Naha Gusti ngijinkeun ieu kajadian? Naha Allah henteu ngalakukeun hiji hal? Jeung naha teu Allah dudung jalma ieu? Naha Allah ngidinan jalma ieu maot? Naha Allah ngidinan bencana alam jeung perang? Upami Gusti leres-leres aya, why doesn’t God…? People tend to forget God when everything goes well. But as soon as people experience setbacks, tragedy, or something goes wrong or terrible happens in their lives or the world that’s not according to their will, they hold God responsible and blame God for it. The world not only blames God, but also God’s children blame God. Many Christians blame God for their problems, miseries, and what’s going on in the world and hold God responsible. But if Christians would stop blaming God, ngadoa, Maca sareng diajar Alkitab, they would get to know (the heart of) their Father and find out they are completely wrong.
Many Christians force God to submit to their will
Many times Christians speak disrespectfully about God. They speak as if God is some kind of everyday friend, Who must submit to their will and serve and obey them.
The fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of all wisdom, is often lacking in the lives of Christians.
The fear of the Lord has nothing to do with being afraid of God. But the fear of the Lord means that you have awe and respect for the Almighty God, WHO nyiptakeun langit jeung bumi sareng sadayana aya di jero.
If the spirit of Christians would mature and if they would get to know their Father, ngalangkungan Yesus Kristus (kecap), then their attitude and behavior towards God would be different.
Instead of complaining to God and blaming God and constantly asking why, they would have spiritual knowledge and insights. They would be mature and act mature and know the cause.
If Christians were mature, they would stop whining and complaining and blaming God and asking why.
The toddler’s ‘why stage’
Aya seueur Kristen, who behave like toddlers in the ‘why stage’. As soon as something happens or if parents, or other people, say something or tell them to do something, the toddlers immediately ask ‘why’.
Even when toddlers receive the answer, they ask why. Luckily, this stage will not last forever, but will only be temporary. Ku kituna, you would think that this is also the case with Christians. Tapi henteu, many Christians never leave this ‘why stage’.
Sareng éta sanés sadayana! They not only keep asking why but they keep also blaming God for all the misery that is going on both in their lives and the world.
Why are people blaming God?
It’s the same behavior as the carnal people of Israel. The people of Israel kept whining, ngawadul, blaming God, and asking why to God when they didn’t receive what they wanted.
The people were blaming God for all their misery and what they lacked in life. They were not thankful to God for all the things that God had done for them. They were not grateful for their salvation, His guidance, panyalindungan, jeung rezeki(s) in the wilderness.
Jalma-jalma henteu ningali, that due to their own words and behavior, aranjeunna brought the mischief upon themselves (i.e. Exodus 14:12; 32:31, Angka 14:1-4; 17:10-13; 21:5). No, they blamed God for their mischief. They blamed God for all those things they lacked, nurutkeun aranjeunna.
kabiasaan ieu teh lalaki heubeul carnal teu robah. Loba Kristen tetep hirup salaku lalaki carnal heubeul jeung masih ngalepatkeun Allah.
loba urang Kristen anu dilolongan ku bohong ti Iblis
Mayoritas urang Kristen méakkeun teuing waktos fokus kana cukang lantaranana jeung nanya naha, tinimbang solusi. Gusti parantos masihan ciptaan anyar sadayana anu diperyogikeun. Gusti parantos masihan sadaya kakuatan pikeun ngarengsekeun masalah atanapi ngalangkungan kaayaan anu tangtu dina kahirupan. The kreasi anyar boga sagalana, nu diperlukeun dunya.
Upami anjeun parantos janten ciptaan anyar, teras anjeun parantos dipasihan sadaya otoritas sareng kakawasaan dina Yesus Kristus pikeun ngurus masalah sareng nyebat hal-hal anu henteu saolah-olah éta..
Sanajan kitu, lamun anjeun masih lalaki carnal heubeul tur unspiritual, jeung teu nyaho saha anjeun in Jesus Christ and what you have received and possess in Him and Who dwells inside of you, then you can’t walk in it.
Éta alesanana, the devil tries to keep you as far away from the Bible as possible. So that you stay ignorant and won’t become a threat to his kingdom and he can go his way.
Why is there so much misery? Sabab putra-putra Allah (Ieu manglaku pikeun lalaki sareng bikang) don’t live according to the words and the will of God.
They don’t do what Jesus commanded them to do and don’t walk in righteousness.
Many Christians are tempted and blinded by the lies of the devil. They stay carnal and focused on themselves and their lives, kamakmuran, and wealth instead of the Kingdom of God.
Christians close their eyes to the spiritual war
Seueur urang Kristen henteu sadar sareng ngaku yén aya perang spiritual anu lumangsung antara Karajaan Allah. (nu Caang) jeung karajaan Iblis (gelap) .
Aranjeunna nutup panon maranéhanana sarta teu hayang ngaku yén maranéhna kudu nungkulan musuh Allah, nu Iblis jeung karajaan-Na.
Iblis nyaéta musuh Allah jeung maranéhanana, anu dilahirkeun deui dina Kristus sareng kagungan Allah sareng putra-Na. Putra-putra Allah sanés deui putra-putra sétan tapi parantos janten musuh sétan. Putra-putra Allah henteu hirup deui saatosna kahayang Iblis tapi sanggeus kersa Allah.
Tapi salami anjeun teu ngaku yen anjeun boga musuh, atanapi upami anjeun nganggap yén Iblis dielehkeun kusabab padamelan di salib sahingga henteu ngagaduhan kakuatan sareng kamampuan sahingga henteu aktip deui, mangka anjeun salah!
Kristen kudu timbul jeung tarung dina perang spiritual
Yesus memang geus manja sagala principalities jeung kakuatan. Anjeunna ngadamel a némbongkeun aranjeunna kabuka sarta triumphed leuwih aranjeunna di salib. Ngaliwatan jadian-Na ti nu maraot Yesus ngéléhkeun Iblis jeung nyokot konci maot jeung Kadés (Kolosa 2:13-15, Wahyu 1:18).
Sanajan kitu, Iblis masih hadir tur aktip. Anjeunna masih mibanda kamampuhan pikeun neruskeun karya destructive na. Kusabab Iblis henteu dialungkeun ka lautan seuneu anu langgeng (Wahyu 20:10).
Saur Alkitab, yén urang masih kudu ngalawan kapangéranan, ngalawan kakuatan, ngalawan pamaréntahan gelap dunya ieu, sareng jahat spiritual di tempat anu luhur (Efesians 6:12)
Sétan masih ngurilingan siga singa anu ngagero, milarian saha waé anu tiasa didahar.
Sétan tetep maéhan, maok, jeung ngancurkeun, samentawis seuseueurna urang Kristen parantos nutup ceuli sareng leumpang ngurilingan panonna dina gelap sareng ngantepkeun Iblis neraskeun karya-karya anu cilaka..
Sadayana sabab urang Kristen henteu terang kana alat-alatna sareng henteu terang Firman.
Aranjeunna darkened dina pikiran maranéhanana. Sanajan boga ceuli jeung panon, maranehna teu ngadenge jeung teu ningali. Éta naha maranéhna teu eureun Iblis. (Baca ogé: Naha gereja ningali atanapi buta?).
Gantina eureun sétan, aranjeunna ngidinan anjeunna jeung minions na (sétan) pikeun balik jalan maranéhanana sarta nuluykeun karya destructive maranéhanana. Aranjeunna henteu ngan ukur ngantepkeun aranjeunna neraskeun karya-karya anu ngarusak, tapi maranéhna malah mantuan manéhna. Kumaha? Ku ngidinan, menerkeun, sareng nyatujuan hal-hal anu nentang kersa Gusti.
Naha urang Kristen henteu ngaku anu nyababkeun sagala musibah?
Urang Kristen ningali kanaékan dosa, pemberontakan, buruk, maksiat seksual, (séksual, domestik) kekerasan, kejahatan, perang, Bencana alam, kalaparan, jeung kasangsaraan, tapi maranéhna teu ngaku pangaruh, dianggo, jeung kakawasaan setan.
Éta ogé henteu ningali éta kusabab kecap sareng karyana, aranjeunna geus mawa kasangsaraan kana diri. Alatan kedul maranéhanana jeung ku henteu nurut kana firman Allah jeung ngalakonan naon anu diparentahkeun ku Allah ka maranehna., tapi gantina hirup kawas dunya jeung tolerating karya Iblis, aranjeunna mawa kalakuan jahat kana diri sorangan.
Gantina nyalahkeun Iblis sareng ngeureunkeun anjeunna sareng / atanapi nganggap dirina salaku anu sanés, anu tanggung jawab mess dina kahirupan maranéhanana jeung dunya sahingga tobat tina walk carnal maranéhanana anu opposes bakal Allah, aranjeunna nyalahkeun Allah pikeun sagala buruk, masalah, jeung kasangsaraan, jeung tanggung jawab Allah.
Dunya teu robah, tapi murtad geus ngaronjat
Dina Kitab Wahyu, urang maca ngeunaan poé ahir jaman ahir, di mana urang hirup. Urang maca ngeunaan vials tina murka Allah (Wahyu 16), nu pikareueuseun. Tapi sanajan sagala musibah jeung sagalana nu bakal datang, Kalakuan Allah téh adil (Wahyu 16:7; 19:2).
Sagala hal anu lumangsung di bumi jeung bakal lumangsung di bumi dina mangsa nu bakal datang, mangrupa hasil karya jalma, anu geus ngadéngékeun kabohongan sétan.
Dunya teu robah, tapi murtad ti Allah geus ngaronjat. Ieu geus jadi katempo dina rusuh di bumi. Hal alus geus jadi jahat. Jeung hal jahat geus jadi alus.
Geus waktuna pikeun urang Kristen hudang, eureun nyalahkeun Gusti, jeung tanggung jawab
Éta pisan sababna naha éta waktu eureun nanyakeun ka Allah naha. Eureun nyalahkeun Gusti pikeun masalah sareng kasangsaraan. Tanggung jawab kana sagala masalah sareng kasangsaraan, anu disababkeun ku toleransi, teu paduli, jeung buta tina Kristen lukewarm.
Geus waktuna, yén urang Kristen janten leres-leres dilahirkeun deui, jeung tumuwuh nepi di Kristus dina gambar Allah. Urang Kristen kedah ngaku yén aranjeunna nuju nyanghareupan musuh, sétan, anu masih ngarambat unggal dinten. Salami Kristen anu dilolongan jeung saré kusabab carnality maranéhanana, Iblis bisa neruskeun karya destructive na.
Geus waktuna, yén urang Kristen milarian kahirupan maranéhanana, naha maranéhna kénéh dina iman jeung hirup nurutkeun Firman Allah.
Sareng upami henteu, tobat sarta balik deui ka Anjeunna, sarta nyandak deui taneuh maranéhanana sarta ngalawan kakuatan jahat tina gelap.
Geus waktuna anjeun meunang nagara anjeun deui pikeun Karajaan Allah. Nu ngawakilan jeung ngadegkeun Karajaan Allah di bumi, tinimbang compromising jeung dosa, teu pikaresepeun, pangaweruh jeung filosofi manusa, jeung agama sejenna.
Sababaraha kali, Kristen carnal jeung humanis nyebutkeun, yén urang sadaya ngawula ka Allah sarua. Tapi éta bohong ti Iblis, anu ngabalukarkeun loba Kristen sesat. Urang Kristen ngawula ka Allah Ibrahim, Araac, sareng Yakub (Israel).
Kristen ngawula Rama Yesus Kristus, Gusti Nu Maha Kawasa, anu kaluar tina asih-Na hébat masihan Putra-Na sorangan, WHO sumping dina daging janten Pangganti pikeun fallen man jeung nyieun fallen man di Anjeunna kana hiji ciptaan anyar; putra Allah.
Taya sahijieun bisa datang ka Rama ti ngaliwatan Yesus Kristus; Putrana, ku iman sareng regenerasi di Kristus. Yesus mangrupikeun hiji-hijina Jalan ka Bapa. Tanpa iman ieu sareng dilahirkeun deui jalma leungit sareng angkat ka naraka.
Urang Kristen kedah ngadoa sapertos teu aya anu sanés ngadoa
Ku kituna, tibatan toleran sareng kompromi sareng dunya, Geus waktuna putra-putra Allah bangkit sareng henteu ngan ukur percanten kana bebeneran ieu tapi ogé leumpang dina bebeneran ieu. Kristen kudu ngahutbah bebeneran Yesus Kristus jeung Karya redemptive-Na di salib ka rahayat. Kusabab tanpa kecap maranéhanana, loba jiwa bakal leungit. Jeung urang Kristen bakal dilaksanakeun akuntabel pikeun getih maranéhanana saméméh Allah Nu Maha Kawasa dina Poé kiamat.
Ku kituna, teu fokus kana diri jeung masalah samping dina kahirupan. Tapi milarian hal-hal anu aya di luhur sareng fokus kana hal-hal Karajaan Allah. Jadi taat kana kecap Yesus jeung ngalakukeun naon Yesus geus maréntahkeun anjeun ngalakukeun. Méakkeun waktos dina Firman-Na sareng doa, ku kituna anjeun bakal dibere nyaho bakal-Na jeung neneda jeung leumpang nurutkeun bakal-Na.
Ulah menta, tapi paréntah dina otoritas Yesus Kristus jeung ngumumkeun wasiat Allah! Ulah nempo kaayaan anjeun, masalah, sareng halangan. Ulah dipingpin ku aranjeunna, tapi dipingpin ku Firman jeung Roh Suci, tur teruskeun. Tetep nangtung dina Firman sareng nyauran hal-hal anu henteu, saolah-olah aranjeunna, sarta ulah nyerah!
Neneda kawas euweuh batur solat, jeung mangsa nu bakal datang gumantung kana Anjeun bongan. Percanten, yén naon anu anjeun nyarios anjeun nampi. Nyarioskeun wasiat-Na sareng tuangkeun padamelan gelap, ku kecap sareng karya anjeun. Nyarios ngeunaan kahirupan jalma sareng daérah, naon anu kudu lumangsung. Jadina, Anjeun ngadegkeun Karajaan Allah di bumi sareng jiwa-jiwa moal leungit, tapi disimpen jeung meunang pikeun Yesus Kristus jeung Karajaan Allah.
