SELF – AN
ADVERSARY OF THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIER
(SARILI – KALABAN NG KRISTIYANONG KAWAL)
ROMANS 7:14-25 “For
we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”
Panimula:
a.
Isang matapat na patotoo ni Pablo na ang
mahigpit na kalaban niya sa buhay Kristiyano ay hindi ang nasa labas o nasa kamunduhan
o ang diyablo kundi mismo ang kaniyang sarili.
ROMANS 7:20 “Now if I do that I would not, it
is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.”
Mga bagay na dapat bantayan sa ating
sarili:
1. BEWARE OF
THE CONFIDENCE OF THE FLESH
(MAG-INGAT NA HUWAG
MAGTIWALA SA ATING LAMAN O KATAWAN)
PHILIPIANS 3:3 “For we are the circumcision, which
worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence
in the flesh.”
a.
May mahigpit na paalala o babala si
Pablo sa mga Kristiyano na huwag magtiwala sa laman o sa ating sariling
kakayanan.
b.
Mas mabuti na ang mga Kristiyano ay
magtiwala sa kalakasan ng ating Panginoon.
EPHESIANS 6:10 “Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
Ø Isang mahigpit
na paalala ng Diyos na kung labis na pinagpapala at pinayayaman ay huwag magtiwala
sa kanilang mga sarili.
c.
Kaya malakas ang loob ni Pablo na
sabihing ang isang talata.
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.”
Ø Sapagkat hindi siya nagtiwala sa kaniyang sariling
lakas kundi kay Kristong nagpapalakas sa kaniya.
2. BEWARE OF
THE CONTENT OF THE FLESH
(MAG-INGAT NA HUWAG NA MASIYAHAN SA NASA NG
LAMAN O KATAWAN)
ROMANS 7:18 “For I know that in me (that is, in my
flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to
perform that which is good I find not.”
a.
Ang pita ng laman ay hindi nagnanasa ng
mga bagay na espiritwal. Ang gusto lamang nito ay mga bagay sa laman at
kasalanan.
ROMANS 8:5-6 “For they that are after the flesh do
mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of
the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.”
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.”
b. Ang lahat ng pita ng laman ay pakikipag-away sa Diyos.
ROMANS 8:7 “Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”
c.
Isang patotoo ni Pablo na sa ating
katawan ay walang tumitirang mabuting bagay.
ROMANS 7:18”For
I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will
is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.”
3. BEWARE OF THE
CONTROL OF THE FLESH
(MAG-INGAT NA HUWAG TAYONG MA-KONTROL NG ATING
LAMAN O KATAWAN)
ROMANS 6:13 “Neither yield ye your members [as]
instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as
those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of
righteousness unto God.”
a. Ngayong tayo ay Kristiyano na, hindi na ang ating sariling kakayanan ang
ating pinagkakatiwalaan.
b. Natutunan ni Pablo na disiplinahin ang kaniyang sarili upang maging mapagtagumpay
sa Diyos sa kaniyang buhay.
1CORINTHIANS 9:27 “But I keep under my body, and bring [it]
into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I
myself should be a castaway.”
c.
Laging tandaan na ang pita ng laman ay
laging magnanasa ng laman. Kung kaya ating asahan na laging may pipigil sa atin
na gawin ang kalooban ng Diyos sa ating buhay.
GALATIANS 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
4. BEWARE OF
THE CARELESSNESS OF THE FLESH
(MAG-INGAT SA MGA MASASAMANG GAWAIN NG LAMAN)
ROMANS 13:14 “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].”
a. Ang laman ay laging mahihila ng nasa ng laman kaya marapat lamang na
maging maingat sa ating pang araw-araw na pamumuhay sa mundong madilim, marumi
at masama.
b. Mga epektibong bagay na gagawin upang hindi masunod ang nasa ng laman:
1. Dapat na lumakad ayon sa Espiritu ang Kristiyano upang hindi masunod ang
nasa ng laman.
GALATIANS 5:16,
25 “[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
2. Dapat na mamuhay sa kabanalan ang Kristiyano sa lahat ng uri ng kaniyang
pamumuhay.
1PETER 1:15 “But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”
3. Dapat sumasagana ang Kristiyano sa paglilingkod sa Diyos upang walang
dahilan ang laman na magnasa ng laman.
1CORINTHIANS15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Pangwakas:
Magtatagumpay sa nasa ng laman ang mga kawal ng
Diyos.
2TIMOTHY 4:7 “I have fought a good fight, I have
finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:”
