У Посланні до Римлян 8:10, Павло писав, If Christ is in you, тіло мертве через гріх; але Дух є життям через праведність. Що мав на увазі Павло?? Як дізнатися, чи є Христос у вас? What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ in you?
When do you belong to Christ?
When you have become a new creation in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, you belong to Christ.
By faith in Jesus Christ and through regeneration in Him, ти став сином Божим (це стосується як чоловіків, так і жінок). Your flesh has died in Jesus Christ and your spirit that was dead has been raised from the dead by the power of God and has become alive.
If your flesh with its sinful nature has died, it means that it is dead and no longer lives. тому, Коли ти знову народишся, you shall no longer be controlled and led by your flesh in which the sinful nature reigns.
Тіло не може догодити Богові
Тому що тілесний розум – це ворожнеча проти Бога: бо воно не підлягає закону Божому, І справді не може бути. Отже, ті, що в тілі, не можуть догодити Богові (римляни 8:7-8)
Since sin reigns in the flesh because of the sinful nature, the flesh can’t please God. The flesh has the nature of the devil and rebels against God and always wants to do those things, що йдуть проти волі Божої (Читайте також: Боротьба і слабкість старого і Воля Бога проти волі диявола).
Ось чому Ісус повинен був прийти на землю, to deal with the sinful nature of (впав) man that is present in the flesh.
Ісус прийшов у подобі людини, so that Jesus could become the Substitute for (впав) людство (Читайте також: Був Ісусом повністю людським?’ і "Ісус відновив становище занепалої людини).
If your flesh has been crucified in Christ and is dead, you shall no longer walk after the flesh in the dominion of the sinful nature. Therefore sin shall no longer reign in your life anymore.
Your flesh has died; тому, you shall no longer live after the flesh and be led by the impulses from the world; the kingdom of darkness that causes your flesh to do things, that go against God’s will and cause you to keep sinning and persevere in sin.
The old man is led by the flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness
Перед вами Покаялися and became a new creation in Jesus Christ, you were led by your flesh in which sin reigns and controlled by the kingdom of darkness and the will of the devil.
Your mind (ваші думки), відчуття, почуття, емоції, воля, and the lusts and desires of your flesh reigned in your life and dictated you what to do and you obeyed them (Ефесян 2:1-7).
Але зараз, that you have become a new creation and your flesh has died in Jesus Christ, you shall no longer be led by your flesh and controlled by the kingdom of darkness that causes you to persevere in sin. You shall no longer walk as a раб плоті and live in the bondage of the flesh and sin and death.
Як дізнатися, чи є в тобі Ісус Христос?
But you are not in the flesh, але в Дусі, якщо так, щоб Дух Божий жив у вас. А коли хто не має Духа Христа, він не Його. And if Christ is in you, тіло мертве через гріх; але Дух є життям через праведність (римляни 8:9-10)
тому, брати, Ми є боржниками, не до плоті, жити за плоттю. Бо якщо ви живете за тілом, Ви помрете: але якщо ви через Духа умертвляєте вчинки тіла, Ви будете жити. Бо всі, кого веде Дух Божий, вони є синами Божими (римляни 8:12-14)
If through regeneration, Jesus Christ is in you by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ really lives inside of you and is seated upon the throne of your life, then this will become visible by the way you live.
You shall no longer live under the dominion of sin and death, and therefore habitually persevere in sin. You shall no longer do those things which go against the will of God and Jesus (Читайте також: Заповіді Божі та заповіді Ісуса).
As long as you live after the flesh in непослух Богові і робити ці речі, which don’t please God but instead please the devil, then this shows that the flesh is still alive and reigns in your life and nothing has changed.
But if you really have become a new creation and Jesus Christ is in you, you shall live after the will of God; the will of the Word. You shall be led by the Word and the Holy Spirit and therefore you shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to God. The Spirit shall have dominion and reign in your life.
Is lying not a bad thing?
This means for example, that when you have a conversation with someone and during that conversation, a thought of a lie (or a white lie) спадає на думку, that releases you a.o. from your responsibility, you can do two things.
You can either walk after the flesh, by listening to this thought, which derives from the flesh that is controlled by the kingdom of darkness and ensures that when you bow for this thought and obey this thought you will lie and not speak the truth and therefore do the will of the devil.
Or you can walk after the Spirit, by taking this thought captive in Jesus Christ; слово, Хто каже, that you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, але ти будеш говорити правду, and follow and obey the Word, and reject this thought and speak the truth, незважаючи на наслідки.
Because if you have become a son of God and you belong to God and received His nature and Jesus Christ lives in you by the Holy Spirit, then you shall speak the truth, just like your Father.
Does sin lead to eternal life?
As long as you keep doing the works of the old man and walk after the flesh in sins and iniquities, then this proves that your flesh is not crucified in Jesus Christ, but that sin, which is the fruit of death, still reigns in your life.
As long as the flesh is still alive, you shall live in bondage and be controlled by the sinful nature of fallen man and belong to the devil. Грішна природа, which is present in the flesh shall reign in your life and shall keep you in the bondage of sin.
The Word says that sin leads to death and not to eternal life. тому, it does matter how you live after you become born again (Читайте також: Після врятування завжди врятовано?)
The only way to be redeemed from the dominion of the devil and the sinful nature and to be reconciled with God is through faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (Читайте також Ти не помреш, якщо продовжуєш гріх?).
Does the Spirit of Christ live in you?
Отже, це звістка, яку ми чули від Нього, і оголосити вам, що Бог є світло, і в Ньому немає жодної темряви. Якщо ми кажемо, що ми маємо спілкування з Ним, і ходити в темряві, ми брешемо, і не правда: Але якщо ми ходимо у світлі, як Він у світлі, ми маємо спільність один з одним, і кров Ісуса Христа, Його Сина, очищає нас від усякого гріха (1 Джон 1:5-7)
Але ви не в тілі, але в Дусі, якщо так, щоб Дух Божий жив у вас. А коли хто не має Духа Христа, він не Його (римляни 8:9)
Бо всі, кого веде Дух Божий, вони є синами Божими (римляни 8:14)
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, що ми діти Божі (римляни 8:16)
Ми знаємо, що кожен, хто народився від Бога, не грішить; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not (1 Джон 5:18)
Слово говорить, that if you have received the Spirit of Christ, you belong to God. Therefore if you have not received the Spirit of Christ, you don’t belong to Him.
If Jesus Christ is in you, через перебування Святого Духа, ви повинні любити Його, Слухай його, і дотримуватися його заповідей. You shall follow Him by obeying Him; the Word and walk after the Spirit in righteousness; після волі Божої.
Якщо ви йти за Ісусом and walk after the Spirit in righteousness, sin shall no longer have dominion and shall no longer reign as king in your life. You shall no longer live in the bondage of the закон гріха і смерті, which reigns in the flesh of the old man. But you shall reign in Christ as king and have dominion over sin and through the Spirit, you shall kill the deeds of the flesh and live in the freedom of Christ.
