Title (I) To set us free (Galatians 5:1~13)
Contents
“For Christ set us free, so let us no longer be subject to a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1).
“Humans enslaved by the devil, the ruler of death”
① When he says that man made of spirit and flesh is made in the image of God, he is referring to the “spirit”. ② This mind and body were tempted by the devil, betrayed their master, the spirit, and sinned against God's commandments. They were condemned by God, and their spirit and body died. ③ “Spirit” was condemned and died from the nominative responsibility for not controlling and managing the flesh, and “flesh” was condemned to death as the person who committed the crime. It means that I became a slave to the devil like a corpse that can't do anything.
“The Man Who Was Raised by God”
① God is the true master of the mind and body and makes use of the “spirit” that is in the subject position of man, so that the “spirit” is again the subject and master of the mind and body, and the salvation of eternal life by controlling, governing, and directing the mind and body. In order to achieve this, he cast out the devil, the fake master, who had control over the mind and body from within us, by giving the “spirit” the merits of Jesus’ atonement (forgiveness, justification, and reconciliation) and resurrecting him through the work of the truth and the Holy Spirit. . ② Therefore, to those who believe in Jesus who have received the merits of the atonement, the devil has lost his sovereignty, so he cannot rule. ③ For those of faith who know, acknowledge and be sure of this fact, the devil becomes a tool for salvation.
“The old man and the new man in the saints”
① Before we believed in Jesus as our Savior, we had one person within us, but after we believed, a new person was created in us and became two. ② Those who were in us before we believed in Jesus as our Savior were called old people and were created after believing is called the "new man" and the inner man. ③ In Ephesians 4:22-24, the “old man” is said to be “the man of old ways, which perish according to the lusts of temptation.” ④ The “new man” is “renewed in the spirit, created after God in righteousness and holiness of truth.” who received it." ⑤ There are people who came into existence because the devil entered people, took over mind and body, acted as masters, and acted and acted as a master. , centered on the temporary, and ⑦ “The new man is a person who has been reborn through the work of the truth and the Holy Spirit, having received the merits of Jesus’ atonement on the cross, and is God-centered, spirit-centered, heaven-centered, and eternal-centered.
“The Confrontation of the Old and the New”
① “The lust of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the lust of the Spirit is against the flesh, because the two oppose each other, so that you cannot do what you want” (Galatians 5:17). Because they are with us at all times, rather than being present, if our mind and body are not sober, the devil welcomes the old man, the master of the old man, and does the destructive actions of disobeying God's commandments according to the wishes of the old man and disobeying God's commandments. Reading, listening, learning, meditating, attending worship services, and receiving grace when listening to prayers, hymns, and sermons receive the new person whose owner is the Holy Spirit, so that their mind and body live according to the truth and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. ④ In this way, when we encounter a certain person, certain event, or certain thing, there is a conflict that moves from the old person to the new person, and from the new person to the old person.
“Let’s separate the reality of their actions and set the new one free”
①For saints, there are people who live half-by-half with the wishes and freedoms of the new people and the wishes and freedoms of the old people, and there are people who live only with the wishes and freedoms of the old people or the wishes and freedoms of the new people. ② If there is any wish, thought, will, or greed in one's heart, it is necessary to distinguish whether it was created by the old person or the new person, throw away the things of the old and awaken the new person so that only the new person can act. ③Keep in mind that the wishes of the old people are the wishes of the devil, the wishes of sin, the wishes of fallen original sin, the wishes of sinful habits, and the wishes of destruction, and prevent these wishes from entering this heart and prevent them from happening. You must set yourself free as a new person according to the wishes of the new person. ④ This person, this wise person, handsome person, blessed person, truly successful person. ⑤ If you do not know this and live randomly, you are a failure that destroys yourself and others even if you succeed in all fields of the world.
