Lecture 2: How Christians Deal with Sin
Let’s open the Bible to Galatians 5:25 and read it together: If we live by the Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit.Turn again to Romans 8:13. If you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Answer: Detailed explanation below
1 Not imputing their (old man’s) trespasses to them (the new man), but having entrusted to us the message of reconciliation--Refer to 2 Corinthians 5:192 If we live by the Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit - Reference Gal 5:25
3 Put to death the deeds of the body by the Holy Spirit--Refer to Romans 8:13
4 Mortify your members that are on earth - refer to Colossians 3:5
5 We (the old man) were crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live--Refer to Gal 2:20
6 Consider yourselves (old man) dead to sin - See Romans 6:11
7 Whoever hates his (old man’s sinful) life in this world must preserve his (new man) life for everlasting life. Reference about 12:25
8 Code of Conduct for New Believers--Refer to Ephesians 4:25-32
[Old Testament] Therefore, in the Old Testament, there were laws and regulations, but no one was justified before God by the law. This is obvious. Therefore, Paul said that if you rely on these regulations to control the flesh, Lust has no effect whatsoever--Refer to Colossians 2:20-23
Question: Why is it ineffective?Answer: For everyone who works by the law is under a curse... No one is justified before God by the law. This is obvious - refer to Galatians 3:10-11;
[New Testament] In the New Testament, you are also dead to the law through the body of Christ...and are now free from the law - refer to Romans 7:4,6! Since you have been freed from the law, you are now born again Christians have the presence of the Holy Spirit! If we live by the Holy Spirit, we should also walk by the Holy Spirit - see Galatians 5:25. That is to say, we should rely on the Holy Spirit to put to death all the evil deeds of the fleshly desires, hate the sinful life of the (old man), and preserve the (new man) to eternal life! (New man) By the Holy Spirit produce: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control! The fruits of the Holy Spirit! Amen. Galatians 5:22-23. So, do you understand?
9. Put the treasure in the earthen vessel
We have this treasure in earthen vessels to show that this great power comes from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7
Question: What is baby?Answer: The "treasure" is the Holy Spirit of truth - refer to John 15:26-27
Question: What is an earthen vessel?Answer: "Earthen vessel" means that God wants to use you as a precious vessel - refer to 2 Timothy 2:20-21! The treasure placed in the earthen vessel is the Holy Spirit placed on our regenerated new man.
Question: Why? Sometimes we fail to demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit?Such as: healing diseases, casting out demons, performing miracles, speaking in tongues...etc.!
Answer: This great power comes from God, not from us.
For example: When Christians first believed in Jesus, they would personally experience many visions and dreams, and many wonderful things would happen around them. But now it gradually appears less often or even disappears? The reason is that after we believed in Jesus, our hearts followed the flesh, cared about the things of the flesh, and followed the world. It was full of thorns, and we were unable to show the power of the Holy Spirit.
10. Death activates in us to reveal the life of Jesus
We always carry the death of Jesus with us so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in us. ...In this way, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Corinthians 4:10,12
Question: What is initiating death?Answer: The death of Jesus is activated in us! How did Jesus die? Jesus saved us from sin and died on the cross for our sins. If we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall also be united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection - See Romans 6:5. Being united to Him in the likeness of death means that death is active in us and we always carry the spirit of Jesus with us. Die! Take up your cross and be the way of the Lord. If you lose your old life for the gospel, you will gain the life of Jesus - refer to Mark 8:34-35. If you have the life of Jesus, you can reveal the life of Jesus! The life of the Holy Spirit Power is witnessing the life of Jesus! Amen.
"Before that day", everyone must die once, and everyone in the world will experience physical "birth, old age, sickness and death" and even die due to other things; but Christians should pray more to the Lord Jesus and not let their physical body "birth, old age". .Sickness.Death", let alone being tortured by the "disease" and dying of physical pain, dying in the hospital, or dying on the hospital bed; We should pray to the Lord Jesus to cause His death to be activated in our old man. We should be willing to take up our cross, follow Jesus, lose our old life for the truth and the gospel, and experience death with Christ! Perhaps when you are old, the best wish is to die physically in your sleep or to die naturally and peacefully in your sleep.
11. The old man gradually becomes bad, and the new man gradually grows up
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Although the outer body is being destroyed, yet the inner body is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16Note:
(Old man) The "outer body" is the visible body from the outside. Although it is destroyed, this old man's flesh gradually becomes bad due to the deceitfulness of lusts - refer to Ephesians 4:22
(New Man) What is raised with Christ is the spiritual body - refer to 1 Corinthians 15:44; your life is hid with Christ in God - refer to Colossians 3:3; according to what is in me (original text: "man" ") - Reference Romans 7:22.
→→The invisible (new man) born of God, joined to Christ, gradually grows into a man, fulfilling the stature of the full stature of Christ - refer to Ephesians 4:12-13
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Although the outer body (the old man's flesh) is destroyed, the inner body (the reborn new man) is being renewed day by day and "grows into a man." Our temporary and light sufferings (putting off the sufferings of the old man) will accomplish for us (the new man) an incomparable and eternal weight of glory. It turns out that we do not care about what we see (the old man), but we care about what we do not see (the new man); because what we see (the old man) is temporary, but what we do not see (the new man) is eternal. Refer to 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Do you understand this?
12. Christ appears, and the new man appears and enters eternal life
When Christ, who is our life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:4
1 Dear brothers, we are children of God now, and what we will be in the future has not yet been revealed; but we know that when the Lord appears, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. 1 John 3:22 But as for those who have fallen asleep in Christ, God will also bring them with Jesus - for - refer to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
3 For those who are alive and remain, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, the corruptible flesh is "transformed" into the incorruptible spiritual body - refer to 1 Corinthians 15:52
4 His lowly body was transfigured to become like his own glorious body--Refer to Philippians 3:21
5 He will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air - refer to 1 Thessalonians 4:17
6 When Christ appears, we also will appear with Him in glory--Refer to Colossians 3:4
7 May the God of peace sanctify you completely! And may your spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ! He who calls you is faithful and will do it. Reference 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
