Когда ты родишься свыше во Христе, you have become a new creation and are clothed with Christ in the spiritual realm (Галатам 3:27). This transformation, which has taken place in the spiritual realm has to become visible in the natural realm. Это означает, that you shall put on Christ or in other words, that you shall put on the whole armor of God and walk in Christ; слово. The first piece of the armor of God is to girt the loins about with truth. What does it mean the loins girt about with truth in Ephesians 6:14?
А потому облекитесь во всеоружие Божие, дабы вы могли устоять в день злой, и сделав все, стоять. Поэтому стойте, препоясав чресла истиной (Ефесянам 6:13-14)
The Truth has set you free
И Слово стало плотью, и жил среди нас, (и мы увидели его славу, слава как единородного от Отца) полный благодати и истины (Джон 1:14)
Иисус говорит ему, Я есмь Путь, правда, и жизнь: ни один человек не приходит к Отцу, но мной (Джон 14:6)
The lies of the world have misled you all these years and have kept you ignorant about the truth. They have kept you in bondage, far away from the Truth; the Word and kept you separated from the Father.
But through Jesus Christ you have found the Truth. Через Иисуса Христа; правда, your eyes are opened and the lies of the devil are exposed.
Верой в Иисуса Христа, His blood and регенерация в нем, you are redeemed from the power of darkness and reconciled with God the Father. Now you shall walk just like Jesus Christ, as son of God, в истине Божией.
Walk in the Truth
If ye continue in My word, тогда вы действительно Мои ученики; И вы узнаете правду, and the truth shall make you free (Джон 8:31-32)
The world diametrically opposes the Word and condones all the things of the devil and his kingdom and makes what is evil in the eyes of God good and what is good in the eyes of God evil.
Те, who are ignorant and don’t know the Truth; слово, are tempted and deceived by what the world says and accept the works of darkness, which causes many to stay bound to the power of the kingdom of darkness and remain bound by sin and death and walk in darkness.
Therefore it’s important to обнови свой разум со Словом Божьим, so that you will get to know the truth of God and will not be tempted and deceived by the lies of the devil, but by learning the truth of God, be able to discern the lies of the devil from the truth of God and expose the lies, confute the lies, and destroy the lies of the devil.
When you follow the Truth and apply the truth of God in your life, you shall be redeemed from the power of the kingdom of darkness that has bound you by her lies.
You shall no longer believe and obey the lies and approve and do the works of darkness and remain bound to sin and death and live in darkness. But by applying the words of God in your life, ты будешь жить в свободе Христа; слово. You shall live in the Truth and speak the truth.
Don’t lie against each other
Because if you have been transferred from the darkness into the light, твоя природа изменилась. Ты больше не сын дьявола (как мужчина, так и женщина), who belong to – and represent the kingdom of darkness; мир, но ты стал сыном Божьим (как мужчина, так и женщина), who belong to – and represent the Kingdom of God. Therefore you shall no longer lie, но ты должен говорить правду.
Вы от отца вашего дьявола, и похоти отца твоего исполните. Он был убийцей с самого начала, и не устоял в истине, потому что в нем нет правды. Когда он говорит ложь, он говорит о своем: потому что он лжец, и отец этого (Джон 8:44)
The devil is a liar. Он не говорит правду, but he lies. His children, who have his nature are just like their father liars and don’t speak the truth, but lie.
Therefore it is written in the law of sin and death “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” in other words “You shall not lie against your neighbor.” Because the flesh, в котором царит грех и смерть, wants to lie and deceive (Исход 20).
But if the flesh has died in Christ through regeneration and because of that the law of sin and death has lost its power over man and by the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, the law of the Spirit has become in effect in the life of the new man, затем, the new man shall no longer lie but shall speak the truth.
Because the law of the Spirit says, “Thou shalt speak the truth to your neighbor”
The new man doesn’t lie, but speaks the truth
И что вы надели нового человека, который по Богу создан в праведности и истинной святости.Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another (Ефесянам 4:24-25)
Когда ты надеть нового человека, who is made in the image of God in holiness and righteousness, you shall remove the lies from your life and you shall speak the truth, just like your Father of Whom you are born (Ой. 1 Джон 2:29; 3:9; 5:18).
If you keep lying and don’t mind little white lies, then you should earnestly ask yourself in whose service you are and whom you serve.
Are you still the old man and are your members in the service of the devil and do you serve unrighteousness and lie? Or are you the new man and are your members in the service of God and do you serve righteousness and speak the truth?
Does a little white lie never hurt anyone?
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit (Пословицы 12:17)
A little white lie is a lie of the devil that he has used to deceive many people, включая верующих, by making them believe that a little white lie never hurt anyone and that a little white lie is not so bad. Но правда в том,, that there are no such thing as big lies and little lies and black lies and white lies. Ложь есть ложь! There is no single lie that will benefit a person, but will do the exact opposite.
You may tell a little white lie in the natural realm for your own benefit or to keep others happy and satisfied, но в духовной сфере, every lie defiles your spiritual status.
It doesn’t matter if they are big lies or little white lies, every lie defiles a person’s spiritual state.
And if you don’t покаяться, even those little white lies shall lead you to hell. Because it is written that liars shall not inherit eternal life (Пословицы 19:5,9, Откровение 21:8).
You can’t be in Christ and keep doing the works of darkness, including lying.
The grace of God is not a license to sin. Therefore the grace of God is not a license to speak lies (римляне 6:1-16, Джуд 1:4 (Читайте также: ‘Можете ли вы продолжать грешить под благодатью?').
Some people use their culture as an excuse to keep lying, but in Jesus Christ every culture disappears! (Читайте также: 'Every culture disappears in Christ’).
The gospel is a gospel of God and not a gospel of people. Люди могут сказать, думать, find, and feel whatever they want and come up with- and use all kinds of excuses to keep sinning. But the Word is clear and eventually, the Word shall judge every person and not the words of people (Читайте также: God’s Word shall have the final word on the Day of Judgment).
God is de Creator of the spiritual and natural laws
Ибо слово Господне истинно; и все дела Его совершаются по истине. Он любит праведность и суд: земля наполнена благостью Господней. Словом Господним сотворены небеса; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth (Псалмы 33:4-6)
Because God is the Creator of the heaven and the earth and all there is within. God is the Creator of spiritual powers and authorities and of the spiritual and natural laws. Everything is created after His will. Therefore His will reigns in heaven and on earth (Читайте также: Божье Слово решено навсегда').
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations (Псалмы 100:5)
Каждый, кто создан Богом, should yield to God and His will, which He has made known through His Word. Because God is good and therefore His will is good.
Те, who are not willing to obey Him and refuse to yield to Him are rebellious and we all know what happened with those, who were rebellious and refused to submit to God’s authority and His will.
The devil and his angels were prideful and rebellious and tried to take God’s place. But instead of taking God’s place, they were cast on the earth with a terrible view awaiting for them, namely the eternal lake of fire, which is created for the devil and his angels, who are fallen from their original position (Мэтью 25:41).
в дни Ноя sin was so great on earth, that only 8 persons were saved from destruction; Noah and his family. The other people didn’t want to listen to the words of God and therefore they brought mischief на себя.
Just like the people, who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around, who lived in sin and did evil in the sight of God. Грех; зло, was so great, that it reached heaven and cried out to God. When God saw that the evil of man was according to the cry of sin, the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around were destroyed, except for Lot, his wife and daughters (Ой. Бытие 6-8, Бытие 18-19, 2 Питер 2:4-9, Джуд 1:6-7).
All these events took place before the law of sin and death was introduced. Sin already existed before the закон греха и смерти came into effect. Because the law of the Spirit, что является волей Божьей, was already effective before the creation and is still in effect and still applies.
Sin is revealed through the law
The law of sin and death has been added by God in the Old Covenant, to reveal a.o. sin to the carnal man by the moral part of the law.
Бог создал Его воля и Его пути known to His people, so that His carnal people knew the will of God and could no longer offer any excuse for not doing His will.
Закон Духа, which reigns in the spirit of the new man represents the will of God and is the truth. Новый человек, who is born of God and has the nature of God, shall walk after the will of God and shall walk in the Truth.
A faithful witness of the Truth
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies (Пословицы 14:5)
As son of God and representative of the Kingdom of Heaven, you shall walk in the light. You shall no longer believe, represent and speak the lies of the world. Вместо, you shall believe in God and His Word and represent and speak the truth of God, несмотря на последствия.
You shall be a faithful witness of the Truth; Иисус Христос; the living Word and speak His words; Его правда.
Поэтому, you ought to know the Truth; слово. Because if you don’t know the truth of God and His Word, then first of all you wil not know the Father and His will, secondly you shall not be able to speak His words, and thirdly you shall not be able to walk in the truth and be a witness of the Truth; Иисус Христос, живое Слово.
The loins girt about with truth
Однако, когда Он, Дух истины, пришло, Он наставит тебя на всякую истину: ибо Он не будет говорить о Себе; но что бы Он ни услышал, что Он будет говорить: и Он покажет тебе будущее (Джон 16:13)
Как сын Божий, who has the Spirit of truth, you shall know the Word and stand on the Word and walk in the Truth; the Word and speak the truth, even if it makes you a fool or less populaire among people and/or causes persecution or separation in your surrounding.
But that’s the price you pay for following Jesus Christ; the Word and to be a witness of Him and His Kingdom (Читайте также: 'Подсчитайте стоимость' и ‘Следование за Иисусом будет стоить вам всего')
Therefore have your loins girt about with truth, so that you will walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and live in the truth and represent and speak the truth of God, so that you will be a faithful witness of the Truth on earth and save many souls from destruction.
