Muqaddas Kitobga ko'ra imonning mevasi nima? Chunki xristianlar tez-tez aytadilar, ular Iso Masihga ishonishlarini va Xudoga ishonishlarini, lekin ular haqiqatan ham? Ko'p marta, their words and works (ishlar) don’t line up with what they say they believe. They don’t walk after the Spirit by faith but they walk by what their senses perceive and carnal mind say. Let’s look at what the Bible says about the fruit faith?
What is the definition of faith according to the Bible?
Ibroniylarda 11:1 we read the definition of faith: Endi imon - bu umid qilingan narsalarning mohiyati, ko'rinmaydigan narsalarning dalillari.
Faith is the assurance of the things hoped for and the evidence (the proof) of things that are not seen.
Let’s look at the word ‘hope’. Hope is translated from the Greek word ‘elpízõ’ and means; kutish yoki ishontirish: – (bor, narsa) umid (-d) (uchun), ishonch.
Hope means that you are confident and that you trust, that something is coming to pass.
You expect it to happen.
There is no doubt in hope, but hope is an expectation.
There is a full assurance in hope; an expectation, that ‘something’ is going to happen.
Shuning uchun, faith is an assurance of the things that you expect to happen. Faith is the evidence of things that are not seen.
How does faith speak?
Faith speaks the words of God, Bular Ruh va hayotdir. Faith call those things which are not as though they were (Rimliklar 4:17).
Birinchi marta, the fruit faith became visible on earth was during the creation. God had faith in His Word and power. U bilardi, when He spoke the Word (Iso, Tirik so'z) that by His power (Muqaddas Ruh) it came into being. It wasn’t visible yet, but God knew the power of His Word.
God had this creation in His mind and spoke this creation into being. He called those things, which be not, go'yo ular kabi.
Agar shunday bo'lsangiz Masihda qayta tug'ilgan and have become spiritual, then you understand through faith that the worlds were created by the Word of God. Every Christian believes and understands this through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Imon orqali biz dunyo so'zlari tomonidan yozilganligini tushunamiz, Ko'rinadigan narsalar paydo bo'lmagan narsalardan qilinmagan (Ibroniy 11:3)
What does the word faith mean?
Faith is translated from the Greek word ‘epistis' va anglatadi: persuasion, anavi, ishonch; axloqiy ishonch (diniy haqiqatdan, yoki Xudoning haqiqati yoki diniy ustoz), ayniqsa, najot uchun Masihga tayanish; bunday kasbda mavhum doimiylik; diniy tizimni kengaytirish orqali (Xushxabar) haqiqatning o'zi: – kafolat, e'tiqod, ishon, ishonch, sodiqlik.
You are persuaded, you have credence. You are certain that ‘something’ is the truth. Shuning uchun, you stand and keep standing on that truth.
You remain faithful to the truth. Nothing and no one can take you away from that truth. You don’t back down and you don’t doubt (Shuningdek o'qing: Er yuziga ishonishim kerakmi??).
When does your faith begin?
Your faith begins when you are convinced that something is the truth. Eshitgansiz, o'qimoq, or seen something, and you believe, that what you heard, o'qimoq, or saw is true.
God has given a free will to everyone. Therefore every person has a free will to make his own choices in life. Everyone decides to believe the Word of God or not believe the Word of God.
Ularning so'zlari, ishlar, and lives show, whether they believe the Word of God or not.
Carnal people always need some kind of proof and/or a sign, ular ishonishdan oldin. They are sense-ruled and will only believe if they’ll see it with their natural eyes.
Biroq, it happens often that when they get some kind of proof or a sign, they still doubt. (Shuningdek o'qing: Avval ko'ring keyin ishoning yoki avval ishoning keyin ko'ring?).
We all know that doubt is the opposite of faith. Doubt is the fruit of the old man; tanaviy odam. If you doubt, you can’t walk in faith and bear the fruit of faith.
What are the four simple steps of faith in the process of regeneration?
But the new creations don’t walk after the flesh by what they see in the natural realm. The new creations walk after the Spirit in submission to God in obedience to the Word.
They speak and do the words of God and walk in faith and bear the fruit of faith in their lives. They abide in the Word of God and call those things which are not as though they were.
The new creations are not moved and ruled by their senses, his-tuyg'ular, his-tuyg'ular, va hokazo., But they are moved and ruled by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Lar bor 4 simple steps of faith in the process of regeneration.
the first step of faith
The first step of faith is to believe in Jesus Christ that He is the Son of God and came in the flesh and became the Substitute and Redeemer for fallen man. Ishoning, that through His sacrifice at the cross, Uning qoni bilan, va o'limdan tirilish, Jesus dealt with the sin problem of mankind, shu jumladan sizniki.
Jesus delivered man from the power of the devil, gunoh va o'lim, and translated man from the darkness into the light. He restored the position of man and reconciled man back to God.
If you believe all this, you repent of your old life as a sinner and make Jesus your Saviour and Lord.
That’s the first step you take in faith; believing in Jesus Christ, va Uning Qabul qilish ishi va tavba qilmoq of your sinful life
The second step of faith
Now comes the second step, which is regeneration in Christ. After your repentance, you are baptized in water and identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the water you lay down your old life as a sinner. You bury the old man with its sinful nature and arise in newness of life.
Siz crucify your (gunohkor) tana (your self, your carnal lusts and desires, fikr, fikrlash usuli, gunohs, qonunbuzarliklar, va hokazo.) and your spirit raises from the dead
The third step of faith
You will arise from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and enter eternal life. After the baptism, Siz Muqaddas Ruhni olasiz.
You are born of the Spirit of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in you. Siz yangi ijod bo'ldingiz; Xudoning o'g'li (bu erkaklarga ham, ayollarga ham tegishli), and God’s nature dwells in you.
Now you believe that you are a new creation that is born of water and Spirit.
The final step of faith
Ishonasiz, Siz yangi ijodga aylangansiz. The old you is gone and the new you, Xudoning suratidan keyin kim yaratiladi, has been born. As you believe that you are a new creation and that the past is gone, you will also walk as the new creation in newness of life.
You shall be confident in Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit in submission and obedience to His words. The Bible shall guide you and the Holy Spirit shall lead and teach you..
Shunday qilib, sizlar Rabbimiz Iso Masihni qabul qilgansizlar, Bas, Unga ergashing: Unda ildiz otgan va barpo etilgan, va imonda mustahkamlandi, sizlarga o'rgatilgandek, Unda ko'p rahmatlar aytamiz.
Kolosaliklar 2:6,7
How do you develop faith?
You develop faith by hearing the Word of God, renewing your mind with the Word of God, and applying the Word of God into your life, whereby you shall speak and do the Word of God.
Hearing and fikringizni yangilash with the Word of God are so important, because without the knowledge of the truth and knowing the will of God, you can’t pray and walk by faith and live a holy life.
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rimliklar 10:17)
Ammo siz, suyukli, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, Muqaddas Ruhda ibodat qilish (Yalang'och 1:20)
You shall build yourself up in your most holy faith and walk according to what the Word says.
You shall pray in the Holy Ghost, that is praying in other tongues.
The Holy Spirit knows exactly, what you need and what the obstacles in your life are. He helps your infirmities, and intercedes for you.
Xuddi shunday Ruh bizning zaifliklarimizga yordam beradi: chunki biz nima uchun ibodat qilishimiz kerakligini bilmaymiz: Ammo Ruhning O'zi biz uchun aytilmaydigan nolalar bilan shafoat qiladi (Rimliklar 8:26)
The Word revealed by the Spirit
Siz yana tug'ilishingizdan oldin, you didn’t know, what was written in the Word of God. You didn’t know Jesus Christ, and who God is and walked in darkness. Or maybe you did read the Bible, but you didn’t understand what was written.
Ammo hozir, that you are spiritual and have received the Holy Spirit, and entered into His light, you shall read His Word by His Spirit. You shall understand what is written, because the Holy Spirit reveals the Word of God (which is Spirit) siz uchun.
The Spirit is the key to understanding the Word of God, He is your Teacher. You don’t need all kinds of teachers. The Holy Spirit teaches you into all truth and guide you. He shall raise you in His Word, so that you will walk in faith.
Siz qilasiz, Kalom sizga nima qilishni buyuradi. You’ll live according to what the Word says, instead of what the world or your senses say.
You shall abide in Him and walk in Him and walk in truth.
The works shall follow your faith
Faith without works is dead. Xudoning Kalomini o'qish orqali, applying the Word, and therefore doing the Word of God, you shall walk in Him. You will keep His commandments and obey Him.
You shall speak and live according to the Word. When you do the Word, the works shall follow you, just like the works followed Jesus, because He walked after the Spirit.
Siz unda qolganingizda; so'z, the works shall follow you.
Chunki ruhisiz tana o'likdir, Shunday qilib, ishsiz imon ham o'likdir
Jeyms 2:26
Quench all the fiery darts by faith
You shall not always receive a warm welcome and maybe the people around you shall dislike you, va sizni ta'qib qilmoqda.
The devil shall do everything he can, to bring you back to the flesh, so that he can reign over you again, o'rniga you reigning over him.
He shall accuse you in your mind, he shall raise thoughts in your mind that oppose the Word of God.
Bu o'zingizga bog'liq, what you do with these thoughts. Do you feed them, or do you take these thoughts captive in Jesus Christ and cast them down?
The devil not only uses your mind, but also people to attack you.
The devil has one goal and that is to destroy you. Shuning uchun, the devil shall do everything he can and use everyone he can, o'z missiyasini bajarish uchun.
But when you stay in Christ and abide in the Word, keyin siz imon bilan o'chirishingiz mumkin hamma the fiery darts of wicked one. Eslatma, it is written ‘all’ and not ‘some’.
Ishonch sizning qalqoningizdir, lekin siz uni ushlab turishingiz kerak. No one else can do that for you. Therefore it is important to build yourself up in your most holy faith.
Avvalo, Imon qalqonini olib, Siz bilan yovuzlarning barcha olovli darzlarini qondira olasiz
Efesliklarga oid 6:16
Sizning imoningizni nima buzadi?
As long as you stay in the Word of God and walk after the Spirit and obey His words and keep His commandments, iymonda qolasiz. Lekin qolishingiz kerak awake and be watchful har doim. Siz hech qachon ehtiyotkorligingizni tushirmasligingiz kerak.
Bu dunyo bilimlaridan ongingizni saqlang, va Kalomga sodiq qoling. Qachonki siz ongingizni bu dunyo bilimi bilan oziqlantirsangiz, keyin shubha paydo bo'ladi. Because the knowledge and truth of this world goes against the knowledge and truth of the Word.
Therefore faith can be destroyed by doubt. This doubt can come both from the inside of you and from the outside:
- Ichkaridan shubha: Agar siz Xudoning Kalomi bilan fikringizni yangilamagan bo'lsangiz, shubha paydo bo'lishi mumkin (Bibliya). Bu hayotingizning muayyan sohalarida bo'lishi mumkin, siz Xudoning Kalomi bilan fikringizni yangilamadingiz. In those area’s your mind is carnal and human reason still reigns instead of the Spirit. This will ensure that you keep living after the flesh.
- Tashqaridan shubha: doubt can also enter from the outside through false teachings, wisdom of the world etc.. Paul warned the believers many times about false teachers and philosophies of man that will lead them astray and away from the faith in Christ Jesus.
Unda qolish
Agar siz Unda qolsangiz va Kalomga muvofiq yursangiz, Shunda siz qo'zg'almaysiz, and shall stand and walk in faith. But if you do not walk according to the Word, lekin dunyo aytganidek(falsafa, fan va boshqalar.) siz dunyoga itoat qilasiz va imonda yurolmaysiz. Chunki dunyo Xudoga va Uning Kalomiga dushmanlikdir.
Shunday qilib, sizlar Rabbimiz Iso Masihni qabul qilgansizlar, Bas, Unga ergashing: Unda ildiz otgan va barpo etilgan, va imonda mustahkamlandi, sizlarga o'rgatilgandek, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, Erkaklar an'anasi, Dunyodagi rimimentlardan keyin, va Masihdan keyin emas. Chunki Tangrining barcha to'liqligi Unda yashaydi
Kolosaliklar 2:6-9
Meva imon nima?
The fruit faith is a fruit of the Spirit and is present in every born again believer’s life. When you bear the fruit faith, you shall not walk by what your flesh, your carnal mind and senses, Sizga ayting. But you shall walk by faith after the Spirit by what the Word and the Spirit tell you.
Imonni saqlang
Don’t loose you faith but keep the faith. Make sure that you seek the things which are above and fill your mind with the things of God and His words and stay in Christ. Iymon uchun yaxshi kurash olib boring. Hech kim sizning imoningizni o'g'irlamasin, even when they turn against you.
Meva e'tiqodi haqida yozish uchun juda ko'p narsa bor, chunki butun Xushxabar Iso Masihga ishonish haqida. Qayta tug'ilgan masihiyning yurishi imon bilan bog'liq.
I would like to finish this blog post with the following question: Uyga borish vaqti kelganida, can you say the same words that Paul said?
Men yaxshi jang qildim, Men kursimni tugatdim, Men iymonni saqladim
