[E] [PREACHING LESSON 19:] WHY THE CHURCH IS THE APPLE OF THE EYE OF GOD?


(BAKIT KINALULUGDAN NG MATA NG DIYOS ANG IGLESYA LOKAL?)
DEUTERONOMY 32:9-10 “For the Lord’s portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance.
Deut 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.”

Panimula:
a.     Ang mga taong ito na nabanggit na kinaluluguran ng mata ng Diyos ay ang bayan ng Israel. Ito ay naglalarawan din sa mga Kristiyano sa iglesya lokal.
b.    May mga dahilan kung bakit nalulugod ang Diyos sa mga Kristiyano sa iglesya lokal ayon sa Banal na Kasulatan.
1PETER 2:9-10 “But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1Pet 2:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

Mga kadahilanan kung bakit kinalulugdan ng Diyos ang mga Kristiyano sa iglesya lokal:
                                                                                                                                             
1. BECAUSE THEY WERE BOUGHT BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Sapagkat sila ay binili ng mahalagang dugo ng Panginoong Hesu-Kristo)
ACTS 20:28 “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
     
a.     Kaya masasabi nating kinalulugdan tayo ng mata ng Diyos dahil sa Kanyang banal na dugo.
Þ   Kaya umaawit tayo ng “Ako’y ligtas sa dugo ni Hesus”.
     
b.    Kaya masasabi natin na ang Kristiyano ay totoong mga taong ligtas at may pangako na 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.”

c.      Kaya masasabi natin na ang iglesya lokal ay ligtas dahil sa banal na dugo ni Hesus.
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.”

2. BECAUSE THEY WERE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD
(Sapagkat sila ay tinawag na mga anak ng Diyos)
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.”

a.     Ang Kristiyano ay kabilang na sa pamilya ng Diyos sa langit. Hindi nahihiya ang Diyos na tawagin Siyang Ama ng Kanyang mga anak sa langit.
HEBREWS 11:16 “But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”

b.    May kalayaan ang mga Kristiyano na lumapit sa Diyos sa pananalangin. Ito ay isang pribeliheyo na sagutin ng Diyos ang ating panalangin.
ROMANS 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

c.      Sapagkat tayo ay tinawag na mga anak ng kaliwanagan at hindi na ng kadiliman.
1THESSALONIANS 5:5 “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”

3. BECAUSE THEY WERE CALLED THE CO-LABORER OF GOD
 (Sapagkat sila ay tinawag na kamanggagawa ng Diyos)
 1CORINTHIANS 3:9 “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.”

a.     Bilang kamanggagawa, sinugo tayo ni Hesus sa buong mundo upang ipalaganap ang ebanghelyo ni Kristo.
MATTHEW 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”

b.    Pangako ng Diyos na hindi mawawalan ng kabuluhan ang lahat ng ipinaglilingkod ng mga kamanggagawa Niya.
1CORINTHIANS 15:58 “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.”

4. BECAUSE THEY WERE CALLED THE PEOPLE OF GOD
(Sapagkat sila ay tinawag na bayan ng Diyos)
1PETER 2:9-10 “But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1Pet 2:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

a.     Tayo ay tinawag na lahing hinirang ng Diyos dahil sa pagtanggap natin kay Kristo bilang Panginoon at Tagapagligtas.
b.    Kamanghamangha ang pagkatawag sa atin ng Diyos. Ito ang naging dahilan kung bakit kinaluluguran tayo ng mga mata ng Diyos.
c.      May malaking dahilan kung bakit kinaluluguran tayo ng mga mata ng Diyos. May dakilang gawain ang Kristiyano. Ito ay ang ipahayag ang mga karangalan niyaong tumawag sa atin mula sa kadiliman hanggang sa kanyang kagilagilalas na kaliwanagan.

Pangwakas:
Ang Kristiyano sa iglesya lokal ay kinaluluguran ng mga mata ng Diyos ayon sa Banal na Kasulatan.
DEUTERONOMY 32:10 “He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.”
