The Gospel long long stori

1 Korinthian 6:1-8

By David Strain

Yu no salim kopim ol Skripja long han na turim wantaim mi go long 1 Korinthian kapitulo 6; 1 Korinthian kapitulo 6, long pes 954 sapos yu use wan bilong ol bible bilong mipela church. Nau, las taim mipela i stap long kapitulo 5, na mipela i thinkim ol difficult teren we Paul i go long en i stat long cover long ol narapela buk bilong 1 Korinthian. Kapitulo 1 long 4 i bin isi na waild, tasol olsem mipela i say long kapitulo 5, long hia i go ol whitewater rafting; i go long bumpy waild. I gat ol challenging material. Las taim long kapitulo 5, yu no save, em i toktok long problem bilong no good imoraliti na disiplin bilong churchn. Taim ia problem we i wailim ol Korinthian churchn i gat to do wantaim ol manmeri i go long kot sivil long ol narapela manmeri bilong en, olsem long ol petit dispit long fellowship bilong lokal churchn, na Paul i raitim long challenge ol na long addressim ol problem we i no good.

Na taim bilong yumi lukim olsem Paul i save wokim long naraplo, i gat tupela samting we i helpim yumi long yumi go long naraplo, long yumi understandim na yumi apilim olsem. First, em i go long olsem Paul i no save tok long 1 Korin 6, vers 1 long 8. Em i no save tok olsem ol matta long kriminal law i mas stay quiet na yumi hanim long olsem long kilis. Dat i no em i tok. Em i no save suggest olsem ol man i save stilim ol samting long kilis long naraplo. Long fact, taim em i askim, apostel Paul i readim long invoke em i right long olsem Roman citizen na em i apel long kot long justis long naraplo. Ol sivil magistret, em i go long yumi long Roma 13, i God i minista, em i servan, we i God i ordaunim na appointim long yumi. Olsem Paul i no save tok olsem yumi no save apel long ol law long land long taim we i nidim. I gat ol semtin we i bilip i no save lukim naraplo, acting long defendim ol naraplo, long yumi use ol law long land long taim we i no naraplo.

Dat i no olsem we i happening long Korin, however. I seem olsem long Korin, ol memba long kilis i forgetim ol obligasen long Kristen long forgiveim naraplo na long lavim naraplo na long praktisim ol patience long naraplo. Na long naraplo, i save use ol kot long skorem poin, long mekim mani, na long gainim ol competitive advantage long bisnis na long sosaieti long expense long brata na sista long Krais. Na olsem yumi save imagine, dat i save wrek havok long fellowship long Korin kilis. Na olsem dat i first ting we i keepim long maind long yumi wokim long 1 Korin 6:1-11. Paul i no despising ol proper use long sivil law long taim we i nidim, tasol em i challenge ol kain long misuse long ol selfish na malicious ends we i common long Korin.

Dispela narapela samting we i go long yumi helpim yumi understandim tok bilong Paul i stap. I go long ol verse 1 long 8, ol i no wail laik long kotek tok i stap long dispela pasin bilong leta. So kapitol 5, yumi lukim, Paul i tok long wanpela kas i no wail laik long pasin bilong seks long ol manmeri. Na i tok long disiplin bilong kirk long ol manmeri we i no wail laik long pasin bilong seks na i no nap.

Taim i go long kapitol 6, i go bek long pasin bilong seks. Na i go long narapela pasin. So long kapitol 5 na long narapela hap long kapitol 6, i tok long pasin bilong seks we i no wail laik na i sinful. Na long kapitol 7, i go tok long marit na pasin bilong seks we i wail laik na i honor long God. Na ol i mekim sens; i gat ol i logic.

Na yumi findim yumi yet long kapitol 6, 1 long 8, i no wail laik long yumi het. Long wanem i stap long dispela kotek tok long pasin bilong ol manmeri? I no wail laik. Mi think i gat tupela samting yumi ken keepim long mind we i helpim yumi long answerim dispela kestin.

Furim, yumi lukim, long kapitol 5, Paul i kolim ol Korin i go long disiplin bilong kirk; ol i no wail laik, ol i no wail laik long go long disiplin long kas bilong pasin bilong seks we i no wail laik long wanpela manmeri. So long kapitol 5, ol i no wail laik long go long aksen we i wail laik long sin.

Long kapitol 6 – laik dispela long kontrasting – ol i wail laik long go long aksen we i no wail laik, we i go long kotek, long legal na judicial aksen, long wanem i no wail laik long mekim mani kwik.

Dispela tupela samting i no wail kim long ston. O nogat? I gat kontrast, i gat kontrapela, na mipela i mas feelim stil bilong en. Ol i kros long tok bilong disiplin bilong siasin, tasol ol i no problem long sueim narapela man bilong siasin long olgeta moni, sapos mipela i givim ol hal. Dispela samting i no ken wail, Paul i tok.

Na narapela reason bilong dispela materiel i stap hia, em i probably i wail long oda bilong ol samting i bin presen long Paul long Korintia. Na Paul i respondim ol long oda bilong ol i kam. Na Paul i respondim ol kes by kes, wail ol i divisions long siasin long kapitel 1 long 4, o immoraliti, o disiplin bilong siasin, o lawsuit long narapela man i bilip, Paul i takeim ol, wail ol i case study, long soim ol, wail, long ol problem i face mipela, ansan bilong ol i stap long wanem. Paul i aplikim Gospil bilong Jisu Krais i kruse long ol het na laif bilong ol i bilip long Korintia. Na Paul i tok, “Sapos yu i getim dispela, sapos dispela i stat long go insait long tingking bilong yu, na i rewire na rekonfigerem tingking bilong yu long graun, orait, ol narapela samting i change tu.” Problem bilong Korintia i wail long ol i failim long understandim na aplikim Gospil.

Na olsem, kapitel 6, 1 long 11, i just narapela case study long ples long dispela leta, soim mipela Gospil bilong Jisu i wail long ol griti realiti bilong ol problem long wol, wail long mipela. Olsem, mipela i striveim tugeita, long taim mipela i readim materiel long narapela minit, long keepim ol dispela konsept na kategoria long mind bilong mipela. Ol i helpim mipela, mi think, long understandim olsem bilong Paul.

Our Papa, Yu Word i stap nau long frensap. Mipela i prea long grase long harim en na long resivim mesij bilong en, na long en, mipela i draw bak, long bendim olgeta lutu long Lord Jisu, em i King bilong king na Lord bilong lord. Long nem bilong en, amen.

1 Korinthians kap 6, vers 1. Dispela em i Word bilong God i gat olgeta power:

Yu no wail yu gat tok bilong yu no go long kot bilong man i no save long God, na no go long ol man bilong God? O nogat, yu no save ol man bilong God bai lukautim wold? Na sypu wold bai kam lukautim, ariu yu no ken lukautim ol liklik matta? Yu no save, mipela bai lukautim ol angel? Olgeta, bai lukautim ol man i wail long laip bilong yumi! Sapos yu gat olsem, ariu yu no wail yu bringim i go long ol man i no gat stanim long banis bilong God? Mi tok dispela long yu, long sem bilong yu. I no wail, i gat wanpela man bilong yu i ken wailim tok bilong tupela brata, na brata i go kot long brata, na i go long man i no save long God? Yu gat kot lukautim olgeta i no wail yu. Ariu yu no wail yu karim rong? Ariu yu no wail yu givim? Tasol yu yet i karim rong, na yu givim, even long yu brata!

O nogat, yu no save ol man i no save long God i no bai go long kingdom bilong God? No wail yu, ol man i mekim sin, i no wail yu. I gat ol man i mekim pasin nogut, ol man i lotu long ai, ol man i mekim adultery, ol man i save mekim pasin wantaim man, ol man i stilim, ol man i laikim mani, ol man i dringim, ol man i tok bilong stilim, ol man i giaman i no bai go long kingdom bilong God. Na olsem wail yu. Tasol yu wail yu, yu klostu, yu wail yu long nem bilong Lord Jesus Christ na long Spirit bilong God i gat olgeta power.

Amen, na mipela i prea long God, i tok long Word bilong i.

Sapos long tok bilong ol manmeri long Corinth, mi ting olsem dispela save bilong narapela man i tok “Gospel amnesia” em i olsem diagnosis i go long narapela rot. Gospel Amnesia – em i dispela samting ol manmeri long Corinth i sufferim. Mi readim stori wanpela man bilong Benjamin Kyle i bin pait na rausim na nau i sufferim amnesia nogut. Em i spendim olgeta taim bilong em long lookim ol sait bilong manmeri i laikim, olsem em i try long fillim stori bilong em yet; em i laik try long save long pasin bilong em. Em i lusim aidenitiet bilong em; em i no save husat em i.

Na ol manmeri long Corinth i act – na long taim bilong ol problem i Paul i tok, mitupela i lukim olsem. Ol i act olsem samting i laikim i happen long ol. Ol i gat kain bilong Gospel amnesia. I go wel long narapela stori bilong Jisas, aidenitiet bilong ol long Em, i bin lukim na ignorim na lufim long situesen long situesen. Sapos yu lukim pasis bilong mitupela, yu go lukim Paul i mekim poin bilong em long kaskain question, “Yu no save?” Olem verse 2, “Yu no save olsem ol manmeri bilong God i goin judgeim wol?” Verse 3, “Yu no save mitupela i goin judgeim ol angel?” Verse 9, “Yu no save olsem ol manmeri i no wailait i no goin inheritim kingdom bilong God?” I gat samting ol i save. Paul i bin tichim ol; Cephas i bin tichim narapela. Apollos i bin wailait na tichim ol; narapela i bin opanim ol Skripta long ol. Paul i bin raitim long ol. Ol i bin tichim wailait long ol samting bilong God na ol i save. Tasol ol i seem i lufim. Ol i gat kaind long Gospel amnesia. Na konsekuensi nogut i follow.

In particular, ol i stap go long kot bilong ol narapela man moa liklik ol i no save long ol stil long ol laip bilong ol bipo. Ol i no save long laip bilong ol Kristen. Olsem Paul i askim long verse 1, “Taim wan man i gat problem long narapela, em i go long kot bilong ol manmeri ino stret long ol halipela?” Olsem ol i no moa. Ol i halipela. Taim ol i manmeri bilong God, i no ol manmeri bilong ol bipo. Ol i no save long laip bilong ol bipo, long ol valu bilong graun, ol i save long ol valu bilong King Jesus, em i ol bilong em. Ol i no save long problem ol man i stil gat. Ol i no save long ol laip bilong ol Kristen, ol i no save rausim ol laip bilong ol bipo. Harim, mi laikim yu harim, long wan taim, long ol kot long ol Korint i wok. Em i tok, “Long taim i go long kot, wan man i mas kalkulim kausik na sans long winim, no long ol merit bilong kas, long status bilong defenden na ol konekshan. Ol manmeri long graun,” em i tok, “i kontendim long kot long ol i laikim onra. Na wan man i winim onra long i daunim narapela man. Olsem i no save long kot, i no save long stretim.”

Nau em i problem bilong Korint! Ol i no interes long justice; ol i interes long kamap olsem manmeri long sosaiti, na mekim narapela manmeri i go daun long ol i no laikim. Na ol i no care long ol i bilip o nogat. Ol "kas i tambu," olsem Paul i kolim long verse 2, i smel long pride na snobri na no love olsem ol i wokim long olsem ol i no yet kristian. Ol i sik long forgetim Gospeli. Ol i forgetim se nau ol i "long Krais," nau Jisas i reskim ol, ol i ol manmeri nupela i laif nupela long kontesto bilong komuniti nupela bilong God – eklesia bilong Jisas Krais.

Na Paul i adresim ol i forgetim Gospeli long tripela pasin, tripela pasin olsem true Gospel identiti i senisim hami. Fasta, sapos yu lukim pasis, fasta long verse 1 long 3, i tokim long futu bilong hami, we hami i go nau olsem hami i kristian; destinim bilong hami. Tende, long verse 4 long 8, i tokim long presen, i kolim hami long lukim olsem hami i laifim nau, nogat long hami i kristian. Na las, long verse 9 long 11, i tokim long pas; hami i kamap long gras bilong God taim i mekim hami kristian. Sapos hami i grasim ol i tambu, Paul i tok, hami i stat long recoverim sens tru bilong hami olsem manmeri long Krais na i senisim evri samting.

Futu bilong Hami

So mip lusim lukim stesin 1 long 3, plis. Paul i poinim mip long futuristic, mip la futuristic, we mip go long nau mip ol Kristen. Nau em i go argumentim olsem kristian komuniti i save mekim olsem mediation long dispute internal na bringim kamap long rekonsiliasen long brata na sista bilip olsem, nogat nid long go long kot sivil long ol mata. Church, afta ol, i sosaieti olsem narapla, givim Spirit bilong God, sinas save long gras, klamap long Krais. Na em i go askim long stesin 5, “Kanim it be olsem, i no gat wan man long yupela wise enaf long setel dispute long brata?” Church i save mekim olsem. Tasol ia long stesin 1 long 3, em i telim mip olsem mip save setel ol isu internal taim bilip man i fall out na no agree.

Our Future Destiny

Na em i poinim mip long futuristic destinim. Lukim stesin 2. “Yu no save olsem, seint i goin judge wol? Na sypela i goin judge wol, yumi no save judge olsem trifling kes? Yu no save olsem, yumi i goin judge angel? Olsem, i no save judge ol mata bilong laip ia?” Long bakground ia, i tambu olsem pasis long Mathew 19:28, ol wods bilong Jisas, we em i telim ol disciples, ol i goin sit long trons, judge Israel long nupela krusen. O ol skripsa long Testament Ol, olsem long buk bilong Daniel chapter 7, we, long Daniel 7, prophet i lukim wan olsem Son bilong Man i givim dominion na autoriti na kingdom. Na Daniel 7:27 mip readim, “Kingdom na dominion na bikpela bilong kingdoms aninit long heven i goin givim long pipel bilong seint bilong Most High.” Mip i goin ren na judge wantaim Jisas Krais. Dat i mip la exalted na glorious futuristic destinim.

But olsem Corinthians, Paul i say, i tambu long ston, ol i save lukluk long ol mata we no importance, even taim ol i goin judge ol angel wan dei. Tru, ol i no save mekim ol i save long ol samting we i belong long dis laif, ol Kristen i save wokim ol samting i go long ol brata. “Rememba we ol i go,” Paul i say long yumi. Rememba ol i go long ol i go long ston we i high, we ol i goin sit long kot we i belong long heven. Ol i goin be ol judge! Ol i save mekim ol i save long dis laif, ol i no save kilim ol naraplo brata? Ol i goin sit long kot we i belong long Krais, ol i no save use ol taktik we i belong long wol long mekim ol i save? Ol i save yusim ol naraplo brata we ol i goin serve long kot we i belong long heven? Rememba ol i go long heven, na ol i save mekim ol i save long dis laif.

Ol Kristen i go long heven.

Paul i say, yumi need lukluk long ol i laif we i no save – ol i laif we i save yusim, long taim ol i Kristen. Lukim ol verse 4 long 8. Ol i save paul i save mekim ol i save long ol i argument, ol i save lukim ol i wud “brata”. Lukim ol i pasis; ol verse 4 long 8:

Sapos ol i save ol i kes, ol i no save go long ol man we i no save long kot, long ol i shame. I tambu, ol i no save mekim ol i save long ol i dispute long ol brata, na brata i go long kot long naraplo brata, na ol i go long ol man we i no save Kristen? Ol i save go long kot long ol naraplo, ol i no save mekim ol i save. Ol i no save mekim ol i save long ol i rong? Ol i no save mekim ol i save long ol i stilim? Tasol ol i stilim, ol i mekim ol i rong – ol i brata!

Oltaim dispela gutnius bilong Gospil em i lus, na ol i no save long ol yet ol i wailait long Krais. Ol i no save yusim ol yet long ol i tambu na wailait long Krais. Ol i save ol i brata na susa long bilip long Jisas, ol i famili, tasol i no mekim sinikai long ol. Nogat, ol i go long kot bilong ol manmeri i no save long lotu, verse 4. Na Paul i say, verse 5, ol i mas shame long ol yet. Bai lotu i gat ol man i save na ol presen i nidim long ol lida bilong lotu, bai ol i ken helpim long ol dispute? I gat wan man i save long en, a? Ol Korin, yu no save, ol i tok proud long ol i save. “Yu save, nau,” Paul i say, “sapos yu ol i save, i no gat wan man i ken helpim long ol manmeri i bilip long God?”

Gospil Win

But nau, ol i go long ol manmeri we no bilip, ol manmeri we no stret, long stret long kot. Na i tok long verse 7 olsem “dispela i no go we. Ngeran long man i mekim rong o i stilim ol samting, long dispela pasin.” Nau, ngin i no go we long ol Kristen i mekim olsem? I no go we, long wanem i tok olsem, i go we, long ol Kristen i mekim olsem, long wanem i tok olsem Gospel i tok olsem, long ol manmeri i bilip long Jesus, i kamap brata o susa long ol manmeri we i no nap long ol manmeri we i no save. I no save long ol manmeri we i no save! Ol manmeri we i no get! Ol manmeri we i no save long yu! Ol background, ol ethnicity, ol pedigree – i ol samting we i no save long yu, i no save long ol manmeri we i no save. Tasol, nau, ol samting i no save, nau yu i kamap wan wantaim ol manmeri we i bilip long Krais. Nau yu i famili! Ol manmeri we i bilip long Krais i brata o susa. Yu i bindim wantaim long ol pasin we i no save long Gospel. Na i tok olsem, nau yu i masin forgive; yu i masin tanim narapela sida. Yu i masin mekim pasin long narapela; yu i masin lusim giaman long alta na go long narapela brata. Na taim yu i mekim olsem, na wol i lukim, long ol relationship i kamap long presua na i save long ol reason we i save long ol manmeri we i no save, tasol i no save, long ol Kristen i no save, long ol Kristen i mekim olsem, Paul i tok olsem i win. I win long Gospel. Wol i lukim olsem yu i disciples long Krais long ol love we i save long narapela!

Gospel long Defeat

But dat no bin happen long Corinth, was it? Olsem Gospel win, taim relationships kam ananuta presua, olsem ol our relationships must, ol i go bek long ol style bilong ol laip bilong ol na, na insted long Gospel win, olsem ol man i luksave grais i doim – transform ol pipel long wan group long likeness bilong Krais, olsem ol i go servis even long ol i no save gut ol narapela – insted long dat, ol i luksave ol pipel i tromoi lawsuit na dragim ol narapela i go long kot bilong man, ol i shame ol narapela na bringim Gospel i go long no good. Dat i defeat! Taim wol i go raun long yumi i go long tribalism na mutual suspicion na petty grievances na ol grievances i kamap long taim bilong no kwikim long feuds na settled grudges, taim wol i act olsem na pipel bilong God i pursue peace na reconciliation, olsem i no save gut ol narapela, forgiving ol narapela olsem God i Christ i forgiven ol, taim wol i luksave dat, dat i Gospel win.

Now, mi askim yumi, wol i luksave dat long yumi? Gospel win? O nogat, i luksave olsem defeat olsem yumi i go bek long ol style bilong self-defensive, prideful suspicious grudge-holding angry na bitter contention? “Yumi ought long shame yumi yet,” Paul i say, “taim olsem brata na sista yumi stil act olsem wol.” Krais i dai long yumi. I Spirits i live long yumi. I Word i direct yumi long step, na stil yumi pursue yumi petty complaints na yumi self-centered squabbles long ai bilong ol man i luksave. Wailik defeat. Wailik defeat. Olsem Paul i kol yumi long remember yumi future, yumi destiny – olsem yumi wan dei i go be na rol yumi i fulfill olsem judges long cosmos wantaim Krais i Chief Judge – na long live long lait bilong dat kamap destiny. Na i kol yumi long face up long olsem yumi i, long luksave olsem ol ting i no ken be.

Pasin bilong yumi long bak

Na i go long narapla, sapos yu luk wantaim mi long ol verse 9 long 11, em i remindim mi na yu long pasin bilong yumi – olsem wanem yumi become wen, long gras bilong God, Em i mekim yumi Kristian. Yumi go bek long ol verse 9 long 11, God i wail, next taim long lukim ol verse ia klostu, olsem, nau, laik yu justis long olsem Paul i remindim ol long wanem tru, wanem asples tru ol i forgetim. “Yu no save that ol manmeri nogut no go long kingdom bilong God?” verse 9. Dat i olsem Paul i diskrimbim ol manmeri i judisim, ol manmeri nogut i judisim ol Koresinthian i go long kot long ol, long verse 1, ol manmeri nogut. Na ia em i say, “Nau, laik mi soim yu destin bilong ol manmeri nogut.” Em i karakterisim ol long ol verse 9 long 10 long sin bilong ol. “No beglai: neither ol manmeri i no good long bodi, nor ol manmeri i lotu long ai, nor ol manmeri i no marit long meri nogut, nor ol manmeri i stilim man, nor ol stilim, nor ol manmeri i laikim mani, nor ol manmeri i dringim, nor ol manmeri i tok nogut, nor ol manmeri i giaman long narapla no go long kingdom bilong God.” Sins i eksklusim long kingdom bilong God; dat i olsem em i say. I tambu long lukim.

Be Who You Really Are!

Em i tambu i tok, “Na olsem ol i stap long yumi! Tasol yumi i waswas, yumi i holim moning, yumi i stretim long nem bilong Bikman Jesukrist na long Spirit bilong God i tambu.” “Korinth, em i stori tru olsem yumi i forgetim, olsem yumi i no save long tingting olsem, yumi i no save long olsem, yumi i save win. Na olsem yumi i live nau, em i no more defat, tasol em i save win, long taim yumi i save olsem. Em i stori tru! Yumi i forgetim olsem yumi i no more olsem bipo. Nau Jesukrist i kamap long laif bilong yumi long aut, olsem evri ting i chang. Yumi i no more define long laif bilong sin bipo.” Na Paul i lisim ol kain sin olsem define man. Tasol em i tok, “Nau yumi i kam long save Jesukrist, ol i no more define yumi. Em i no more olsem yumi i stap, Korinth. Yumi i waswas na klin na holim moning na stretim long ai bilong God long tribunal bilong heaven na rabin long stretpela righteousness bilong Jesukrist. Em i olsem yumi i stap nau, sapos yumi i biliver. Em i olsem yumi i stap! Taim i go we yumi i live olsem. Taim i go we yumi i stap olsem yumi i stap. Noken yumi i trouble long pait bilong sin long het bilong yumi, sapos yumi i kontinuim identify yumi long olsem yumi i bipo na no long olsem yumi i stap nau long Jesukrist. Remember yumi i nupela, stretpela identiti. Yumi i kam long Krest na olsem ol i go we na nupela i kamap. Yumi i nupela creation. Stap olsem yumi i stap!”

Yu Nupela Identiti long Krest

Em i tambu long yumi, em i tambu long yu, mi suspek, long dai dai conflict bilong yu, long dai dai struggle bilong livim life long glor bilong Krais na pursue praktikal holines. Planti man i lusim tempta long tingim, “Wat mi need em i ekstra dosis bilong supernatural power, moa juis long powerim enjin bilong soul bilong mi long helpim mi long obei. Samting moa! Samting nyu!” Dat i no counsel bilong Paul. Counsel bilong em i no long lukim samting nyu, samting ekstra. Counsel bilong em, raver, em i go bek long wat God i bin mekim olredi long yu long Jisas Krais, long understandim Gospel na yu nyu identiti long Em. Long kisim klar. Long stat long presim daun long ol pore na crack na crevice bilong laif bilong yu long spirit. Long letim i percolate ol wei tru na stat long livim long lait bilong en. No moa slave long sin. No moa master bilong ol laif. Pikinini bilong grase. Adapta long famili. Bipela nyu long Spirit bilong God. Klin na rait, no wit own rait bilong mi olsem tingting bilong Paul i no moa temta mi o causim mi long slip. Nogat, mi go inheritim kingdom, yu, biliver long Jisas, go inheritim kingdom, no long yu no fail, long yu i konto rait long Krais.

Na taim yu go long understandim olosem, wonder na jo bilong olosem i go long wokim na givim strong long han bilong yu long givim aisin long will bilong yu, sampela resolve, olosem yu i go long pursue obedience long King Jesus wantaim haat bilong jo. Yu i go long pres long taim relationship i go long bruk. Instead long pull back, yu i go long pursue reconciliation taim olsemting insait long yu i say long retreut back long wol way, long stand behain long barricade bilong yu na throw grenade long narapela man na wund na destroy narapela man. Nogat, taim yu go long understandim hua yu i really in Christ, yu i kam long servant long narapela man na pursue reconciliation. Olik dat i no go long defeat, no? Olik wol i luk long see hauw olsem Christian i behave long pres. Nogat, olosem i go long victory. Olik ol i luk long us, taim we i livim wantaim, ol i luk long ol difficult, clunky, awkward relationship ol pipel i no go long back off na withdraw, but hauw ol i pursue narapela man long lov bilong olosem i family na i one in Christ. Olik dat i go long victory tru. Wailik demonstration long power bilong Gospel.

Dat i olosem Paul i kolim yumi. Olik yumi i go long rememberim future bilong yumi – we yumi i go long nau yumi i Christian. Wan dei yumi i go long judegim wol, judegim angel. Yumi i go long olsem supreme court judej. Nau, yumi i long training. Yumi i save livim long knowim dat i go long be destiny bilong yumi. Yumi i go long face long present, long lukim ol area i taim yumi i livim long low ebb, long we i go long below new identity na standing bilong yumi. Long we i go long below laif bilong yumi i kol. Na yumi i go long repent. Na yumi i go long rememberim pas bilong yumi – wailik God i do long Christ long cross na long haat bilong yumi long Christ long Gospel, wokim yumi long nupela man. Na taim yumi i graspim, yumi i go long livim long lait bilong olosem, long be hua yumi i really. Bai Lord i givim yumi grase long doim olosem? Yumi i go long praitim wantaim.

O Papa bilong mipela, mipela i admitim taim bilong mipela we mipela i lusim ples long narapela save long Gospil, mipela i no luksave long tru identiti bilong mipela, mipela i stil livim olsem mipela i bin manmeri bilong bipo, no olsem mipela i manmeri nau long Krais. Yu no wailim mipela long livim laip i go we long privilij bilong mipela olsem pikinini bilong God, adoptim long gras bilong Yu, klinim na set apart long glori bilong Yu na justify long kot bilong heaven. Yu wailim mipela. Na long taim mipela i lukim bamameness bilong olsem Yu i mekim mipela i stap, Yu no wailim mipela na enable mipela long livim olsem mipela i tru manmeri? Long nem bilong Jisas, amen.
