Khi bạn được tái sinh trong Đấng Christ, bạn trở thành một sáng tạo mới. Bạn đã trở thành con Thiên Chúa (Điều này áp dụng cho cả nam và nữ) và nhận được bản chất của Thiên Chúa. Now your mind needs to be changed. Để có thể, the transformation from the old creation into the new creation becomes visible in the natural realm and you produce the right fruit in your life. Because what do you produce in life, sự sống hay cái chết?
How do you change your mind?
You change your mind by renewing your mind with the Word of God. As long as your mind is not renewed with the Word of God, your mind shall remain the same. If your mind remains the same, your way of speaking and acting remain the same.
When you keep speaking and acting like the old man, it will defile and eventually destroy your spirit.
Vì vậy cần thiết phải làm mới tâm trí của bạn. Để có thể, your mind lines up with the Word and will of God. Sau tất cả, you are the person, who you think you are in your mind and heart. Because as a man thinks in his heart, anh ấy cũng vậy (Tục ngữ 23:7).
What’s in your heart determines what you produce in life
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit (Tục ngữ 15:4)
Your mind and heart determine your speech and your actions. From your heart, you will speak words of life or words of death.
When your mind is renewed and your heart is filled with the Word of God, you will produce life. But as long as your mind remains carnal and your heart is filled with (những điều của ) Thế giới, you produce death.
Only when you renew your mind with the Word of God, your mind and heart will change. If your mind and heart change, your life will change.
We live in a very negative world. I mean, go to lunch with your colleagues and in almost every conversation, negative stories or gossip will be told. Or watch the news broadcast on tivi or read the newspaper, it’s all negative.
The world is full of negativity. But do you, as a born-again Christian, need to be dragged into this negativity and the way the world thinks?
KHÔNG, hoàn toàn không!
You are not like the world anymore, but you have been set apart. You became a new creation when you accepted Jesus Christ, con trai của Chúa, as your Saviour and Lord and through regeneration received the Holy Spirit (Đọc thêm: Ba yếu tố cần thiết cho sự tái sinh?).
Làm mới tâm trí của bạn với Lời Chúa
When you read and study the Bible and meditate on His Word, you will get to know the truth and will of God and the words of God shall be established in your heart. Your eyes will be opened to the truth. Kết quả là, you shall no longer live in a lie, but in the truth.
Nhờ Lời Chúa và Chúa Thánh Thần, you will discern the two kingdoms; Vương quốc thiên đường (Nước Thiên Chúa, nơi Chúa Giêsu Kitô là Vua) and the kingdom of the world (Bóng tối, where the ruler is the devil).
You shall take the pure Word of God and speak the words of God and walk therein. You shall be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
Because you are a doer of the Word, you’ll change into the image of Jesus Christ, Lời sống.
You shall walk like Jesus in obedience to the Father in His will, and preach and bring the Kingdom of God to the people and call the people to repentance. (Đọc thêm: ‘Người nghe vs The Doers‘).
Children of God speak boldly the words of their Father
As a child of the most High God, you shall not walk in khiêm tốn giả tạo. But you shall walk by faith and speak boldly the words of God, đó là Tinh thần và sự sống.
Your behavior and words are not always appreciated by people, who are carnal and/or belong to the world. They shall consider your words hurtful, offensive and judgmental. Because they testify that the works of the flesh are evil and call the people to repentance and obedience to God and His Word. Not everyone likes that.
But if you love Jesus wholeheartedly, you willl stay faithful to Him and don’t care about the words and opinions of people.
You’ll keep speaking His words, which represent God’s will and possess life, to people and over situations, vấn đề, khó khăn, vân vân.
Vì thế, it’s important that the words of God and principles of God’s Kingdom rule in your mind and heart.
If a thought enters your mind that contradicts the Word of God or sows doubt and unbelief and you want to speak that thought, you will be stopped. Đó là vì Chúa Thánh Thần, shall bring the Word into your mind, that abides in you.
Tại thời điểm đó, you have a choice to obey the Word and close your mouth or reject the Word and sow death and destruction with your mouth.
Death and life are in the power of your tongue
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit (tục ngữ 18:21)
When you restrain from evil words that contradict the Word of God and deny the truth of God and you speak the words of God, đó là theo ý muốn của Ngài, you produce life.
You have given power to produce life or death. Sự lựa chọn là của bạn, what you sow and reap (Đọc thêm: Những gì bạn gieo bạn sẽ gặt).
Bạn sản xuất cái gì, sự sống hay cái chết?
I would like to encourage you to study the Word of God. Read and write down Bible verses, suy gẫm lời Chúa (trong bối cảnh phù hợp), and speak and act according to them.
Những lời của Chúa, the seeds, will grow into a tree of life. When you become a tree of life, you will share the life of God instead of death.
You will bear the fruit of life and give them to those, who need them. Điều đó không tuyệt vời sao!
“Hãy là muối của trái đất”
