The resurrection of Jesus from the dead was proof that God accepted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His precious blood and the redemptive work for fallen humanity was finished on earth. But what does the resurrection of Jesus mean for humanity? What does it mean to be baptized in His death and His resurrection? ¿Qué significa la vida de resurrección en Cristo??
Jesus was the Firstborn of the new creation and the Firstborn from the dead
Y cuando lo vi, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, diciéndome, No temáis; Yo soy el primero y el último: Yo soy el que vive, y estaba muerto; y, Mirad, Estoy vivo para siempre, Amén; y tienen las llaves del infierno y de la muerte (Revelación 1:17-18)
Jesús fue el Primogénito de la nueva creación, Who walked after the Spirit in obedience to the Father and preached and established His Kingdom on earth.
When His time arrived, Jesus gave His life for fallen humanity, los pecadores).
Because of the disobedience, offenses, and iniquities of fallen man, Jesus was scourged and crucified and carried the sins of the world, que el Padre le impuso, whereby Jesus entered hades legally (Leer también: ¿Cuál es el verdadero significado de la cruz?? (Oh. Isaías 53, Mateo 27, Marca 15, lucas 23, John 19).
Sin embargo, death was not strong enough to keep Jesus in his kingdom (el reino de la muerte).
Jesus conquered death and after three days Jesus rose as Victor and Firstborn from the dead with the keys of hell and death (Oh. Hechos 3:15; 13:28-31; 26:23, romanos 1:1-4, 6:9; 8:29, Efesios 1:20, colosenses 1:12-18, 2 Timoteo 2:8, Hebreos 11:19; 12:22-24; 13:20, 1 Pedro 1:21 (Leer también: ¿Qué hizo Jesús en el infierno??))
Jesus had become the Substitute for fallen man, so that in Him the new creation could be created.
The precious blood of Jesus, which was shed on the whipping post and the cross, made atonement for the sins of humanity and restored the (caído) state and the (caído) position of humanity and reconciled man back to God, so that man could have a relationship with God and live as sons of God (esto se aplica tanto a hombres como a mujeres) en la tierra.
en el bautismo, the old man dies in Christ and the new man is raised in Christ from the dead
Porque también Cristo padeció una sola vez por los pecados., el justo para los injustos, para que nos lleve a Dios, siendo ejecutado en la carne, pero acelerado (hecho vivo) por el espíritu: Por el cual también fue y predicó a los espíritus encarcelados.; que alguna vez fueron desobedientes, cuando una vez esperó la paciencia de Dios en los días de Noé, mientras el arca se preparaba, donde pocos, es decir ocho almas fueron salvadas por el agua. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him (1 Pedro 3:18-22)
Todos, who hears the gospel of Jesus Christ and believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and has come in the flesh and believes in His redemptive work; His death on the cross (for our sins) y su resurrección de entre los muertos (for our justification), and repent and be baptized, whereby the person identifies himself with the death and resurrection of Christ, y sed llenos del Espíritu Santo, serán salvos.
The baptism is the grave for the old man and means death to the flesh. The old man dies in Christ and the new man is raised in Christ from the dead (Leer también: What is the true meaning of baptism?).
But it doesn’t stop there. This is only the beginning of your new life and the race of faith that contains many hardships, Ensayos, tribulations, resistance of people, hindrances, and obstacles, and your faith, amar, paciencia, and longsuffering will be tested.
The new man is quickened by the Spirit and walks in newness of life in the resurrection life
Por lo tanto somos sepultados juntamente con Él por el bautismo para muerte.: que así como Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos por la gloria del Padre, Así también nosotros debemos caminar en novedad de vida. (romanos 6:4)
pero dios, quien es rico en misericordia, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Incluso cuando estábamos muertos en pecados, nos ha vivificado juntamente con Cristo, (por gracia sois salvos;) Y nos ha levantado juntos, y nos hizo sentarnos juntos en los lugares celestiales con Cristo Jesús (Efesios 2:46)
If you believe and are baptized in water and receive the Holy Spirit, te has convertido en una nueva creación; un hijo de dios (esto se aplica tanto a hombres como a mujeres) and you shall walk in newness in life in the resurrection life.
Every son of God is baptized in Christ and justified in Christ and clothed with Christ, whereby there is neither Jew nor Greek, circuncisión ni incircuncisión, Bárbaro, escita, vínculo ni libre, male nor female, but Christ is all and in all (Oh. romanos 4:25-25, Gálatas 3:25-28, colosenses 3:11)
Your spirit was under the dominion of death, but now has been quickened by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The devil and death no longer have dominion over you, porque tu carne, en el que reina el pecado y la muerte, has died in Christ.
Ya no eres un pecador, Un hijo del diablo. You are no longer a slave of sin and death and therefore you shall no longer serve sin and live under condemnation, since your flesh has been buried in Christ in baptism.
Because your flesh has died in Christ and no longer lives, the law of sin and death no longer has dominion over you and you shall no longer walk after the flesh in sin.
La ley del Espíritu de vida reina en el nuevo hombre
Through the resurrection of your spirit from the dead, the law of the Spirit of life reigns in you, Y por eso, you shall walk after the Spirit in righteousness (Oh. romanos 8:1-4).
You are justified and have become a saint in Christ. Therefore you shall no longer live as a sinner, as a slave of sin and a victim of the devil and death.
Your nature has changed. You have become a partaker of the Divine nature, whereby you shall no longer be controlled by the will, deseos, and desires of the (pecaminoso) flesh and do the works of the (pecaminoso) carne, but you shall be controlled by the will of the Holy Spirit, which is the will of Jesus Christ, cual es la voluntad del padre.
It’s no longer you that lives, pero Cristo vive en ti, whereby you shall no longer seek yourself and do your own will and serve the Lord for selfish reasons and your gain, but you shall seek the will of God, which is revealed by the Word and the Holy Spirit and preach and establish His Kingdom on earth.
If you walk in the resurrection life in Christ, you shall walk with God and do what the Word says and you shall keep the commandments of Jesus and walk in righteousness in the will of God.
In the power of the Holy Spirit, you shall put off the old man and put on the new man and resist sin and have dominion over sin instead of sin having dominion over you.
But as long as you go your own way and keep doing the works of the flesh and refuse to submit to God and obey the Word, you are not born again in Christ and have not become the new creation, who walks in the resurrection life in Christ, but you are still the old man, con su naturaleza pecaminosa, who his prideful and rebellious against God and goes his own way and makes his own rules and exalts himself above God and His Word.
The devil comes as an angel of light with his pious lies that always contradict the Word and eventually lead to death. Many Christians still believe his lies above the truth of God.
Despite the revelations and warnings of God, people still believe the words of the devil
Despite the revelations and warnings of God in His Word, people still believe the devil above God. No importa, how many times the Word warns people and reveals the true nature and works of the devil and his sons, people won’t listen to the truth of God but rather listen to the words of the devil and believe his lies. Por qué? Because they still belong to the devil and the world and love the (works of) darkness above the (works of) Luz.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My word hath no place in you.I speak that which I have seen with My Father: y hacéis lo que habéis visto con vuestro padre (John 8:37-38)
Jesús les dijo, If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. ¿Por qué no entendéis mi discurso?? incluso porque no podéis oír mi palabra. Vosotros sois de vuestro padre el diablo., y las concupiscencias de vuestro padre haréis. Fue un asesino desde el principio., y no permanecéis en la verdad, porque no hay verdad en el. Cuando habla mentira, él habla de los suyos: porque es un mentiroso, y el padre de ello.
Y porque te digo la verdad, no me creéis. ¿Quién de vosotros me convence del pecado?? Y si digo la verdad, ¿Por qué no me creéis?? He that is of God heareth God’s words: Por tanto, no los oís, porque no sois de Dios (John 8:42-27).
Jesus said to the Jews, that they didn’t love Jesus because God wasn’t their Father. They didn’t understand His speech, because they couldn’t hear His words, que vino del padre, Who had sent Him.
They were not of God and God wasn’t their Father, but they were of the devil and had the devil as their father and therefore they listened, believed, and obeyed his words (his lies) and wanted to do the lusts of their father. And this truth still applies today.
Muchas personas, que dicen ser cristianos, don’t believe the Word of God. They don’t listen and obey the words of God, but they listen, creer, and obey the words of the devil that contradict the words of God.
According to the words of Jesus, this proves that they are still the old creation, who have the devil as father and belong to him and have his nature and therefore they believe and obey his words and do his works and serve him (Leer también: Las doctrinas de los demonios están matando a la iglesia.).
What does the Bible say about someone, who doesn’t walk after the will of the Spirit in righteousness, but walks after the will of the flesh in sin?
They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesús les respondió, En verdad, en verdad, te digo, Todo aquel que comete pecado es siervo del pecado.. Y el siervo no permanece en la casa para siempre.: pero el Hijo permanece para siempre. Si, pues, el Hijo os hace libres, seréis verdaderamente libres (John 8:33-36)
Por lo tanto, hermanos de religion, somos deudores, no a la carne, para vivir conforme a la carne. Porque si vivís según la carne, si morirá: pero si por el Espíritu hacéis mortificad las obras de la carne, viviréis. Para todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, ellos son los hijos de dios (romanos 8:12-14)
What does the Bible say about someone, who doesn’t walk after the will of the Spirit and in righteousness, but walks after the will of the flesh in sin? Do the person’s works testify that the person belongs to God or the person belongs to the devil?
Jesús dice, que todo el mundo, who commits sin is a servant of sin and is not made free from sin. Because if the Son shall make someone free, that person shall be free indeed and shall no longer be bound through the flesh to sin and death.
Todos, who keeps sinning, walks after the flesh and is still a slave of sin.
A person can say whatever he or she wants and come up with all kinds of excuses for his or her sinful behavior and use Bible verses for their flesh, to approve their sins, but their sinful works and behavior prove, that the person is not born again and has not laid down his life in Christ, but the person is still the old man aka the old creation, who walks after the will and the lusts and desires of the sinful flesh.
Aquellos, who are raised in Christ and have walked in the resurrection life, shall inherit eternal life
Dando gracias al Padre, que nos hizo aptos para ser partícipes de la herencia de los santos a la luz: ¿Quién nos ha librado del poder de las tinieblas?, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, Incluso el perdón de los pecados.: ¿Quién es la imagen del Dios invisible?, the firstborn of every creature (colosenses 1:12-15)
Pero vosotros no estáis en la carne, sino en el Espíritu, si es que el Espíritu de Dios habita en vosotros. Y si alguno no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, Él no es ninguno de los suyos. Y si Cristo esté en vosotros, El cuerpo está muerto a causa del pecado; pero el Espíritu es vida a causa de la justicia. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (romanos 8:9-11)
Pero ahora Cristo ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y se conviertan en las primicias de los que durmieron. Porque desde que la muerte por medio del hombre, Por el hombre vino también la resurrección de los muertos. Porque, como en Adán, todos mueren, así también en Cristo todos serán vivificados (1 corintios 15:20-22)
Aquellos, who believe and have freely laid down their life on earth and have died in Christ and are risen in Christ have passed from death to life.
A través de la regeneración en Cristo, they have been delivered from the power of darkness; the power of the devil and death, and have been justified and reconciled with God. They have become alive to God and don’t belong to the death anymore but to the Life.
They have become sons of God in whom the Holy Spirit dwells and they shall walk after the will of the Spirit in obedience to God and His Word.
yo soy la resurrección, y la vida: he that believeth in Me, aunque estuviera muerto, sin embargo vivirá: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die (John 11:25-26)
And if they stay faithful to Jesus and keep His commandments and walk as sons of God in the resurrection life and finish the race and keep the faith, and fall asleep in Christ, they shall be raised in Christ.
And because they are written in the Lamb’s Book of life, they shall inherit eternal life and enter in through the gates of the new holy city Jerusalem on the new earth (Oh. Mattheuw 24:13, John 14:19-24, Revelación 21).
In contrast to those, who have remained the old creation and have believed the words of the devil above the words of God and walked after the flesh in his will, doing the will, deseos, and desires of the (pecaminoso) carne, and have borne the fruit of death, que es pecado (Leer también: ¿Cuál es la voluntad de Dios y cuál es la voluntad del diablo??).
When they die and are raised from the dead, they shall go to the same destination as their father, to whom they listened to their whole lives and whom they have believed and whose desires they have done and because they are not written in the Book of life, they shall be cast into the lake of fire and enter the second death.
'Sé la sal de la tierra’
