رسالۀ پولُس رسول به رومیان

فصل هشتم

زندگی پیروزمندانه بوسیلۀ روح خدا

۱پس دیگر برای کسانی که در پیوستگی با مسیح عیسی بسر می برند هیچ محکومیتی وجود ندارد، ۲زیرا قانون زندگی بخش روح القدس که در مسیح عیسی یافت می شود، مرا از قانون گناه و مرگ آزاد کرده است. ۳آنچه را که شریعت به علت ضعف طبیعت نفسانی نتوانست انجام دهد، خدا انجام داد. او پسر خود را به صورت انسان جسمانی و گناهکار و برای آمرزش گناهان بشر فرستاد و به این وسیله گناه را در ذات انسانی محکوم ساخت. ۴خدا چنین کرد تا احکام شریعت به وسیلۀ ما که گرفتار طبیعت نفسانی خود نیستیم، بلکه تابع روح خدا می باشیم، بجا آورده شود. ۵زیرا کسانی که مطابق خواهش های نفس زندگی می کنند، همیشه در فکر چیزهای نفسانی هستند. ولی کسانی که تابع روح خدا هستند، در فکر چیزهای روحانی می باشند. ۶عاقبت دلبستگی به امور نفسانی، مرگ و عاقبت پیروی از امور روحانی، زندگی و سلامتی است. ۷زیرا دلبستگی به امور نفسانی دشمنی با خداست. چنین شخصی از شریعت خدا اطاعت نمی کند و در واقع نمی تواند اطاعت نماید. ۸بنابراین انسان های نفسانی نمی توانند خدا را خشنود سازند.

۹اگر روح خدا در وجود شما ساکن است شما اشخاصی روحانی هستید، نه نفسانی. هرکه روح مسیح را ندارد، از آنِ او نیست. ۱۰اما اگر مسیح در وجود شما ساکن است، حتی اگر بدن شما به علت گناه محکوم به مرگ باشد، روح خدا به شما زندگی می بخشد، چون شما عادل شمرده شده اید. ۱۱اگر روح خدا که مسیح را پس از مرگ زنده گردانید، در وجود شما ساکن باشد، همان طور که او را پس از مرگ زنده گردانید، به وسیلۀ همان روح القدس که در شما ساکن است، به جسم فانی شما هم زندگی خواهد بخشید.

۱۲پس ای برادران، ما مدیون هستیم، اما نه به طبیعت نفسانی خود و نه به پیروی از خواهش های نفس، ۱۳زیرا اگر مطابق طبیعت نفسانی خود زندگی کنید، خواهید مُرد. اما اگر به یاری روح خدا اعمال جسمانی را نابود سازید، زندگی خواهید کرد. ۱۴کسانی که به وسیلۀ روح خدا هدایت می شوند، فرزندان خدا هستند. ۱۵زیرا آن روحی که خدا به شما داده است، شما را برده نمی سازد و موجب ترس نمی شود، بلکه آن روح شما را فرزندان خدا می گرداند و ما به کمک این روح در پیشگاه خدا فریاد می کنیم: «اَبا، ای پدر.» ۱۶روح خدا با روح ما با هم شهادت می دهند که ما فرزندان خدا هستیم ۱۷و اگر فرزندان او هستیم، در آن صورت، وارث ـ یعنی وارث خدا و هم وارث با مسیح ـ نیز هستیم و اگر ما در رنج مسیح شریک هستیم، در جلال او نیز شریک می شویم.

جلال آینده

۱۸به عقیدۀ من درد و رنج کنونی ما ابداً با جلالی که در آینده برای ما ظاهر می شود، قابل مقایسه نیست. ۱۹تمامی خلقت با اشتیاق فراوان در انتظار ظهور فرزندان خدا به سر می برد. ۲۰زیرا خلقت نه به ارادۀ خود بلکه به خواست خدا دچار بیهودگی شد، تا این امید باقی بماند ۲۱که روزی خود آفرینش از قید فساد آزاد گردد و در آزادی پُر شکوه فرزندان خدا حصه بگیرد. ۲۲زیرا می دانیم که تمامی آفرینش تا زمان حاضر از دردی مانند درد زایمان نالیده است. ۲۳نه تنها خلقت، بلکه ما نیز که روح خدا را به عنوان اولین نمونۀ عطایای خدا دریافت کرده ایم، در درون خود ناله می کنیم و در انتظار آن هستیم که خدا ما را فرزندان خود بگرداند و کُل بدن ما را آزاد سازد، ۲۴زیرا با چنین امیدی بود که ما نجات یافتیم؛ اما امیدی که برآورده شده باشد، دیگر امید نیست. چه کسی در انتظار چیزی است که قبلاً آن را یافته است؟ ۲۵اما اگر در امید چیزی هستیم که هنوز نیافته ایم با صبر منتظر آن می باشیم.

۲۶به همین طریق روح خدا در عین ضعف و ناتوانی، ما را یاری می کند؛ زیرا ما هنوز نمی دانیم چگونه دعا کنیم. اما خود روح خدا با ناله هائی که نمی توان بیان کرد، برای ما شفاعت می کند ۲۷و آنکه قلب های انسان را جستجو می کند، از نیت روح آگاه است؛ چون روح القدس مطابق خواست خدا برای ایمانداران شفاعت می کند.

۲۸ما می دانیم همه چیز برای خیریت آنانی که خدا را دوست دارند و به حسب ارادۀ او خواسته شده اند، با هم درکارند، ۲۹زیرا خدا آنانی را که از ابتدا می شناخت از پیش برگزید تا به شکل پسر او درآیند و تا پسر، نخستین برادر در میان برادران بسیار باشد. ۳۰او کسانی را که قبلاً برگزیده بود به سوی خود خوانده است، و خوانده شدگان را عادل شمرد و عادلان را نیز جاه و جلال بخشید.

محبت خدا در مسیح عیسی

۳۱پس در برابر این چیزها چه بگوئیم؟ اگر خدا پشتیبان ماست، کیست که بر ضد ما باشد؟ ۳۲آیا خدایی که پسر خود را دریغ نداشت، بلکه او را در راه همۀ ما تسلیم کرد، با بخشیدن او همه چیز را با سخاوتمندی به ما نمی بخشد؟ ۳۳چه کسی برگزیدگان خدا را ملامت خواهد کرد؟ خدا آنها را تبرئه می نماید! ۳۴پس کیست که بتواند آنها را محکوم سازد؟ مسیح عیسی کسی است که مُرد و حتی دوباره زنده شد و اکنون در دست راست خدا از ما شفاعت می کند! ۳۵پس چه کسی می تواند ما را از محبت مسیح جدا سازد؟ آیا مصیبت یا پریشانی یا زجر یا گرسنگی یا تهیدستی یا خطر و یا شمشیر قادر است ما را از مسیح جدا سازد؟ ۳۶چنانکه نوشته شده است:

«به خاطر تو در تمام روز در خطر مرگ هستیم و با ما مانند گوسفندانی که به کشتارگاه می روند رفتار می شود.»

۳۷با وجود همۀ این چیزها، به وسیلۀ او که ما را دوست داشت پیروزی ما کامل می شود. ۳۸زیرا یقین دارم که نه موت و نه زندگی، نه فرشتگان و نه نیروها و قدرت های فوق بشری، نه پیشامدهای امروز و نه وقایع فردا، نه قدرت های آسمانی ۳۹و نه بلندی و نه پستی و خلاصه هیچ چیز در تمام آفرینش نمی تواند ما را از محبتی که خدا در خداوند ما عیسی مسیح آشکار نموده جدا سازد.

A Life That Pleases God With the Help of the Spirit of God (With You)
We know that according to the Jewish law, we will receive retribution and punishment. The law condemns us to death because no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to exactly and perfectly fulfil all the requirements and expectations of the law. The law says: Love your God with all your soul and with all your strength. But who is able to fully obey this law? Nobody. But if we are in Christ, there is no punishment or condemnation for us! To be in Christ Jesus means to believe in him and to consider him as your Lord and Saviour. It means to surrender the control of your life completely to him.

Part 6 - What Is the Role of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives?

Part 6 - What Is the Role of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
The Holy Spirit is one with both the Father and the Son. In theological terms, he is equal to God and eternal and eternal like him. When we read the conversation in the upper room, we see that the Holy Spirit was sent through the Father and the Son. The Spirit came and acted on behalf of both of them. Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit is never given to us in the Holy Bible apart from the person and work of Christ or the eternal will of the Father. Any attempt to define the soul in a mystical or mystical sense, apart from the Holy Bible, will lead us astray and ultimately lead us to a dead end. When we are saved and belong to God, the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts forever, confirming and guaranteeing that we become His children forever.

Shut Up and Don't Complain! (Peace and Joy in Christ)
What concerns us is how we stand up to the trials of our lives. To be proud before the Lord Jesus Christ who is coming. Let's not forget that these life tests bring us closer to God. Do not forget that silence is the best tool to fight in difficult times of life. It is good for a person to hope and silently wait for salvation from God. Today, if you are in pain and moaning and want to hear God's voice, trust in Jesus Christ and refer to His word; He is waiting for you.

 Hope at the Time of Loss of Loved Ones

Hope at the Time of Loss of Loved Ones (Youth)
As we all know, death and life are from God. At the time of the death of friends, let's share our grief with them and be their best sympathisers. Let's try to spend a lot of time with them and be the best comforter for them. Every human being is born at a point in time and dies at a point in time. Accept death in any form and be ready for it. Also, those who lost their loved ones should spend more time with their friends and family members, so that the effects of the death of family members and relatives are less.

In the current situation, young girls and women in our society are facing the greatest pressures of their lives. They have been deprived of education. Their opportunities for fun and recreation are restricted. They can’t go out or express their opinions openly. These limitations go against all the accepted rules and norms of today's society. They don't even have the right to raise their voices and call out. This is in spite of the fact that women, like men, are God's creation. Women are the backbone of the family and society. Without mothers and sisters fulfilling their roles, family life is turned head over heels.

Sometimes as believers and followers of Christ, we lose our true identity, value, and position, and unconsciously let Satan control our thoughts and minds. This happens when we as Christians do not understand our true worth, and this leads us to error. Actually, we are children of God in our new identity in Jesus Christ. We are a new creation and we are co-heirs with Christ!

Why Does a Virus Like Corona Exist? Why Does God Allow It? (Common Questions About the Christian Faith)
In the midst of suffering, all kinds of questions come to our minds like, "Why does God allow suffering?", "Why does God allow the corona virus to kill so many people?", "Why is life so difficult?" The Word of God has answers. We see that God created everything beautiful and good, but we also see that sin enters the world and everything is under the curse of sin. God curses everything for two reason: for the sin that was committed, but also for the hope of defeating sin and destroying evil. Jesus came to the world, defeated sin, and He will renew all creation, freeing it from the curse of evil.

Hope in Despair

Hope in Despair (With You)
Despair brings with it sadness and depression. It is said that human beings last a maximum of 40 days without food, 4 days without water and 4 minutes without air, while without any hope we do not even last 4 seconds. Hope keeps us alive. Let us not be upset because of problems and difficulties. Rather, let us give all our concerns to God. If we leave our thoughts and worries to God, we may not be delivered from hardship, but we will certainly be free from sorrow and worries. We need to give all our cares to God.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ From the Dead

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ From the Dead (With You)
Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He arose! Since the creation of the world, there has never been a more important event than the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. If Christ did not rise from the dead, there would be no church, no Christianity, and no salvation for sinful man. The whole course of history would have been completely different. Some sceptics repudiate this fact and claim that Christ was not crucified at all so, of course, he could not have risen from the dead. But they are wrong. The resurrection of Jesus is a historical fact. Not only the disciples of Jesus Christ but also many other people witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. You cannot hide the truth. The truth will always out.

Assurance of Salvation

Assurance of Salvation (With You)
When we are in Christ, our sins will be forgiven and cleansed, and we will be justified in the sight of God. Whoever is not in Christ will be convicted and will be punished for their sins. It must be emphasized that believers will be justified because of the righteousness of Christ, and not because of their own righteousness. This is because he, Jesus Christ, lived without sin.

Who Should Be Afraid Of?

Who Should Be Afraid Of? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Christian believers are not afraid of evil and humans; Except God. Because only humans and evil spirits destroy the body. But God alone is the owner of the body and soul, who will be sent to hell and who will be given eternal life. So we should take care of our daily life, including language control; Sit; Do not get up so that we will be thrown into hell.

Father- God Beyond Us (Reflections on Life 2)
People ask: "Why do you call God your father? Is this not blasphemy?" We, the followers of Christ, worship a God who introduces himself as a father in his word (a God beyond us) and who, in his love and grace, gives us the permission to understand this fatherhood according to our own understanding. Being a father means that he is with us in all stages of life and in all our needs and does not leave us alone.
