Paul always emphasized on staying in prayer and strengthening the relationship with God. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
28. Surrender and keep peace
Paul believed that surrender is important to keeping peace in life and fulfilling God’s purpose. (Philippians 4:6-7)
29. Paying attention and not being otherwise
Paul taught us to focus on true faith and righteous living. (Romans 12:2)
30. Being spiritually strong
Paul taught to be strong in the power of God and to win the spiritual battle. (Ephesians 6:10-11)
These 30 lessons are important teachings from Paul’s life and teachings that guide us to stand firm in our faith, surrender to the service of Christ, and increase the glory of God in all areas of life.
The apostle John, one of the 12 apostles of the Bible, was Christ’s closest disciple and wrote the major books of the Bible, including the Gospel of John, the first epistle of John (1 John), the second epistle of John (2 John), the third epistle of John (3 John), and The Book of Revelation (Revelation) is included.
Birth: The date of John’s birth is not clearly stated in the Bible, but it is estimated that he was born in the middle of the first century, in Israel, between the ages of about 6-15.
Death: John was the only apostle said to have died of natural causes of old age. The Bible does not give exact details regarding the time and place of John’s death, but according to historians he probably lived around 100 AD. He was held captive on the island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. At the time of his death he was honored as “beloved disciple” and “spiritual father”.
John’s family lived in Galilee by the sea, and his brother James was also a disciple of Jesus. Johanna and James were previously involved in the fishing business. John mentions a lot about his walk with Christ and he was one of Christ’s closest disciples. John was one of the seven principal disciples of Jesus whom Jesus embraced with deep faith and love. He participated in three of Jesus’ major miracles—the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8), praying with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, and mourning during Jesus’ crucifixion.
His life is a symbol of a deep relationship and faith in Christ. John was a true friend, confidant and servant of Jesus, and he lived with Jesus for a long time and learned.
The book of Revelation is the last book written by John which is considered to be the mystical prophecies of the end of the world and the resurrection of Jesus. John wrote this book while he was a hostage on the island of Patmos. John had heavenly visions in which he saw visions of future events, the end of the world, and the return of Christ. In this book, John makes great predictions of the power and glory of God and the return of Jesus. The main purpose of this book is to stand in faith and reveal the glory of God.
Important things to learn from life
1. Love and Unity: Love and unity had an important place in John’s life. He emphasized the unity and love of brothers and sisters in faith by practicing the teachings and love of Christ. (John 13:34-35)
2. Patience and Faith: John awaited Christ’s return with patience and faith. He continued to live the words of Christ by being patient even in difficult times of life. (Revelation 1:9)
3. Contrast between light and darkness: In his writings, John dwells deeply on the concept of darkness and light. Light is a symbol of Jesus’ truth and love. (John 1:5)
4. Intimacy with Christ: John prioritizes intimacy with Christ, and the moments he spends with Jesus are valued. (John 15:5)
5. True Life and Salvation: John’s life shows our need for salvation and the importance of true life. (John 14:6)
6. Loyalty and Holiness: John was faithful to his word and promise to God and lived a holy life. (1 John 1:7)
7. Spiritual Warfare and Victory: The Book of Revelation shows the victory of God’s sovereignty and the struggle with the powers of darkness. (Book of Revelation 19:11-16)
John’s life and ministry were based on steadfastness, faith, and love with Christ. She is a source of inspiration for us who inspires us to believe in God’s plan and spread the light of truth in the darkness of this world.
” Look, I’m coming soon. I will reward every man according to his deeds.” dear friend,
One of the amazing things about the Bible is that it tells about the future. God knows the future and in his word he has told many things that will happen in the future. Perhaps you are wondering this one thing: “Will the Lord Jesus come again?” The answer is, “Yes, He will surely come.” The Bible talks about two comings of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth. The first coming of Christ was about two thousand years ago. The second coming of Christ will be in the future. The Bible says, “Christ was sacrificed once to bear the sins of many, and he will appear a second time, not to bear sins, but for the salvation of those who eagerly wait for him.” The Lord Jesus came to die for our sins as a holy man in His first coming. The Lord Jesus will come in His second coming with great power and glory. He will come to destroy his enemies and establish his kingdom on earth. The Bible says, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all the angels, then he will sit on his glorious throne.” Jesus is coming again. Jesus said; He will come again. The Lord Jesus, speaking to His disciples before He was crucified, said that He was going to leave them soon. But he also promised to come again soon to take them with him. Jesus said, “There are many places to stay in my Father’s house. If not, did I tell you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And after I have gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, and where I am, there you will be also.” We know that the Lord Jesus is coming again, because He has said so. Jesus said, I will come again. How will he come? Lord Jesus appeared on earth for forty days after his resurrection. More than five hundred people saw him. Then one day he told his disciples that he was going back to heaven. As they watched, he was taken to them and disappeared from their sight in a cloud. While they were standing looking at the sky, two angels dressed in white clothes stood near them after Jesus ascended to heaven and said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing looking at the sky? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, as you have now seen him go into heaven, so shall he come again.” This verse says that in the same way that Jesus went to heaven, he will come again. This means that the Lord Jesus will come to earth personally and for everyone to see. Just as believers saw Jesus return to heaven, so believers living on earth will see him face-to-face when he comes again. What will happen when Jesus comes? Many people think that one day this world will suddenly end and everyone will stand before God for judgment, but this will not happen. Just as there were many events connected with the first coming of Christ, so there will be many events at his second coming. The second coming of Christ will be in two parts. The first part is called Yapchar. At this time Christ will come for His believers. The second part is called revelation. This is the time when Christ will come with His believers to establish His kingdom on this earth.
The word yapchar means to take away or take out. This is exactly what will happen when Christ returns, just before the Great Tribulation begins, He will take His believers from the earth. Yapchar will be a secret event. The Bible says; Christ will come like a thief in the night. The thief comes when you least expect it. It comes stealthily and tricks and steals valuables. Christ will also come secretly and unannounced to His precious ones, that is, His believers. Suddenly all believers, living and dead, will be raised up to meet him in the sky. Jesus is Coming for His Believers When Jesus comes for His believers, three miracles will happen:
1. All dead believers will be resurrected immediately.
The first event at the coming of the Lord Jesus will be that the dead in Christ – that is, the believers who died before his coming – will be resurrected. The early Christians were very worried about the dead believers. They knew that one day the Lord would come to take His believers with Him. But what will happen to the believers who died before that? Will they be released now? Not at all, the first event at the second coming of the Lord will be the resurrection of dead believers. Paul the apostle says; “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with the thunder of the scepter, the voice of the archangel, and the sound of God’s trumpet, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and those who are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the sky and thus we will always be with the Lord.”
2. Living believers will be changed immediately.
The Bible says that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven (1 Corinthians 14:50). To go to heaven we must have a different body and God will give us that body. The apostle Paul wrote, “Behold, I tell you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last sound of the trumpet.” For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.” From these verses we know that there will be a generation of believers who will never die. Rather they will change immediately. This is a shocking truth, but God’s Word clearly tells us that believers who are alive when Christ comes will never see death. Their bodies will immediately be changed and will be like Christ’s glorious resurrected body.
When Christ comes for all of us, all believers will immediately be taken to a place of beauty that we cannot even imagine. Lord Jesus himself will take us to heaven. All this will happen so quickly that the world will not even understand what is happening. Two people will be working in the fields together, one will be taken to be with Jesus, the other will be left. A faithful wife will stay at home with her husband. Suddenly she will be taken to be with the Lord and her husband will be left behind. Parents will be frantically looking for their missing children. Young women will be looking for their brothers, sisters or friends who have suddenly disappeared. Believers will be raptured to meet the Lord Jesus, if you do not believe this, consider all the wonderful things that are being done today. Remember what brought man to the moon. Think of today’s color images sent instantly around the world by satellite. Consider that telephone engineers made a half-inch silicon wire out of sand, with which they could send 13,500 messages simultaneously. If a person with limited abilities can do such amazing things, surely God can do what He says.
What will happen to those who do not believe?
While believers are in heaven with Christ, unbelievers will go through a time of great tribulation on this earth, the likes of which the world has never seen before. At that time, there will be terrible wars, famines, earthquakes and epidemics in the world. The Bible calls it the Great Tribulation. Jesus said, “Then there will be great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world, nor will ever occur again.” At this time, a person called the Antichrist will rule. Antichrist is a person who opposes, it will be against God and against Christ. That Antichrist will perform great miracles, but his power does not come from God, but from Satan. That will be a great deception of the Antichrist. It will trick people and castes into believing it. The Antichrist will cause people to have a mark or number stamped on their right hand or forehead. No one will be able to buy and sell without that seal. All those who worship the Antichrist and bear his mark will perish forever. The Bible says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead or hand, he will also drink the strong wine of the wrath of God, prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath.” ” Perhaps the unbeliever will say, “If all these things are true, and believers will be suddenly raptured and perish, I will believe.” But this is a false hope. The Bible says that when such a terrible time comes, many people will be saved, but these people will be those who have not heard the gospel before. Those who refuse to hear the gospel today will not be saved. They will be deceived by the Antichrist. The Bible says, “Those who perish will come with all the wickedness that deceives them, because they refused to love and live the truth.” Therefore God sends upon them a mighty delusion, that they should believe a lie, so that all who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, may be condemned.”
Believers will be judged. This will be a solemn time for all Christians, as one by one we will stand before the Lord to give an account of our lives. Everything will be revealed. Everything that we have asked that others do not know will be revealed. The Lord Jesus said, “There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed and nothing hidden that will not be known.” Christians who do not obey the Lord Jesus will be ashamed when they stand before Him. All sins that have not been accepted will be punished. Believers who engage in things that do not please the Lord will have to give an account to the Lord for their disobedience. Those who harbor bitterness and unforgiving hearts against others will have to answer to the Lord. Believers who will be raptured with the Lord Jesus will go to heaven with Him. There will be judgment for every believer. That judgment will not be to see whether the believer has been saved. Every believer has eternal life and never loses it. Every believer will go to heaven. But after every believer is saved, he will be judged according to what he has done, good or bad. This judgment is called the judgment-seat of Christ, the Bible says, “For we (believers) must all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, so that each one will be rewarded according to what he has done while in the body, good or bad.”
All believers will be judged.
The Bible tells us that the time to confess and forsake sin is now. Now is the time to mend relationships with others. Now is the time to examine yourself. If we honestly face our sins now, they will be forgiven and we will never have to face them again. The Bible says, “But if we have truly examined ourselves, we will not come into judgment.” The Lord Jesus will not only punish the unconfessed sins of our lives, He will also ask us about those things, which we should have done but did not do. Perhaps he will say to us, “You had some abilities and qualifications that I gave you. You had many opportunities to tell others about the great deliverance that I give. You got many months and years to serve me. Why didn’t you use the qualifications, time and opportunities I gave you?” God will judge our deeds. Everything we say and do will be revealed. Our works will be tested by fire. The Bible says, “Every man’s work will be revealed, for the day of judgment will reveal it. It will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test each one of what he has done.” Things that are done by themselves and for themselves will be like wood, grass and straw. When these things are tested by fire, they will burn to ashes. We will have nothing left to show for such works. The things that we have done in obedience to the Lord and for His glory will be like gold, silver and precious stones, fire does not destroy such things, we will be rewarded for such deeds. The Second Coming of Christ Part 2: The Revelation After the Judgment Seat of Christ and at the time appointed by God, the Lord Jesus will return to earth with His faithful and mighty angels, He will come with great power and glory, He will destroy the antichrist and those who follow him and end the time of great tribulation. . The Bible says, “The Lord Jesus will appear from heaven with his mighty angels in a fiery flame. He punishes those who do not know God, those who do not believe in the gospel of our Lord Jesus. All believers who will be with Christ in heaven will return with Him to reign with Him. First He will come for us, and then He will return with us. Jesus will return with His believers, when will Christ come? The time of Christ’s second coming is a mystery of God. It may be midnight or morning or midday. Many people have tried to tell the exact time of Christ’s second coming by studying the prophecies of the Bible, but they have all been proven wrong. No one knows when Jesus will come, not even the angels of heaven can tell the exact time of his coming, the Lord Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows except the Father, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son.” Lord Yesh can come anytime. Because this is true, we should be ready to meet him at any time. If you are not saved, it will be time to fear the second coming of the Lord Jesus. You will have to face the reign of the Antichrist and the time of the great tribulation. If you have been saved, the time of the second coming of the Lord Jesus will be a time of great joy for you. This will also be the time when we give an account of our lives to the Lord Jesus. If we have served Him faithfully, we can expect to hear from Him, “Hail, good and faithful servant! You will share in the happiness of your master.” If we live only for ourselves and for the pleasures of the world, then we will be ashamed on that day. How many of us wish we could live that life again, but it will not be possible. The time to live for Jesus is now, the time to serve Him is now. Only one life passes quickly, that which is done for Christ, that alone will last. How can we prepare? Lord Jesus is coming again! As far as prophecy is concerned, the great event that will happen now will be the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the last chapter of the Bible, the resurrected Christ says, “Behold, I am coming quickly. I will reward every man according to his deeds.” How can we prepare for the coming of the Lord Jesus? We can prepare for His coming by (1) loving Him, (2) obeying Him, (3) serving Him, and (4) watching for His second coming. If we do these things, we will not be ashamed before him when he comes. The Bible says, “Little children, abide in him, that we may have courage when he appears, and that we may not be ashamed before him at his coming.” If we really love the Lord Jesus, we want him to come soon. Let our daily prayer be: “Amen, come, Lord Jesus.”
Jesus Christ The Spirit of Man Chapter 12 “Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; The soul is indeed ready, but the body is weak.” (Mark 14:38) The human soul is at the center of the believer’s existence. Tent to meet. Inside the tabernacle it represents the holy place. It is the most pure, sacred and most holy place of the meeting place. It is also the place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept and the presence of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God. The human soul is where believers meet God. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). Where the believer and the Holy Spirit interact. This interaction is so intimate and intimate that the physical soul cannot function without the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Ark of the Covenant was the only object that was in the Holy of Holies. Without this the Holy of Holies was an empty room. Likewise, the human soul without the Holy Spirit is an empty, lifeless void. The Bible, especially the New Testament, talks about being possessed by Satan (Matthew 4:24, Luke 22:3, Acts 8:7). It is possible that this possession is seen especially in the human soul. This is important because it explains why Satan cannot possess a believer (although it is still possible that he can influence a believer). The Ark of the Covenant makes sure that no impurity enters the Holy of Holies and does not live. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit also makes sure that there is no impurity in the human soul. Satan is definitely unclean, that is one of the reasons why he flees in the name and presence of Jesus Christ (Matthew 8:22-32, Acts 16:18). Therefore, believers can never be possessed by Satan. This is unnatural. The same is true of worldly believers who are never driven by self. The Holy Spirit is the source of life. This life enters the believer through the human soul. When God breathed the “breath of life” into Adam’s nostrils, he became a living being (Genesis 2:7). God gave the human soul when Adam came to life through the Holy Spirit. After the fall, God broke his fellowship with Adam and the Holy Spirit left him. As a result of which there is no source of divine life in his human soul and this is the condition of all unbelievers in that soul. There are different opinions of theologians, no one says whether unbelievers have a human soul or not, others say that it exists, but it is dead. Be that as it may, the unbeliever does not have a human soul alive to God. Human soul is probably the most important part for human existence. A believer’s life is greatly enriched and alive. When one knows about the human soul, it leads to spiritual life. Man is important to others when it comes to relationship with God, control of life and victory over Satan. Therefore, there is a need for careful study about the human soul. The human soul has three functions. These actions are reconciliation, association, discernment and intuition. This is represented by Jesus Christ as “I am the way, the life, and the truth.” (John 14:6) The way speaks of reconciliation, the truth of conscience, and the life of intuition. He explained the works of the Spirit and you also, the things that happened on the way and how he was recognized by them while breaking the bread. (Luke 24:35) The first work of the human soul is fellowship. Fellowship means much more than simply breaking bread and celebrating the Lord’s Supper. However, this is a demand. In Greek, fellowship means to share something or share something. For the believer, the human soul is a place to meet God, just as it is in the Holy of Holies. It is a place where he reconciles and associates with God. And that place where he knows God. Paul says, “For what man knoweth the things of a man, but his spirit that is within him?” In the same way no man knows the things of God except by the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 2:11). There is no other place where man and God meet. There is no other place where fellowship takes place. There is no other place where man knows God. Jesus Christ is “the way” (John 14:6) This speaks of reconciliation. Reconciliation with God “on the way” (Luke 24) when the disciples on the road to Emmaus break bread with him. Fellowship is not a static activity. This is a walking journey. Enoch and Noah “walked with God” (Genesis 5:22, 6:9) God wants all believers to walk with Him accordingly. In what other ways do believers know Him? As they (the two disciples) were walking, they explained the scriptures written about them (Luke 24:27). And when Jesus was teaching his disciples, he was sitting, but he was always walking. The provision of God’s manna was a daily activity, with exceptions (Exodus 16:19, 16:23). Manna was also a provision for their journey to the wilderness. God wants every believer to walk and fellowship with Him daily. It began in the garden where he used to walk in the cool of the morning (Genesis 3:8). Finally, reconciliation or association is about spiritual relationship with God. nature This is the place where believers are transformed. He is being molded into the likeness of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29) because he spends time with Him. I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit (Romans 9:1). The second function of the human soul is conscience. In this lesson we will look at the differences between moral consciousness (in the soul) and soul consciousness (in the human soul). Moral conscience deals with the possibility of right and wrong or good and evil. But spiritual conscience deals with what belongs to God and what belongs to man. The conscience referred to in this section is the spiritual conscience. Spiritual discernment distinguishes between what is of God and what is of man. It separates the soul from the body. It is very sensitive. When a believer walks in the flesh the spiritual conscience finds the spiritual life empty. But even if a believer’s behavior is good, walking in the flesh is sin. A believer’s sin always breaks fellowship with the source of spiritual life, because a holy God can fellowship with sin. Therefore, sin always produces death in the believer’s experience. Jesus Christ is “Truth”. It talks about conscience. The human soul is the only part of the human body that can truly understand God’s law. But in return it learns about spiritual truth. Because it knows God. It also knows about the brain behind which God’s arrangement is. Therefore spiritual conscience is more sensitive than moral. It is motivated by love with spiritual determination rather than by a set of rules. Spiritual conscience is much narrower and more restricted than moral conscience. For example, the Law categorically forbids murder and adultery (Exodus 20:13-14). However, Jesus raised the bar when he said that anger is like murder and lust is like adultery. (Matthew 5:21-22, Matthew 5:26-28). Jesus spoke eloquently about spiritual discernment. He spoke of a level that is stricter than the law. This is because murder and adultery are external, but lust and anger are internal. He said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup, but the inside of you is full of impurity and hypocrisy” (Luke 11:39). He was saying that the moral conscience can be satisfied by good deeds and behavior modification. But spiritual conscience can only be satisfied by a new heart. He used to say that spiritual conscience is more important than moral conscience. Walking according to spiritual conscience is a healthy way of life for a believer. If he walks by moral conscience/consciousness, the result is always death. But spiritual discernment brings life. Because spiritual awareness is not only to improve the believer and his behavior. Rather, it is to bring him back to the company of God. This is to bring him back to the company of the listeners of spiritual life. But you have received the anointing of that holy one, and know all things (John 1:20). Intuition is the ability to know something without logical analysis. A devotee knows easily why he knows. He cannot give any other explanation. In the world, people often talk about intuition. Some claim to have six senses. They claim on prior notice. They claim that something can be seen before it happens. But in other cases, there are evil spirits at work. Psychology is more than entertainment. They are not harmless. Crystal balls, tarot cards, come and go words etc. as if they are from the devil. King Saul encountered a familiar spirit at En Dor (1 Samuel 28:1-25). This was indeed an encounter with the kingdom of darkness. So these things are nothing for believers. It is important to understand that Satan has an imitation of intuition. In the view of the world, intuition and psychology are only two of them. The third is the duplicate body. People often hear what they want to hear, claiming that you are hearing from God. This is the body. Mostly it works through emotions. Jesus Christ is “the life” (John 14:6) This speaks of conscience. Consciousness is based on having spiritual life or happy life. Aaron’s rod blossomed (Hebrews 9:4) which speaks of resurrection life. God’s leadership is always by God’s side. God’s leading can be known and tested (1 John 4:1) Spiritual life is a test. Satan’s counterfeit intuition brings death, but the Holy Spirit’s intuition brings life. A believer who is seeking God’s leading for specific access, for example, must try very differently. And he must keep trying until life is found. -A.Aj) Plants always seek life. They go in search of its roots under the ground. If the ground is dry, the roots should go far away. Above the ground, its leaves always reach towards the sun. Both sun and water are sources of life for plants. In the same way, the believer should always search for God’s life. This is how he discovers God’s guidance. Insight also brings peace. God’s voice is quiet. This “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12) is the voice that brings peace. A person who is going against God’s leading cannot experience the peace his human soul knows, because it is inextricably linked with the Holy Spirit. But the mind needs to grow. As he trusts and believes in God and walks by faith, he finally understands. He finally says, “I got it.” Great care should be taken regarding intuition. When the Holy Spirit is not a person, it is possible for believers to experience it. Therefore, the believer needs a source of objectivity in his life. The greatest source of objectivity is the Word of God. God’s leading is never against His character and His nature. Therefore, conscience should always be checked against objectivity according to the word of God and should be verified. Local church pastors/teachers are another example of objectivity. As pastors and mature church members grow, the possibility of subjective insight should be examined. It is likely that God will lead the believer beyond the realm of reason. God’s guidance may not make sense from the point of view. But believers are called to walk by faith so that by sight (2 Corinthians 5:17) spirit and soul Because God’s word is alive and powerful and more powerful than any two-edged sword: it pierces the soul and the soul, the joints and the bones, and cuts apart the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no object of creation is hidden from the sight of Uda. But everything is naked and open before the eyes of the one whom we are talking about. In the old covenant, the priest had to slaughter the animal for the guardian. The priests were Sudah and their knives were also very sharp, so that they could cut Jharni and Masi directly. In this process, the animal would lie openly and nothing would be hidden from the priest, so the priest could know what he was doing. God’s desire for believers is the same, except that believers are living sacrifices (Romans 12:1). As He puts us on the spiritual operating table and He executes the great desire in our lives, that desire is to separate from the human soul and face the problems in the soul. Man’s soul was made to be subject to his human soul, for both the source of God’s grace and the source of his nature, the human soul influences his soul, when the soul was the organ through which the human soul would manifest itself. However, this is not always the case. Believers are guided by the strength of their vows. Often such “spiritual” believers do not understand what they are doing. They all speak the right word and do all the right things, but they are still driven by the power of the soul. Mind, emotion and will are the three important parts of life. The human spirit can and should express itself in spite of these manifestations. But each one of these can also use himself and elevate himself, often the spiritual mastery of the human soul appears. Most people know that emotionality is a problem. While some servants partake of the edifice as a sign of spirituality, for many servants it is a problem that needs to be solved. This does not mean that emotions are bad. While Jesus Christ wept for the death of his friend Lazarus (John 11:35) and also for the city of Jerusalem (Luke 19:41), believers should also weep for their loved ones who are lost, especially when grief is at the source of the human soul. But we must also be careful about sentimentality. Intellectualism is harder to find than sentimentality. Especially in the area of Bible teaching it can seem very spiritual. After all, who doesn’t like to hear accurate, well-researched and well-promoted messages? But what about Abhishek? What is God in the message? Even an amazing message is nothing without Abhishek. Even Samata, Greek and Hebrew Shamves, who quote copious amounts of scriptures, are nothing without a certain spirit. It is the anointing of the Holy Spirit by the human soul, which exalts the personality of Jesus Christ (John 15:26), so it is necessary to ask a simple question after preaching the message. Was the message uplifted? Is Jesus Christ? Or preacher? Finally, the most difficult soul trait to discover is will power. But a leader should not use his strong power to persuade people. Rather than using a strong personality to influence others. This is not how God works. God wants to persuade and influence people through the Holy Spirit. It is for this reason that a humble and highly anointed leader achieves such great success. Man is the bread of the soil (2 Corinthians 4:7). And inside this rent is a great wealth. Jesus Christ is inside every believer. And he keeps trying. But he is stuck with Mataka rent. When a believer is absorbed in the life of a soul, Christ cannot appear. So he wants to break that rent so that he can come. He wants to destroy the animal life, so that He can manifest in the human soul. The human soul is very sensitive. And the spiritual man is also very sensitive, animal man and animal behavior can be disgusting because it is considered spiritual. Vachvan Ni writes on this subject , “After the separation of soul and soul, the consciousness of the soul becomes very sensitive. Whenever prana acts, it immediately experiences discomfort. Although it has love or feelings for other living things, it becomes unbearably angry with them. When the division of the believer’s soul is too great, are his pure feelings and intentions genuine.” And he did not allow anyone else to come after him except Peter, James and John the brother of James (Mark 5:37). Peter, James and John were all believers. But they were all different. Different personalities with you are the product of life. Where all individuals differ, there are many commonly recognized personality types. It is generally optimistic that some people may have a combination of these two traits. Some of the following Vudas are found in his thoughts on this subject (hopeful) (kbalangaslav) optimistic life, warm and joyful. No words can hurt him. He is a social person and an enthusiastic person. Peter was optimistic. Risaho (Rijayavichsha) Risaho people are active, hot, quick, practical, decisive, thoughtful, independent and strong willed. He is not a particularly emotional person. But he is a visionary. Paul was such a person. Frustrated (भबिलजाज़ीशी) – Frustrated people are analytical, self-sacrificing, talented, loyal and emotionally sensitive. He is a perfectionist and a perfectionist. A part becomes dark with him. And mood (hayam) is sensitive to change. But he can also be very deep serious and rich. Moses was a prophet. The uninhibited (Ejvinmbatsha) are either uninhibited, slow, cool, calm, and easygoing, balanced, competent, and efficient. He has a dry sense of humor and prefers to be a spectator rather than a participant. They often make good leaders, although they are reluctant to do so. Abraham was a humble man. Personality types can be dangerous within the church. Easy groups can be developed by pairing with the same and similar personality types and selecting people with similar characteristics. Leaders should be especially careful about this matter. A leader who is a leader in his personality can be a big problem. For example; An optimist (kabalangaslava) usually talks a lot. But this does not mean that he always talks about unnecessary things. Finally, personality types can divide the body of God. They can be used by God but first they need to carry the cross. These four natures of the soul are established by the nine natures of the soul: love, joy, peace, forbearance, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The spirit of grace and the writing of the law He has made us worthy servants of the new covenant; Servant not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life (2 Corinthians 3:7). God deals with our sins, our old sinful natures, and the law. Most accept this and understand that God has dealt (Mhabbati) with the two first. But most of us also think that God expects them to obey the law. As long as they do not associate the law with salvation, they will continue to think that keeping the law pleases God. Others think that keeping the law is about thanking God for everything He has done for them. This is their way of saying thank you Lord. And there is a final group, who think that this is the way for the believer to live a good life and he should do it, for this reason he continues to struggle to live according to the law. All these ideas seem logically logical, at least to the natural mind, but is this what God demands? The problem is that the law produces wrong results in believers. This problem is not self-contained. The law is good (Romans 7:12, 7:27). The problem is that believers are not good. As Watch Meny ( ) said, “Ah, there is nothing wrong with the system, but there is something decidedly wrong with me.” The problem with the believer is that when he tries to keep the law, he ends up re-establishing the effects of failure in life. When Adam disobeyed God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, three things happened. First, he placed himself under the law. Rather than being led by the human spirit, he chose to live his life based on the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:6). Second, sin and death entered his life (Romans 5:12). His human spirit was replaced by his old sinful nature, and third, he committed sins. The fruit of the old sinful nature is always sin (Mark 7:21-23). Jesus Christ took all these things on Calvary and suffered the penalty of sin with his blood (Romans 1:1,5:11). God’s righteous anger was satisfied by shedding that blood of Christ. His death dealt with the old sinful nature (Romans 5:12, 6:23). Adam’s old sinful nature died with him, and his crucifixion with Jesus Christ and faith dealt with the authority and power of the law (Romans 7). Above all, there are still many young people who are compelled to do something for God. They don’t believe in the work being done right. Most people think. That something must be done to pay for their sins. The result is disgrace, fear and shame. Many think that the old sinful nature has power over them. The result is a loss of victory over sin. And many think they are bound to obey the law. And the result is the burning of the old sinful nature and the inability to stop sinning. In the previous sections we will briefly look at some aspects of the completed works. This will not be a deep analysis of what Jesus Christ did on that cross. And also we will explain how trying to obey the law can be fatal for the life of the believer. Unfortunately, evangelicalism is very common in churches. It may find its way into the ministries that preach the work accomplished. Rudism is a curse and those who promote it are very subtle. They manipulate guilt, fear and shame (शबलुगबित्व). They may not directly teach orthodoxy to control people, but they have many back doors to bind people. These back doors do nothing but shut out the believer’s life. For I once lived without the law, but when the commandment came, then sin arose, and I died (Romans 7:9). The system can be tricky. More specifically, those who manipulate to use the system can be fraudulent. He seduced the churches of Glanica with the obligation to obey the law (Galatians 3:1-3). Paul called them “fools” and pulled no punches. There is probably nothing that irritates Paul more than orthodoxy. Being a devout Jew, he was committed to following the law. But he knew that the law cannot make man perfect (Hebrews 7:19). Then what is the purpose of the system? If man cannot keep the law, why did God give it to man? Paul answers this and says, “The law was given so that sin might become more sinful” (Romans 7:13), so that transgressions might abound (Romans 5:20), and “that every mouth should be silent” (Romans 3:19). Be a teacher. That we might be justified by faith (Galatians 3:24). The law cannot stop people from sinning. It is powerless in the natural man (Romans 8:3). But it reveals how sinful he is and silences him, and leads him to the point where he feels he needs mercy. As the Watchman (Dhbat Ajambal Lvv) says, when the Holy Law is applied to a sinful man, then his full sin is completely exposed. This is the purpose of the system. It is not only possible for believers to follow the law but it is also counter productive. Conservatism has the opposite effect. Instead of improving behavior, it actually distorts the behavior of faith. That is why Paul said; So when the commandment came “sin is sewn up and I die” (Romans 7:8-11). Keeping the law is actually bringing the old sinful nature back to life, the extent to which believers begin to sin. That is why Paul can say, “The power of sin is the law.” (1 Corinthians 15:56). For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. so what Not at all. Watchman Nee (Dhabtajambal Lviv) said, “If we are not completely freed by law, we will never know that we are completely freed from sin. If a believer does not live by the law, what are his options? The answer is grace and truth (John 1:17). Man is made to live in grace and truth. He doesn’t have to live by the rules. From now on, the system has no right in the life of the believer. This right has been returned to its rightful owner, Jesus Christ. The believer now belongs to a new kind of government. Now he is under the government of grace and truth. This government entrusts the believers with a higher level of responsibility than the law. This makes them accountable to the perfect standard of truth. But it makes the believer a member of the congregation that can clear that level. It provides them with the necessary provision of grace. This does not mean that grace and truth give the believer a free pass and an easy ride. There are also consequences of the believer’s actions. Paul said, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, and teaches us this; We have to live with self-restraint, piety and devotion in this present world by denying abhakti and worldly desires. (Titus 2:11-12) The Greek word for “teaching” is also translated as “chastening.” Thus Paul uses it when speaking of Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom he delivered into the hand of the devil, that he might learn not to blaspheme (1 Timothy 1:20). The edge of God’s grace and the government of truth is ever sharp. After all, who wants to go to the devil’s house of correction? Finally, to some extent, the working style of the government of God’s grace and truth may be similar to that of law. But the table below shows that there are many important differences. Discipline brings punishment It gives strength to the body It is the letter of death It tries hard to man It brings grace and truth It brings faith It causes the softness of the body It is the word of life It restores fellowship with God It brings life The characteristics of spiritual life Now the God of peace Himself sanctifies you completely, And may all your souls, souls and bodies be preserved in a faultless condition until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Spiritual life is all inclusive and complete. God wants to be involved in every part of the man’s life. He wants every part of the believer’s being to be joined to Him and He wants the believer’s Christian faith to include the human soul, soul and body. Unfortunately, many believers do not think this way. For them, their Christianity is weekly church fellowship and occasional Bible study. You have divided your life, some time for God and most of it for yourself. They have divided everything, especially their time and their money, but the most terrible thing is that they have divided the earthly from the heavenly, the temporal from the eternal, and the physical from the spiritual. God has a different plan for believers. He does not want any division in the life of the believer. He does not want to give any material things from believers when they keep material things for themselves. This is because Jesus Christ is both physical and immaterial. He is both physical and spiritual. He is both man and God. This great truth has been under attack for 2000 years since He revealed Himself. Many religions and some Christian sects have repeatedly denied his divinity, while Gnostic groups deny his humanity. Other religions, especially Hinduism, believe that the material world is evil or evil. So many choose to turn their backs on the material world, believing that spirituality precludes the immaterial. Unfortunately, such philosophies have made their way into Christianity as well. Picture God wants us to occupy the entire house and reserve the first floor for believers and God does not want the second floor reserved for God. This can only happen in the body of Jesus Christ where Christ is the head. Both are a combination of materiality and immateriality. Jesus Christ is both man and God. And the body of Jesus Christ is a miraculous union of physical personality with spiritual reality. This happens when the separation of materiality and immateriality is removed. This happens when the two layers that separate the floor are removed. And then it is when the clause between those who ask God is broken (Ephesians 2:14) that God and man can finally live in the same fellowship. This is what God wants. He wants His Son to leave the boundaries of man’s immaterial existence and occupy His physical part as well. As Bill Freeman said, “Jesus is not happy when our souls are limited. He wants our souls to be completely filled. But be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Spiritual life requires the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who makes spiritual life possible. He is the power behind spiritual life. Some ministries teach that the fullness of the Holy Spirit can be earned, or that it is reserved for a limited number of chosen believers. It really isn’t, which is why Paul commanded all believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Even so, Tozar (Tyshabhach) said, “You don’t have to convince God at all.” There is no need to celebrate. Dr. Simpson (Mr. Kshmukyaal) used to say, “Being filled with the Holy Spirit is as easy as breathing, you can breathe in and out.” According to the original Greek, the commandment to be filled with the Holy Spirit is a continuous act. A believer cannot say that ten years ago I was filled with the Holy Spirit, today I do not need it. Breathing is a continuous process. A person who ceases to breathe dies, so a believer who ceases to breathe in the Holy Spirit dies spiritually. Finally, the fullness of the Holy Spirit is not an emotional experience, although it produces joy in faith. Rather, it imparts God’s life to the believer. It offers the same life that Jesus Christ revealed in his 33 years of life on earth. God’s life is the source of strength in the believer’s life. Therefore, a believer filled with the Holy Spirit manifests the same qualities as Christ did. With him there is such peace, such love and such joy etc. You have purified your hearts by obeying the truth through the Spirit to love the brothers sincerely; Therefore love one another deeply with a pure heart (1 Peter 1:22). Spiritual life is based on truth. In his last address to Israel, Samuel said; “Serve Him in truth with all your heart.” (1 Samuel 12:24). Truthfulness is important in the life of a believer. It helps them to grasp something. It is an anchor for his soul (Hebrews 6:19). When everything falls on him, he stands firm by relying on truth. God showed Amos the plumb line (Amos 7:7-8) The plumb line speaks of absolute, unchanging, consistent truth. A plumb line cannot be false. It always gives an absolute straight line. It does not even care about the country and latitude of the person. Even if the person is standing on a crooked building, the Sahu gives a very straight line. The same truth is for God’s truth. This is always true in any situation. There is a house in Eland, where everything is beautiful. Every angle, every wall, and every corner is crooked. There was a grandfather clock in one room. To a casual observer in the room, the clock appears to be tilted away from vertical. It also looks crooked. But the pendulum of the clock is right; It shows that everything in that room is crooked but the clock is straight. The reality is that everything in the room is broken except for the clock. This is determined by the plumb line. By casual observation he is straight and everything else is crooked when he thinks objectively. But from the objective view of the plumb line, it is known that the person is actually crooked. Believers can be such that without the exact truth of God they can begin to believe that they are the best and are better than others for God. He can evaluate his life by the surrounding environment. He can start being subjective. But the medical view of God’s righteous objectivity can set him straight. This may indicate that he is wrong and in need. That is why it is so important for a believer to live by the truth. Now when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch of fish.” (Luke 5:4). Spiritual life is inherently unstable, at least visually. It’s unexpected, on the edge and out of the box. In the Chronicle of Narnia (Rijachalayashvi or Labakalashb) R.K. The author has demonstrated this matter according to his understanding. Safe “Weaver said: You don’t listen to Mrs. Weaver. Who will do what about security? Of course he is not safe but he is good. He is the king, I tell you.” Mr. Weaver said this in response to Aslan’s (Bakbil) question, Aslan who is a picture of Jesus Christ in this book. Jesus Christ is not safe, at least in appearance he is good. Most aircraft are aerodynamically stable. This is why they are able to fly. If the pilot releases the controls, the aircraft will return to a straight and stable flight path. The plane also corrects itself if it suddenly comes into the air. Unfortunately, the stability along the gap works against Pai’s efforts to control the aircraft, reducing the aircraft’s dynamics. This is a real problem with modern jet engines, where maneuverability is critical. And because of this many modern jet fighters are not aerodynamically stable. (ii) The Gnat was the first unsteady aircraft to be built. This instability reduced the aircraft’s tendency to fight pitch and increased its maneuverability, but this intelligence in operation meant that the aircraft could only be flown with the help of computer systems. It was not possible to react quickly enough The pilot could not hope to fly without the help of another source. (D) Gyat offers an interesting analogy with spiritual life. A believer’s life is unstable, at least visually. But it is also very dynamic. A believer can therefore do much, because his life is unstable. If the believer rejects this for the sake of a stable life, he is putting his life in a place where there is nothing, where he is unable to do anything He is like the boat that is sitting on the shore. He is not going anywhere. He needs to leave the shore. It may be less stable and full of danger He is there to help him. His life can bear fruit only when he does this. “But in the Holy Spirit you will have power; and Jerusalem, Sarah In Judea and Samaria, you will be witnesses to me” (Acts 1:8). In the Greek New Testament, power is translated by many words. But the most important of all is the grace and salvation that are given to both believers (Luke 9:1). Magalbashka means ability. Come by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). The Greek translation of the ancient word magalbashka generally refers to the strength of armies. In the same new covenant it shows the power of God. Magalbashka is used to denote the miraculous work and mighty work of the Apostle and Jesus Christ; (Matthew 11:21-24, Mark 6:2, Luke 19:37, Acts 6:8, 19:11). God’s power (magalbashka) also gives every believer salvation at the time of his salvation. The believer also has power against his three enemies, the world, the body and the devil. Paul made great use of power (magalbashka) in his epistles. It is of particular importance to believers, because it is the power that applies to their lives. For example, he says that “preaching and faith are the sources of God’s power (magalbashka), and not of man’s conscience (1 Corinthians 2:4–5) (magalbashka). He also said, “We are weak in Him, but through God’s strength (magalbashka) we will live with Him (2 Corinthians 13:4). In others he says that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to his ability to work within us (Ephesians 3:20). Magical power is a gift from God and this gift can only be used in God’s nature. When Simon the magician tried to buy this power for his own personal use, Peter said to him “Let your money perish with you, for you think that the gift of God can be bought with money”. (Acts 8:18-20). Bhayagakashba (power) means authority or power (Luke 9:1). Strictly speaking, Bhyagkashba does not come through the Holy Spirit. Magalbashka comes through Abhishek, Bhayagakashba comes by sending. And also Magalbashka and Bhayagakashba are frequently mentioned together in the New Testament. Moreover, ability and authority go hand in hand. One cannot be with you without the other. God’s good pleasure includes both “willing” and “doing” (Philippians 2:13). “Willing” is Bhayagakashba “To do” is Magalbashka. In the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Greek word usually refers to dominion states. Bhayagakashba brings with it a post or office. God has given rights to believers in this world. But the believer should use this right carefully. He does not use it to hurt others. Paul warns the Corinthians, “But take heed lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak” (1 Corinthians 8:9). While it is clear, Paul is talking about the freedom of the believer. He is waging a strong war against abuse of rights. This kind of abuse can cause great damage to the church. (James 1:5-8) “But if any of you needs wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all people with an open heart, and does not hold back; And it will be given to him. But let him ask faithfully without doubting at all; Because he who doubts is like the waves of the sea tossed and tossed by the wind. Because that person should not think that he will get anything from the Lord. A double minded man is fickle in all his ways”. Spiritual life is evidenced by divine wisdom and discernment. Yaqub talks about two types of wisdom. The first kind of wisdom is wisdom from below. This is the wisdom of the world, of the flesh, and of the devil (James 3:13-16). This kind of intelligence or human reasoning is often associated with higher spirituality. But it lacks spiritual spirituality. The results are instability, uncertainty, jealousy, despair and doubt. People who live by this type of intelligence are often double-minded and have trouble making decisions. The Greek word for doubt (mygadat) is translated as “mshbapachashlaya” which is also translated as another word analysis (blabathishav). Analysis is a big problem for two-minded people. When presented with choices, he sees pros and cons in all of them. But he does not feel God in him. His problem goes back to the Garden of Eden. If a person has a problem with decision-making, it may be that he is being driven by prana and may eat from the tree of good and bad. The second type of wisdom is wisdom from above. This is the wisdom of God (James 3:17-18) It is the spiritual application of this principle. This kind of intelligence is combined with spiritual intelligence. The results are constancy, certainty, holiness, peace, meekness, obedience, mercy, honesty, faithfulness and faith. (Luke 11:34) and live a fruitful life. They are able to make good decisions, because they can distinguish God’s presence and guidance. Divine wisdom and spiritual conscience go together. When Jesus healed a man blind from birth, his disciples asked, “Teacher, who sinned, or his parents, who was born like this?” (John 9:2). They were driven by wisdom from below. They were of two minds. Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but the works of God were meant to be revealed in him.” -John 9:3) The disciples were looking for the guilty party while Jesus was only interested in the work of the Father. Divine wisdom and spiritual discernment see God’s Word as a source of life, not as a set of rules. Paul said, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” (2 Timothy 3:16) The word “breath” is a translation of the word tzabhayaulbhayachatyak, which literally means God breathed. This word is not used anywhere in the Bible. Nor can it be found in any other Greek writings. Paul coined this word because no other word existed that could describe the Bible. For this reason, some Greek scholars believe that we have no real structure to it, so it is also translated as “breath of God”. When Paul wrote this letter, God breathed on sins. Two thousand years later, God speaks the same words to us. God breathes the spirit of life into us. When the apostles wrote the New Testament; They were living on it. And when we read the Bible we get that much life. Divine wisdom and spiritual conscience look beyond the controversy of right and wrong. They get life. It is a very beautiful thing to behold; As believers seek God and divine wisdom in all things. When they experience great pain, such as the loss of a loved one, they process it through praise and worship. When they lose their job, they see another chance that God is teaching them something. When someone abuses them; They see opportunities for growth. And when they see the world falling apart around them, they see the divine hand of God. They allow that everything happens for a purpose. Understanding God’s hand in the details of life, although the members are many, but the body is one (1 Corinthians 12:20), the unity and diversity of the spiritual life is characteristic. To the natural mind, those two things may seem contradictory. But the natural mind cannot understand the spiritual life. The problem is that the world thinks in terms of conformity and division. Paul warns that, do not be conformed to this world (Romans 12:2). And warns that “Satan disguises himself as an angel” (2 Corinthians 11:14). The Greek words “Kgkakazhazbatshay” and “Ṭhbtbakazzhabatshay” are translated as a nase. Both of them talk about external changes. They affect the soul and the body, but have no effect on the human soul. Conformity is not the same as unity. It is a purely external and vital activity. Often when a person wants to make a difference: Tinhiru is accused of being ignorant. It says to them, you are not with us, and “this is not Taparka as we act around.” ” But Jesus did a great and varied work. And he did the same thing in different ways. For Uddhaharuna, he had a similar formula to cure this blind man. In one case, he used clay (John 9:6) while in other cases he did not (Matthew 10:51-52). The use of soil is unnatural. What was important was that he is God. However, it is not out of the realm of possibility that two separate factions may have arisen due to these miracles, the Matoists 9 Tjava : Gamagashtabhak 0 ÷ and the anti-Motoists 9 Blatash – gamashtabhak 0 . Proponents of conformity may actually believe that they are bringing unity to the church. After all, everyone seems to be growing at the same pace. But it’s just that those who disagreed with him were silenced or driven away. Their efforts to enforce conformity have actually destroyed both unity and diversity. Their efforts to enforce uniformity have actually led to division. Bruce Olson 9 Dychgav Ecial 0 experienced the impact of conformity while ministering to the Motilon Indians in Venezuela. Other servants insisted that converted Indians dress like them, go to their church buildings and sing their songs. By doing so, they were abandoning Motilon rites completely. Bruce knew it was wrong. He knew that this was not the gospel taught by Jesus Christ. And when he realized that the missionaries got a certain amount of satisfaction from seeing the Indians dressed like Westerners and singing Western songs, he had to ask himself, “Was there only one way to worship Jesus? Bruce decided, before that moment, that he would now preach the true gospel. It must be a conscientious and faithful consideration that efforts to conform may even injure the gospel. For spiritual people, the answer is unity and diversity. Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, which gathered every kind” (Matthew 13:47). And Dawood also said, “See how good and beautiful it is for brothers to live together.” (Psalm 133:1) Diverse believers can live in unity within the spiritual dimension. Paul says “oneness in the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3-6). He speaks of Christ’s one body, one spirit, one hope, one God, one faith, one baptism, and one Lord and Father. But he does not speak about a soul. Oneness and unity exist within the human soul; It will not be inside the soul. This is an internal action, not an external one. And it is not something that can be built. This is what God should do. In the human soul, when we read and walk, we automatically celebrate diversity and unity. Spiritual believers have a relationship with God, and are free to be the diverse people God created them to be. Unity has nothing to do with everyone being equal. Instead, when diverse people are accepted, then there is unity. A simple plant can be used as an illustration of how conformity can be destructive, and how unity and diversity can exist. Flowers represent the souls of individual believers. They are different sizes, different heights, and sometimes even different colors. They are diverse. But they have the same root, which represents the human soul and the Holy Spirit. There are many different types of fruits, but root is unique. With him there is both unity and diversity. Conformity sometimes tries to make all the flowers together. As it does so, it crushes the flowers and kills the plant. Death is always the result of trying to conform. Finally, some may say, diversity leads to confusion. They may say, everyone needs to be on the same page. But a book has many pages. They may also say, it would be easier if all believers talked the same way, but this is a natural reaction. “God is not a God of confusion, but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:13). Confusion came from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is a double minded man who is confused (James 3:16) A confused person is only natural and vital. But in the mature believer there is complete peace. And it grows, grows in unity and diversity. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24). Spiritual life needs a cross. When a believer dies with Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6, Galatians 2:20) his body remains with him. Therefore, it is a great hindrance for Krush to work in his life to kill the works of the body. Some believe that the world and Satan are the greatest enemies of the believer, but the number one enemy may be the body. When a believer lives in the flesh, he puts himself at the center of life. Then his life becomes very small, he puts himself in the center of life. Then his life becomes very short. (2 Corinthians 6:12). The cross deals with the old life and enables the new life to become a practical reality. Then the believer gets a new source for his life. That source is the life of Jesus Christ. It’s not always a fun process. Even though the body is dead, it does not want to pulse. He does not want to accept this. The case is usually a conceit. So God has to show the stubborn believer how low and unpleasant he really is. This is what God did with Job (Job 40:4) Only then do believers begin to experience that the old nature really needs to be dealt with. Even then, the body won’t let it happen without a fight. But as Bill Freeman said, “You don’t have to wait until you feel like dying. Let the Cross work on it in the midst of the struggle for survival”. Humiliation is important to the life of the believer. It is important that the believer’s body be humiliated. Only then can he think about the value of the cross. Jesus often offended people (John 6:61) and it connects people with alternatives. They can be separated from him, they can take up their cross. Many choose the third option, they choose to face the insults directly. They choose to remove the insults, so that the cross can be neglected. They choose not to let God deal with them. They may be in the local assembly but they have prepared for themselves a safe haven where they can save their lives but God knows they are here. And in time they are discovered by the cross. The work of the cross is not a one-time work nor is it limited to certain areas of the believer’s life. God wants everything to be given to Him, especially those things which the believer holds with great devotion. What is considered dear varies from one believer to another. But one thing is certain, these things cannot be hidden from God. Often a believer will reminisce about God’s dealings with him a few years ago, but that was all in the past. God has something He wants to do for today. And that something is definitely included in the cross. As Paul said, “I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31). Remembering past behavior is another form of pride. It is just another thing to deal with God. The process of death and resurrection does not stop until the believer goes home to be with God. Zeniguyo – Vvabalalav Nganyal) said, “The door that leads to life first leads to many deaths. With each behavior comes another part of the spiritual life.” But this way of life always comes with a twist. Many believers believe wrongly. The work of the cross removes joy and comfort, and they believe that their activities for God are somehow immune or exempt from these works. Instead of promoting the work of death, they exalt the works. But as Michael Molinas (the author of the book) said “there is a big difference between doing this and suffering and dying”. If the work of ministry is very important to the believer, then God may tell him to take it to the cross. One may ask why God does this after all God’s work is not important? Yes, but this is God’s work and He does not need anyone’s help and He certainly does not want it, they did it in the work of ministry. The cross is God’s greatest gift to eternal man. The cross frees believers from the bonds of self-life. And allows you to rejoice in God’s life. Michael Mollison has said, “Happy is the man who has no other thoughts but has not let his nature die.” The hope of the cross should make people happy. But how often does this happen? We need God in everything, even in our death we cannot crucify ourselves. As Bill Freeman explains, “God gave us such a clear vision of the experience of the cross, its outward aspect, its inward aspect, its operative aspect. The external aspect is related to our environment. The inner aspect is the exercise of our soul to take up the cross to face every new situation. And the operative aspect is the matter of trust, trust, clearing and then following the past of life. Be like a child. Who know nothing but obedience, and are enemies of research and spiritual life (Hebrews 10:25) and who are habituated to others. Let us do this. Adherence a. 1 To be together with the body of God and the pastor teacher. The body of Christ may be the least valuable and least valued of all God’s spiritual provisions. Many believers attend the church. They read their Bibles, pray, and do many other things that other believers should do. They may even participate in a Christian ministry. Such as evangelism and meetings, but more than a week, they can hang with the world. They may be with their school friends and colleagues but may give little thought to God. This does not mean that those who do not live in God are not friends of believers. After being, he can be the only witness of God for those companions. But believers need the body of Christ. Believers often go through a period of temple nirasa. They need help. They need encouragement, sometimes they need preaching. The only place where they find real spiritual excitement is the body of Christ. There is a fake form of enthusiasm in the world. Their enthusiasm includes sentimentality and back-slapping. Regarding the new man, he does nothing to improve. True spiritual enthusiasm should be salty. If necessary, it should include a cross. It always creates new people. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) It is always making the new man and killing the old man. Every believer is called to live under the teaching of the pastor teacher in the local church. God sees the old man torn down and the new man built up, and he uses pastors to do this. At least temporarily, the ministry of the pastor is better than his pulpit for a few hours. This ministry changes people. As Paul said. “Challenge them strongly that they may be firm in faith”. (Titus 1:13) Paul’s instructions to Titus are harsh, but necessary. He has the best interests of God’s people at heart and these are the guidelines that every pastor should follow. In other words, the body of Jesus Christ is a very powerful umbrella for every believer, no matter what gift he has or what position he holds. Even a person with a great preaching gift or a person with the gift of evangelism needs the umbrella of the body of Christ. Samson was a gifted man and killed many Philistines during his lifetime. But he was also very self-reliant. He did not believe that he needed anyone’s help. God dealt with him and allowed the Philistines to bind him and blind him. In his desperation, Samson had to call a young man to help him in his final victory over the Philistines. (Judges 16:26). “As a result he killed more at his death than he had killed in his life”. (Tgamakabha Gyatsaghan) Samson needed the body of Christ. In the same way, this is true for all believers. At the end of the day’s work in the world, the Body of Christ welcomes you for refuge. The body of Jesus Christ is the only place where this can happen. This cannot be done at home. This cannot be done by going to a bar or going to the gym. This can only happen in the body of Jesus Christ. God does it this way. “But now God placed the organs one after the other in the body as He pleased.” (1 Corinthians 12:18). Therefore, let no believer say that I do not need others (1 Corinthians 12:21). The main enemy for the body of Christ is always talk. (2 Corinthians 12:20) are division of souls (1 Corinthians 1:12) and partiality (1 Timothy 5:21). At any time believers can pick out certain people and they can cause a division in the body of Christ. This does not mean that believers cannot have a small group of good friends. Anyway, these friends should be based on spiritual relationship. Rather, they should be inclusive, not exclusive, in personal relationships, and they should seek to reach out to people, rather than push them away. Try to make yourself acceptable to God, like a workman of Christ who should be ashamed, who carefully separates the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15) Discipline number: 2. Study of God’s word. A believer who does not study his Bible is suffering spiritually. He may attend 3 or 4 meetings a week. He can listen to programs on radio or tape. He can also read Makti Kitab. But his time with the word of God makes the difference. Berien has given an example of this. Paul preached the gospel to you. And “you received the word with all readiness, and searched the scriptures daily to see whether these things were true or not” (Acts 17:11). The Varians needed two things. They needed Paul’s teaching and preaching ministry. But they also needed time for their personal study. Without both of these, it was possible that you would never have become believers. Likewise, this is true for every believer, if he desires to grow. He needs to be both under the book within the book. He needs both, the preaching and teaching of his pastor teacher and his personal study time for the Word of God. God’s word is a living book. It includes the life of God. When a believer studies the Bible, it breathes life into him. (2 Timothy 3:16) It is more than a collection of words, even though translated from the Bible in the original language. The Bible’s doctrine, sometimes spiritual practicality, will correct a person’s thinking, calm his emotions. It will direct his will, purify his conscience and make him conscious of who he is in Christ. It will affect every part of his life. Meditating on the word of God is also important. Qualitative study is as important as the consequential study of the believer. This is even more important. Chaspach Pada Meditating on one idea throughout the day can be very beneficial for a believer. There are many voices that want to speak to us, including the old man inside each of us. When we stop listening to ourselves and start talking to ourselves, our lives change. The believer needs to take charge of both study and meditation. If he wants to be spiritually healthy. The main enemy of the word of God is the projection from the world, the flesh and Satan. Television can be a destructive force for the Christian life. Sports, entertainment, politics and world news can be distracting and sometimes depressing. These things are not so bad in themselves. Behind them sits “the god of this world”. (2 Corinthians 4:4), the rulership of the heavenly authorities (Ephesians 2:2), which exercises all aspects of the world. To excite man’s flesh and to bring God’s Word out of his life. So when Jesus took the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” And he bowed his head and surrendered his soul. (John 19:30) Anusasa: No. 3 Understanding grace and completed works. The finished work means the eternal security of the believer in Jesus Christ and that he cannot lose his salvation. This is not a general principle. It is the center of the true gospel and is very important for the good psychology of the believer. Almost after every completed deed a believer meets another believer who thinks he may lose his salvation. Such a believer is not sure about his salvation. And he is not happy. If a believer is not sure that he is alive, then he is in a worse psychological state than an unbeliever. Unbelievers will go to hell, but he has lived his life in ignorance. The uncertain believer, on the other hand, knows that hell is real, and he is not going there. As a result, he lives his life in constant fear and worry. He is not a good witness. After all, why would a careless unbeliever want to live like an anxious believer, and one who thinks he can lose his salvation?
God bless you
I have never sinned? Reference: Let’s not make a joke of sin: Definition: Sin can never give people joy and satisfaction, it can never make them happy, so in today’s world, no matter how many things we desire and entice, all the things that make us happy, all those things are related to sin. No matter how many “pleasures” people look for today, they practice all those things in sin. But God also wants to give us rest, peace, contentment and eternal joy. He has a special way of giving this, but not through sin. So – what we should note here is that even sin gives temporary pleasure, for a while, – “The nature of sin is that it makes many promises, it advertises everywhere” “I give you more than you need” I want to satisfy you, I I want to make you happy, I will fulfill all your heart’s needs, needs and wishes and desires, but only if you accept it, accept my offer and become devoted to me. Sin is like this. Around us today, sin is making such advances in the world. Unless we accept this offer of sin, it cannot affect us or affect our lives. But when we take it, if we accept it, what will it be like when we put a pebble in our mouth and chew it? As a result, it robs us, like: “It robs us of our time, it robs us of money, it robs us of our youth, it robs us of our family’s happiness, our peace, it robs us of everything we have.” What would you do if everything you had was taken away by the evil world like this? It advertises very large and very precious promises, says it will give you everything you want and more of it in abundance, but in others it results in very little, and it gives pleasure only for a moment in time. – Both of them – Today in the world, people are living in this pattern, walking on this path. They clearly know that this is a sin, a very sad thing, and yet they readily accept and practice this sin. – So – they think that it will give me as much as it promises, maybe – if I get it, I get everything in the world, everything I want, or o: when it comes to hand, the result is different from what I thought and It is different, there is nothing, neither peace, nor joy, nor contentment, what have you done to me? Many promises have been announced before me, but I am empty here? Am I free? Moreover, I am paying back, everything that I had, it robbed me, I became empty, look at my situation, I am empty. Giving me real eternal life, giving me eternal love, giving me eternal peace and joy, I was in the world and showed only momentary joy, excitement, desire, but look back at my situation, my future is dying, am I in hell with all fours? why Why did you scold me? why Why did you bend me? When I was in the world, when I was in nursery class 1, 2, 3, through, through, I studied until I became a doctor, I became an engineer, I became a pilot, I became a scientist, there was no one who was famous in the world like me, who knew and understood as much as I did, when While studying these teachings in the world, our parents taught us that humans came from monkeys, while studying in school, our teachers taught us that we came from monkeys, while we were in the world, someone told us about God. No one ever taught that God exists. There was a Christian in our village neighborhood, he used to tell about God all the time that God loves you, but we called him a fool, abused him and treated him badly, but today I am in hell today, why? The devil will be asked why I was punished, and the devil will say that it was only my announcement to bring you to this place to bring you to hell with me. If we believe in a teaching, that teaching is not correct, if we believe in a religion, if that religion is not true, where does it lead us? The Bible says, God created man in his own image, today people here are saying that man came from monkeys. If these people continue in this state, they will one day be in hell together with Satan. So – it never happens as it is shown in the advertisement, outward appearance is an advertisement of beauty to the world, but God is not the beauty of appearance advertisement, man thinks by looking at the appearance, but God looks at the heart. Therefore, let us refuse the offers and advertisements of various desires of the world of Satan, and seek the will of God and glorify Him by living an honest and good life with the fear of God. So – “We never love sin, how much we love to sin, some sins are pleasurable and unwanted. If we love that thing, it is always my old man, the old sinful nature, but the new man hates sin, the old man loves sin, and sin also gives temporary pleasure, for a certain time, but the new man hates sin. does, the new man does not sin, it cannot sin, because it is made in the image of God, (Ephesians 4:24) The new man is created in holiness, (Romans 12:2) Now it is completely new. From now on it cannot even touch sin. Does not sin, because God does not sin, my new man is created in the image of God. It has the image of my father, it is created in the righteousness of God. Making a joke of sin: A fool who has a mind, knowledge, wisdom and conscience, can distinguish between right and wrong, but a fool does not use his intellect, a fool says that God does not care, thus they make a joke. (Psalm 14:1) But we do not make fun of sin, because in the eyes of God this sin is very serious. God cannot even look at sin completely, (Habakkuk 1:13) He hates it. But the old man says, when I sin, it makes me happy, I do it well, maybe God likes me when I do it? Old people think this way. But God hates sin, because “sin is so serious that it crucified God Himself. We hate it.” We love God.” The more we love God, the more we hate sin. If I have loved sin, I am not loving God. So now I hate sin and love God, as He thinks, as He loves, I know clearly, I refuse sin. Because it never gives me satisfaction, joy, it always leads to nothing, it spoils, it also destroys my built house. In the history of the world, until today, sin has not created any human being, it has not saved anyone’s future. But it only leads to hell. But Jesus Christ came to save the lost and raise the fallen to give eternal life. Jesus Christ came to this world to forgive us all our sins, to give us salvation and eternal life, and shed his most precious blood on the cross. If you believe this now, you too will get salvation. God loves you with eternal love. We can ask Lot about sin, and his answer is that the worst thing I have ever experienced is sin. Jesus says, Jesus Christ experienced that sin to see how innocent it is. We only sinned, but He bore the sin of all the people of the whole world, and while bearing that sin He was forsaken by the Father, “The result of the sin of wickedness He was completely forsaken by the Father, how bad is this” He became a stranger, forsaken by the Father and the Holy Spirit. When the father looks, “Who is this?” I don’t know, I don’t know,” he became a human stranger, don’t know who he is? What does it mean to be abandoned? Separation due to sin. Everyone is a sinner, Jesus can tell, today we can ask Sodom and Gomorrah, what is sin? What is sin? Perhaps today’s world is like today’s world, the system is the rule of the world. If we go to hell and ask, what will they say about this? Perhaps they answer like this, Do you know that sin is such a wonderful thing, if you eat it, it is so sweet for a while, that it is sweeter than a drop of honey, do you know, have you tasted it? , but eat it too, if we eat it, if we eat it, if you commit this sin, we rejoice greatly in it, rather you also go, drink a little of it, eat it, accept this offer. Get this ad for free. Hell is celebrating sin today. When there is any sin in the world, what a wonderful thing hell is raging. This sin is celebrated by the world and Satan. But when God looks, does God rejoice in this matter? Oh God does not celebrate sin but hell does. Remember, there is only one life, your one-time life, you have to eat, you have to drink, you have to be happy, you have to live in joy, you have to eat, drink and be happy, let’s take advantage of life today, let’s enjoy the fun of the world, what will happen tomorrow, who has seen it? This is how life is going to be, isn’t it? Will it work? Who has seen it? I should have said that I am God for me, if there is a God, then either he judged me or punished me? I have my own favorite Gods, I have my own religion’s Gods who make me happy when I live like this when I do this. I have my own favorite gods. Remember, the very sad thing is that Satan has made people so blind and so stupid in the world today, (2 Corinthians 4:4). Today, the educated people of the world are under the yoke of sin, and the intelligent people of the world are bound by sin. And those people say, life is fun, come and enjoy it with us, they say it’s like that, both women – Jesus says, it’s not like that Have we understood the price of the label? (Sin is a credit card) What happened to celebrating today? Be careful, you are not a believer? Remember, tomorrow you will have to pay a very painful and expensive price for that sin. As I paid the price of my most precious thing to buy the people of the world, so I shed my precious blood, gave my eternal life to you on the cross so that you may have my never-ending eternal life. In the same way, you will also have to suffer a huge loss of sin, you will have to pay a high price, and as a result, one day you will be in hell. Listen to me, maybe if you believe in Jesus Christ today,Jesus pays for all your sins. Nothing in your entire life can ever pay for the sins you have committed. Romans 6:23 Your whole body is sick with the disease of sin, but only Jesus Christ is the cure for that sin. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Remember your only life in which you are celebrating sin, its suffering price is very high. (Credit Card) You know, hell loves us sinning, because they know how powerful sin is, when we eat it, drink it, accept it, become one with the world, it slowly leads us to nothingness, it is taking us to hell. We find such people in the world today. So – if you look at more people in the world today, life is really based on one thing, how can I be different from others, how can I be the best, how can I reach the forefront, how can I be satisfied, how can I be happy, how can I fulfill my desires and wishes? , how to get ahead, how to steal from others, this sinful nature is so selfish that it only wants to take from others, but does not want to give. How can I be happy and satisfied? I only want to gain, but Jesus said, “In what you lose, you gain.” Be careful, don’t you fall into the lust of these things? Even if you are a believer, you are not busy with the material desires of the world. Are you not participating in these things? You are not a Christian, maybe you are not born again. Be a believer in the world, so don’t be attached to the world (stay away from the form of evil). (1 Corinthians 5:11) But we do not make fun of sin: it is true that, eating sin, drinking sin, taking sin, rejoicing in sin for a while, but remember that Jesus Christ is more sweet and lovely than all your sins. . Be careful, do not sin anymore, but find out what pleases the Lord, what is His will. Both – : This world does not know how sweet Jesus Christ is, (1 Peter 2:3) If you have tasted Him, have you tasted us? How sweet is the Lord? How testy he is. He is so lovely, fragrant, sweeter than the fragrance of the lily of the field. How much is Jesus Christ desired? For us to take from him what is with him, if you would have known, there is peace, contented rest, eternal life many times more pleasant than your sin. So, what we should desire is Jesus Christ. What is our intention? With what intention are we doing this work? What is our purpose? So to give this sweet thing to the world, Jesus Christ bought us with his most precious thing on the cross, that was the blood of Jesus Christ, grace, mercy, love, eternal life, eternal rest, peace, joy, satisfaction, all the things you want, the things we want in life only in him. All our joy and satisfaction is hidden in Him. Our life is hidden in Christ. The only source of our life is Jesus Christ. Without God our life is meaningless. (Psalms 27:4, 84:10, 119:36–37)
When we are struggling with a sin, if I like the proposition of a sin to which I am inclined, -wke- : I like a sin that gives me pleasure, I think, but what gives more pleasure than that instead. yes That is Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ I can’t give up sin, when I test Jesus Christ, He is so sweet that the momentary pleasure of that sin is nothing, (just like when you ask someone who has gone to hell, 90 years of life in this world is just like being bitten by a scorpion, he says I Rather than living in this place, I am ready to suffer and die for Jesus Christ in the world. Give me a chance, don’t you?) Jesus Christ is so sweet, that I have never had such joy, but today I found that joy in him. He is so tasty that he is even sweeter than a drop of honey. (Psalms 19:10) Both: I have no desire in this world, only Jesus Christ is worthy of desire. My whole life is hidden in him. He is so sweet, that’s why from today I give up that bitter and futile sin that gives me momentary pleasures of my whole life’s desires. I am enough in him, a single glance between me and him is enough. He is the center of my life. So: I have never eaten any delicious food, so far I have been eating only junk food and junk food. How do I know about sweet? No one has ever told me about delicious food, now I don’t even know what is delicious. But when someone once tasted that sweet thing to me I got that taste, now I want to have more, of course now I go after that thing, I want to find it. Today, people in the world are running to survive for two days to get good food. As the people of this world run after the things of this world, so I run after the eternal things. (Philippians 3:13-15, Colossians 3:2) Now I know, understand the importance of life. I will sell everything that I have with me, my wishes for years, my dreams for years, my needs and desires, my worries, lacks and needs, my grief, fear in the world. And I want to have that one thing, which is to have the new creation world, because we are not made for this world. I want to get that eternal thing, only Jesus Christ is enough for my life. I now know the truth and I will not sell it anymore (Proverbs 23:23). Have I tasted Jesus Christ? Have you tasted Jesus Christ? God is saying, I made you, I created you to rejoice in my joy. (Nehemiah 8:10, Isaiah 43:7, Philippians 4:4). But God wants us to rejoice in the things of God, the source of your joy is on Him. When we look at what you are doing here, the children play with it, in childhood they enjoy it, but when we look at it from our point of view, “What are you doing there?” Real things are here, things to build a house, things to build a future, things to get married, real things are here. I want to give you eternal things, things that will last forever. What are we doing? Do you enjoy it? Are you happy with this chip thing? Do we rejoice in the things of this earth? I’m giving you real things I’m giving you real eternal things I’m offering you a house I’m offering you marriage I’m offering you eternal life I’m offering you to be with me in heaven What great and beautiful things I have in store for you I am, I want to fulfill all your wishes, make your future, I have great goals and plans for your life. I created you in my image, to glorify me and to be with me forever. But you are building a house of clay and a future of clay, it means that you are enjoying the temporary things of the world. “Look up a little higher, think wide, what have I done for you on the cross?” Think of Christ, think of that sweetness. The Lord says, I created you to rejoice in my Son, “Rejoice now in my Son as you wish.” Rejoice only in my Son, for that joy I sent my Son to the cross. In my Son you can find everything, in him is hidden the source of all your life. I have created you so that you can have all these things. So what can be all my wishes? What do we want? Even if I don’t tell anyone, I ask my deep heart what do you want? Maybe my old self wanted things outside of God. I schedule, I want this, “Maybe I want a nice house, I want a nice job, I want a nice car, I want the best husband or wife, I want a nice get up, if you want to get it, get up, maybe the things you don’t want the most in the world. Wants and demands, but I ask my new man, what do you want? I want God, I want Bible college, I want to see God’s beauty all my life, I want fellowship, I want to be the apple of Christ’s eye, I want Jesus Christ, (Matthew 6:33) Take away everything in the world, just give me Jesus Christ,The source of my whole life is in Him, I rejoice in Him, He is the Jesus Christ I cannot desire. Has Jesus Christ become your whole desire? Have we chosen that precious Jesus Christ? Do we know him? Have we decided to glorify him? Of course, it leads us on the way to the future, the goal of life, the destination, and the purpose of life, which is very great and precious, John 14:6. Question: Do we all have free will? What do I choose? Death or life? Heaven or hell? Eternal or transient? Both: Our choices today, the decisions we make today determine our future, show our future. Therefore, thinking very seriously, what are we doing with this beautiful life given by God in this world? It has to be accounted for! Therefore, think very carefully and decide to follow God. 1. There is a package that has everything in the world, it is full of everything, but Jesus Christ is not there? 2. On the other side of the package is only Jesus Christ, nothing else? Now who do you choose? Beloved, when we choose Jesus, Jesus gives us everything. There is no such thing with Him that He cannot give us the things we want, Christ is the source and center of everything we need in our life, He has everything, He satisfies us, gives us satisfaction, gives us joy. There is nothing that is not with Him, there is nothing that He cannot give me, only He can give me what no one in the world has given me so far. Because the whole heaven belongs to him, he is the one who made this whole earth. He has created every part of our body, He has given us eyes to see and ears to hear. Even this precious life of ours has been created by Him to glorify Him. He alone deserves to be desired more than all things. Our God is so beautiful, our God is so sweet, our God is so loving, our God is so kind, so merciful, so gracious. Let’s search the Bible, let’s taste and see, let’s try to test him, he’s really a spiritual tester, he’s sweeter than honey, I don’t want him. He is very beautiful, charming and the best. Now the things that give temporary happiness in the world are slowly fading away, fading away? But now I have found the sweetness that Jesus Christ shines in us. Let us adopt Jesus Christ, let us wear Christ, let us adopt the character of Jesus Christ and his heart. Let’s taste the joy and sweetness that Jesus Christ gives, we will get joy, peace, satisfaction and satisfaction that will last forever, many (billion) times more than our momentary sin. But sin never gives us joy, rather it takes away the joy that we have, it shows many things in advertising, but in reality those things are not like that, it is only an empty shell, only an appearance, its result is gravel in the mouth and death in hell. Therefore, let’s not ignore the beautiful life that God has given us, but let’s make good use of the time from today, and let’s glorify God by living a good, decent, disciplined, humble and holy life by fulfilling God’s will. What can be done to make fun of sin? Today, people in the world say, “Oh, I killed a girl, raped, killed, wow, I won, I robbed, I blew it, the world is scary. How people in the world today boast about themselves, they want to earn name, they want to get prestige, dignity, honor, and respect. They want to go to the highest position. They seek their praise and glory. They are sinning, and yet I won, “Look at me, oh how smart I am,” how clever I am, there is no one else like me, just look at me, how many people have I lied to, how many people have I cheated. I am doing good. When they rob people, when they deceive people by telling lies, when they easily persecute people, when they make people suffer, those people celebrate happiness and joy. And so many others that we cannot explain, this is how people today make fun of sin. This is the biggest mistake in the eyes of God. Be careful, if you are a believer, are you doing these things? Aren’t you a Christian? Therefore, let us not be foolish, but let us try to learn what pleases the Lord. Practice in your daily life 1. Don’t be deceived, don’t be deceived, there is no joke in God. [Galatians 6:1-3] 2. God takes sin seriously, and cannot even look at it. [Habakkuk 1:13] 3. We should not consider this thing to be trivial or normal. [Hebrews 4:2] 4. The sin is so serious that even God Himself was crucified. [2 Corinthians 5:21]
Today’s Context Verses: Open your Bible and meditate on these verses. (Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, Ephesians 4:20-26, 1 Corinthians 6:19, 2 Peter 3:10-14, 1 John 4:20, Hebrews 11:25, John 15:18, 1 Peter 1:19, 14:6 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 1:12 3:3) .
Word of God! Based on its premise, it is one of the most serious messages I have prepared so far. We live in a time where it is very important that we be able to make ourselves acceptable to God, to be able to use the Word properly; We study to know God’s mind and apply it to every situation (2 Timothy 2:15). Of course, this includes having His heart and being filled with His Spirit. Mere intellectual stimulation according to knowledge may make a person passive and bloated, but it does not make one spiritual. When a believer receives knowledge, he may be excited: but when he is filled with the Holy Spirit, inspired truth becomes personal. He realizes that he does not know a single thing as he ought to know, but he is available to learn (1 Corinthians 8:1-2). Some of the characteristics that characterize a Spirit-filled worker include generosity (which is God-conscious), and humility (which enables us to focus on academic discipline). “He will lead the meek in the path of justice; And he will teach the meek his ways.” (B.S. 25:9) Paying attention to the word of God is the highest form of worship. Therefore, since God is Spirit, we must worship Him “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). Our conduct should not be one of warring, but of thanksgiving and praise, (Psalm 100:4), with a wonderful reverence for who He is, (Hebrews 4:1). This awakening is being welcomed throughout the body of Christ to prepare us for what will happen in the coming years. It is very important that the things written in this text are taken from the heart. These words are not from a man, these verses are the words that have already been spoken by God. A promise that does not fail . He has given rest to his people Israel. Not one of the best things that He promised through His servant Moses has failed.” (1 Kings 8:56) “But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one point of the law to pass away.” (Luke 16:17) “Point” is the Greek word for “point,” which refers to the tip of a pen. In English grammar, it refers to the structure of the letter “ta”. As God is saying, it is much easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the tip of a pen to fail. Think about it! Not one letter, not one letter of God’s word will fail. This verse of Luke was written fifteen hundred years after Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. How many promises do you know? How many promises do you claim? I want to ask you this: In all those years, can you name one promise that failed? It won’t go away “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night! Consequently you will be able to carefully observe all that is written in it; For only then will you make your way successful, and only then will you find success.” (Joshua 1:8) “This book” will not be removed. This does not mean that those songs will not be removed, since some of them are precious. It says, “This book”. This book! That means we should read it, study it, go to church and take it. Heaven and earth will pass away, but this book will always be with us, as it grows. I go to church three days a week because I go to listen to this book. This book will not go away.
Nothing more to it
“For I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book – that if any man adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues written in this book; And if any man shall take away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion from the book of life, from that holy city, and from the things written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18-19) Who has the authority to add to this book? no This warning is not only in the book of Revelation, but throughout the Bible. Deuteronomy 4:2, 11:18-22, 12:32 Proverbs 30:5; Matthew 4:4; And you can look at 2 Timothy 3:16. If something is added to this book, how much does God live, as you think, think? He doesn’t stay that long. If you think that immorality and adultery are okay, and if you think that God will not do anything about it, then you are wrong. What will God do? You can read it verbatim. “The traditions written in this book” God will add to them. Don’t be like a child; Even today there are traditions in this world. Storms are also common. Bhumris are also common. Diseases are also common. I am not trying to say that everyone who is sick now has a cold. Some of the good believers in this world are suffering because of what we planted as a nation. “And if any man take away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life.” God will remove his part from the book of life. Who said that? Did the man say that? No, it is God who says this. Infallible Words of Prophecy The Bible has always existed. It was given to man at certain times in different periods of history, but before man took it, the Bible was always there (Psalm 119:89). “We have also a more sure word of prophecy, in which ye give heed and do good as unto a light shining in a dark place, until the light of day break, and the morning star arise in your hearts; And know this first – no prophecy of the Scriptures is of your own interpretation;” (2 Peter 1:19-20) We cannot personally interpret what the Bible says. This is not a personal concept. In our Bible College classes, we delve into the original language and historical instructional system for each passage we teach. And throughout this message, you will be given certain chapters and verses, letter upon letter and teaching upon teaching, (Isaiah 28:10). Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Every church should be a church of books. People need to bring their Bibles, open their Bibles, take notes, and watch what the pastor says as he teaches the words. Being a pastor, what I want for us is to be prepared with God’s word to meet God. As always, we are ready. Very soon, only one thing makes sense, and that is the Word of God.
This is not the time to be discouraged, discouraged, or partially obedient. This is the time to be the man and woman of the book. Let’s decide for this book, let’s live the purpose of this book, let’s go all the way with God’s Word and Holy Spirit. God will add other things for us. He has promised that He will do it, and He will do it (Matthew 6:33). God has exalted his word above all his name. “To your holy temple I will bow down and praise your name for your mercy and your truth; Because you have exalted your word above all your name.” (B.S. 138:2) This is a very interesting verse. “Your name” refers to the nature of God, who He is. He is merciful, kind, long-suffering, patient and true, truth refers to education. What has God placed above who He is? He has kept his word. His word is above his reputation. “O Lord, establish my steps in Your word and let no iniquity reign over me!” (B.S. 119:133) Adharma is an emotional rebellion against legal spiritual rights. Father’s authority is in the home, if it is legal, it is right. The main person of that business has the right over the business and workers. But he answered and said: “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God'” (Matthew 4:4) and see also Deuteronomy 8:3. Remember that we do not know a single thing in the way we are supposed to know. If we had known, we would have ascended to heaven by now. Consider that, being a good worker, you try to do your work honestly and correctly. Good businessmen are honest and hardworking. They do not lie in their work. Devoted singles work hard to be honest and truthful, and they do not lie to their children. They aim to be a good example. Now, picture the responsibility a pastor has. 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 3 explain his accountability before God. If he does not preach the whole truth, he will receive a double chastisement, (James 3:1). While members of the congregation may receive chastisement from God for disobedience, the pastor receives even more chastisement. Do not be angry with the man of God for preaching this book. He is doing his work, and he is being faithful to his calling. Be careful to listen to everything that the Lord Jesus said about this book. It is a wonderful experience to minister and read from the Bible. Not one point will pass away (Luke 16:17-Matthew 24:35). Not even a single word, not even a letter, not even a part, not even a dot, will pass away. We cannot spare just one day to listen to it. We should get education every day. Luke 8:18 and Mark 4:24 tell us to be careful how we listen, and to be careful what we hear, because we will have to answer before God for how we receive it, (1 Peter 3:15 / John 12:47-48 see). If we don’t hear it, we will need to answer why we didn’t go, and why we didn’t hear it. Believers will not be judged for their circumstances, God’s Word will be judged for the opportunities they receive while in those circumstances. The nations will be judged because they have refused the opportunity to listen to the teaching that comes from the pulpit that preaches the whole purpose of God. Many people live in such a community, where even a Madanli who preaches the word of God with determination; And also, they may go through terrible problems, but they will never be freed because they did not take advantage of God’s provision, (2 Chronicles 30:8 ÷ Matthew 23:37). “And God said” “And God said: “Let there be light!” Then there was light.” (Genesis 1:3) I love it. How did you come to be Jyoti? God only spoke the word. And God said: “Let there be a gap between the waters; And let it separate water from water!” (Genesis 1:6) God decided that He wanted a gap, (atmosphere), so He divided the waters, and established a gap. He spoke, and the gap came. And God said: “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, and let the dry land appear!” That’s what happened.” (Genesis 1:9) God wanted the waters to separate, and the earth to be dry, so he divided the waters into seas and oceans. The Bible says that God said so, and so it was.
