Postoje kršćani, who wonder if they are born again and have become a son of God (ovo se odnosi i na muškarce i na žene). They doubt their salvation and wonder if they have received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. How do you know if you are born again and have become a son of God? What are the characteristics of a son of God according to the Bible?
A change of kingdom
Zahvaljivanje Ocu, koji nas je učinio prikladnima da budemo dionici baštine svetaca u svjetlu: Koji nas je izbavio od vlasti tame, i preveo nas je u kraljevstvo svoga dragog Sina: U kome imamo otkupljenje Njegovom krvlju, čak i oprost grijeha (Kološanima 1:12-14)
Jer zakon Duha života u Kristu Isusu oslobodio me od zakona grijeha i smrti (Rimljani 8:2)
Kad se pokaješ, by faith in Jesus Christ and His work of salvation and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, you are born again and have become a son of God.
A change has taken place in the spiritual realm. When you died to the flesh and your spirit was raised from the dead, you were transferred from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God. This change of kingdom means a change of (duhovni) citizenship and a change of Law.
Through regeneration you have become a new creation; a new man and your nature has changed.
A son of God experiences a change of nature
Ali koliko god Ga primiše, dao im je moć da postanu sinovi Božji, even to them that believe on His Name: Koji su rođeni, ne od krvi, ni volje tijela, niti ljudske volje, ali od Boga (Ivan 1:13-14)
Gle, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not (1 Ivan 3:1)
The nature of the father of fallen man (vrag) has died with your flesh. Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the Father of the new man (Bog) came to life.
Once you have received the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit abides in you. Therefore you don’t have to call upon the Holy Spirit and invite Him over and over again. Because once the Holy Spirit comes in you, He will abide in you and be forever with you (Oh. Ivan 14:17).
Barem, as long as you decide to stay in Christ, live after God’s will and not depart from Christ. How do you depart from Christ? By walking after the will of the flesh, in which the devil reigns, and living like the world.
God replaces the heart of stone by a heart of flesh
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them: i oni će biti moj narod, i ja ću biti njihov Bog (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
U Starom savezu, God made His will known to the starac, by giving the Law to Moses. God gave the Law 50 dana nakon Pashe.
U Novom savezu, God made His will known to the new man by giving His Holy Spirit. Bog je dao svog Duha Svetoga 50 dana nakon Pashe. (Pročitajte također: Što se dogodilo 50 dana nakon Pashe?).
The evil heart of stone, in which the will of the devil was written and always exalts itself above God and resists the will of God and His commandments was replaced by a living heart of flesh, in which the will of God was written. (Pročitajte također: Što je zlo srce?).
Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Law of God, koji predstavlja Njegovu volju, is written in your new heart.
The Holy Spirit represents, baš kao Isus, the will of the Father and His righteousness and holiness. He reproves the world of sin, pravednost, and judgment.
A son of God will experience a change of behavior
Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. Bio je ubojica od početka, a ne ostani u istini, jer u njemu nema istine. Kad govori laž, on govori svoje: jer on je lažac, i otac toga. I zato što ti govorim istinu, ye believe Me not. Which of you convinceth Me of sin? A ako kažem istinu, zašto Mi ne vjerujete? Tko je od Boga, sluša riječi Božje: ye therefore hear them not, jer vi niste od Boga (Ivan 8:43-47)
Ja govorim ono što sam vidio kod Moga Oca: a vi činite ono što ste vidjeli kod svog oca (Ivan 8:38)
The change of kingdom and the change of nature will cause a change of behavior. You shall no longer walk as the old man in pride after the carnal wisdom, znanje, htjeti, and the unsatisfied lusts and desires of the flesh. You shall no longer live like the world in unrighteousness and sin.
Due to the change of heart and nature, you shall walk as the new man after the Spirit in righteousness. You shall live after the will of God and keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Because you’ve received His nature and His will abides in you and you love Jesus, you shall do what He commands you to do. (Pročitajte također: Zapovijedi Božje i zapovijedi Isusove).
A son of God does by nature the things contained in the law
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel (Rimljani 2:12-16)
Za ono što zakon nije mogao, u tome što je bilo slabo kroz meso, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, i za grijeh, osudio grijeh u tijelu: Da se pravda Zakona ispuni u nama, koji ne hodaju po tijelu, ali nakon Duha (Rimljani 8:3-4)
When you have become a son of God, you shall do the moral part of the law by nature. Since the law is the will of God. You shall be a law unto yourself and fulfill the law, baš kao Isus. (Pročitajte također: Može li čovjek ispuniti zakon?).
Koje su osobine Božjeg sina?
What are the most important characteristics of a son of God? The most important characteristics of a son of God are not charity works and humanitarian works. The characteristics of a son of God are not signs and wonders either. Because Jesus said, there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, who shall do great signs and wonders. They shall be so great that if it were possible, they’ll deceive the very elect (Oh. Matej 24:24, Ocjena 13:22).
The words of Jesus show that you don’t have to be born again to walk in the supernatural and do signs and wonders. Signs and wonders don’t proof that you are a son of God. (Pročitajte također: Morate li se ponovno roditi da biste hodali u nadnaravnom?).
A son of God shall love and fear the Lord and walk in righteousness
By the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (Izreke 16:6)
But the characteristics of a son of God are that a son of God loves God with all his heart, duša, um, and strength and fears the Lord. Therefore the son shall depart from evil (sin and iniquity) and shall no longer walk in unrighteousness. But the son shall walk in obedience to God in righteousness. (Pročitajte također: Ljubiš li Boga svim srcem?).
A son of God shall never compromise with sin and shall never tolerate and accept the works of the kingdom of darkness. But a son of God exposes the works of darkness and destroys and removes them.
When someone has become a son of God and the Holy Spirit abides in the person, the person shall do the volja Božja. Since the person is born of God and has the nature of God.
The righteous works, which originate from God’s nature, prove that the person is a son of God. Because it proves that the person has the same nature as his Father.
A son of God shall never approve the works of the devil. Let alone to walk in it.
Because they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (Galaćanima 5:24)
A son of God is led by the Spirit
Jer ako živite po tijelu, da će umrijeti: ali ako Duhom usmrćujete tjelesna djela, živjet ćete. Jer svi koji su vođeni Duhom Božjim, oni su sinovi Božji (Rimljani 8:13-14)
A son of God shall walk after the Spirit in the truth of God. Therefore a son of God shall walk in the will of God.
A son of God shall speak the truth of God. He shall expose and destroy the lies and works of the devil through the Word in the authority of Jesus (Ime Isusovo) i snagu Duha Svetoga.
A son of God bears the fruit of the Spirit
A son of God walks after the Spirit and shall bear the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is righteous, ljubav (love for God and out of that love, the love for your neighbor), radost, mir, dugotrajnost, gentleness, dobrota, vjera, krotkost, umjerenost. (Pročitajte također: Plod Duha)
rekao je Isus, that you shall recognize the tree by its fruit and that is still the case.
The sons of God do the will of their Father
For whosoever shall do the will of God, isto je i moj brat, i Moja sestra, and mother (Ocjena 3:35)
A son shall listen to his father and obey his father and shall do the will of his father. Because a son has the nature of his father.
Therefore the sons of God, who have the nature of God shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to His Word. They shall do the will of their Father. Just like the sons of the devil, who have the nature of the devil, shall listen to their father. They shall walk after the flesh in obedience to his words and do the will of their father.
