В 1 Джон 1:7, it is written that the blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God cleanses us from all sin. This Scripture is often cited and used for the justification of sin and used as a permit to sin, after someone comes to the faith in Jesus Christ. But under what condition does the blood of Jesus cleanse us from all sin?
How can you discern the children of God from the children of the devil?
This then is the message which we have heard of Him and declare unto you, что Бог есть свет, и в Нём нет никакой тьмы. Если мы говорим, что имеем общение с Ним, и идти во тьме, мы лжем, и не правда: Но если мы идем во свете, как Он в свете, we have fellowship with another, и кровь Иисуса Христа, Сына Его, очищает нас от всякого греха (1 Джон 1:5-7)
How can you discern the children of God from the children of the devil? You can discern the children of God from the children of the devil by one thing, а именно, whose will are they doing on earth?
The children of God are born of God (через возрождение во Христе). They belong to God and recognize His voice and listen to His voice (Читайте также: Can the voice of God be heard today?)
They believe the words of God and obey His words, whereby they walk in righteousness according to His will.
The children of the devil belong to the devil (through natural birth) and listen to his voice.
They believe his words and obey his words, whereby they walk in unrighteousness according to his will (Читайте также: Воля Божья против воли дьявола).
The children of God have fellowship with God and walk by faith in the truth of God’s Word, whereby they walk in the light. And as long as they walk in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses them from all sin. This doesn’t apply to those, who walk in darkness.
The blood of Jesus doesn’t justify the wicked, who walk in darkness
There are lot of people, who say they are children of God and live in fellowship with Him, while they walk in darkness and keep doing the works of the flesh. But as long as people walk in darkness and do the works of the flesh, their works testify, that they are not children of God and don’t belong to God, but that they are children of the devil and belong to the devil (Ой. Джон 8:44, Ефесянам 4:17-5:21, Колоссянам 3, 1 Джон 3:7-10).
Children of the devil walk in darkness in sin. They are carnal and do the desires and works of the flesh and enjoy doing them.
The children of God walk in the light in holiness (отделенные от мира и преданные Богу) and righteousness. They are spiritual and do the will and the works of God and bear the fruit of the Spirit.
A lack of knowledge of God’s Word destroys the children of God
But because many Christians have a lack of knowledge of God’s Word and are not led by the Word and the Holy Spirit, but are led by their feelings, эмоции, and the opinions and experiences of preachers, many Christians live in a lie and walk on sideways that lead to the abyss (Читайте также: Многие пасторы ведут овец в пропасть).
Through false doctrines that please the ears and feelings of Christians, the works of the flesh are not put off after repentance, but Christians keep doing the works of the flesh and persevere in sin, thinking they are saved by the blood of Jesus. While the Bible says something different than what they believe.
They believe they are saved, despite their lifestyle and the works they do.
Но Библия говорит, что все, who is born of God doesn’t sin (упорствовать в грехе) and doesn’t walk in darkness, but walks in the light. (Ой. римляне 6, 2 Питер 2, 1 Джон 3, 5, Читайте также: Любовь и благодать Божья не идут на компромисс с грехом).
Because only when someone walks in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses the person from all sin.
Through faith in Jesus Christ and His redemptive work and repentance, the person is cleansed of all his sins and iniquities by the blood of Jesus. And through regeneration in Christ (the death of the flesh and resurrection of the spirit from the death), человек стал новым творением, who is spiritual and has received a new heart and a new nature (Ой. Иезекииль 36:25-27, Джоэл 2:28-29, Действия 2:17-18 евреи 8:8-13 (Читайте также: Восьмой день, день нового творения)).
Как мы будем, которые мертвы для греха, жить там дольше?
римляне 6:2
If the flesh has died in Christ and the person is dead to sin, how can someone keep doing the works of the flesh and live in sin? Someone can only continue to do the works of the flesh, when the flesh is still alive.
Поэтому, if someone keeps doing the works of the flesh and refuses to repent and lay down the evil works by the Spirit, then the blood of Jesus is of no value to the person, но вместо, the blood of Jesus accuses the person.
If we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin
The devil tries to keep the people in his power through ignorance and by making them believe in his half-truths, которые являются ложью. He makes people believe that you are saved when you persevere in sin and refuse to remove the sins from your life. Почему? Because as long as people live in sin, they do the will of the devil and yield to him and the devil has power over their lives.
Слово говорит, that as long as people want to do the works of the flesh and enjoy doing them and live in sin in darkness, they are not delivered, but they still live in the bondage of the devil, грех, и смерть (Ой. Джон 8:34, римляне 1:18-2:9; 6, 7, 8, 1 Джон 3 (Читайте также: Можете ли вы жить во грехе и спастись??)).
The blood of Jesus doesn’t make sinning approved. Jesus didn’t die for sinners so that sinners could continue doing their evil works and live after the flesh in the power of darkness in sin. Нет!
Jesus died for sinners. So that sinners would be delivered from their evil, упрямый, crooked, and sinful nature and be cleansed, обновленный, justified, и примирились с Богом (Читайте также: Иисус восстановил мир между падшим человеком и Богом).
Jesus gave His life and made a way for sinners, so that they would no longer be sinners and no longer live under the oppression and authority of the devil, sin and death in darkness, but they would be delivered from the power of darkness and be transferred from the darkness into the light and become righteous, and from their holy and righteous state, they would live holy and walk in righteousness as children of God in the light.
Because only if you walk in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses you from all sin.
