حقیقت کے باوجود, کہ بائبل دنیا میں سب سے زیادہ فروخت اور پڑھی جانے والی کتاب ہے۔, بائبل دنیا کی سب سے متنازعہ اور حملہ آور کتاب بھی ہے۔. Many countries are afraid of the Bible and have forbidden Bibles. یہ حیرت کی بات نہیں ہے۔, since the Bible is the only Book in the world, wherein God reveals Himself and the truth through His words. The Bible is so powerful that it divides soul and spirit and changes lives. But is the Bible still considered the true and eternal Word of God? Do Christians spend time in the Bible and is the Bible the highest authority in their lives? Is the Bible still compelling and relevant to Christians or do the hearts of Christians go out to other books and is the Bible faded into the background or even completely disappeared from their lives?
The sons of God spent time in the Bible
جیسے ہی انسان دوبارہ پیدا ہوتا ہے۔, which means that the flesh dies and the spirit is raised from the dead in Christ, and the person becomes a new creation, the person shall long to spend time in the Bible and search the Scriptures and feed themselves with the words of God. کیونکہ روح القدس, جو نئی تخلیق میں قائم رہتا ہے۔, draws the new creation to the Word of God and desires to be in unity with Jesus Christ; لفظ, اور باپ.
دیکھ کر آپ نے روح کے ذریعہ سچ کی تعمیل کرنے میں اپنی جانوں کو پاک کردیا ہے۔, دیکھو کہ تم ایک دوسرے سے خالص دل سے بھر پور محبت کرتے ہو: دوبارہ پیدا ہونا, کرپٹیبل بیج کا نہیں, لیکن ناقابل شکست, خدا کے کلام کی طرف سے, جو ہمیشہ کے لئے زندہ اور عکاسی کرتا ہے (1 پیٹر 1:22-23)
عیسیٰ کی طرح, خدا کا بیٹا, withdrew Himself to spend time with the Father, وہ, who are born of God and belong to Him shall also withdraw themselves to spend time with Jesus Christ and the Father in the Word and in prayer. (یہ بھی پڑھیں: مومن کی خفیہ دعا کی زندگی).
اور اس کے ذریعہ ہم جانتے ہیں کہ ہم اسے جانتے ہیں, اگر ہم اس کے احکامات کو برقرار رکھتے ہیں. وہ کہنے والا ہے, میں اسے جانتا ہوں, اور اس کے احکامات نہیں رکھیں, جھوٹا ہے, اور سچائی اس میں نہیں ہے. لیکن جو اپنے کلام کو برقرار رکھتا ہے, اس میں بے شک خدا کی محبت ہے: اس کے ذریعہ ہم جانتے ہیں کہ ہم اس میں ہیں. وہ جو اس میں عکاسی کرتا ہے اس میں خود بھی چلنا چاہئے, یہاں تک کہ جب وہ چلتا تھا (1 جان 2:3-6)
The Bible is the Word of God and contains the truth. بائبل کے ذریعے, آپ کو معلوم ہو جائے گا حقیقی یسوع مسیح and the will of God and His Kingdom.
The more time you spend in the Bible, the better you shall get to know God and His will. And by believing, obeying, اور خدا کے الفاظ کر رہے ہیں, you shall walk as Jesus Christ in the will of God.
The Bible should be the highest authority in the lives of Christians
The Bible is the power of God and should be the highest authority in the lives of every born-again Christian, جو خدا کا بیٹا بن گیا ہے (مرد اور عورت دونوں). بدقسمتی سے, یہ ہمیشہ کیس نہیں ہے.
Many Christians don’t consider the words of God as credible, compelling, and relevant, but as outdated, dusty, and old-fashioned that don’t fit in today’s society. نتیجے کے طور پر, God’s words are no longer believed, اطاعت کی, and applied, but adjusted, تبدیل, and/or rejected.
اور وہ (یسوع) جواب دیا اور ان سے کہا, My mother and My brethren are these which hear the word of God, اور کرو (لیوک 8:21)
But He (یسوع) کہا, ہاں بلکہ, مبارک ہیں وہ جو خدا کا کلام سنتے ہیں, اور اسے رکھو (لیوک 11:28)
The deception of the devil
The prince and ruler of this world (شیطان) doesn’t want people to find out the truth and discover his lies in which many people live. اس لیے, the devil adjusts and corrupts the words of God very subtle through modern Bible translations and false teachings of man.
He keeps the people away from the truth and the Kingdom of God by keeping them away from the Bible; خدا کا کلام.
He tempts, seduces, اور entertains people with the things of this world and claim their time.
True born again Christians, who walk after the Spirit shall spend time in the Word and consider the Bible as the truth. ان کو, the Bible is compelling and relevant and the highest authority in their lives.
تاہم, لوگ, جو نئے سرے سے پیدا نہیں ہوئے اور ان میں خدا کی روح نہیں رہتی, but the spirit of the world, shall not long to be with Jesus and the Father and spend time in the light of the Word. They rather spend time in the light of the world aka the light of their phone, ٹیلی ویژن, (گیمنگ)کمپیوٹر, وغیرہ.
کیا بائبل اب بھی عیسائیوں کے لیے مجبور اور متعلقہ ہے؟?
Many Christians don’t consider the Bible a compelling spiritual Book, which contains the life of God and reveals the will of God and is relevant and needed for the spiritual man to grow up into a mature son of God and to stand against all the temptations and wiles of the devil.
They don’t consider the Bible as the Sword of the Spirit and don’t know how the handle the Sword of the Spirit in the ongoing spiritual battle.
اس کے بجائے, they walk in pride by thinking, that they know the Bible after reading the Bible so many times.
کیونکہ خدا کا کلام تیز ہے۔, اور طاقتور, اور کسی بھی دو تلوار سے تیز, یہاں تک کہ روح اور روح کے تقسیم کرنے والے تفریق کو چھیدنا, اور جوڑ اور میرو کی, اور دل کے خیالات اور ارادوں کو سمجھنے والا ہے (عبرانیوں 4:12)
But Jesus answered and said, یہ لکھا ہوا ہے, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (میتھیو 4:4)
But as long as someone doesn’t walk and lives as a mature son of God in the will of God, as Jesus walked in the will of the Father, someone doesn’t know the Bible completely
Head knowledge puffs up
You can have a lot of head knowledge of the Bible, but head knowledge doesn’t do anything with a person, except that it puffs up a person and exalt himself above others.
You don’t enter the Kingdom of God by having head knowledge of the Bible, even though many people think they do. But that’s because, despite their head knowledge, they don’t know the Word experientially nor have the Word abiding in their heart.
And so many Christians are misled and lead defeated lives and are controlled by the spirit of the world. They rather feed themselves with the knowledge and wisdom of the world and listen to what ‘learned’ people have to say and consider their words as the truth and walk by faith according to their words.
What is the difference between believers and unbelievers?
مومنوں اور کافروں میں شاید ہی کوئی فرق ہے۔. That’s because many Christians believe the words of the world above the words of God. The words of the world that correspond with the carnal mind and will of the flesh, are the highest authority in their lives.
ان کے خیالات, سوچنے کا طریقہ, الفاظ, and opinions hardly differ from each other. The only difference is that believers say they believe that God exists and believe in Jesus Christ and the unbelievers don’t. But their walk, الفاظ, works and life are many times identical, since they walk after the flesh and are led by the same spirit that reigns in the flesh. (یہ بھی پڑھیں: اگر عیسائی دنیا کی طرح رہتے ہیں, دنیا کیا توبہ کرے?).
Most Christians are carnal and are led by the spirit of the world, بالکل کافروں کی طرح. They walk after the flesh and are led by their feelings and what happens in the natural realm. They are dependent upon situations, the surrounding, اور لوگ, بالکل اسی طرح دنیا کی طرح. Their outside world determines how they feel and determines their state. مختصر میں, their lives and well-being depend upon external factors in the natural realm.
They follow the same path as the world and read all kinds of books, written by man, بائبل کے بجائے. They engage in various teachings, طریقے, and technics that often derive from انسان کے فلسفے and pagan religions that are popular in the world, whereby the carnal man is strengthened and the spiritual man weakens. Through all this carnal knowledge they defile themselves and enter sideways, which eventually leads to the abyss.
The devil wants to keep you ignorant
شیطان, جو دنیا کا حکمران ہے۔, shall do anything to keep the people away from the Bible and eliminate the Bible from people’s lives. All because the devil knows the power of the Bible.
Without the Bible and the renewing of the mind with the Word of God, people shall never get to know the will of God and never find out the Truth, and never walk by faith in the will of God. اور یہی شیطان چاہتا ہے۔.
تو سننے سے ایمان آتا ہے۔, اور خدا کے کلام سے سننا
رومیوں 10:17
