Иисус есть Живое Слово, Who was made flesh and walked on the earth (Джон 1:14). Иисус был Первенцем нового творения (новичок). Через Иисуса’ redemptive work on the cross, Jesus took once and for all care of the sin problem and dealt with the sins and iniquities of man and the evil sin nature of man. Каждый, who believes in Jesus Christ and is born again in Christ becomes a new creation in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. Сейчас, время пришло, to feed the spiritual new man. Так что, the new man will mature and live and walk as a son of God on earth. Because the purpose of every believer is to become like Jesus and walk as a son of God upon this earth. Иисус, the Firstborn of the new creation, has set the example for every believer, who would be born of the Spirit and become the new creation.
Кто является образом невидимого Бога, Первенец всякого существа: Ибо Им было сотворено все, которые на небесах, и которые находятся на земле, видимый и невидимый, будь то троны, или доминионы, или княжества, или полномочия: все вещи были созданы Им, и для Него: И Он прежде всего, и Им все стоит (Колоссянам 1:15-17
Да будет воля Твоя на земле, как и на небе
Jesus not only represented and preached the Kingdom of God upon this earth. But Jesus also brought the Kingdom of God to this earth. Поэтому, every believer, who has become a son of God through regeneration in Christ and represents Him should do the same.
Когда вы родился заново, you have become a member and a partaker of the (духовный) Body of Christ. You have become one with Jesus Christ and the Father through the Holy Spirit
Your purpose as a born again believer is to become like Jesus and represent the Kingdom of God on this earth.
You shall not only preach the Kingdom, but you shall also bring the Kingdom to the people.
If you are not born again and you don’t want to become like Jesus, there’s no point in calling yourself a Christian or visiting a church. Because it doesn’t mean a thing.
You can go to church and be a member of a church. You can be, a partaker of communion and keep Christian Holidays, but all those things don’t mean a thing to God. It has no value at all. The only thing that matters is, whether you have become новое творение в Иисусе Христе. That you live in Christ and do His will upon this earth.
Новое творение
For neither circumcision is anything, ни необрезание, but a new creation (Галатам 6:15)
If you don’t want to let go and отбросить старика and don’t want to надеть нового человека, your lifestyle shall by no means differ from the lifestyle of the world. There shall be no difference between you and the world. Therefore you shall live the same life, as those, who don’t know Jesus Christ.
You shall experience the same problems and go through them, the same way as the world, by murmuring and complaining. You shall seek help and find solutions in the secular world. You shall depend and rely upon human institutions, философия, мудрость, and science. Your trust and hope shall be in the world and the world system. Therefore you shall expect it from the world.
If you remain Старик and keep walking after the flesh and go to church, because you think that you will be saved by going to church, you will defile the Body of Christ through your lifestyle. By doing the works of darkness, you shall not only defile your own life, but you shall also defile the lives of other believers.
Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Коринфянам 5:6)
Цель каждого верующего – стать подобным Иисусу
But if you have truly раскаялся and have given your life to Jesus and put off the old sinful nature, there’s only one thing you want, and that’s to grow up and mature and become like Christ. Цель каждого верующего – стать подобным Иисусу.
If you want to walk like Jesus Christ, you shall do what Jesus did. You will believe in the words of God, accept them, и применить их в своей жизни. You’ll be a doer of the Word. You shall love your Father, spend time with Him, and shall walk according to Его воля.
But as long as you won’t listen to the words of God and Jesus. If you don’t apply them to your life then your mind and life shall remain the same.
Even if you know the Bible by heart, and you can quote every scripture in the Bible, it doesn’t mean a thing. You shall stay Старик, who has the character and nature of the devil. And because you have the character and nature of the devil, you shall also do the works of the devil and do what pleases him.
The purpose of every believer in Jesus Christ is to become like his/her Master. The more you feed your spiritual man with the Word and the things of the Kingdom of God, the faster the transformation will be.
When you apply His words in your life and do what the Word tells you to do then the spiritual new man will become visible in the natural realm. You will be transformed and become like Jesus Christ. This purpose is not for some believers, but for all believers.
You shall do the same works as Jesus did, and greater works than Jesus did, потому что Иисус пошел к Отцу. You shall never be above Jesus Christ, but you shall become like Jesus and you shall exalt Jesus and glorify God the Father through your life.
The disciple is not above his master, ни раб выше господина своего. Ученику достаточно быть таким же, как его учитель, и слуга как его господин (Мэтью 10:24-25)
«Будь солью земли»
