رسالۀ پولُس رسول به رومیان

فصل سوم

۱پس یهودیان چه برتری بر غیر یهودیان دارند؟ یا سنت چه ارزشی دارد؟ ۲البته از هر لحاظ ارزش فراوان دارد، اول آنکه خدا پیام خود را به یهودیان سپرد. ۳اما اگر بعضی از آن ها امین نبودند، آیا بی وفائی آن ها وفاداری خدا را باطل می سازد؟ ۴هرگز نه! حتی اگر همۀ انسان ها دروغگو باشند، خدا راستگو است! چنانکه نوشته شده است:

«کلامی که گفته ای راست بوده و داوری تو عادلانه است.»

۵اما اگر شرارت ما عدالت خدا را بیشتر آشکار می سازد چه بگوئیم؟ آیا می توانیم بگوئیم که هرگاه خدا ما را مجازات می کند، بی انصافی می کند؟ (مثل آدمیان سخن می گویم) ۶هرگز نه! اگر خدا عادل نباشد چطور می تواند دنیا را داوری کند؟

۷اما اگر دروغ من در مقابل راستی خدا جلال او را بیشتر آشکار می کند، چرا باز هم به عنوان یک گناهکار ملامت می شوم؟ ۸پس چرا نگوئیم: «بیائید بدی کنیم تا از آن خوبی به بار آید؟» در واقع عده ای تهمت زنان گزارش داده اند که ما چنین چیزی گفته ایم، محکومیت این اشخاص بجاست.

هیچ کس در حضور خدا عادل نیست

۹پس چه؟ آیا ما یهودیان از غیر یهودیان وضع بهتری داریم؟ ابداً، پیش از این نشان دادیم که یهودیان و غیر یهودیان، همه در گناه گرفتار هستند. ۱۰چنانکه نوشته شده است:

«حتی یک نفر نیست که عادل باشد. ۱۱کسی نیست که بفهمد یا جویای خدا باشد. ۱۲همۀ آدمیان از خدا روگردانیده اند، همگی از راه راست دور شده اند؛ حتی یک نفر نیکوکار نیست.

۱۳گلوی شان مثل قبر روباز است، زبان شان را برای فریب دادن به کار می برند و از لب های شان سخنانی مهلک مانند زهرِ مار جاری است.

۱۴دهان شان پُر از دشنام های زننده و بدی است، ۱۵و پاهای شان برای خونریزی تندرو است. ۱۶به هر جا که می روند، ویرانی و بدبختی بجا می گذارند، ۱۷و راه صلح و سلامتی را نشناخته اند. ۱۸خدا ترسی بنظر ایشان نمی رسد.»

۱۹ما می دانیم که روی سخن در شریعت با پیروان شریعت است تا هر دهانی بسته شود و تمام دنیا خود را نسبت به خدا ملزم و مسئول بدانند. ۲۰زیرا هیچ انسانی در نظر خدا با انجام احکام شریعت عادل شمرده نمی شود. کار شریعت اینست که انسان گناه را بشناسد.

عدالت از راه ایمان

۲۱اما اکنون عدالت خدا که تورات و پیامبران بر آن شهادت داده اند به ظهور رسیده است. خدا بدون در نظر گرفتن شریعت ۲۲و فقط از راه ایمان به عیسی مسیح همۀ ایمانداران را عادل می شمارد، زیرا هیچ تفاوتی نیست، ۲۳همه گناه کرده اند و از جلال خدا کم آمده اند. ۲۴اما با فیض خدا همه به وساطت عیسی مسیح که خونبهای آزادی آن ها است، بطور رایگان، عادل شمرده می شوند. ۲۵زیرا خدا مسیح را به عنوان وسیله ای برای آمرزش گناهان ـ که با ایمان به خون او به دست می آید ـ در مقابل چشم همه قرار داده و با این کار خدا عدالت خود را ثابت نمود، زیرا در گذشته به سبب بردباری خود گناهان آدمیان را نادیده گرفت ۲۶تا در این زمان، عدالت خدا کاملاً به ثبوت برسد، یعنی ثابت شود که خدا عادل است و کسی را که به عیسی ایمان می آورد عادل می شمارد.

۲۷پس فخر کردن چه معنی دارد؟ جائی برای آن نیست. به چه دلیل؟ آیا به دلیل انجام دادن شریعت؟ نخیر، بلکه چون ایمان می آوریم. ۲۸زیرا ما یقین داریم که به وسیلۀ ایمان، بدون اجرای شریعت، عادل شمرده می شویم. ۲۹آیا خدا فقط خدای یهودیان است؟ مگر خدای غیر یهودیان هم نیست؟ البته هست. ۳۰خدا یکی است و یهودیان را بر اساس ایمان و غیر یهودیان را نیز از راه ایمان عادل می سازد. ۳۱آیا این به آن معنی است که با ایمان، شریعت را از میان بر می داریم؟ نخیر، هرگز! بلکه آن را استوار می سازیم.

People Must Realise True Salvation

People Must Realise True Salvation (Peace and Joy in Christ)
What does saviour mean? And why do we need a saviour? The Bible reminds us that we are all guilty of sin and evil deeds. Because of committing sin, we all deserve God's wrath and judgement. The only just punishment for the sin we have committed against the Holy God is eternal punishment. This is why we all need a saviour. who is jesus Many people believe that Jesus Christ was a good person, a great teacher, and a prophet. Certainly, these beliefs are correct in relation to Christ, but alone they cannot tell his true character. The Bible says that Jesus is the embodiment of God; That is, God took a human body and became a human. He alone is the saviour of mankind.

Sacrifice and Eid al-Adha

Sacrifice and Eid al-Adha (With You)
The priest in the Old Testament could redeem himself and his people only by offering a sacrifice for his own sins and the sins of the rest of the people. It was for this reason that God commanded the Jews to sprinkle the blood of the sacrificed animal on everything inside the sacred Tent. In the same way, in the new covenant, people will be cleansed only by the shedding of the blood of a perfect and spotless sacrifice. This is why Jesus Christ shed his holy blood-to cleanse us from our sins. Christ's redemption was once and for all. There is no need to repeat this sacrifice. Jesus Christ has completely paid for all our sins through his death.

I Am Afghan, How Can I Be Saved?

I Am Afghan, How Can I Be Saved? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
God loves the whole world. Not only the Jews but (contrary to their idea); He loves everyone from all walks of life, rich and poor, black and white. He loves mankind so much that he gave his only son to save us. Man can receive this salvation, that is, eternal life, only through faith. If anyone believes in Jesus, he will not perish but have eternal life. If a person does not believe, he will perish. Perdition means separation from God and eternal torment in hell, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. There are only two ends for humans: one is eternal life and the other is destruction. Christ came to show us the right way, the way that leads to eternal life. Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Not believing in Christ means choosing destruction.

Dear listener - congratulations. You made an important and vital decision. Now, maybe your question is, how do I start my journey of faith with God? We have all sinned. All of us have committed actions that have displeased God. Because of sin in our lives, we deserve to be separated from God forever. Jesus Christ sacrificed his life on the cross to pay the price we deserve. Christ's resurrection from the dead proved that His death was sufficient to pay for our sins. This, in fact, is a summary of the message of salvation! If you believe in Jesus Christ as the only saviour, you are saved!

The Place of the Law in Our Lives

The Place of the Law in Our Lives (With You)
Let us remember that, just as the parents or elders of the family teach the children of the family the difference between good and bad, the law also informs us about the moral nature of our actions. Although even without law, we are more or less able to recognize the difference between good and bad, and to know God in a limited way, most of our knowledge about good and evil comes through the teachings of the law. For example, the last commandment of the Ten Commandments of Moses says: “Do not covet.” If this commandment had not been given to us, we would never have known that coveting is a sin. But fulfilling the law does not save a person.

Will the Law Save Us?

Will the Law Save Us? (With You)
The Jews believed that obeying the law would save them and make them righteous. But the apostle Paul declares here that “in God’s sight, no person will be justified by obeying the rules of the law”. The reason for this claim is clear: no one can completely obey the law. Only those who observe the whole law in very detail will be considered righteous. But completely obeying God’s law is impossible. The law was given so that everyone, whether Jew or non-Jew, would know that no one could keep it. In this way it would be proven to everyone that all Jews and non-Jews are sinners in the sight of God. The law informs us of our sin and guilt. The law reminds us how high the standards of God are and how far we have fallen short of those standards.

God's Grace

God's Grace (With You)
Grace is the gift of God's salvation to us which we receive freely through Jesus Christ. By faith we accept this gift. Believing does not mean that we do something. Rather, it means that we accept God's gift of salvation by faith. Faith itself is a gift from God. Faith comes into being by hearing the Word of God. We cannot gain faith by our own efforts.

God's Law

God's Law (With You)
The law was a complete foundation of laws and rules that God gave the Prophet Moses to communicate to the people of Israel. The law included specific and binding details that the people of Israel were expected to keep as their part in the covenant of Mount Sinai. It is important to understand why God gave the law to the people of Israel, as well as the relationship between the law and the Abrahamic covenant. We have said that the covenant that God had established with Abraham was unconditional. This covenant was fully based on God's grace. There was nothing Abraham had to do to be chosen by God and to be a part of the covenant with him.

Do you know what the word "Injil" means? The word "Injil" means good news. So, the question in this programme is when we speak about the "Injil" or the Good News, what are we talking about? The Holy Gospel is the Good News that the God, who is the creator and sustainer of the universe, is a just and merciful God. He looked upon sinful and hopeless humans with mercy and sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, to take upon Himself on the cross the wrath of God against sin and to display the power of God over sin by his resurrection from the death, so that whoever has faith in Him would find reconciliation with God.
