Hemen hemen her Hıristiyan Sodom ve Gomora'nın hikâyesine aşinadır ve Sodom ve Gomora'da neler olduğunu bilir.. Sodom sakinleri kötüydü ve Tanrı'ya karşı büyük günah işleyenlerdi. The sin in Sodom and Gomorrah was so grievous that the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah reached heaven. The Lord came to the earth to see if the people of Sodom had done according to the cry. In today’s world, the sins and iniquities abound and reign in many people’s life. Many people are grafted in the vine of Sodom and live in the fields of Gomorrah. Öyleyse, the earth mourns and cries and waits for the manifestations of the sons of God (İşaya 24:4-6, Yeremya 23:10, Hoşea 4:1-3, Romalılar 8:19).
The Lord revealed His plan for Sodom and Gomorrah
The Lord didn’t hide His plan regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, but He revealed His plan to Abraham. When Abraham heard about God’s plan and what would happen with Sodom and Gomorrah, he asked God for mercy. Abraham wanted to prevent that the righteous would perish with the wicked. Therefore he asked the Lord to spare Sodom if there would be 50 dürüst.
God granted Abraham’s request and promised Abraham to spare Sodom if there would be 50 dürüst. Then Abraham asked God if He would also spare the cities if there would be 45 dürüst. God promised Abraham again that He would spare the cities if there would be 45 dürüst. And so Abraham continued until he asked God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there would be 10 dürüst. And God promised Abraham to spare the cities if there would be 10 dürüst.
The angels went to Sodom
But since there were no 10 dürüst, God sent His angels, who came to the earth as men, to Sodom to fulfill His plan and destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. When the men arrived in Sodom, Lot sat in the gate. As soon as Lot saw the men, he rose up to meet them and bowed before them, with his face towards the ground.
Lot asked the men to come to his house and stay the night. But they didn’t accept his offer, because they wanted to abide in the street.
But Lot didn’t give up and he pressed upon them. Sonunda, the men gave in and went to his house.
Lot prepared a meal for the men. After their meal before they went to bed to lay down, the sin and iniquities were revealed in Sodom.
The men of Sodom, hem genç hem yaşlı, were evil and compassed the house of Lot. They came to get to know the men, who entered Lot’s house. They wanted to be intimate with the men. Which is an abomination to God (Ayrıca okuyun: What does the Word say about homosexuality?).
Bazı insanlar diyor ki, that the men of Sodom just wanted to ‘get to know’ the men and that this had nothing to do with sexual intimacy between men. Ama eğer bu doğruysa, then why did Lot offer his daughters? Since the men already knew the daughters of Lot. Fakat, they didn’t know his daughters in a sexual way and had not been intimate with them.
The angels had seen enough and they smote the men at the door of Lot’s house with blindness.
Saved from the destruction
The following morning, the angels took Lot, his wife and his two daughters and saved them from destruction. Lot’s son in laws stayed behind. Since they saw Lot as one that mocked and didn’t believe that Sodom would be destroyed.
Although Lot, his wife and daughters were saved from destruction, not all of them arrived at their destination. Yolculuk sırasında, Lot’s wife changed into a pillar of salt, because she didn’t obey God’s commandment to not look behind her. Bu bize gösteriyor, that someone can be saved from destruction, but it depends on a person’s obedience to God, whether a person stay saved or not (Ayrıca okuyun: Bir kez kaydedildiğinde her zaman kaydedilir).
The mischief and destruction, which Sodom and Gomorrah brought upon themselves
Seyretmek, Bu senin kız kardeşin sodom'un haksızlığıydı, gurur, doluluk of bread, ve boşluk bolluğu onun içindeydi ve kızlarında, Yoksulların ve muhtaçların elini de güçlendirmedi. Ve onlar kibirli idi, ve benden önce iğrenç bir iğrenç: Bu yüzden iyi gördüğümde onları götürdüm (Ezekiel 16:49-50)
The inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah had brought their own mischief and destruction upon themselves, by going their own way and separate themselves from God and His Word and do all those things that were an abomination to God.
They had no knowledge and understanding of God and didn’t know Onun düşünceleri ve Onun yolları. Yerine, they relied on their own knowledge, bilgelik, anlayış, ve içgörüler. They were full of pride, haughty and selfish. While they lived in comfort and abundance, they didn’t look after the poor and needy and didn’t strengthen them. They were haughty and committed abominations, which eventually caused the Lord to destroy them.
The vine of Sodom and the fields of Gomorrah
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps (Tesniye 32:28-33 Read also the whole chapter 32)
Many churches are grafted into the vine of Sodom and live in the fields of Gomorrah. Instead that the churches bend her roots to God and live and act from the living Source Jesus Christ, many churches have bent her roots towards another source.
Therefore many churches don’t belong to the Kingdom of God anymore, but to the kingdom of darkness; dünya.
They are not grafted into the Vine of Jesus Christ by faith through yenilenme and don’t live from Him, but they are grafted into the vine of Sodom and live from the vine of Sodom.
Therefore many believers bear the same fruit as the people of Sodom.
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto Me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to hearth (Yeremya 12:20-22)
Many pastors, who are responsible for the spiritual state of the church and should have taken care of the believers by feeding them with the truth of God and disciplining and correcting them, so that they will stay in God’s way of righteousness and walk in His will, have failed.
They have left the fear of the Lord and have departed from the truth of God and relied on their own knowledge, bilgelik, ve anlayış. Through their liberal ideas, içgörü, Görüş, and philosophies they have led many believers astray.
Instead of taking care of the vineyard of God, they have destroyed the vineyard of God and changed it into a wilderness, like the vineyards of Gomorrah.
Tanrı'nın lütfuyla, you may enter His Kingdom
Tanrı'nın lütfuyla, you may enter the Kingdom of God, by faith in Jesus Christ and by yeniden doğmak O'nda. Ama Tanrı'nın lütfu is not a free letter and doesn’t give permission to live as the generation of fallen man and keep living in sin.
As long as you live as the düşmüş adam nesli, yaşlı adam olarak, your life and the things you do prove that nothing has changed and you are not saved, but that you still belong to the generation of fallen man.
diyebilirsin, that you believe and that you are born again, but your actions, başka bir deyişle, senin eserlerin, say and prove something else.
Because if you are truly born again in Jesus Christ, then a transformation has taken place in the spiritual realm.
sen hayırsın. longer a son of the devil and don’t belong to the kingdom of darkness and to the generation of fallen man anymore. But you have become a son of God and have Tanrı'nın Krallığına girdi and belong to the generation of the new man. Tanrı'nın bir oğlu olarak, you shall no longer walk as a son of the devil.
Since you are taken from the vine of Sodom and grafted into the true Vine; İsa Mesih, you shall no longer bear the fruit of the flesh, but you shall bear the Ruhun meyvesi.
What are the fruits in someone’s life?
When someone claims to be a Christian and visits a church, but keeps doing the works of the flesh and keeps living in rebellion and disobedience to God, and doing those things, Tanrı'ya iğrenç olan, then the person still belongs to the generation of the old man and is still grafted into the vine of Sodom.
Because of the fact that the person is still grafted in the vine of Sodom, death still reigns in the life of the person and therefore the person bears the fruit of death, hangisi günah.
The person keeps doing those things, which the devil loves, but are an abomination to God and go against Onun iradesi.
The person may be friendly and nice to people, and do charity work, but that doesn’t prove if the person is a Christian.
Maybe it convinces the world and the carnal Christians, who don’t read and study the Word and don’t apply the words of God to their lives and don’t have an experiential relationship with Jesus Christ, but are led by the carnal knowledge and wisdom of the world and by their own insights, duyular, duygular, ve duygular.
But born again Christians, who walk after the Spirit in obedience to God and His Word, know the will of God and discern the spirits, and therefore they shall not be fooled.
Only when you deal with the death, who reigns in the flesh andeti çarmıha germek through regeneration in Jesus Christ, you no longer belong to the death and are no longer a servant to death. You shall no longer obey the death and bear the fruit of death, hangisi günah. Because your spirit has been raised from the death and the life of God and His nature dwells in you. Öyleyse, you shall bear the fruit of righteousness.
Ağacı meyvelerinden tanıyacaksınız
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. Çünkü insanlar dikenlerden incir toplamazlar, ne de böğürtlen çalılarından üzüm topluyorlar. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luka 6:43-45)
İsa diyor ki, that you shall know the tree by its fruits. Ve bu hala geçerli. The Bible reveals to us the truth of God and exposes the lies of the devil. Onlar, who are born again in Jesus Christ and belong to Him shall serve Him and the Father through obedience.
Söze itaat yoluyla, içeri gireceksin Aşk ve taşı Ruhun meyvesi.
Senin Tanrı'ya itaat proves that you love Jesus and the Father above all and the fruit of the Spirit proves that you belong to Him and live in Him.
As long as someone keeps living in rebellion against God and keeps sinning and even approves and endorses sin, then the person is still grafted into the vine of Sodom.
Bu dünyanın hükümdarı, Şeytan, is his father and master. Therefore he obeys him by walking after his will and his nature, causing him to bear the fruit of death, hangisi günah.
Bu yüzden Allah onları kötü arzulara teslim etti.: çünkü kadınları bile doğal kullanımı doğaya aykırı bir şeye dönüştürdüler: Ve aynı şekilde erkekler de, kadının doğal kullanımını bırakmak, birbirlerine olan şehvetleriyle yandılar; yakışıksız işlerde çalışan erkeklerle erkekler, ve yaptıkları hatanın karşılığını kendi içlerinde alıyorlar. Ve Tanrı'yı bilgilerinde tutmaktan hoşlanmadıkları halde, Tanrı onları günahkar bir akla teslim etti, uygun olmayan şeyleri yapmak; Tüm haksızlıklarla dolu olmak, zina, kötülük, açgözlülük, kötü niyetlilik; kıskançlıkla dolu, cinayet, çekişme, aldatma, Kötücül hastalık; fısıldayanlar, Gıybet edenler, Allah'tan nefret edenler, kibirli, gurur duymak, övünenler, kötü şeylerin mucitleri, anne babaya itaat etmeyen, Anlamadan, anlaşmayı bozanlar, doğal sevgi olmadan, amansız, merhametsiz: Allah'ın hükmünü kim bilebilir?, bu tür şeyleri yapanların ölümü hak ettikleri, sadece aynısını yapmakla kalmayıp, ama bunları yapanlardan zevk alın (Romalılar 1:26-32)
Asi çocukların vay haline, Rab dedi, öğüt alan, ama benden değil; ve bir kaplama ile bu kapak, ama Benim Ruhumdan değil, günah üstüne günah eklesinler diye: Mısır'a inmek için yapılan bu yürüyüş, ve ağzıma sormadım; Firavun'un gücüyle kendilerini güçlendirmek, ve Mısır'ın gölgesine güvenmek! Bu yüzden Firavun'un gücü senin utancın olacak, ve Mısır'ın gölgesine duyulan güven kafa karışıklığınız (İşaya 30:1-3)
Allah'ın adaleti
Sodom and Gomorrah are mentioned several times in the Bible as an example for those who live ungodly and to show God’s righteousness and His judgment (Ah. 2 Peter 2:6-10, Yastık 1:4-7).
When the fear of God and the submission to God and an experiential relationship with Him is no longer present, and the people have left the way of righteousness, then sin and iniquities shall abound and reign in the lives of the people, just like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Let he which is filthy, let him be filthy still and he that is holy, let him be holy still
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still (Vahiy 22:11)
Bir çağda yaşıyoruz, in which the people who are righteous be righteous still, and therefore those, who are holy will be holy still, and in which the people, who are unjust will be unjust still and therefore those, who are filthy, will be filthy still.
Gurur, bencillik, isyan, itaatsizlik, sadakatsizlik, kanunsuzluk, şehvet, kin, varyans, öykünmeler, gazap, çekişme, isyanlar, sapkınlıklar, kıskançlıklar, pis iletişim, küfür, uzanmak, sarhoşluk, eğlenceler, putperestlik, cadılık, zina, zina, cinsel kirli olma, şiddet, cinayetler, ve saire. abound and reign in the lives of many people.
What used to be unthinkable has become very normal. Fakat, all these carnal works and these iniquities already took place in the Old and New Testament. In both the Old and the New Testament, Tanrı, isa, and the Holy Spirit have made known the Tanrı'nın iradesi regarding these carnal works and uncleanness.
God is a clear and transparent God and Father. He didn’t hide anything and didn’t keep any secrets, but God revealed everything, that the people should know, Onun sözüyle.
Those believers, who don’t read and study His Word don’t know Him. They are not familiar with His will, Onun düşünceler ve Onun yollar.
Onlar değil İsa Mesih'te sünnet, ile laying down the flesh, and therefore they are not grafted into Him, but they are still grafted in the vine of Sodom and live in the fields of Gomorrah.
They don’t do what the Word says, but they go their own way, just like the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, and therefore their wages will be the same.
