整个受造物都是在耶稣基督里创造的; 这个单词. All things in heaven and on earth, the visible and invisible, are created by Him and for Him. There’s not one creation that is created without Him. Everything has its existence in Jesus Christ; 这个单词. That’s why the whole creation testifies about Him.
why did Jesus have to come to the earth?
因为从创造世界以来，他看不见的东西就被清楚地看到, 被所创造的事物所理解, 甚至他永恒的力量和神性; 让他们没有借口 (罗马书 1:20)
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (以弗所书 2:10)
整个受造物都是在耶稣基督里创造的, 这个单词. For that reason Jesus the Living Word had to come to earth. So that the 新创作 (新人) could be created in Him.
The new creation is created by and in Jesus Christ.
看不见的神的形像是谁, the firstborn of every creature: 因为万物都是借着他创造的, 那些在天堂的, 那些在地球上的, 可见与不可见, 无论它们是王座, 或领地, 或公国, 或权力: 万物都是他创造的, 并为他: 他在万有之前, 万物皆靠他而存在 (歌罗西书 1:15-18)
The sons of man
The sons of man are born of the seed of Adam; the seed of fallen man. They are his offspring. Because Adam sinned through his 不服从上帝, death entered. 因此, his spirit died and his flesh (灵魂和身体) remained alive.
Sin had affected the seed of humanity. Because of sin, death entered and reigned from that moment in the whole human race.
Adam had become unclean; 一个罪人. Therefore the offspring of Adam; the sons of man would be born as a sinner. Death would reign and still reigns in every person, 谁出生在这个地球上.
The coming of Jesus Christ
For we have not an high Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; 但在各方面都像我们一样受到诱惑, 却又无罪 (希伯来书 4:15)
Jesus came in the flesh on this earth. 然而, Jesus was not born of the seed of man but of the holy Seed of God. Because Jesus was born of the holy Seed of God, Jesus wasn’t affected by evil and death didn’t reign in Jesus. 在耶稣期间’ 地球上的生命, Jesus had the ability to disobey God 和罪恶, 就像亚当一样.
Jesus could exchange His holy status through sin for death. But Jesus walked in righteousness and holiness and stayed obedient to the will of God until His death.
When the time came to fulfill God’s redemptive plan for fallen man, they took Jesus captive, whipped Him, and crucified Him.
Jesus yielded and humbled Himself and at the cross, God laid all the sins and iniquities of humanity upon Him.
所以, Jesus took all sins and iniquities of the human race upon Himself and died on the cross.
His blood was shed for the whole corrupted human race, which was affected by sin and death.
Because Jesus took all sins and iniquities upon Himself, Jesus entered Hades and stayed there for three days. 三天后, Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.
The Redemption in Jesus Christ
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life(约翰 3:14-15)
Jesus did all this, 这样每个人都, who believes in Him and accepts Him as Saviour and makes Him Lord of their lives and obeys His words and walks in 他的诫命, would not see death, but receive eternal life.
Through His redemptive work, 耶稣使人与神和好. 耶稣是新创造的首生者; 神的儿子们 (这适用于男性和女性). The sons of God are born of God and walk in righteousness and holiness in the will of God.
The sons of God are created in Jesus Christ
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 哪些出生了, 不是血的, 也不出于肉体的意志, 也不以人的意志为转移, 但出于上帝 (约翰 1:12-13)
The sons of God are created in Jesus Christ through faith in Jesus Christ and because they are born of water (the baptism) and the Spirit (baptism of the Holy Spirit). God has given everyone who believes and receives His Son, the power to become a son of God.
The life reigns in Jesus Christ and death has been conquered. If the life reigns in Jesus Christ, and if the sons of God are seated in Him, then life also reigns in the sons of God instead of death. The new creation shall not see death.
The sons of God are holy and righteous
耶稣是圣洁且公义的. Therefore the offspring of Jesus (神的儿子们), who are born of the Seed of God, are holy and righteous. The Spirit and life shall reign again in every person, who is born again in Jesus Christ by water and Spirit. The sons of God walk after the Spirit in the will of God and keep His commandments.
They obey His words and walk in the commandments of God because they are written upon their new hearts, 借着圣灵的内住. They have the holy nature and character of God inside of them, instead of the corrupt evil nature and character of the devil.
The only thing that stands in the way, and prevents them from walking after the Spirit like Jesus, is their carnal mind that thinks like the world.
The spiritual new man has been made perfect (完成) 在基督里. The new man shall 赶走老人 和 穿上新人 from his perfect spiritual state in Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When you renew your mind with the Word of God, your thoughts and the way you think will line up with God’s Word.
Your mind determines your actions. Therefore if your mind lines up with the Word of God, your actions and works line up with the Word of God.
The more time you spend in the Bible and renew your mind with the words of God, the quicker your mind will line up with the Word. You shall spiritually mature and walk after the Spirit according to the Word.
并在你的心灵中得到更新; and that you put on the new man, 神是按着公义和真正的圣洁被造的 (以弗所书 4:23-24)
并穿上了新人, 其知识按照创造他者的形象而更新 (歌罗西书 3:10)
整个受造物都是在耶稣基督里创造的
The purpose of the sons of God is to do God’s will upon this earth and manifest His Kingdom, 耶稣基督为王的地方, so that the Father and the Son will be exalted.
In everything you do, 你可以问自己以下问题, “Do I exalt Jesus by doing this?”
We have become in Christ the new creation, which God had in mind, from the moment that Adam sinned and the seed of the human race became corrupted with evil and death.
Since the creation was created by the Word, Jesus had to come to this earth. So that through and in Jesus Christ (活生生的话语) the new man could be created.
The new man is the last creation that God created in Jesus Christ (这个单词). And so the whole creation is created in Jesus Christ.
‘成为地球之盐’
