[B] [PREACHING LESSON 1:] THE GOD OF FAITH OF THE CHRISTIANS

(ANG DIYOS NG PANANAMPALATAYA NG MGA KRISTIYANO)

HEBREWS 11:1-6 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Heb 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Panimula:
a.     Mahalagang maunawaan ng Kristiyano ang tungkol sa pananampalatayang Kristiyano at ang Diyos ng ating pananampalataya.
b.    Ang dakilang lingkod ng Diyos ay nagsitagumpay sa kanilang buhay Kristiyano nang dahil sa pananampalataya nila sa Diyos.
HEBREWS 11:32-34 “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:
Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”
c.      Ang hamon ng Diyos sa bawat Kristiyano ay lumakad tayo sa pananampalataya at hindi sa pamamagitan ng paningin.
2CORINTHIANS 5:7 “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”

Apat (4) na mahahalagang dapat maunawaan sa Diyos ng pananampalataya:

1. GOD IS BIGGER THAN THE FAITH OF THE CHRISTIANS
 (Ang Diyos ay mas malaki sa pananampalataya ng Kritiyano)
LUKE 17:5-6 “And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
Lk 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.”

a.     “At sinabi ng mga apostol sa Panginoon, Dagdagan mo ang pananampalataya namin.”
b.    Mas malaki ang Diyos sa pananampalataya ng Kristiyano sapagkat sa Diyos tayo nanghihingi ng dagdag na pananampalataya.
c.      Ang Panginoong Hesus din ang nag-utos sa Kaniyang mga disipulo na magkaroon ng pananampalataya sa Diyos.
MARK 11:22 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.”

2. GOD IS BETTER THAN THE FAITH OF THE CHRISTIANS
(Ang Diyos ay mas mabuti kaysa pananampalataya ng Kristiyano)
GENESIS 22:1 “And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].”

a.     Mas mabuti ang Diyos kaysa sa pananampalatayang Kristiyano dahil Siya ang sumusuri at sumusubok ng pananampalataya natin sa Kanya.
Þ   Sinubok ng Diyos ang pananampalataya ni Abraham.
b.    Ang Diyos din ang sumusukat at sumusuri sa pananampalataya ng Kristiyano sa oras ng pagsubok.
1PETER 1:7 “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”
c.      Ang Diyos din ang sumukat sa pananampalataya ni Abel at Cain at tinanggap Niya ang handog ni Abel dahil sa pananampalataya.
HEBREWS 11:4 “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”

3. GOD BUILDS THE FAITH OF THE CHRISTIANS
(Ang Diyos ang nagtatatag ng pananampalataya ng Kristiyano)
ROMANS 10:17 “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

a.     Ang susi ng Diyos para dagdagan at patatagin ang pananampalataya ng Kristiyano ay sa pamamagitan ng pakikinig at pakikinig ng Salita ng Diyos.
b.    Dinadagdagan ng Diyos ang pananampalataya ng Kristiyano ng mga dakilang pag-uugali at kaaalaman ni Kristo.
2PETER 1:5-7 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Pet 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2Pet 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.”
c.      Ang pagkadagdag sa pananampalataya ng Kristiyano ay upang ang ating buhay Kristiyano ay magsipagbunga.
2PETER 1:8-9 “For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pet 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”

4. GOD BLESSES THE STRONG FAITH OF THE CHRISTIANS
 (Ang Diyos ang nagpapala nang malakas at malaking pananampalataya ng Kristiyano)
GENESIS 22:15-18 “And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son]:
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”

a.     Pagkatapos ng pagsubok na ibinigay ng Diyos kay Abraham ay pinagpala siya nang masaganang pagpapala.
GENESIS 22:18 “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”

b.    Pinagpala ng Diyos ang buhay ni Job pagkatapos ng mahigpit na pagsubok sa kanyang buhay.
JOB 42:12 “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.”

c.      Pagpapalain ng Diyos ang bawat Kristiyanong naging matatag ang kanilang pananampalataya sa Diyos pagkatapos nang mahigpit na pagsubok sa kanilang pananampalataya.
1PETER 1:7 “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”
1PETER 5:10 “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].”

Pangwakas:
Mahalagang maunawaan ng Kristiyano kung sino ang Diyos ng ating pananampalataya sapagkat sa Kanya nanggagaling ang ating pananampalataya. Siya rin ang nagpapatatag ng ating pananampalataya at nagpapala ng masaganang pagpapala.
GENESIS 22:17-18 “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
