If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children!
Although the pain, then hear it that we get no, also from our heaven Father
This is from my commentaries from Hebrews 12 1. When we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us, and with perseverance the race that is set before us,
This cloud of witness is all that has gone before us and who has stood out the race and fight. They cheer us up today so that we will achieve the goal; sluttfrelsen.
Then we put the burden upon, it may be much that is also not directly sin. And sin will be 100% certain ruin for us on the path of faith. Endure speaks of the Christian life is more like a marathon race to calculate than a 100 m race!
2 with eyes fixed on him who is of faith author and finisher, Jesus. To get the joy he had in store, he endured the cross, without despising the shame, and now he has set itself the right of the throne of God.
We have read about many heroes of faith but they are all people with limitations and errors and omissions that all of us. Only thing that we are constantly in all parts may have as a role model in all things is the Lord Jesus. Jesus endured suffering aspect of God's life followed by exaltation. How is he a role model and example for us all.
With eyes fixed on Jesus is also keeping in Christian life, people disappoint and fail. Also an even makes it worse sometimes.
2. Tim. 2. 13 If we are faithless, he is faithful, for he can not deny himself.
3 Yes, think of him who endured such opposition from sinners, lest you become weary and discouraged.
Think of him, says the author. It is healthy and the right to think of Jesus. And we will also let his word dwell among us. We get tired and can get bored. Then we let the focus be Christ and not ourselves. Resistance, we must reckon with. And get discouraged too, as is the solution to this as all other areas of Christian life.
Jesus and be his eyes and thought circled around him.
1. Kor. 1. 30 Ye are his works in Christ Jesus, who has become our wisdom from God, our righteousness, sanctification and redemption, 31 that the boast, the glory of the Lord, as it is written.
4 In the struggle against sin you have not yet made such resistance that it came to life.
At the beginning of the Christian revival in Jerusalem, the Jesus-believers persecuted (read Apostegjerningene). As normalized things up and even many priests were obedient against the faith. There was nothing of the external resistor that got someone to back out and even go back to the Act.
Acts 6. 7 Word of God reaching more and more, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly. Also a number of priests became obedient to the faith.
5 Have you forgotten the electrifying word that speaks to you as to sons:
My son, despise not the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.
The fact that Paul was so strongly with them, was painful yet necessary.
Oh hear we go to is actually part of it to be disciplined and reprimanded by the Lord.
The fact that God also uses people to treat a number of times makes the process more humiliating, but it is necessary to take corrective too!
6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and punishes every son he receives.
To get the code violation is proof that you are a true child of God. I as a father raising my own kids, not the neighbor. So it is with God, he is only raising their own children.
7 Endure hardship, it serves to educate you, God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
One day all the pain to be a thing of the past. Now in the meantime, God teaches us to future glory. It is quite natural that there is a process in pain.
All life growing pain has elements in it. If it had been dead was never known to change and pain.
8 If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children.
Here is Paul built on what is natural for us. As a sign that one is a real children as are also learning, instruction and discipline with, of course, also on the spiritual plane.
9 We have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Have we not much more reason to bow down before him who is the Father of spirits, that we may live!
Our Father in heaven is our common spiritual father. He treats us both equally and induelt. Similar in the sense that no one has tinned with him because of external things, prestige and rank in people and their own eyes. Induelt because he treats each one as best and expedient for the individual.
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best. But he does it for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
God in heaven is a responsible, reliable and loving Father. He is the very best Father and Mother. Nothing of what he does, some do better, and after him even better.
Psalm 103 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. 14 For he knows how we are made, he remembereth that we are dust.
11 All discipline seems pleasant at the moment to be more of sorrow than of joy. But since it gives peace and righteousness in those who have been trained by it.
Here's what Paul is repeating itself. But the path of least resistance is for us humans but it is very often not the way of God. When the Israelites left Egypt they went through the most dangerous road, and the most difficult. But it was God's way and that God could do great work and show who he was.
12 Therefore, straight out the hands relax and strengthen the feeble knees!
This is a quote from Isaiah, which indicates that the Constitution is very poor. When a return to law and self-righteousness is just as serious in the eyes of God as living in sin and immorality. It is only and alone Christ as Savior and it is through him we shall also live as believers. This is the Bible and New Testament core truth.
Acts 4. 12 And there is salvation in any other: for there is neither any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(1930 tr.).
Kol. 2. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.
13 Let your feet go straight ahead on the road, so it does not go limp out of joint but rather be healthy again.
Again quoting from Paul GT, now it is from Psalm 73 Asaf had not lived close to the Lord but only looked at the circumstances, therefore, was made a spiritual darkness over him. This could also be transferred to the church here and they had to take lessons and do not fall into the same ditch.
14 careful to live in peace with all, and striving for holiness, for without holiness no one will see the Lord.
The fact that these things had made great and internal strife in the church in Jerusalem is quite understandable. When developing the voice comes to the surface are also conflicts with the rule. But that should not be. Therefore it is necessary that the sanctification process accelerates and increases throughout his life! (End of quote).
Jesus is the only
There I realized very quickly in my Christian life, especially after I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. That people will always disappoint and fail, even if it hurts when you experience it. So to have eyes and attention fixed on Jesus, it is the only viable and safe way in life as believers. Talk to him and invites him into all aspects of your life, he lives to make intercession for you and me!
Discipline is God's way with us all
After the experience of salvation and when we have cravings for beautiful and had a pleasant and enjoyable, then comes a new and more important phase in our lives. Where discipline and parenting comes into play. Jesus spoke about making disciples, for this is what it is all about. Do not like to hear something negative about yourself, you're in danger of losing his life in God. For Jesus crop up. This process is painful but it is the only way for us to be like him, or they are so much in our lives to sows the industry so that we stagnate and end up in our lives as believers. This process here is the one that makes us fit for the kingdom of God to be his associates. It is only when we can say like Paul that we are believers of the "right" variety, which the enemy can not reach.
This is from my commentaries Galatians 2 20 I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
The law only shows God's standard and our helplessness and shortcomings. What is the solution? As always, Jesus Christ. He moves into the faith, and he, the new creature, can not and will sin. When he gets to be Lord, we live as Christ in this world.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God. For if one can win justice through the law, Christ died course to no avail.
Life, Old Adam will die, and it happens when the law. When we realize that we are inadequate. Then the Spirit and the new life that makes the solution is in place!
At the same time we are born again by the gospel, the power of God unto salvation.
The law is not valid and it requires the whole time. Follow it and you will live, follow it and you will die. When I choose the latter, to die. So we stand up again, in Christ, then neither can the law require, be allowed to require or may require some of us. We are dead, but Jesus through His Spirit live by faith in our hearts and he lives his life as well with us, great! There is a shift that the law is to "help" to by showing us our shortcomings and inadequacies. But the solution is Jesus, the gospel, the new life and the Spirit working in and through the believer! It is when the law and the gospel kept separate, that we can use and make us the use of the law. It is only the gospel that saves and sets free. (End of quote).
The secret of living as a believer here on earth is to say like Paul: "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. "
The secret is that Christ lives in me
Yet for the spiritual education and development is essential discipline. What is discipline? It can be said about it, but it is to feel the hand of God as a Father's hand, where a well know and experience the consequences of their actions.
To experience the discipline is to get a no, and accept it. Know this does not fit for today's spoiled and self-rule that allows believers that their hearts in the most part, but this is the biblical way to go.
Here is the meaning of the word: discipline, discipline, kustus. Penalties; get discipline for anything.
After we have gone through this process we are fit for service in the kingdom of God more than ever, God and the Lamb be praised from now until forever!
