Коли людина вирішила послухати змія і не послухалася заповіді Божої, людина втратила своє духовне становище сина Божого, whereby the peace between man and God was broken and man lost his dominion to the devil. The devil not only took God’s place, by becoming the father of fallen man, but also the place and dominion of man, who was God’s son and appointed as ruler on earth. The devil became the ruler and god of this world and the father of fallen man. Всі, who would be born on earth would enter his dominion, be his child, come under his authority, and live in obedience to him. Проте, God prophesied about the coming of Jesus Christ, Who would restore the position of fallen man and the peace between fallen man and God. Let’s look at how Jesus restored the peace between fallen man and God.
Jesus Christ restored the peace between fallen man and God and the position of fallen man
В Буття 3:15, Бог сказав, He would put enmity between him (диявол) і жінка. Between his seed (впала людина) and her Seed (Ісус). Насіння жінки (Ісус Христос) would bruise the devil’s head and the devil would bruise His heel.
God referred to the coming of Jesus Christ, Його відкупна робота на хресті, Його кров, і воскресіння з мертвих. Whereby Jesus took the devil’s authority (ключі) and restored fallen man’s position and the peace between fallen man and God.
As mentioned in the article ‘Який мир приніс Ісус на землю', Jesus didn’t come to bring a peace as the world defines peace.
Jesus came to restore what was broken and disturbed in the spiritual realm. This was the relationship between God and man, and fallen man’s position. Jesus came not only to restore but also to give back the authority and dominion over the earth, which God originally gave to man but was taken by the devil, to the new man.
The generation of the new man is born of the Seed
Бог дав кожному, who is born on earth and belongs to the generation of fallen man, the ability to become a new creation (Нова людина) через Ісуса Христа.
Тих, who by faith in Christ, are born again in Him belong to the generation of the new man.
The generation of the new man is delivered from the power of the devil, Гріх, and death through the crucifixion of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead.
Хто визволив нас від влади темряви, і перевів нас у царство Свого дорогого Сина: In Whomwe have redemption through His blood, навіть прощення гріхів (Колосяни 1:13-14)
Через регенерацію в Христі, Старий (впала людина), хто належить світу (темрява) becomes the Нова людина. The new man is transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God, where Jesus reigns.
Через регенерацію в Христі, God redeemed you from your sins. God forgave all your sins!
The new man has become a son of God (як самці, так і самки) and belongs to the Kingdom of God. Через це духовне перетворення, the new man has become an enemy of the devil and his seed (покоління занепалої людини).
The enmity in the seed of the devil
The new man is born of the Seed of God and no longer an enemy of God. But the new man has become an enemy of the devil and his seed (his children).
Jesus took the enmity against God, that is present in the seed of the devil; впала людина, на себе. Jesus carried it in His flesh on the cross and took away the enmity between God and fallen man.
Why is the carnal mind enmity against God?
The carnal mind is enmity against God because it is not subject to the law of God. The old man has the nature of the devil, including his enmity against God. As long as the старик is not born again in Christ and doesn’t renew his mind зі словом Божим, he stays carnal and has the mind of the world and walks after the flesh according to the course of this world.
Плотський 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)
The old man is darkened in his mind and shall not be able to submit to God and walk in His will and please Him.
Тих, who are born in the flesh and aren’t born again in the Spirit in Christ are sons of the devil and belong to him.
Вони грішники, who have the nature of the devil and listen to him and obey him. Therefore they shall live after the flesh and persevere in sin.
They’re rebellious and live, так само, як їхній батько, in enmity with God. They don’t listen and submit to God’s will. Замість цього, they are prideful and do what they want to do.
Люди, who have not laid down their lives and won’t submit to God’s will, don’t belong to Him. They still belong to the devil according to the Bible (Ой. Матвій 10:39; 16:25; 19:29, Марк 8:35, Люк 9:24; 17:33, Джон 5:24; 6:47; 8:44; 10:25-30, 1 Джон 3:8-10).
Unregenerated people live in enmity with God
Народ, who don’t belong to God (через Христа), don’t live in peace with God, but live in enmity with God.
Ось чому, the peace of God is not present in their lives. They’re worried, схвильований, Депресії, підкреслив, full of fear, and unforgiveness which leads to angriness and bitterness. They’re pressed down, depressive, and constantly accused in their mind and live under condemnation (Ісая 48:22; 57:21).
God established the spiritual laws in the universe
People can accept and approve of all evil (Гріх), який Бог відкрив і написаний у Біблії. But God created the spiritual laws, which are established forever in the universe and always apply. No one can change anything about the spiritual laws. (Читайте також: Слово Боже врегульоване назавжди).
Бог був (і досі є) so loving, that He revealed these spiritual laws in the Old Covenant to His carnal people, by giving His word and Law, який представляє Його волю.
God wrote them on Таблички з каменю, which represented the heart of the old carnal man. Because God wanted His commandments, яка представляла Його волю, to be written in the heart of the old man. So that His people were familiar with His will and Його думки and keep His way.
God’s great love towards man became even more visible by keeping His promise of the coming of Jesus Christ and the restoration of fallen man, through the process of regeneration of the new creation; нова людина.
Jesus broke down the middle wall of partition
Тому виправдавшись вірою, ми маємо мир з Богом через Господа нашого Ісуса Христа: Через Якого ми вірою маємо доступ до цієї благодаті, в якій стоїмо, і тіштеся надією на славу Божу (римляни 5:1-2)
By sending His Son Jesus Christ, who was the Первісток нового творіння, and by His work at the cross, Його жертва і Його кров, і воскресіння з мертвих, God gave man the opportunity to be reconciled with Him in Christ, відкладаючи плоть, which has the nature of the devil, including the enmity with God, і воскресіння духа з мертвих. (Читайте також: У чому ж справжнє значення хреста?).
That’s the peace, that Jesus brought on earth, besides preaching and bringing the Kingdom of God to God’s people.
Jesus came and restored the peace between God and man and fallen man’s position as a son of God and gave back his dominion on earth (Колосяни 1:20, Євреїв 13:20-21).
Бо Він наш мир, Хто зробив обох одним, і зруйнував середню стіну між нами; Скасувавши в Своїй плоті ворожнечу, навіть закон заповідей, що міститься в обрядах; щоб зробити в Собі з двох одну нову людину, так укладаючи мир; І щоб Він міг примирити обох з Богом в одному тілі через хрест, убивши тим самим ворожнечу: І прийшов, і благовіщав мир вам, що були вдалині, і тим, що були поруч. Бо через Нього ми обоє в одному Дусі маємо доступ до Отця (Ефесян 2:14-18)
The new man can’t be raised from the dead unless the old man dies
Проте, the new man can not be raised from the dead, unless the old man dies. As long as the old man stays alive, man has the devil’s nature and walks according to it. Man shall be led by his carnal mind, відчуття, почуття, емоції, and the will, похоті, і бажання плоті. Через це, the old man is not able to submit to God’s will, що написано в Біблії. But the old man lives in rebellion against God.
As long as the old man reigns and perseveres in sins, the person shall not experience the peace of God.
No matter how many times the person goes to church, is helpful towards others, займається благодійністю, gives alms, walks in the false love світу, reads the Bible and prays, тощо.
It shall not matter. Бо, in the eyes of God, all these works will be considered vain.
The person shall have peace with the world, but shall not have peace with God.
Через те, що, that many people don’t know what truly happened at the cross and don’t have the mind of Christ and the Holy Spirit abiding in them, багато людей, including those who claim to be Christians, don’t have peace, but are restless, Депресії, хаотичний, страшний, depressed and are led by their flesh, обставини, та околиці.
How can you experience true peace?
Є лише в один бік to experience true peace and that’s by faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. By faith in Christ and His redemptive work and by laying down the enmity of the old man (до Бога) в ньому, you’ll experience the true peace of God.
The birth of the new man in Jesus Christ
Через хрещення у воді, you identify yourself with Jesus Christ and His sufferings and death. У воді, you bury the old man and his nature, including his enmity with God.
If you laid down the old man in Jesus Christ and became a new creation in Him, your spiritual position is restored and you’re reconciled with God and have peace. Зараз, you can have a relationship with the Father through Jesus; слово.
God is no longer far away, but He is near. He lives inside of you by His Holy Spirit. Через Слово і Святого Духа, Who live inside you, you’re connected with Him. (Джон 14:20-24; 26, Ефесян 2:22).
Jesus restored the peace, і в результаті, the peace of God abides in the new man
Because Jesus restored the peace between fallen man and God, через Його спокутну роботу, Його кров, and the recreation of the new man, the peace of God abides in the new man.
І мир Божий, що перевершує всяке розуміння, збереже ваші серця й думки через Христа Ісуса (Филип'ян 4:7)
Jesus restored the peace between fallen man God. As long as you stay in Christ and walk after the Spirit according to the Word in connection with the Father, you’ll experience God’s peace in your life, що перевершує всяке розуміння (Джон 14:27, Филип'ян 4:7, 2 Солуняни 3:16).
Мир залишаю з вами, Мій мир даю вам: not as the world giveth give I unto you. Нехай не тривожиться серце ваше, і нехай не боїться. (Джон 14:27)
Jesus didn’t leave the peace of this world that depends on relationships with others, Ситуаціях, та околиці.
But Jesus left the peace of God, through which you live in peace with Him.
The peace of God doesn’t depend on relationships with others, обставини, Ситуаціях, та околиці.
But this peace is present in you from the moment you’re born again. Through the regeneration process in Christ, your position has been restored and you’re reconciled with God, causing you to live in peace with God.
Nothing and no one can steal God’s peace as long as you stay in Him
This peace of God that passes all understanding shall reign in your heart. No one shall be able to take that мир від вас, поки ви перебуваєте в Ньому. (Колосяни 3:15).
As long as you stay in Christ and obey Him and do what He says, you’ll always experience His peace. You’ll experience His peace despite people’s behavior, Ситуаціях, проблеми, оточення, and the resistance and persecution of the world.
Jesus left His peace and those who stay in Him and obey and слідуйте за Ним experience His peace.
Будьте сіллю землі’
