[E] [PREACHING LESSON 20:] THE KIND OF CHURCH THAT IS CLOSE TO THE HEART OF GOD


(URI NG IGLESYA NA MALAPIT SA PUSO NG PANGINOON)
JOHN 15:13-16 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Jn 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Jn 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.
Jn 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.”

b.    Nagpapatotoo si Haring David na ang Salita ng Diyos ay mas mahalaga pa kaysa sa libo-libong ginto at bulak.
PSALMS 119:72 “The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.”

3. THE CHRISTIAN WHO LOVES THE CHURCH OF GOD
(Ang Kristiyanong nagmamahal sa iglesya ng Diyos)
EPHESIANS 5:25 “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”

a.     Si Kristo Hesus ang ating unang huwaran ng pagmamahal sa iglesya.
b.    Ang katunayan ng pagmamahal ni Hesus sa Kanyang iglesya ay nang binili Niya tayo ng Kanyang sariling dugo.
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.”

(Ang Kristiyanong nagmamahal sa kaluluwa)
ROMANS 10:1 “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”

a.     Magandang huwaran si Pablo sa pagiging mapagmahal sa kaluluwa ng mga hindi pa ligtas.

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.”
