نامۀ پولُس رسول به رومیان

فصل پنجم

آشتی نمودن با خدا از طریق ایمان به مسیح

۱ چون از راهِ ایمان عادل شمرده شده ایم، به واسطۀ سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح، از صلح با خدا برخوردار می گردیم. ۲ ما به وسیلۀ ایمان به مسیح وارد فیض خدا شده ایم، فیضی که در آن پایداریم و به امید سهیم شدن در جلال خدا خوشی می کنیم. ۳ نه تنها این بلکه در سختی ها هم فخر می کنیم، زیرا می دانیم که رنج و سختی، بردباری را به وجود می آورد، ۴ و بردباری، شخصیت خوب را به وجود می آورد، و شخصیت خوب امید را می آفریند. ۵ این امید هیچگاه ما را مأیوس نمی سازد، زیرا محبت خدا به وسیلۀ روح مقدس که به ما عطا شده، قلبهای ما را فرا گرفته است.

۶ هنگامی که ما هنوز ناتوان بودیم، درست در همان زمان عیسای مسیح برای گناهکاران جان خود را فدا کرد. ۷ آسان نیست کسی را یافت که حاضر باشد برای یک شخص نیک از جان خود بگذرد، اگر چه ممکن است گاهی کسی به خاطر یک شخص نیک جرأت قبول مرگ را داشته باشد. ۸ اما خدا ثابت کرد که چقدر ما را دوست دارد، زیرا در آن هنگام که ما هنوز گناهکار بودیم، مسیح به خاطر ما جان خود را فدا کرد. ۹ ما که با خون او عادل شمرده شدیم، چقدر بیشتر به وسیلۀ خود او از غضب خدا نجات خواهیم یافت. ۱۰ چون هنگامی که با خدا دشمن بودیم، به واسطۀ مرگ پسرش با او آشتی داده شدیم. پس حالا که دوست او هستیم چقدر بیشتر به واسطۀ زندگی مسیح نجات خواهیم یافت! ۱۱ نه فقط این بلکه در خدا خوشی می کنیم که به وسیلۀ سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح با ما آشتی نمود.

مرگ به وسیلۀ آدم، زندگی ابدی به وسیلۀ مسیح

۱۲ گناه به وسیلۀ یک انسان به جهان وارد شد و این گناه، مرگ را آورد. در نتیجه، چون همه گناه کرده اند، مرگ همه را در بر گرفت. ۱۳ پیش از شریعت موسی، گناه در جهان وجود داشت. اما اگر قانون وجود نداشته باشد، کسی گناهکار شمرده نمی شود. ۱۴ با آن هم، مرگ از زمان آدم تا موسی بر همه حاکم بود، حتی بر آنهایی که گناه شان مانند گناه آدم نبود. آدم نمونۀ آن کسی است که قرار بود بیاید. ۱۵ اما نافرمانی آدم و بخشش خدا قابل مقایسه نیست. اگر به خاطر نافرمانی آدم افراد زیادی مُردند، پس چقدر بیشتر فیض خدا از برکت آدم دیگر یعنی عیسای مسیح شامل حال افراد بسیاری گردید. ۱۶ همچنین نمی توان آن بخشش خدا را با نتایج گناه یک نفر یعنی آدم مقایسه کرد، زیرا در نتیجۀ آن گناه، انسان محکوم شناخته شد، حال آن که بخشش رایگان خدا پس از آن همه گناهان، موجب عادل شمرده گی انسان گردید. ۱۷ اگر به سبب نافرمانی یک نفر مرگ بر سرنوشت بشر حاکم شد، پس کار آن آدم دیگر یعنی عیسای مسیح چقدر بزرگتر است. همۀ کسانی که فیض فراوان خدا و بخشش رایگان عدالت او را دریافت کرده اند، حیات به وسیلۀ مسیح در سرنوشت آنها حاکم خواهد بود.

۱۸ پس همان گونه که یک گناه باعث محکومیت همۀ انسانها شد، یک عمل نیک نیز باعث زندگی و عادل شمرده شدن همۀ انسانها گردید. ۱۹ چنان که بسیاری در نتیجۀ سرپیچی یک نفر، گناهکار گشتند، به همان گونه بسیاری هم در نتیجۀ اطاعت یک نفر عادل شمرده خواهند شد.

۲۰ شریعت موسی برای آن به میان آمد که نافرمانی را افزایش دهد اما جایی که گناه بیشتر گردید، فیض خدا به مراتب افزایش یافت. ۲۱ پس همان طور که گناه به وسیلۀ مرگ فرمانروایی کرد، همین گونه فیض خدا نیز باید به وسیلۀ عدالت فرمانروایی نماید و ما را از طریق خداوند ما عیسای مسیح به زندگی ابدی هدایت کند.

What Are Your Expectations and Wishes for the New Year?

What Are Your Expectations and Wishes for the New Year? (Healing Cries)
Regular study of the Bible and the New Testament helps you to understand the character, teachings, and promises of Jesus, which is the basis of Christian hope. When our faith has been tested and triumphant through hardship and perseverance in the face of suffering, it is possible to have real hope for the future and the salvation and eternal reward and promises of Christ. Jesus Christ said: "But he who endures to the end, he will be saved." That is, the best are on the way. Every teaching of Jesus Christ contains indirect references to hope, when he told his disciples: Do not be anxious about the future, because their future is in the hands of a merciful God who loves them. I wish that along with the cold days of winter in the new year, the joy and enthusiasm of life in you will double by accepting and inviting Jesus Christ into your heart, and thus begin a new life with both your outer and inner nature. Prayer is talking to God, a way to express your worries, fears and desires. Prayer can strengthen the feeling of closeness and dependence on a higher power and brings peace. So, like Moses, may our hands always be raised to God so that He may give us victory and hope in this difficult time and despair.

Perseverance and Patience to Achieve Goals

Perseverance and Patience to Achieve Goals (Youth)
Perseverance teaches young people to deal with fluctuations and problems calmly and prevents them from getting involved in the “negative emotional chain” (despair, anger, helplessness). Enduring hardships makes a person’s hidden intelligence and talents more apparent, and achieving a goal strengthens a sense of self-worth and self-confidence. Great and lasting successes have always required time, patience, and perseverance. With patience, young people can avoid immediate and superficial results and achieve principled and lasting achievements. Tolerance increases the power of self-monitoring and gives a person time to make rational and strategic decisions instead of emotional and hasty reactions.

Strengthening Vitality and Hope in the Lives of Young People

Strengthening Vitality and Hope in the Lives of Young People (Youth)
Hope is good and necessary for everyone, but for the young, it is a dire necessity; Because a young person without motivation, vitality and hope is like a corpse without a soul. Life today is very vague and from the past. Therefore, there are many obstacles in the way of human success. Just having a goal cannot make a person successful. What is important is that there should be a force to achieve the goal. This force is hope and vitality. A person who has no hope of life will not face any problem. The more hope you have, the greater the possibility of success and growth in various social and personal fields. A person who has hope will not be disappointed by the negative and disappointing words of others. He relies on himself and his abilities and overcomes the problem.

Do We Have Thanksgiving in Our Homeland?

Do We Have Thanksgiving in Our Homeland? (Healing Cries)
Thanksgiving is a very important theme in the Bible. Be thankful to God in all circumstances. Thanksgiving and gratitude should be a way of life and should be a constant in our hearts and minds. Rejoice always! Pray constantly! Give thanks to God for everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. A little deeper look into the Bible will show us why and how we should be thankful. The Bible contains examples of gratitude in the midst of difficult situations and circumstances. It depicts David’s anguish and distress. He cries out to God for mercy, protection, and justice. After he cries out to God with a groaning cry, God answers his prayers. We should be thankful because God deserves gratitude. We should be grateful for every good gift that God gives us. Proverbs says: Be generous and you will become rich. He who fills others will himself be filled. How nice it would be to gather with our families one day and thank God with grateful hands and hearts.

The Heart of Heavenly Father

The Heart of Heavenly Father (Healing Cries)
The heart of the father is a source of forgiveness, one of the most prominent characteristics of fatherhood is forgiveness. If a person does not know about the heart of the father, he cannot forgive. Whenever someone knows the heart of the father, he is filled with his love and is able to forgive, and in it, he is free and liberated from the wounds. Forgive those who have wounded you in the presence of God, just as Mrs. Eneli, who killed her husband and two children, forgave her enemies after a while. In the Gospel of Luke, there is a story about a lost son who lost a sheep and a lost coin, which a woman cannot find without a lighted lamp and without light. We see the lost son who, surprisingly, no one is looking for him!! Because the father's forgiving heart beats for him, he brings him home. What are you, are you lost? Are you willing to forgive someone who has hurt you from the bottom of your heart?

Don't Let One Sin Dry Up the Tree of Your Life

Don't Let One Sin Dry Up the Tree of Your Life (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Adam and Eve committed only one sin and because of that they lost Paradise; Both themselves and the next generation will continue this sin until today and in the future. But the righteous act of Christ; It means bearing the cross in Golgotha for our sake; glorify him; A way for all who believe in Jesus to receive eternal salvation through him. Don't let your sin overwhelm you; And consider it unimportant!

Listen to the Reed Flute as It Laments (With You)
We all have heard the poem "Listen to the Reed Flute", written by Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī. When Mawlānā writes of separation in this poem, what kind of separation is he speaking about? When we read the Word of God, we see that we all have been separated from God.

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.
