Dina kolosisi 3:5-9, Paul nyerat, Corefied ku anggota anjeun anu aya di bumi; cabul, najis, kasih sayang, konsciisciscence jahat, sareng covetousousness, anu mana ciri: Pikeun hal anu’ demok gusti allah pikeun barudak henteu patuh: Di mana ye ogé leumpang sababaraha waktos, Nalika ye cicing di aranjeunna. Tapi ayeuna ye ogé pareum sadaya ieu; amarah, amarah, niat jahat, pitenah, komunikasi kotor kaluar tina sungut anjeun. Bohong teu salah, Ningali ye parantos angkat tina lalaki kolot kalayan perbuatan na. Sarta geus ditunda lalaki anyar, nu renewed pangaweruh sanggeus gambar Anjeunna anu nyiptakeun manéhna: Dimana teu aya Yunani atanapi Yahudi, sunat teu sunat, Barbar, Scythian, beungkeut atawa bébas: tapi Kristus sadayana, sareng sadayana. Naon mortify anggota anjeun anu aya di bumi hartosna? How do you mortify your members which are upon the earth?
The responsibility of the new man (putra Allah)
If you are risen with Christ and are seated in Him, anjeun kedah milarian hal-hal anu aya di luhur, dimana Kristus linggih, and not the things on this earth. The spiritual transformation (the new birth in Christ) shall become visible in your life on earth by putting off the old man and putting on the new man.
God has not only given you the authority in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, but God has also given you the responsibility to (spinite) mortify your members on earth and to put off the works of the flesh, so that the flesh shall no longer reign as king in your life and dictates you what to do, and make you walk after the flesh in disobedience to God and His Word, but that Christ reigns as King in your life and you walk after the Spirit in obedience to God and His Word (Baca ogé: Ngantepkeun dosa henteu deui reignya!).
That responsibility has been given to the new man, and no single excuse can be cited, to relieve the new man from this responsibility and duty.
Henteu aya saurang ogé, who says to be a Christian and claims to be born again has an exceptional position and is excluded.
No one has the right to keep walking in ignorance and be carnally minded, which is enmity against God and is death, and live as children of disobedience as enemies of God and His righteousness (Pikeun. Efesians 2:2; 4:18-19, 1 Peter 1:14).
Lalaki kolot (putra Iblis) is crucified with Christ
If you say that you are born again in Christ, you shall live as a regenerated person, anu kagolong ka Gusti, since your nature has changed.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin and death. Therefore you no longer live under the law of sin and death, Babitan anu aya dina daging, because your flesh has been crucified with Christ. You have been made free in Christ and live under grace and the law of the Spirit of life (Urang Romawi 6:14; 8:1).
When you were the old man, you were alive to the world, but dead to God, due to your trespasses and sins (Pikeun. Efesians 2:1-3, 1 Peter 1:13-16).
You belonged to the world and therefore you walked according to the course (gaya hirup) dunya ieu, nurutkeun pangeran kakawasaan hawa, sumanget anu ayeuna dianggo dina barudak henteu patuh.
The old man doesn’t do the will of God, but the will of the devil (pamaréntahan dunya ieu), and lives in obedience to the devil in disobedience to God in unbelief.
The old man walks in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the (karikat) pikiran, and is by nature a child of wrath (Efesians 2:1-3).
The new man is raised from the death in Christ
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.
Pikeun lamun urang geus dipelak babarengan dina sasaruaan maot-Na, urang ogé bakal aya dina sasaruaan kebangkitan-Na: Nyaho ieu, yén lalaki heubeul urang geus disalib jeung Anjeunna, yén awak dosa bisa ancur, yén ti ayeuna urang teu kudu ngawula dosa. Pikeun manéhna nu geus maot geus dibébaskeun tina dosa. Ayeuna lamun urang geus maot jeung Kristus, urang percaya yén urang ogé bakal hirup jeung Anjeunna: Nyaho yén Kristus anu gugah tina pupusna moal maot deui; maot teu boga kakawasaan deui ka Anjeunna. Pikeun dina eta Anjeunna pupus, Anjeunna maot kana dosa sakali: tapi dina eta Anjeunna hirup, anjeunna hirup ka Allah. Kitu ogé, aranjeun ogé geus maot dina dosa, tapi hirup ka Allah ngaliwatan Yesus Kristus Gusti urang
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? (Urang Romawi 6:1-16)
Ku iman ka Yesus Kristus jeung regenerasi ka Anjeunna, the old man has died in Christ and the new man is raised from the death in Christ and made alive unto God.
The spirit of man has been made alive and the Spirit shall reign in the life of the new man. Through submission to God and obedience to His Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit, the new man shall mortify the members which are upon the earth and lay down the works of the flesh and deprave sin from its power, by not giving in to the will, nafsu, and desires of the flesh and not act upon the thoughts, which oppose the words of God.
If you have become the new man, you shall no longer seek the things which are on the earth and sow in the flesh and reap corruption, but you shall seek those things, which are above and sow in the spirit and bear the buah sumanget.
You are no longer a servant of sin and death, but you have been made free in Christ and have become a servant of righteousness.
Therefore you shall no longer yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. You shall no longer let your members on earth dictate to you what to do, but from your new position in Christ, you shall take authority over your members and mortify your members which are on the earth and yield yourself unto God and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
What are your members, anu aya di bumi?
Corefied ku anggota anjeun anu aya di bumi; cabul, najis, kasih sayang, konsciisciscence jahat, sareng covetousousness, anu mana ciri: Pikeun hal anu’ demok gusti allah pikeun barudak henteu patuh: Di mana ye ogé leumpang sababaraha waktos, Nalika ye cicing di aranjeunna (Kolosa 3:5-7)
Your members, which are on the earth, are fornication, najis, kasih sayang, konsciisciscence jahat, sareng covetousousness, anu mana ciri.
If a Christian keeps walking in fornication, najis, kasih sayang, konsciisciscence jahat, sareng covetousousness, the person is still the old man and not the new man, since the person still bears the fruit of the old carnal man.
It’s important that the person repents and becomes born again in Christ, and from the Spirit mortifies his or her members which are upon the earth.
Dina Kristus, you have been given all authority and power to mortify your members on the earth and put off the works of the flesh by resisting the devil, dosa, and death so that they shall not have dominion over you anymore.
Tapi terserah anjeun, if you want to do it or not. It all depends on whether your love for Jesus and the Father is stronger than your love for your flesh (Baca ogé: Do you love God above all?).
Mortifying your members which are upon the earth and putting off the works of the flesh is something you have to do yourself. Nobody else can do that for you. It’s your responsibility, you will be held accountable for it.
But if you don’t take your authority in Christ and you don’t mortify your members which are upon the earth, then your members will eventually mortify you.
How do you mortify your members, anu aya di bumi?
Lamun geus jadi putra Allah (Ieu manglaku pikeun lalaki sareng bikang), you shall no longer feed yourself with the things of this world that will arouse and strengthen the will, and the lusts and desires of your flesh.
You know the truth and the will of God and you will be careful with whom you associate with and the things you get involved with and what you do. You will be cautious about what you watch, what you listen to, naon maca, jsb.
When you stop feeding your flesh and subdue the flesh, then the lusts and desires of the flesh shall not be aroused and strengthened but shall die.
You mortify your members, which are upon the earth by reigning over your members and resisting them. You’re not giving in to what your will and the lusts and desires of your flesh want.
The new man is an obedient son of God
Tapi ayeuna ye ogé pareum sadaya ieu; amarah, amarah, niat jahat, pitenah, komunikasi kotor kaluar tina sungut anjeun. Bohong teu salah, Ningali ye parantos angkat tina lalaki kolot kalayan perbuatan na. Sarta geus ditunda lalaki anyar, nu renewed pangaweruh sanggeus gambar Anjeunna anu nyiptakeun manéhna: Dimana teu aya Yunani atanapi Yahudi, sunat teu sunat, Barbar, Scythian, beungkeut atawa bébas: tapi Kristus sadayana, sareng sadayana (Kolosa 3:8-11).
Besides mortifying the members, anu aya di bumi (cabul, najis, kasih sayang, konsciisciscence jahat, sareng covetousousness), you shall also put off anger, amarah, niat jahat, pitenah, komunikasi kotor kaluar tina sungut anjeun, because they don’t fit in the life of the new man (Baca ogé: Naon anu disebatkeun Alkitab ngeunaan lalaki kolot? jeung Kumaha mareuman lalaki kolot?).
The old man is a liar, just like his father the devil, but the new man is not a liar, but speaks the truth just like his Father. Therefore the new man shall not lie, despite the fact that in some countries lying is considered normal and is part of a culture.
The devil uses cultures to execute his destructive work and to keep the people in bondage to the beggarly elements of this world and sin and death and control the people so that they will do what the devil wants and the devil can build his throne (Baca ogé: tahta sétan)
Tapi kanyataanana, that every culture disappears in Christ. Both the old nature of fallen man as the culture disappears in Christ (Baca ogé: Unggal budaya ngaleungit dina Kristus)
There is no distinction in Christ
Pikeun ye sadayana barudak Allah ku iman di Kristus Yesus. Kanggo saloba anjeun sakumaha parantos dibaptis kana Kristus parantos nempatkeun sacara Kristus. Henteu aya urang Yahudi atanapi Yunani, teu aya beungkeut atanapi gratis, teu aya jalu teu bikang: pikeun anjeun sadaya hiji dina Kristus Yesus (Galata 3:26-28)
Tiwas bari loins pikiran anjeun, kang sasih, sareng harepan pikeun tungtung rahmat anu bakal dibawa ka anjeun dina wahyu Yesus Kristus; Salaku budak, henteu mode anjeun numutkeun kana tilas napsu dina jahiliah anjeun: Tapi sakumaha Anjeunna nu geus disebut anjeun suci, Janten ye suci dina sagala cara paguneman; Sabab geus ditulis, Janten ye suci; Kanggo kuring suci (1 Peter 1:13-16)
Ngaliwatan prosés kasucian, you shall renew your mind with the Word, put off the old man and put on the new man, anu diropéa dina kanyaho saatos gambar anjeunna anu nyiptakeun anjeunna, whereby there is neither Greek nor Jew, male nor female, sunat teu sunat, Barbar, Scythian, beungkeut atawa bébas, but Christ is all and in all.
