BEGIN MET DIE GEES

Wat is die stupidste ding wat jy mense ooit al sien doen het. Science of stupid

Hoe voel jy wanneer iemand jou teregwys. Sarkasties is?

Wat sou U sê, en doen, as ek vanmore sou sê, Julle is ‘n klomp onnosele onverstandige mense

Flattery is not friendship. says, “Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy” (nlt). Paul was being a true spiritual friend to the Galatians when he essentially said, “O you dear idiots of Galatia … surely you can’t be so idiotic” (Phillips).[1]

In die boek Galasiërs praat Paulus 18 keer van die Heilige Gees

(Afrikaanse Ou Vertaling)

3 Is julle so onverstandig? Nadat julle met die Gees begin het, eindig julle nou met die vlees?

Dit is die tragiese einde van ’n goeie begin. Hulle was besig om weg te val van die krag van die Gees tot die hulpeloosheid van die mens. [2]

(NIV84)

3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

(The Message)

3 Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren’t smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it?

The present tense of the verb here indicates that the Galatians had already begun this attempt.

Paul says in effect, “How foolish to think that you can bring yourselves to a state of spiritual maturity in your Christian lives. That is the work of the Spirit. Only He can do that for you.”

Seaborn Beck Weathers told BBC, “If you don’t have anyone who cares about you or is dependent on you, if you have no friends or colleagues, and if you’re willing to put a single round in the chamber of a revolver and put it in your mouth and pull the trigger, then yeah, it’s a pretty good idea to climb Everest.”

Galasiërs is in die moeilikheid, en ons ook.

Dit is ‘n gemeente wat in die moeilikheid is. Ons ook. Kan jy vir ‘n oomblik dink watter verskil die heilige Gees wat God is, in jou lewe kan maak hier en nou. Hierdie gemeente het soos ons ook hulle onderskeidings vermoë verloor. Hulle sensitiwiteit vir die werking van God

DIE KLAG IS ONVERSTANDIGHEID

He finds it difficult to believe that the Galatians can be that foolish (compare Phps “Surely you can’t be so idiotic”; NEB “Can it be that you are so stupid?”). In place of an exclamatory question How can you be so foolish!, it may be necessary in some languages to use a strong negative expression, for example, “You surely cannot be so foolish!” or, idiomatically, “Certainly your minds must not have left you so completely!”[3]

WAT IS DIE PROBLEEM?

Warren Wiersbe stel dit so: Christians today need the truth of v. 3, for many feel that the same Spirit who saved them is not able to keep them or help them live for Christ. They have the idea that salvation is by grace through faith, but that living the Christian life depends on their own strength. How wrong this is! teaches clearly that believers

DIE ROL VAN DIE HEILIGE GEES

The Holy Spirit is not the goal of the Christian life but is its source. He is not the product of faithful living but is the power behind it. A higher level of living does not bring the Holy Spirit; rather submission to the Holy Spirit, who already indwells the believer, includes a higher level of living

who already indwells the believer, includes a higher level of living

a) The first thing that God the Holy Spirit does in the soul is to regenerate it.

b) The next thing is to teach the soul that it is utterly incapable of saving itself.

c) The Holy Spirit next applies the blood of Jesus to the soul, gives the soul the grace of faith whereby it lays hold of Jesus, and gives it an anointing of holy consolation and unction of assurance—whereby, casting itself wholly on the blood and righteousness of Jesus, it receives joy, knows itself to be saved, and rejoices in pardon.

d) When the sinner has thus believed, then the Holy Spirit brings all the precious things to him: the blood of Jesus, the righteousness of Jesus, the covenant of adoption.

e) But I cannot rejoice in my adoption until I receive the spirit of adoption, whereby I may be able to cry, “Abba, Father.”

f) So you see, every point that is brought out in the experience of the newborn Christian—every point in that part of

salvation that we may call its beginning in the soul—has to do with God the Holy Spirit.

Handelinge 1:7-8

’n Ander keer het een van die apostels vir Jesus gevra: “Here, sê asseblief vir ons, gaan U Israel nou weer tot sy vorige glorie herstel, soos in die dae toe ons nog ons eie koning gehad het?”

asseblief vir ons, gaan U Israel nou weer tot sy vorige glorie

herstel, soos in die dae toe ons nog ons eie koning gehad het?”

Daarop het Jesus geantwoord: “Dit is vir God om oor hierdie dinge te besluit, nie vir julle nie. “Al wat julle hoef te weet, is dat God met sy groot krag in julle lewe sal werk wanneer die Heilige Gees na julle toe kom.
