Коли ви народитесь знову у Христі, ти став праведним. Біблія каже, God had made Jesus, який не знав гріха, бути для нас гріхом, який не знав гріха, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Коринфянам 5:20-21). Ти більше не син диявола, грішник, але ти став сином Божим, святий. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Праведник ходить у правді
І тепер, маленькі діти, перебувати в Ньому; що, коли Він з'явиться, ми можемо мати впевненість, і не соромтеся перед Ним під час Його приходу. Якщо ви знаєте, що Він праведний, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 Джон 2:28-29)
А народжений згори християнин is born of God and has become a son of God (це стосується як чоловіків, так і жінок).
Коли ти знову народився, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(зверніть увагу: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, Його працею; His sacrifice and His blood. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Коли ти йдеш за Духом, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Якщо ти любиш мене, дотримуйтесь Моїх заповідей
Ісус сказав: «Якщо ти любиш мене, дотримуйтесь Моїх заповідей» (Джон 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 або 3 hours a week, Але 24 годин на день, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Його шлях) and stay obedient to Him.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, you will stay in Him, і дотримуватися його заповідей, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Боже Слово), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
Коли ти, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
