Итак, как вы приняли Христа Иисуса Господа, так идите в Нем: Укоренен и созидан в Нем, и утвердился в вере, как вас учили, изобилующий там благодарением (Колоссянам 2:6-7)
Paul saw in the spirit, the order of the saints in Colosse and the steadfastness of their faith in Christ and instructed the saints, as they had received Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, to walk in Christ, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as they were taught, изобилующий Днем Благодарения.
The new creation walks in Christ, rooted and built up in Him and stablished in the faith
And just like the saints in Colosse, каждый, who believes in Jesus Christ and received Him as Savior and Lord, and learned Jesus Christ, should put off concerning the former manner of life the пожилой человек, who is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and надеть нового человека.
Если вы стали новым творением во Христе, you shall constantly обнови свой разум со Словом, so that your mind will line up with the Word and you shall know the will of God.
Because how can you walk by faith in the will of God if you don’t know His Word and His will?
By the renewing of your mind with the Word and by submitting yourself to the Word, obeying the Word, и doing the Word в вашей жизни, you shall be rooted and built up in Him and be stablished in the faith.
And while you walk steadfast in the faith in obedience to Jesus Christ and do what the Word tells you to do, you shall abound therein with thanksgiving.
The new creation walks in Christ, изобилующий Днем Благодарения
No matter what the circumstances may be, you shall always be thankful and abound with thanksgiving, because that’s the power of the sons of God (both males as females), которые ходят по Духу, а не по плоти.
Murmuring, whining, and complaining is part of the nature of Старик; старое творение (грешник), and doesn’t belong in the life of the new man; новое творение (saint).
After God delivered His people from slavery in Egypt and led His people to the promised land, we read several times, that during the time in the wilderness God’s people murmured, whined, and complained, despite God’s provisions and miracles.
The people had a different expectation of their God and because God did not meet their requirements, many of His people were disappointed, неудовлетворенный, and unthankful and began to murmur, whine and complain (Читайте также: ‘Ожидания людей').
They remembered their time in Egypt and wanted to return to Egypt.
They’d rather return to Egypt and live in slavery under the oppression of Pharaoh than stay with God and live in freedom in the wilderness.
But God hated all the murmuring and whining of His people. We read where all the murmuring and whining led to.
Because although they all belonged to God’s people, God was not well pleased with most of them, and they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Let this be an example for us, so that we shall not lust after evil things and not be dissatisfied and unthankful, but always be thankful (Ой. Числа 14:26-35; 17, 1 Коринфянам 10:1-13).
Even if life doesn’t go as planned and something happens that changes your future, always remain thankful to the Lord in every situation and don’t complain, whine and murmur (Читайте также: ‘Благодарность сынов Божьих').
Everyone can murmur, whine and complain, there’s nothing special about that. Но те, которые стали новым творением; a son of God and are rooted in Christ and established in the faith distinguish themselves by always giving thanks and honor to God the Father and Jesus Christ with their mouth, руководить, and attitude in every situation, so that they will exalt God with their lives.
