu aya hubunganana sareng sumanget.
Because when they go home, they continue their lives and fall back into the same sin. Ngan sapertos jalma-jalma Allah dina Perjangjian Old.
That’s why many Christian, Saha anu ngaku deui, sareng henteu hoyong ngagaduhan nanaon sareng hukum, live the same way as the carnal people of God for whom the law was intended, anyar: lalaki kolot kolot, who is trapped in the sinful flesh.
Tinimbang kaayaan masalah dosa, namely ngabalukarkeun dosa: the sinful flesh, they try to deal with their sins out of their flesh by using all kinds of natural means and methods
Yesus maot kusabab dosa tina lalaki kolot
Jesus didn’t die for your sins so that you can keep walking in sins. But Jesus died because of your sins that derive from the sinful nature of the flesh of the old man.
Jesus died for the old man, nu boga dosa. Jadina, dina Anjeunna, lalaki heubeul (daging) maot sareng lalaki anyar (sumanget) geus dihudangkeun ti nu maraot.
Jesus not only dealt with the sins and iniquities of fallen man at the cross. But Jesus also dealt with the sinful nature of fallen man, anu aya dina daging. Éta alesanana, Nalika jalma, Saha ciptaan kolot (jalma dosa), janten lahir deui, henteu deui dosa.
Di saha ogé anjeun disarankan sareng sunat anu dilakukeun tanpa panangan, Dina nempatkeun awak dosa tina daging ku sunat Kristus: Dikubur sareng Anjeunna dina baptisan, dimana ogé ye risen sareng anjeunna ngalangkungan iman operasi dewa, anu geus ngahudangkeun Anjeunna ti nu maraot (Kolosa 2:11-12)
The person has become a new creation: kabungahan dewa di Kristus. Hiji jalma, anu parantos janten ciptaan anyar, moal kedah deui. Margi, anu kagolong ka Kristus parantos disructied dagingna sareng mangaruhanna sareng mustawan. Ku kituna, aranjeunna moal pernah nyarios dosa tapi kedah ngalakukeun karya kabiasaan.
Naon hukum sareng getih sato henteu tiasa ngalakukeun, Yesus tiasa! Yesus, Kecap hirup, came in the flesh and became the Substitute of the disobedient, lalaki kolot, Saha tujuan akhir teu maot di tasik seuneu.
They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts
Galata 4:24
The true meaning and result of the cross in the lives of believers
Dina salib, Yesus nungkulan alam dosa, anu aya dina daging. Jadina, dulur, anu percanten ka anjeunna sareng janten lahir deui, bakal ditebus tina alam dosa tina daging, anu ngahasilkeun dosa sareng maot.
The believer shall no longer produce sin from the sinful flesh, but righteousness from the Spirit (Pikeun. Urang Romawi 6-8; Galata 5:16-26).
Naha anjeun hoyong nyingkirkeun dosa dina kahirupan anjeun? Teras sadayana anu anjeun lakukeun nyaéta: Pindah ka dosa. Angkat ka akar masalah dosa, anu mangrupakeun daging. Salami daging anjeun henteu maot, Roh anjeun henteu tiasa diangkat.
