尽管事实上, 圣经是世界上销量和阅读量最大 的书, 《双倍尔》也是世界上最有争议和被攻击的书. There are many countries that are afraid of the Bible and therefore have forbidden Bibles. 这并不奇怪, since the Bible is the only Book in the world, wherein God reveals Himself and the truth by His words. The Bible is so powerful that it divides soul and spirit and changes lives. But is the Bible still considered as the true and eternal Word of God and do Christians spend time in the Bible? Is the Bible the center and the highest authority in their lives? Do believers raise their children daily in the Word? Is the Bible still compelling and relevant to Christians or do the hearts of Christians go out to other books and is the Bible faded into the background or even completely disappeared from their lives?
The sons of God spent time in the Bible; 神的话语
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 彼得 1:22-23)
人一旦重生, which means that the flesh has died and the spirit is raised from the dead in Christ, and the person becomes a new creation, the person shall long to spend time in the Bible and search the Scriptures and feed themselves with the words of God. Because the Holy Spirit, Who abides in the new creation, draws the new creation to the Word of God and desires to be in unity with Jesus Christ; 这个单词, 和父亲.
就像耶稣一样, 神的儿子, withdrew Himself to spend time with the Father, 那些, who are born of God and belong to Him shall also withdraw themselves to spend time with Jesus Christ and the Father in the Word and in prayer (另请阅读: 信徒的秘密祈祷生活).
因此，我们确实知道我们认识他, 如果我们遵守他的诫命. 说, 我认识他, 不遵守他的诫命, 是个骗子, 真理不在他心里. 但凡信守诺言的, 在他里面，神的爱实在得以完全: 因此我们知道我们在他里面. 自称住在他里面的，自己也应该这样行, 即使他走着 (1 约翰 2:3-6)
The Bible is the Word of God and possesses the truth. Through the Bible, you shall get to know the real Jesus Christ and the will of God and His Kingdom.
The more time you spend in the Bible, the better you shall get to know God and His will. And by believing, obeying, and doing the words of God, you shall walk as Jesus Christ in the will of God (另请阅读: What is the purpose of God’s Word in the lives of people?).
The Bible should be the highest authority in the lives of the sons of God
And He (耶稣) answered and said unto them, My mother and My brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it (卢克 8:21)
But He (耶稣) 说, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it (卢克 11:28)
The Bible is the power of God and should be the highest authority in the lives of every born-again Christian, who has become a son of God. 很遗憾, this is not always the case.
Many Christians don’t consider the words of God as credible, compelling, and relevant, but consider the words of God as outdated, dusty, and old-fashioned that don’t fit in today’s society. 正因为如此, the words of God are no longer believed, obeyed, and applied but are adjusted, 改变了, and/or rejected.
The ruler of this world doesn’t want people to find out the truth and discover the lies of darkness in which many people live, and therefore he adjusts and corrupts the words of God very subtle through modern Bible translations and false teachings of man, and besides that he keeps the people away from the truth and the Kingdom of God by keeping them away from the Bible; 神的话语 (另请阅读: A new Bible translation; the GEB 和 How Jesus is thrown out the church).
He tempts, seduces, and entertains people with the things of this world (另请阅读: 让我招待你!)
那些, who are born again and walk after the Spirit shall spend time in the Word and consider the Bible as the truth. To them, the Bible is compelling and relevant and the highest authority in their lives.
然而, 那些, who are not born again and don’t have the Spirit of God, but the spirit of the world, shall not long to be with Jesus and the Father and spend time in the light of the Word, but they shall rather spend time in the light of the world; the light of their phone, 电视, (赌博)计算机, ETC.
圣经对基督徒来说仍然有说服力和相关性吗?
因为神的话语是快速的, 和强大的, 比任何双刃剑都锋利, 甚至刺入灵魂与精神的分裂, 以及关节和骨髓, 并且能洞察内心的想法和意图 (希伯来书 4:12)
But Jesus answered and said, 它写成, 人不能单靠面包活着, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (马修 4:4)
Many Christians don’t consider the Bible a compelling spiritual Book, which contains the life of God and reveals the will of God and is relevant and needed for the spiritual man to grow up into a mature son of God and to stand against all the temptations and wiles of the devil.
They don’t consider the Bible as the Sword of the Spirit and don’t know how the handle the Sword of the Spirit in the ongoing spiritual battle.
反而, they walk in pride by thinking, that they know the Bible after reading the Bible so many times.
But as long as someone doesn’t walk and lives as a mature son of God in the will of God, as Jesus walked in the will of the Father, someone doesn’t know the Bible completely
You can have a lot of head knowledge of the Bible, but head knowledge doesn’t do anything with a person, except that it puffs up a person and exalt himself above others.
You don’t enter the Kingdom of God by having head knowledge of the Bible, even though many people think they do. But that’s because, despite their head knowledge, they don’t know the Word experientially nor have the Word abiding in their heart.
And so many Christians are misled and lead defeated lives and are controlled by the spirit of the world.
They rather feed themselves with the knowledge and wisdom of the world and rather listen to what ‘learned’ people have to say and consider their words as the truth and walk by faith according to their words.
Is there a difference between believers and unbelievers?
Because they believe the words of the world above the words of God, and because the words of the world that correspond with the will of the flesh, are the highest authority in their lives there is hardly any difference between people, who say to believe and call themselves Christians and unbelievers.
Their minds, 字, and opinions hardly differ from each other, except that one says to believe that God exists and believes in Jesus Christ and the other doesn’t. But their walk, works and life are many times identical, since they walk after the flesh and are led by the same spirit that reigns in the flesh (另请阅读: 如果基督徒像世人一样生活, what should the world repent off?).
Most Christians are carnal and are led by the spirit of the world, just like unbelievers. They walk after the flesh and are led by their feelings and what happens in the natural realm. They are dependent upon situations, the surrounding, and people, 就像世界一样. Their outside world determines how they feel and determines their state. In short, their lives and well-being depend upon external factors in the natural realm.
They follow the same path as the world and read all kinds of books, written by man, instead of the Bible and engage in various teachings, 方法, and technics that often derive from 人的哲学 and other religions that are popular in the world, whereby the carnal man is strengthened and the spiritual man weakens. Through all this carnal knowledge they defile themselves and enter sideways, which eventually leads to the abyss.
The devil wants to keep you ignorant
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (罗马书 10:17)
The devil, 谁是世界的统治者, shall do anything to keep the people away from the Bible and eliminate the Bible from people’s lives, because the devil knows the power of the Word.
Without the Bible and the renewing of the mind with the Word of God, man shall never get to know the will of God and shall never find out the Truth, and shall never walk by faith in the will of God and that’s exactly what the devil wants (另请阅读: 上帝的子民是否因缺乏知识而被毁灭?)
