THE GREAT
BLESSINGS OF ABIDING IN THE WILL OF GOD
(JOHN 15:1-16) “Abide in me, and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can
ye, except ye abide in me.
Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are]
the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
Panimula:
a. Abiding, abide – to stay, to dwell, to remain, to continue ro stay
b.Ang Panginoong Hesus ay naghahamon sa Kanyang mga alagad na sila ay
manatili sa Kanya. Alam na alam ng Panginoon na bilang Kristiyano ay may mga
problema tayong kakaharapin. Ang pinakamabuting lunas ay manatili at magpatuloy
sa tabi ng Panginoon sapagkat kung aasa sa sariling kakayanan ay wala silang
magagawa.
JOHN 15:5 “I am the vine, ye [are] the
branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Mga bagay na maaaring malunasan kung mananatili kay Cristo:
1. ABIDING IN CHRIST IS REST ASSURED GOD'S APPOVAL IN
CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT GENUILY CONNECTED WITH THE TRUE VINE JESUS CHRIST.
* God testify that we are connected to the true vine the Lord Jesus
Christ.
(John 15:1-2) [1]I am the true vine, and my
Father is the husbandman.
[2]Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
* God’s approval experience the working power of the Holy Spirit in
every individual life of the Christian.
* This approval is the evidence that we are saved and we have Jesus
Christ in our life and have eternal life because of Christ.
( 1 John 5:11-13 ) [11]And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
[12]He that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
[13]These things have I written
unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
2. ABIDING IN CHRIST MADE THE CHRISTIAN PURE AND CLEAN
BEFORE GOD.
JOHN 15:2 “Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.”
( John 15:3 ) Now ye are clean through the word
which I have spoken unto you.
* God desires to see the Christian to always walk in holiness.
1 Peter 1:15-16 [15]But as he which hath called
you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
[16]Because it is written, Be ye
holy; for I am holy.
* Christians should choose what is
right pure in the eyes of God.
( Philippians 4:8-9
) [8]Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
[9]Those things, which ye have
both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace
shall be with you.
Romans 12:1-2 [1]I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
[2]And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3. ABIDING IN CHRIST MADE THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN VERY
FRUITFUL.
( JOHN 15:5 ) “I am the vine, ye [are] the
branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
( John 15:8 ) Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
* God has chose us to have a fruitful Christian life.
John 15:16 [16]Ye have not chosen me, but I
have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you.
* God compare the Christian into a fruitful Palm tree.
( Psalms 92: 12-14 )
[12]The
righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in
Lebanon.
[13]Those that be planted in the
house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
[14]They shall still bring forth
fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
4. ABIDING IN CHRIST REST ASSURED PRAYER REQUEST OF THE CHRISTIAN
BE ANSWERED
JOHN 15:7 “If ye abide in me, and my words
abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
a. Ang Panginoong Hesus ang ating Tagapamagitan na magdadala ng lahat ng
ating panalangin sa sa Diyos.
JOHN 14:13 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
b. Nais ni Kristo na tayo ay manatili at magsipagbunga ng marami upang
anomang ating hingin sa Kanyang pangalan ay ibibigay ng Ama.
(John 15:16) Ye have not chosen me, but I have
chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you.
5. ABIDING CHRIST ASSURE THE HAPPY LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN.
( JOHN 15:10-11 ) “If ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide
in his love.
Jn 15:11 These things have I
spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be
full.”
a. Salamat sa dakilang pag-ibig ng Diyos na nagbibigay ng lubos na
kagalakan sa buhay natin bilang Kristiyano.
b. Ang pananatili kay Kristo ay susi ng masayang buhay Kristiyano.
c. Masarap na lagi nating mararanasan ang pag-ibig ng Diyos at magkaroon
ng kagalakan sa Kanya.
* Happy life of the Christian is always the fruit of the Holy Spirit in
the life of the Christian
( Galatians 5:22 ) But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
* The spiritual joy is experience of the Christian when Christian is
able to win lost people. Because even the angels in heaven are rejoicing before
God for one sinner repenteth their sin and be saved.
( Luke 15:3-7 ) [3]And he spake this parable unto
them, saying,
[4]What man of you, having an
hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in
the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
[5]And when he hath found it, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
[6]And when he cometh home, he
calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me;
for I have found my sheep which was lost.
[7]I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety
and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
* The Antioch Church are rejoicing when their soulwinning effort were so
fruitful.
( Acts 11:21-24 ) [21]And the hand of the Lord was
with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
[22]Then tidings of these things
came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth
Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
[23]Who, when he came, and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of
heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
[24]For he was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Pangwakas:
Ang pananatili kay Kristo ay totoong maraming lunas sa buhay natin
bilang Kristiyano. Tinatawag Niya tayong kaibigan at hindi na alipin dahil tayo
ay nanatili sa Kanya.
(John 15:15) Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called
you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
unto you.
[16]Ye have not chosen me, but I
have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye shouldf go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.
* God bless you all always *
