羅馬人的盔甲是輕的 13:12 是為基督徒準備的. 每個基督徒, 在基督裡重生的人, 脫離黑暗的權勢，轉入光明. 基督徒不再屬於黑暗, but to the Kingdom of Light. 所以, Christians shall not live in the kingdom of darkness, 在黑暗中行走, and do the works of darkness. But Christians shall live in the Kingdom of God and do righteous works. Through the new birth and the change of sonship, 自然, 和王國, Christians shall put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light and walk in the light. let’s look at the armor of light in Romans 13:12 and how you put on the armor of light according to the Bible.
Put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light
夜已遠去, 這一天即將來臨: 因此，讓我們拋棄黑暗的行為, and let us put on the armor of light. 讓我們誠實地前行, 就像當天一樣; 不酗酒、鬧事, 不沉迷於放蕩, 不爭吵和嫉妒. 但要披戴主耶穌基督, 不為肉體安排, to fulfill the lusts (羅馬書 13:12-14)
The Day of the Lord is near. 所以, 是時候了, that all the Christians, 誰說他們相信, wake up from their spiritual sleep. It’s time to arise in Christ and walk in boldness after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in the light.
我們周圍, we see an increase of the power of darkness. More and more spiritual ground is being taken by the power of darkness, which is visible in the natural realm in nature and the lives of people.
The main reasons for the increase of darkness are the increase of apostasy, 無法無天, and the lukewarm state of people, 自稱是基督徒的人.
Many Christians don’t speak the truth but keep their mouths shut about the Truth of God to prevent conflicts or rejection by people.
Instead of standing on the Word, they compromise with the world and approve the works of darkness. They even partake in the works of darkness.
There is hardly any distinction between good and evil and the majority of believers and unbelievers.
所以, it’s time that those, 誰說他們相信, become serious and show through their lives, that they believe in Jesus Christ; 這個單字, and are sons of God (這適用於男性和女性), who don’t belong to the darkness (世界) 了, but the Light.
讓罪不再在你的生命中作王
因此，不要讓罪在你必死的身體上作王, 叫你們順從它的私慾. 也不要將你們的肢體獻給罪惡，作為不義的工具: 但要將自己降服於神, 就像那些從死裡復活的人一樣, 和你的肢體作為上帝公義的工具 (羅馬書 6:12-13)
People who keep walking in darkness and doing the works of darkness and obey and serve sin and death through their flesh, don’t walk in the light.
所以, 人們, who walk in darkness are not the light in the world.
They shall not be able to deliver other people from the power of darkness. They shall also not be able to teach others in the truth of God’s Word. Since they are blinded and walk in darkness themselves and sin still reigns as king 在他們的生活中.
但聖經 (上帝的話) commands everyone, to put off the works of darkness and no longer walk after the lusts of the flesh. The Bible commands everyone to walk as children of light and put on the armor of light and yield their members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
並且沒有與黑暗的無限著作有關的團契, 而是譴責他們. 因為他們暗中做的那些事，連談論起來都是羞恥的。. 但凡受責備的事，都因光而顯明出來: 因為凡是顯現出來的都是光 (以弗所書 5:11-13)
The Word commands to not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but to reprove the works of darkness by the truth of God.
How do you cast off the works of darkness and put off the old man?
Every believer should cast off the works of darkness and 推遲老人. It is an action that every believer is supposed to do. No one can do it for you. Not even God.
因此，要克制你們在地球上的成員; 淫亂, 不潔, 過度的感情, 惡欲, 和貪婪, 這是偶像崇拜: 為了哪些事’ 在上帝的憤怒中，對不服從的孩子們: 你們也曾在其中走過一段時間, 當你們住在其中的時候。但現在你們也把這一切都延後了; 憤怒, 憤怒, 惡意, 褻瀆, 骯髒的交流從你的嘴裡. 不是彼此撒謊, 看到你們已經用他的行為推遲了老人; 並穿上新人, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created Him (歌羅西書 3:5-10)
現在肉的作品已經明顯了, 這些; 通姦, 淫亂, 不潔, 淫蕩, 偶像崇拜, 巫術, 仇恨, 方差, 仿真, 憤怒, 衝突, 煽動, 異端, 嫉妒, 謀殺, 酒醉, revellings, 等等: 我以前告訴你的, 正如我也過去告訴過你的那樣, 這樣做這種事情的他們不得繼承上帝的王國(加拉太書 5:19-22)
God has given you in Christ all authority and power to resist the devil and resist sin; 黑暗的作品.
After Jesus Christ, 上帝的兒子, was baptized in water by 施洗約翰 and received the Holy Spirit from the Father, 耶穌被聖靈引導到曠野.
在曠野, 耶穌是 被魔鬼誘惑 四十天. During those forty days, Jesus learned to stay obedient to His Father and resist the devil and all his temptations.
Jesus didn’t compromise and didn’t bow to the devil. But Jesus only bowed to His Father, by staying faithful and obedient to His Father and His will.
就像耶穌一樣, the sons of God should also walk in obedience to the Word and the Holy Spirit. They should resist the devil and don’t give into his deceptions and temptations, 導致罪惡.
And that’s only possible if you 愛上帝 全心全意, 靈魂, 介意, 和力量,h and know His will and yield yourself to His will, 就像耶穌一樣, Who loved His Father with all His heart, 靈魂, mind and strength and knew His Father’s will and yielded Himself to the will of the Father.
神的旨意是什麼?
因為這是神的旨意, 甚至你的成聖, 你們應當禁戒淫亂: 你們每個人都應該知道如何擁有自己的器皿成聖和榮耀; 不在於情慾, 就像不認識神的外邦人一樣: 任何人在任何事情上都不能超越並欺騙他的兄弟: 因為主是所有這些人的報應者, 正如我們也預先警告過您並證實的那樣. 因為神沒有召我們行不潔的事, 但為了聖潔. 因此，他藐視, 不藐視人, 但上帝, 祂也將祂的聖靈賜給我們 (1 帖撒羅尼迦人 4:3-8)
And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, 並做它們 (以西結 36:27)
並且不符合這個世界: 但是你們會因更新的思想而改變, 你們可以證明那是什麼好, 並且可以接受, 完美, 神的旨意 (羅馬書 12:2)
Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, God’s will is written in the mind and heart of the new man. 然而, the carnal mind is not renewed with the Word and thinks like the world, and can become a hindrance in the lives of Christians. A carnal mind ensure that people keep walking in disobedience to the Word in unbelief.
Therefore Christians need to 更新他們的想法 與神的話語. 以便, they will get to know the Father and His will.
Through their love for God and by faith in God and His Word, they shall obey the words of God. They shall apply His words in their lives and walk according to His words and abide in the Word. 透過他們對神的順服, 他們 戀愛 according to the will of God.
What does the Bible say about the process of sanctification?
The process of sanctification is a process that every person, who has repented and has become a new creation in Jesus Christ shall go through. Even when you are raised in a Christian family, you shall go through the process of sanctification after you’ve become born again (這 水中的洗禮 和聖靈的洗禮).
所以, 兄弟們, 我們是債務人, 不肉, 在肉之後生活. 因為如果你們在肉後生活, 你們將死: 但是，如果你們通過精神莫替了身體的行為, 你們要為凡受神的靈引導的人而活, 他們是上帝的兒子. 因為你們不再受到奴役的精神去恐懼; 但你們已經領受了兒子名分的靈, 我們因此哭泣, 阿巴, 父親 (羅馬書 8:12-15)
During the process of 成聖, you shall put off the works of darkness. You’ll put off the old man, 誰具有魔鬼的本性, and put on the armor of light. You will put on the new man and be clothed with Jesus Christ.
不可再做肉體的事. But through (the power of) 聖靈, you shall kill the works of the flesh and do the works of the Spirit, which produces life and peace.
You shall no longer listen to the lusts and desires of your flesh, that commands you to love yourself and the world and reject the words of God, 並想說謊, rebel, 通姦, 通姦, 離婚, 手錶 A片, and have sexual relationships with someone, who isn’t your spouse/of the same gender/multiple persons/yourself/children or animals.
You’ll no longer listen to your flesh that wants you to walk in pride and commands you to get involved with strange religions and/or (東) 哲學, 巫術, 占卜, 諮詢烈酒, envy others and be jealous, drink alcohol, 偷, 恨, 殺, 是 不寬容 towards others, recompense evil for evil, ETC.
因為根據聖經, all these works are the works of darkness that belong to the old man; 罪人. These works of darkness don’t belong in the life of the new man, who has been made holy and righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him.
每個人 都, who has been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
你們是上帝的所有子女，都信仰基督耶穌. 因為你們中的許多人被洗禮的基督戴上了基督 (加拉太書 3:26-27)
The new man is clothed with Christ. 所以, the spiritual transformation of the 老人 into the new man should become visible in the natural realm in the life of the new man.
新人, who has been made in the image of the Creator, shall put on Jesus Christ; the Word and walk in the light; 在神的真理中, in the armor of light.
When you have become the new man, you shall walk after the Spirit and shall love God with all your heart, 靈魂, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself, which means that you shall serve no other gods and have no idols, you shall not commit spiritual adultery with other religions and/or philosophies, and shall not commit witchcraft, 通姦, 淫亂, 說謊, 偷, 殺, envy etc.
How do you put on the armor of light?
You put on the armor of light by yielding to Jesus Christ; the Word and the Holy Spirit and doing what is written in the Word.
As long as you stay faithful to Jesus Christ and walk after the will of the Father you shall do righteous works; the works of light and shall walk in righteousness.
The path of righteousness is not the path of the world. It’s a narrow path and only few shall find it or keep walking on this path (馬修 7:14). Your walk in life depends on your love for Jesus Christ and the Father.
Only if you are born again in Christ and love God with all your heart, 靈魂, 介意, and strength and stay obedient to the Word and the Holy Spirit and walk by faith in righteousness after the will of God, 你將能夠:
- Resist all the temptations of the devil,
- Fulfill your task in the Kingdom of God on earth,
- Be a witness of Jesus Christ,
- Do the works of light,
- Stand in the faith.
