Kolosaliklarga 1:24-29 Paul wrote about being a minister of Christ and his sufferings for the church and the price he paid to fulfill the Word of God.
Kolosaliklar 1:24-29
Kim endi sen uchun azoblarimdan quvonadi, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake, which is the church: Meni vazir qilib tayinladim, Sizlar uchun menga berilgan Xudoning hukmiga ko'ra, to fulfill the Word of God; Hatto asrlar va avlodlardan yashiringan sir, Endi esa Uning azizlariga ayon bo'ldi: G'ayriyahudiylar orasida bu sirning ulug'vorligining boyligi nima ekanligini Xudo kimga bildiradi?; bu sizning ichingizda Masihdir, shon-sharaf umidi: Biz kimga va'z qilamiz, har bir odamni ogohlantirish, va har bir insonga har qanday donolikni o'rgatadi; toki biz har bir insonni Iso Masihda mukammal ko'rsatamiz: whereunto I also labour, Uning ishiga ko'ra harakat qilish, Bu menda kuchli ishlaydi (Kolosaliklar 1:24-29)
Paul was a minister of Jesus Christ and the church and didn’t mind going through all the sufferings for Christ’s sake and His body’s sake.
Paul knew the importance of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world and calling sinners to repentance. He preached salvation and reconciliation to God by faith and regeneration in Christ (the death of the chol (tana) and the resurrection from the dead of the yangi odam (ruh) Masihda).
Paul knew that without the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ many people would be lost, bu Xudoning irodasiga ko'ra emas.
And so Paul preached the gospel among the Jews and the Gentiles, to whom he was called. He warned the people, visited the local churches and edified the saints in the wisdom of God. Shuning uchun; ... uchun; ... natijasida, they would get to know the will of God and grow up into the image of Christ.
Paul paid the price to fulfill the Word of God
Paul knew about the strive and hardships and was aware of the price to fulfill the Word of God among the saints. And so Paul experienced resistance, intilish, and persecution while fulfilling his task as a minister of Jesus Christ and the church.
Because to fulfill the Word of God among the saints, meant to fully preach the truth of God and not everyone appreciated this.
Paul not only spoke encouraging words, but also hard words.
He called the saints to live holy lives and remove the sin from their lives, and be loyal to God.
Paul was not afraid of speaking the truth of God and correcting and warning the saints. Because without correction and warnings people can’t grow or grow in the wrong direction.
Paul instructed the saints in all wisdom. He corrected and warned them in love, because He didn’t want anyone of them to be lost, but that all would be and remain saved. (Shuningdek o'qing: Is once saved, always saved true?).
Many times hard words are necessary to awaken people spiritually and cause a change in the church (in the lives of the saints).
The true preaching of the gospel
Although the words and approach of Paul were according to the will of God, in our days, many Christians consider Paul’s words and approach harsh, yoqimsiz, va g'ayriinsoniy.
This is mainly because many Christians are not yana tug'ilgan., Their flesh still reigns and their carnal mind dictates them what to do. Shuni dastidan; shu sababdan, people can’t hear and bear the words and truth of God anymore, and receive correction and warnings from God.
Chunki najot keltiruvchi Xudoning inoyati hamma odamlarga zohir bo'ldi, Bizga buni o'rgatish, xudosizlik va dunyoviy nafslarni inkor qilish, hushyor yashashimiz kerak, adolatli, va xudojo'ylik, bu hozirgi dunyoda; O'sha muborak umidni qidirib, va buyuk Xudo va Najotkorimiz Iso Masihning ulug'vor zohiri; O'zini biz uchun bergan kim, U bizni har qanday gunohdan qutqarishi uchun, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee (Titrash 2:11-15)
Carnal Christians can’t hear and bear the truth of God’s Word
Many people are led by their feelings. When people warn and correct them, they feel offended, indignant, zarar yetkazmoq, and treated unfairly. Natijada, they become angry and walk away from the person or church that corrected them.
This only proves that the person is carnal and the flesh of the person has not died in Christ, but is still alive and in control. Unfortunately many churches are influenced by this carnal behavior.
In order to prevent their words causing unpleasant feelings and emotions in people, and people feeling offended and leaving the church, the preachers and elders of the church stay silent.
They don’t warn and correct the people, but they leave them alone. Because they’re afraid of losing them.
Va shunday qilib, they let them have their way, and use the words love, hurmat qilmoq, and forgiveness to justify their actions.
Ko'p cherkovlarda, the leaders not only leave the church visitors alone, but also allow them to stay the way they are and justify their sins.
They even command the members and visitors of the church to do the same thing and follow their example. And so many churches accept the works of the flesh which are not according to the will of God.
Church ministers fear the world instead of God
Many church ministers fear the world instead of God. Out of fear for the world, opinions of people, rad etish, and losing people, church ministers adjust the words of the Bible and water down the gospel down because they take the feelings, his-tuyg'ular, and opinions of people into account.
And so they prove, by their actions, that their fear (hayrat) of people is greater than their fear of God. They walk in Soxta sevgi and false grace and are promoters of sin instead of promoters of righteousness.
The love and grace of God doesn’t compromise with the world and sin. (Shuningdek o'qing: ‘Is Jesus a Promoter of sin?)
Agar siz dunyodan bo'lgan bo'lsangiz, Dunyo o'z-o'zidan sevadi: Ammo siz dunyodan emassiz, Ammo men sizni dunyodan tanladim, Dunyo sizdan nafratlanadi. Sizga aytgan so'zimni eslang, Xizmatkor Robbidan ulug' emas. Agar ular meni quvg'in qilgan bo'lsa, Ular sizni ham quvg'in qilishadi; Agar ular mening so'zlarimni bajarsalar, ular sizni ham ushlab turishadi. Ammo bularning hammasi mening ismim uchun sizga shunday qilishadi, Chunki ular meni yuborgan uni bilmaydilar (Jon 15:19-21)
How perfect love cast out fear
Xudo dunyoni juda sevdi, that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ, Jesus gave His life out of love, and if you love God above all, you will give your life to Him. Xuddi Pol kabi, who loved God above all and had given his whole life to -and for Him and didn’t rely on himself, but relied wholeheartedly on Him.
Unlike many church leaders today, who walk in fear for people and sympathize and compromise with the wickedness of the world and adjust and/or reject the words of God, Paul walked in the love of (va uchun) Xudo, which cast out all fear.
The love of God overcomes any kind of fear, and cast out: fear for the world, fear for people, fear for the devil and demons, fear to preach the gospel, fear to speak the truth of God, fear for rejection, fear for resistance, fear for persecution, fear for strive, fear for sufferings, va hokazo.
Despite all the resistance, quvg'in, imprisonments for the sake of the Name of Jesus Christ, Paul continued and endured all things to complete his task and fulfill the Word of God, even the mystery which had been hidden from ages and from generations, but was revealed to His saints, and to warn and teach every man in all the wisdom of God to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; lekin kuchdan, va sevgidan, va sog'lom aql. Shunday ekan, Rabbimizning guvohligidan uyalma, Men ham Uning asiri: lekin Xudoning qudrati bilan Xushxabarning azoblariga sherik bo'l; Bizni kim qutqardi, va bizni muqaddas da'vat bilan chaqirdi, bizning ishlarimizga ko'ra emas, lekin O'zining maqsadi va inoyatiga ko'ra, Bu dunyo yaratilishidan oldin bizga Iso Masih orqali berilgan, Lekin hozir Najotkorimiz Iso Masihning paydo bo'lishi bilan namoyon bo'ldi, who hath abolished death, va Xushxabar orqali hayot va boqiylikni yoritib berdi: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day
