Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God (Coloseni 2:18-19)
By faith and regeneration in Christ, you have become a son of God (acest lucru se aplică atât bărbaților, cât și femeilor) and have received an inheritance in Christ. You have been made righteous in Him and have received power and authority to walk as a son of God in the truth of God on earth (Oh. Ioan 1:17, Galateni 6:3:26-27, romani 8:14-19, Efeseni 5:1-6, Filipeni 2:15, 1 Ioan 3:1-10; 5:2).
Jesus Christ is the Mediator of the New Covenant and Head of the Church
Prin urmare,, Fraţii, îndrăzneala de a intra în cea mai sfântă prin sângele lui Isus, Printr-o cale nouă și vie, pe care El l-a consacrat pentru noi, prin văl, adică, Carnea Lui; And having an High Priest over the House of God; Să ne apropiem cu o inimă adevărată, în deplină siguranță a credinței, având inimile stropite de o conștiință rea, și corpurile noastre spălate cu apă pură (ebraică 10:19-22)
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time (1 Timotei 2:5-6)
Jesus Christ is the Way, Adevărul, și viața. Jesus has made the way through the cross and His blood so that those, who by faith in Jesus Christ are born again in Him may come boldly before the Father (Oh. Ioan 14:6, Efeseni 2:18; 3:12).
The new man doesn’t need the mediation of angels and/or doesn’t need angels to communicate with God
Jesus Christ is the Mediator of the New Covenant and the new man has received the Holy Spirit and is connected with God the Father and Jesus Christ; cuvantul. Nothing and no one, not even angels, stands in between.
Popor, who walk in the vanity of their minds and are puffed up
in orice caz, there are people, who don’t know the Word personally and are ignorant about the truth of God. There are even people, who stand in the pulpit, who don’t know the Word personally and are ignorant about the truth of God and therefore keep the people ignorant.
They may seem humble in the eyes of carnal man, because of their pious words and humanistic behaviour, but they are not humble in the eyes of God. Since they walk in the vanity of their minds and exalt themselves above God, by putting their words above the words of God and preaching human doctrines and carnal philosophies instead of believing and preaching the redemptive work and inheritance in Christ and walking in it (Citeste si: ‘Ce înseamnă să fii umil?‘).
Instead of repenting and walking after the Spirit in the truth of God, they remain carnal and live as enemies of the cross in subjection to the powers, rulers, and authorities of darkness and are inspired and led by them.
They don’t believe in the perfect redemptive work of Christ and don’t walk in the authority of Christ, but they walk in false humbleness and deny by their words and walk the greatness, putere, and the work of God, the blood and the cross and deny Jesus Christ.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God (Coloseni 2:18-19)
Paul warned the saints to let no one beguile them of their reward and they would lose their salvation by voluntary humility and worshipping of angels.
He commanded them to stay faithful and obedient to Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, and to walk in His commandments instead of walking after the traditions of man, the rudiments of this world, and according to what carnal people beheld in the supernatural.
Paul commanded them to walk after the Spirit and not return to the flesh.
Because there were many false teachers, who were carnal and walked from their state as the old man in false humility and worshipped angels and were puffed up by their carnal minds and exalted themselves above others because of what they beheld in the supernatural, but not walked after the will of God and not holding the Head of the Church, Iisus Hristos, and His commandments.
It’s only Jesus Christ from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered and knit together, increased with the increase of God. Therefore it’s only by faith in Jesus Christ and submission and obedience to Him and His commandments that the Church receives the increase of God.
But these false teachers placed the angels, who are servants of God, above Jesus Christ and denied the redemption of man and the reconciliation and unity between the new man and God and preached all kinds of false doctrines, whereby they deprived the saints of their salvation.
The lies and temptations of the devil
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (2 Corinteni 11:14-15)
The devil has not changed and his lies and tactics are still the same and unfortunately still work, because of the ignorance of believers and they deviate from the words of God, which are the truth.
Diavolul (and his angels) come as an angel of light with his lies, which are wrapped up in a little bit of truth.
He comes through dreams and visions and tries to tempt believers and convince them of his truth.
din pacate, many people fall for his lies and believe his lies above the Truth of God, all because of a lack of knowledge of God’s Word.
And so they walk according to the words of the devil in his will instead of walking according to the words of God in His will (Citeste si: ‘Voia lui Dumnezeu vs voia diavolului‘ și ‘Destroying the works of God instead of the works of the devil‘).
There are many false doctrines, which have derived from the flesh by inspiration of evil spirits through dreams, visions, etc. which have led many believers astray and still lead many believers astray.
False doctrines, which are wrapped up in a little bit of truth and are indiscernible from the truth of God to the old man. And because many people stay the old man, many false doctrines are allowed into the church (Citeste si: ‘False doctrines that are an insult to God’)
Let no man beguile you of your reward!
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timotei 6:12)
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: căci atunci când va fi judecat, El va primi cununa vieții, pe care Domnul le-a promis celor care Îl iubesc (James 1:12)
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: Iată, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life (Revelatie 2:10)
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Iată, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown (Revelatie 3:10-11)
But the Church is supposed to be spiritually awake and stay watchful and remain obedient to the Word and not deviate from the Word. Because only through submission and obedience to the Head Jesus Christ; cuvantul, you shall receive your reward. Prin urmare, let no one beguile you of your reward and deprive your salvation, but stay in Christ and in obedience to Him stand on the Word.
