Hiki iā ʻoe ke hilinaʻi i ka ʻUhane Hemolele?

ʻO kekahi o ko mākou mau lunakahiko i ʻōlelo hou mai iaʻu ua kumu ʻo ia i bapetizo ʻia i nā makahiki he 20 i hala iho nei no ka mea makemake ʻo ia e loaʻa ka mana o ka ʻUhane Hemolele i hiki iā ia ke lanakila i kona mau hewa a pau. Ua maikaʻi kāna mau ʻōlelo, akā naʻe, ua ʻano iki kona ʻike (ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻike kahi kanaka i ʻike, ua hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia mākou e ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua me ko mākou kuhi hewa ʻana).

ʻAʻole ʻo ka ʻUhane Hemolele kahi mea e hiki ai iā mākou ke "hoʻohuli" e hoʻokō i kā mākou "pahuhopu lanakila," e like me kekahi ʻano supercharger no ko mākou makemake. ʻO ka ʻUhane Hemolele ke Akua, aia pū ʻo ia me mākou a i loko o mākou, hāʻawi ʻo ia iā mākou i ke aloha, ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka pilina pili a ka Makua i hiki ai iā mākou ma o Kristo. Ma o Kristo la, ua hoolilo ka Makua ia kakou i mau keiki nana, a ua haawi mai ka Uhane Hemolele ia kakou i ka ike uhane e ike ia mea (Roma. 8,16). Hāʻawi ka ʻUhane Hemolele iā mākou i ka pilina pili me ke Akua ma o Kristo, akā ʻaʻole ia e hōʻole i ko mākou hiki ke hana hewa. E mau ana ka manao hewa, ka manao hewa, ka manao hewa, ka olelo a me ka hana hewa. 

ʻOiai inā makemake mākou e hāʻawi i kahi ʻano maʻamau, ʻike mākou ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana. Ua ʻike mākou ka makemake o ke Akua no mākou e hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai i kēia pilikia, akā no kekahi kumu i manaʻo ʻole ʻia he mana ʻole e hūnā i kona mana i luna o mākou.

Hiki iā mākou ke manaʻoʻiʻo e hana maoli ana ka ʻUhane Hemolele i loko o ko mākou ola - ʻoiai inā ʻaʻohe mea e hana maoli nei no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou he "maikaʻi" Karistiano? Inā hoʻomau mākou i ka hakakā me ka hewa me he mea lā ʻaʻole mākou e loli nui, ke manaʻo nei mākou ua haʻihaʻi mākou i hiki ʻole i ke Akua ke hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia?

Nā pēpē a me nā ʻōpio

I ka hiki ʻana iā Kristo i ka hilinaʻi, hānau hou kākou, hana hou ʻia e Kristo. He mau mea hou mākou, he poʻe hou, nā pēpē i loko o Kristo. ʻAʻohe nā ikaika a nā pēpē, ʻaʻohe o lākou mākaukau, hoʻomaʻemaʻe lākou iā lākou iho.

Ke ulu nei lākou, loaʻa iā lākou kekahi mau mākaukau a hoʻomaka i ka ʻike ʻana ua nui nā mea hiki ʻole iā lākou ke hana, kahi manawa e alakaʻi ai i ka pōʻino. Kūpono lākou me nā mea penaʻi a me nā ʻāhane, hopohopo i hiki ʻole iā lākou ke hana me ka pākeke. Akā ʻaʻole nā ​​kōkua o ka hōʻino nui - ʻo ka manawa a me ka hana wale nō e kōkua.

Pili kēia i ko mākou ola ʻuhane. I kekahi manawa, loaʻa i nā Karistiano ʻōpio ka mana nui e hoʻopau i ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a i ʻole ka huhū wela. I kekahi manawa, he "waiwai" koke ka poe Kristiano opiopio no ka ekalesia. Ma hope o ka nui o nā manawa, me he mea lā, hakakā nā Karistiano me nā hewa like ma mua, ua like ko lākou mau ʻano, nā makaʻu a me nā pilikia. ʻAʻole lākou he pilikua uhane.

Ua lanakila ʻo Iesū i ka hewa, ua haʻi ʻia iā mākou, akā me he mea lā aia ka hewa iā mākou i kona mana. Ua lanakila ka hewa i loko o kākou, akā, ke mālama nei ia iā kākou me he mea lā he mau pio kākou. Auē ka poʻe pōʻino o kākou! ʻO wai ka mea e hoʻōla iā mākou mai ka hewa a me ka make? ʻO Iesu ʻoiaʻiʻo (Roma 7,24-25). Ua lanakila ʻo ia - a ua hana ʻo ia i kēlā lanakila i ko mākou lanakila pū kekahi.

Akā ʻaʻole mākou ʻike i ka lanakila piha. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i kona mana ma luna o ka make, ʻaʻole hoʻi mākou i ʻike i ka pau ʻana o ka hewa i loko o ko mākou ola. E like me ka Hebera 2,8 ʻaʻole mākou ʻike i nā mea a pau i hana ʻia ma lalo o ko mākou mau wāwae. ʻO kā mākou hana - ke hilinaʻi nei mākou iā Iesu. Ke hilinaʻi nei mākou i kāna ʻōlelo ua lanakila ʻo ia, a ke hilinaʻi nei mākou i kāna ʻōlelo ua lanakila pū mākou iā ia.

ʻOiai ke ʻike nei mākou ua maʻemaʻe mākou a maʻemaʻe i loko o Kristo, makemake mākou e ʻike i ka holomua i ka lanakila ʻana i ko kākou hewa iho. ʻOiai ua paʻakikī paha kēia kaʻina hana i ka manawa, akā hiki iā mākou ke hilinaʻi i ke Akua e hana i ka mea āna i hoʻohiki ai - i loko o mākou kekahi me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole ia o kā mākou hana. ʻO ia kāna kumuhana, ʻaʻole kā mākou. Inā hoʻokomo mākou i ke Akua, pono mākou e kali e kali iā ia. Pono mākou e hilinaʻi iā ia e hana i kāna hana i loko o ke ala a me ka wikiwiki i manaʻo ʻo ia he pololei.
Manaʻo pinepine ka poʻe ʻōpio ua ʻoi aku ko lākou ʻike ma mua o ko lākou makuakāne. Ke'ōlelo nei lākou uaʻike lākou i keʻano o ke ola a hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā mea a pau ma o lākou iho (ʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole like nā'ōpio a pau, akā, ua hoʻokumuʻia ka stereotype ma kekahi mau hōʻike).

Hiki iā mākou nā Karistiano ke noʻonoʻo i kekahi manawa e like me ka ulu ʻana. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka e noʻonoʻo e pili ana ka "ulu" ʻuhane i ka ʻano kūpono, e alakaʻi iā mākou e noʻonoʻo ʻo ko mākou kū i mua o ke Akua e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o kā mākou hana. Ke maikaʻi kā mākou ʻano, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻike i ka manaʻo e nānā haʻahaʻa i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i hauʻoli ʻole e like me mākou. Inā ʻaʻole mākou e hana maikaʻi, hiki iā mākou ke hāʻule i loko o ke kaumaha a me ke kaumaha, me ka manaʻoʻiʻo ua haʻalele ke Akua iā mākou.

Aka, aole ke Akua i noi mai ia kakou e hoapono ia kakou imua ona; Ke noi mai nei oia ia kakou e hilinai ia ia, ka mea nana e hoapono i ka poe hewa (Roma 4,5) ka mea i aloha mai iā mākou a hoʻōla iā mākou no Kristo.
I ko kakou oo ana iloko o Kristo, ua oi aku ko kakou hilinai ana i ke aloha o ke Akua, i hoikeia mai ia kakou ma ke ala kiekie iloko o Kristo.1. Johannes 4,9). Ke hoʻomaha nei mākou iā ia, ke kakali nei mākou i ka lā i hōʻike ʻia ma ka Hōʻike 21,4 Ua wehewehe ʻia: “A e holoi ke Akua i nā waimaka a pau mai ko lākou mau maka aku, ʻaʻole e make hou, ʻaʻole hoʻi he uwē, ʻaʻole uwē, ʻaʻole e ʻeha; no ka mea, ua hala ka mua.

Oo!

Ke hiki mai kēlā lā, ʻōlelo ʻo Paulo, e hoʻololi koke ʻia mākou. E lilo kakou i make ole, make ole, palaho ole (1. Korineto 15,52-53). Hoʻōla ke Akua i ke kanaka o loko, ʻaʻole ko waho wale nō. Hoʻololi ʻo ia i ko mākou ʻuhane, mai ka nāwaliwali a me ka impermanence i ka nani, a ʻo ka mea nui loa, ʻo ka hewa ʻole. I ke kani ʻana o ka pū hope, e hoʻololi koke ʻia mākou. Ua hoolaia ko kakou kino (Roma 8,23), akā ʻoi aku ma mua o kēlā, e ʻike mākou iā mākou iho i ka hana ʻana o ke Akua iā mākou ma Kristo (1. Johannes 3,2). A laila e ʻike mākou i ka ʻike ʻike ʻole ʻia a ke Akua i hana maoli ai iā Kristo.

Ma o Kristo la, ua lanakila a lukuia ko kakou hewa kahiko. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua make ʻo ia. "No ka mea, ua make ʻoe," wahi a Paulo, "a ua hūnā ʻia ko ʻoukou ola me Kristo i ke Akua" (Kolosa. 3,3). ʻO ka hewa "e hoʻopahele maʻalahi iā mākou" a "hoʻāʻo mākou e haʻalele" (Hebera 1 Kor2,1) ʻaʻole ia he ʻāpana o ke kanaka hou i loko o Kristo e like me ka makemake o ke Akua. Iloko o Kristo he ola hou kakou. I ka hiki ʻana mai o Kristo, e ʻike mākou iā mākou iho e like me ka Makua i hana ai iā mākou i loko o Kristo. E ʻike mākou iā mākou iho e like me mākou, he hemolele i loko o Kristo ʻo ia ko mākou ola maoli (Kolosa 3,3-4). No kēia kumu, ʻoiai ua make mākou a ua ala pū me Kristo, "pepehi" mākou (pauku 5) i ka mea o ka honua i loko o mākou.

Ua lanakila mākou iā Sātana a me ka hewa a me ka make ma ke ala hoʻokahi wale nō - ma o ke koko o ke Keikihipa (Revelation 1 Cor.2,11). Ma o ka lanakila ana o Iesu Kristo ma ke kea e lanakila ai kakou maluna o ka hewa a me ka make, aole ma ko kakou paio ana i ka hewa. ʻO kā mākou paio kūʻē i ka hewa, he hōʻike ia o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i loko o Kristo, ʻaʻole mākou he ʻenemi hou i ke Akua, akā ʻo kona mau hoaaloha, ma o ka ʻUhane Hemolele i hui pū me ia, ka mea e hana ana i loko o mākou i ka makemake a me ka hana no ke Akua. leʻaleʻa maikaʻi (Philippians 2,13).

ʻO kā mākou hakakā ʻana i ka hewa ʻaʻole ke kumu o ko mākou pono iā Kristo. ʻAʻole ia e hoʻopuka i ka hemolele. ʻO ke aloha a me ka maikaʻi o ke Akua iā mākou i loko o Kristo, ʻo ia ke kumu, ʻo ke kumu hoʻokahi, no ko mākou pono. Ua hoaponoia kakou, ua hoolaia e ke Akua ma o Kristo la mai na hewa a me na hewa a pau, no ka mea, ua piha ke Akua i ke aloha a me ka lokomaikai - aole no kekahi kumu e ae. ʻO kā mākou hakakā ʻana i ka hewa ʻo ia ka hua o nā mea hou a me ka pono i hāʻawi ʻia iā mākou ma o Kristo lā, ʻaʻole ke kumu. Ua make ʻo Kristo no kākou i ka wā i hewa ai kākou (Roma 5,8).

Ke inaina nei mākou i ka hewa, ke hakakā nei mākou i ka hewa, makemake mākou e pale i ka ʻeha a me ka ʻeha i hana ʻia e ka hewa no mākou iho a no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe no ka mea ua hoʻōla ke Akua iā mākou i loko o Kristo a hana ka ʻUhane Hemolele i loko o mākou. No ka mea, aia mākou i loko o Kristo, ke kaua nei mākou i ka hewa i "hoʻohele maʻalahi iā mākou" (Heb. 12,1). ʻAʻole naʻe mākou e loaʻa ka lanakila ma o kā mākou hoʻoikaika ʻana, ʻaʻole ma o kā mākou hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka ʻUhane Hemolele. Loaʻa iā mākou ka lanakila ma ke koko o Kristo, ma o kona make ʻana a me ke ala hou ʻana ma ke ʻano he Keiki incarnate a ke Akua, ke Akua ma ke kino no mākou.

Ua hana mua ke Akua i loko o Kristo i nā mea a pau e pono ai ko kākou ola a ua hāʻawi mua ʻo ia iā mākou i nā mea āpau e pono ai no ke ola a me ka haipule, ma ke kāhea wale ʻana iā mākou e ʻike iā ia ma Kristo. Ua hana ʻo ia i kēia no ka mea maikaʻi loa ʻo ia (2. Petero 1:2-3).

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka Puka Puka Wā e hiki mai ana ka manawa e walaʻau ʻole ai nā uē, nā waimaka, ka hōʻeha ʻana a me ka ʻeha - a ʻo ia hoʻi ka hopena hou ʻole no ka mea he hewa ia, hewa kena ae la. Mamua koke iho, ma ka wa pokole, e pau ka pouli a hiki hou ole ka hewa e hoʻihoʻi iā mākou e noʻonoʻo nei aia nō kāna poʻe pio. ʻO ko mākou kūʻokoʻa maoli, ko mākou ola hou ma loko o Kristo, e ʻoliʻoli pū me ia i kona nani a pau. I kēiaʻano, hilinaʻi mākou i ka huaʻōlelo o kāna hoʻohiki - a ʻo ia kekahi mea kūpono e noʻonoʻo pono ai.
