Mga dakilang bagay na winakasan ni Kristo sa buhay ng Kristiyano para sa mabungang paglilingkod:

1. CHRIST SETTLED OUR FEAR FROM SIN JUDGMENT

(Winakasan na ni Kristo ang ating takot mula sa kahatulan ng kasalanan)

ROMANS 8:33-34 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? [It is] God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”

a.     Winakasan na ni Kristo ang kahatulan ng kasalanan sa krus ng Kalbaryo. Si Kristo mismo ang tumanggap ng ating hatol.

ROMANS 5:8-9 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”

JOHN 19:30 “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

b.    Nagpapatotoo mismo ang Diyos na tayong mananampalataya kay Kristo ay inaring ganap na at wala na tayong dapat katakutan pa sa impiyerno.

ROMANS 8:1 “[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

c.      Pinagkalooban na tayo ng buhay na walang hanggan at hindi na papasok pa sa paghatol.

JOHN 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

(Winakasan na ni Kristo ang takot sa kamatayan)

1CORINTHIANS 15:55-56 “O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?
1Cor 15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.”

                                                        

a.     Para sa Kristiyano hindi na dapat katakutan ang kamatayan sapagkat pinagtagumpayan na ito ni Kristo. Tayo ngayon ay may pangakong buhay na walang hanggan.

JOHN 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

b.    Naging pintuan ang pisikal na kamatayan upang makapiling ang Diyos sa langit.

2CORINTHIANS 5:8 “We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”

c.      Pakinabang ang kamatayan sabi ng Salita ng Diyos para sa Kristiyano.

3. CHRIST SETTLED OUR FEAR OF OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL

(Winakasan na ni Kristo ang takot sa ating kaaway na diyablo)

HEBREWS 2:14 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”

a.     Tinalo at winakasan na ni Kristo ang kapangyarihan ng diyablo nang Siya ay namatay sa krus ng Kalbaryo.

b.    Hindi na anak ng diyablo ang bawat nanampalataya kay Kristo at hindi na alipin ng kasalanan kundi anak na tayo ng Diyos.

JOHN 1:12 “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:”

c.      Ang Kristiyano ay hindi na anak ng pagsuway at hindi na rin anak ng kagalitan.

EPHESIANS 2:2-3 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”

4. CHRIST SETTLED OUR FEAR OF LACK OF REWARD, BLESSINGS AND VICTORY

(Winakasan na ni Kristo ang takot sa walang gantimpala, mga pagpapala at pagtatagumpay)
