(BAKIT ANG KRISTIYANO AY DAPAT LAGING
TULOY-TULOY SA PAMUMUHAY KRISTIYANO)
1CORINTHIANS 9:24-26 “Know ye not that they which run in a
race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Cor 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Cor 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”

Panimula:
Ang Salita ng Diyos ang maliwanag na
nagbibigay ng dahilan kung bakit dapat lamang ang Kristiyano ay laging tuloy-tuloy
sa pamumuhay Kristiyano.
Limang (5) mahahalagang katotohanan na
dapat maunawaan:
1. CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS DESIGNED INTO A SPIRITUAL RACE
(Ang buhay Kristiyano ay inihalintulad ng
Diyos sa espiritwal na takbuhin)
1CORINTHIANS
9:24 “Know
ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So
run, that ye may obtain.”
a. Ang bawat naging Kristiyano ay kasama na sa espiritwal na takbuhin kaya
dapat ay laging handa sa pagtakbo.
b. Ang bawat tatakbo at makakatapos sa pagtakbo ay may nakalaang putong o
gantimpala.

1Cor 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”
2. CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS DESIGNED TO BE LIKE A SPIRITUAL BIRTH AND NEED TO GROW
(Ang buhay
ng Kristiyano ay katulad ng espiritwal na kapanganakan na kailangang lumaki at
lumago.)
JOHN 1:12-13 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Jn 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
1PETER 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere
milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
a.
Ang buhay Kristiyano ay kapanganakang
espiritwal na nangangailangan ng espiritwal na gatas, ang Salita ng Diyos.
MATTHEW 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
b.
Mahalaga ang pagpapatuloy sa buhay
Kristiyano upang maging guro ang batang Kristiyano.
HEBREWS 5:12-14 “For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
strong meat.
Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
c.
Ang bawat nagka-edad o lumagong
Kristiyano ay kumakain ng matigas na pagkaing espiritwal.
3. CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS DESIGNED TO BE A SPIRITUAL SOLDIER
(Ang buhay
Kristiyano ay inihalintulad sa espiritwal na sundalo ng Diyos)
2TIMOTHY 2:3-4 “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a
good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Tim 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
2Tim 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
a. Ang sundalo ng Diyos ay malakas espiritwal upang gumanap ng mahalagang gawain
ng Diyos.
2TIMOTHY 2:1 “Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
b. Ang sundalo ng Diyos ay dapat masumpungan na matapat na katiwala ng
Diyos.
2TIMOTHY 2:2-4
“And
the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Tim 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Tim 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
2Tim 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Tim 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
4. CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS DESIGNED TO BE SPIRITUAL FARMERS AND LABORERS OF THE LORD
(Ang buhay Kristiyano ay
inihalintulad sa mga tagapag-ani o manggagawa ng Diyos)
LUKE 10:1-2 “After these things the Lord appointed
other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city
and place, whither he himself would come.
Lk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”
Lk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”
a.
Maraming tagapag-ani o manggagawa ang
sinanay ni Hesus. Pitumpu silang lahat.
b.
Ngunit ito’y kulang pa dahil inuutusan
ni Hesus ang mga alagad na manalangin pa ng mga mang-aani o manggagawa.
5. CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS DESIGNED LIKE A SPIRITUAL COURSE
(Ang buhay Kristiyano ay katulad
sa espiritwal na kurso)
2TIMOTHY 4:7 “I have fought a good fight, I have
finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:”
a.
Ang espiritwal na kurso ay katulad ng
kolehiyong kurso na nagsisimula na pag-aralan at handa rin namang tapusin.
b.
Si Pablo ay nagpapatotoo na siya ay
nagsikap na makipagbaka sa kanyang kurso espiritwal at kanya ring tinapos ito.
Pangwakas:
Nais ng Diyos na maunawaan natin na ang buhay
Kristiyano ay katulad ng mananakbo na dapat magpatuloy tumakbo hanggang siya’y
matapos sa dulo ng kanyang espiritwal na takbuhin. Ito’y katulad din sa
ipinanganak espiritwal na kinakailangang lumago at tumatag sa kanilang buhay
Kristiyano.
