Есть много христиан, who become born again and begin to walk after the Spirit, but after a while something happens and they go back to the Old Covenant and begin to apply all kinds of rules, нормативно-правовые акты, ритуалы, пиры, и т. д.. в их жизни. Why do Christians go back to the Old Covenant? What causes Christians to return to the Old Covenant?
God created man and His relationship with man was perfect
Когда Бог создал человека, the relationship between God and man was perfect. Адам был сыном Бога, who was created after the образ Божий. God walked with Adam (мужчина) and they had a perfect relationship, just like God intended His relationship with man to be. Until the moment arrived, that Adam succumbed to the temptation in the flesh and became disobedient to the commandment of God and sinned. Due to his disobedience, the relationship between God and man was broken. Man fell from his position and lost his dominion and authority on the earth, which God had given to man.
The spirit of man died. Because of that man was no longer connected by the spirit to God, but man was connected by the flesh to the devil. Because of man’s obedience to the devil, грех (obedience to the воля дьявола) вошел, with the result that death, which is the wages of sin also entered and reigned in the flesh of man.
Man was no longer spiritual but became carnal and sense-ruled. And sin and death reigned in the flesh of man.
Дьявол (царство тьмы) had taken the dominion and authority of man through lies and by sowing doubt. Because Adam believed and obeyed the lie of the devil above the truth of God, the fallen angel Lucifer; the devil became the father of fallen man.
Fallen man was put beneath the angels and became in bondage under the elements of the earth.
Fallen man got the same nature as his father; the fallen angel Lucifer (дьявол). Therefore the nature of the devil would be present in the flesh of everyone, который родится от семени Адама (мужчина).
Out of love for mankind, God found a way to have a relationship with mankind, until the Messiah would come and reconcile man back to God and restore the broken relationship between God and man.
The covenant with Abraham and his Seed
Аврааму же и потомству его были даны обетования. Он не говорит, И к семенам, как и многие; но как от одного, И к потомству твоему,, который есть Христос (Галатам 3:16)
God established His covenant with Abraham and his Seed (Иисус). The circumcision in the flesh of every male would be a token of this covenant. The circumcision was for God a token of His covenant and His promises and for the people of God, it was a token of dedication to Him.
The circumcision in the flesh took place on the Восьмой день (Генерал 17:10-11). Even if the eighth day was on a Sabbath day, the circumcision still took place.
The eighth day refers to the day of the New Covenant and the new creation, кто обрезанный во Христе, by putting off the flesh in the baptism in water (Читайте также ‘Что означает обрезание во Христе?' и 'Восьмой день, день нового творения').
Тора
430 Years after the promise of God to Abraham and his Seed, God redeemed His people from the oppression of Pharaoh and led His people out of slavery into the promised land. God appointed Moses as His representative and gave His people the закон греха и смерти.
Закон, which is written in the Torah (Gen-Deu) was given by God to His covenant people after the flesh; Израиль, 50 дни после Песаха. Тора, the written word of God, contained the instructions for the old carnal man, who was trapped in the sinful flesh.
Каждый, who would be born of the seed of Israel belonged to God’s covenant people, of which the men would be circumcised in the flesh on the eighth day according to the first covenant. Каждый, who belonged to God’s covenant people after the flesh, had to obey and keep the law of Moses to walk in righteousness.
Закон греха и смерти
Through the law of Moses God could have a relationship with the old man, who is sense ruled and walks after the flesh in which sin and death reigns. That’s why the law is called the law of sin and death (ПЗУ 8:2)
Because of the fact that the law contained commandments, which were meant for the old man, who is sense ruled and has the nature of the devil and walks after the lusts and desire of the flesh, Бог сказал: «Thou shalt not…».
Because the flesh is full of pride, завистливый, эгоистичный, jealous and rebellious and has more love for himself then for God.
The flesh does all those things, that doesn’t please God and are an abomination to Him. The flesh goes after other gods, враньё, cheats, Крадет, commits adultery and fornication, is unfaithful etc.
All the works and deeds, which God mentioned in the law of Moses and were an abomination to Him, were done by fallen man and the pagan people; язычники.
God didn’t want His people to be involved with their unclean works and heathen practices.
Дав закон, God not only made His will known to His people, but His people learned Его выбор and to discern good and evil; righteousness and unrighteousness.
Through obedience to the Levitical priesthood, keeping the law with all its commandments, пиры, observances (обрезание), ритуалы, food laws and sacrificial laws, God could have a relationship with His carnal people, until Jesus would come and redeem man from the rulership, dominion and the yoke of the devil, Который царствует во плоти.
The ten commandments on tablets of stone
The Torah was given by God and meant for the old carnal man, who consists of a body and soul. Since the spirit of the old carnal man is dead, Бог, Who is Spirit, made His will known to His people by giving them His law.
God wrote the ten commandments on two каменные таблички, which represented the heart of the old man.
Why did God write His ten commandments on two tablets of stone? The commandments, which related to God and the first commandment ‘Люби Бога превыше всего, всем сердцем, разум, soul and strength’ were written on the first tablet of stone. On the second tablet of stone, God wrote the commandments, which were related to the second commandment ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.
На этих двух заповедях основан весь закон и пророки. (Мат 22:40).
The redemption of the flesh of the old man
Ибо вот завет, который Я заключу с домом Израиля после тех дней, говорит Господь; Я внесу Мои законы в их умы, и напиши их в своих сердцах: и я буду для них Богом, и будут они для Меня народом: И не будут учить каждый ближнего своего, и каждый человек его брат, говоря, Знай Господа: ибо все познают Меня, от меньшего к большему. Ибо Я буду милостив к их неправде, и грехов их и беззаконий их я больше не вспомню. В том что Он говорит, Новый завет, Он сотворил первое старое. Теперь то, что разлагается и стареет, готово исчезнуть (иврит 8:10-13)
Throughout the whole Bible, Бог пророчествовал о пришествие Мессии, the new covenant and the coming of the Holy Spirit, Who would abide in the new man (Ой. Бытие 3:15, Псалмы 22; 16:10, Исайя 7:14; 53:4-12, Иеремия 31:33-34; 32:40, Иезекииль 11:19-21; 34; 36:25-28; 37, иврит 8:10-13; 10:15-16).
Jesus the Christ would redeem man from their flesh, in which the sinful nature of the devil reigns.
God promised to put a new spirit within man and take the heart of stone out of the old man and give a new heart of flesh, in which the laws of God would be written upon. This promise was fulfilled by the coming of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit dwells in the new creation and has received the nature of God, therefore the will of God is written upon the heart of the new man.
The law was the school teacher for the old man
Но прежде чем пришла вера, нас держали в рамках закона, закройтесь перед верой, которая впоследствии должна открыться. Поэтому закон был нашим школьным учителем, чтобы привести нас ко Христу., чтобы мы могли оправдаться верою. Но после этого пришла вера, мы больше не подчиняемся школьному учителю. Ибо все вы — дети Божии по вере во Христа Иисуса. Ибо все вы, во Христа крестившиеся, во Христа облеклись. Нет ни еврея, ни грека, нет ни залога, ни бесплатного, нет ни мужчины, ни женщины: ибо все вы одно во Христе Иисусе (Галатам 3:23-29)
The law and all the commandments of God, which are written in the Torah were a schoolmaster for the old man. So that the old man, who is sense-ruled and lives after the flesh, would know the will of God and His way and by keeping the law, man would serve God and walk in righteousness.
The Torah was meant for the flesh of the old man. But since the flesh is распятый во Христе, через регенерацию, the flesh doesn’t live anymore but is death, and therefore the Torah no longer applies to the new man, кто живет по Духу.
The new man is holy and righteous through Jesus Christ
God has given to everyone the ability to be redeemed from the flesh of the old man, with all its lusts, желания, iniquity and sin, by faith in Jesus Christ and Его искупительная работа на кресте, and by becoming born again in Christ, so that the old creation will become a new creation; сын Божий.
The new creation is no longer a servant but has become a son of God, who is made holy and righteous by the perfect work об Иисусе Христе и Его крови.
Новый человек, who is born of the Seed of God and has become a spirit, shall walk after the Spirit and shall no longer be ruled by his senses, чувства, эмоции, вожделения, и желания, which reign in the flesh.
God’s will become the will of the new creation because the new creation is born of Him and has His nature.
Из-за этого, the new man shall исполнять закон, точно так же, как Иисус, Who is the living Word of God and fulfilled the law by walking after the Spirit, по воле Божией.
The relationship between God and man restored in Christ
The perfect relationship, which God had in the beginning with Adam was restored in Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ man was reconciled to God and God could have a relationship through the Holy Spirit with the new man; Его сын.
The Torah can no longer be applied to the new man, который ходит по Духу. Since the Torah was meant for the old man, who walks after the flesh and умер в Иисусе Христе.
The only thing of the Torah that is still valid and still applies is the will of God, which has been made known to us by His commandments through Jesus; the Word and the habitation of the Holy Spirit.
The new creation is free of condemnation
Итак, нет теперь никакого осуждения тем, кто во Христе Иисусе., которые ходят не по плоти, но после Духа (римляне 8:1)
A born again Christian, who has been made holy and righteous in Christ and walks in His commandments after the Spirit, doesn’t live in fear under condemnation, который присутствует во плоти. The person has been made free from the law of sin and death, which works in the flesh, к putting off the flesh and by walking after the Spirit and the law of the Spirit.
As long as the flesh stays dead, Нет никакого осуждения. But as soon as the person returns to the kingdom of darkness and do the works of the old carnal man and lives after the flesh in sin, тот закон греха и смерти becomes active again and the person shall live with fear, feelings of guilt and condemnation.
50 Дни после Песаха, God made His will known in both covenants
В Ветхом Завете, Бог открыл Свою волю Своему народу 50 дни после Песаха, by giving the Torah to His carnal covenant people, who belonged to the carnal generation of fallen man; Старик (The feast Shavuot).
In the new covenant, Бог открыл Свою волю Своему народу 50 дни после Песаха, by giving His Holy Spirit to His spiritual covenant people, who belonged to the spiritual generation of the new man (Read also ’Вы знали….. 50 Дни после Песаха')
The new man is born of God and has become a son of God and lives in freedom after the Spirit in obedience to Christ. Since the new man has become a son of God, the Spirit of the sonship lives inside the new man, who calls Abba Father (ПЗУ 8:15, Девчонка 4:4-7).
Why do Christians go back to the Old Covenant?
Однако, здесь много христиан, who are born again and have become a new creation and start right, but slowly go back to the Old Covenant and to all its rules, нормативно-правовые акты, ритуалы, пиры, laws and apply them in the New Covenant to the new creation. But that’s not how God has intended it to be.
All the feasts, ритуалы, жертвы, правила, regulations and the priesthood, that belonged to the Old Covenant, don’t belong in the New Covenant. There is a reason why it is called the Old Covenant.
If the New Covenant is a better covenant and has replaced the Old Covenant, why do so many believers go back to the Old Covenant and apply the feasts, правила, нормативно-правовые акты, observances, ритуалы, which were meant for God’s carnal people Israel, в их жизни? Then they should also keep the sacrificial laws and resume the sacrificing of animals.
Paul warned the believers many times and asked the church what had come on their way and why they went from the Spirit to the flesh and went from the New Covenant to the rules and regulations of the Old Covenant (Ой. Девчонка 2; 3:1-5).
Единственная вещь, which has not changed is the moral part of the law, which are the commandments of God, that represents His will and His nature.
Воля Божья is the same in both the law of sin and death, which refers to – and works in the flesh of the old carnal man, as in the law of Spirit, which refers and works in the spirit of the new man, одинаковый.
If you don’t read and study the Old Testament from the Spirit and the mind of Christ but from the flesh and the carnal mind, there is a big change that you will be tempted and misled and go back to the Old Covenant and put a yoke upon yourself by keeping all observances, ритуалы, feasts and apply them to your life, while they are never meant for you, которые стали новым творением, but were meant for the old carnal creations, who belonged by natural birth to God’s covenant people Israël.
The true sons of God walk in the New Covenant and establishes the law
В Новом Завете, it’s all about you being обрезанный в Иисусе Христе and that you have become a new creation in Christ (римляне 8:9-17, Колоссянам 2:9-12, Галатам 6:15, Тит 3:5-7).
If you have become a new creation in Christ and the Spirit of Christ lives inside of you, then you belong to Him and you shall keep His commandments and walk after the Word and the Spirit and establish the law.
Верующие, who are led by the Spirit of God and lives after the will of the Father in righteousness, they are the true sons of God.
