(MGA MABUBUTING DAHILAN KUNG BAKIT PINIPILI NG KRISTIYANO SI KRISTO BILANG SENTRO NG KANILANG BUHAY)
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
PHILIPPIANS 1:21 “For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.”

Panimula:
a.     Hindi lahat ng Kristiyano pinipili si Kristo na sentro ng kanilang buhay. Mas pinipili nila ang sanlibutan kaya’t ang Diyos ay may babala sa kanila.
1JOHN 2:15 “Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

b.    Magandang huwaran si Pablo sa pagpili kay Kristo bilang sentro ng kanyang buhay Kristiyano.
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

TITUS 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

2Tim 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

4. BECAUSE CHRIST IS THE SOURCE OF OUR FRUITS IN CHRISTIAN LIFE
(Sapagkat si Kristo ang pinanggagalingan ng ating mga bunga sa buhay Kristiyano)
JOHN 15:8 “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”

a.     Ang Diyos ay naluluwalhati sa mabungang Kristiyano.
b.    Tinatawag ng Diyos na kaibigan ang mabungang Kristiyano at hindi na alipin.
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.”

c.      Pangako ng Diyos na sasagutin ang panalangin ng mabungang Kristiyano.
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.”

(Sapagkat si Kristo ang pinangagalingan ng ating espiritwal ng pagtatagumpay sa buhay Kristiyano)

a.     Ang pagtatagumpay sa lahat ng tukso ay posible sa buhay ng Kristiyano.
1CORINTHIANS 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].”

b.    Ang pagtatagumpay sa paglilingkod sa Diyos na may katapatan ay posible sa buhay ng Kristiyano.
1TIMOTHY 1:12 “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”

c.      Ang pagtatagumpay na mamuhay nang may kabanalan ay posible sa buhay ng Kristiyano.
1PETER 2:21-22 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:”

Pangwakas:
Mahalaga na piliin ng Kristiyano kung sino ang sentro ng kanyang buhay sapagkat Siya lamang ang pinagmumulan ng ating kalakasang espiritwal at pagtatagumpay.
1CORINTHIANS 15:57 “But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
