(Mga bagay na kumokontrol
sa mga makasalanan na pumipigil sa kanila upang maligtas)
1THESSALONIANS
2:18 “Wherefore
we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.”
Panimula:
a.
Maliwanag
na itinuturo ng Salita ng Diyos na may mga bagay na pumipigil upang mahadlangan
ang mga makasalanan na maligtas. Madalas, ito rin ang dahilan na ang mga
Kristiyano ay mahadlangan sa pag-aakay ng maraming kaluluwa.
b.
Ito
ay malungkot na katotohanan na mas marami ang tutungo sa impiyerno kaysa
tutungo sa langit.
MATTHEW 7:13-14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
[is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:
Mt 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Mt 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Apat (4) na bagay na pumipigil sa mga makasalanan
upang sila ay hindi maligtas:
1.
THE TEMPTER CONTROLS THEM
(Kinokontrol
sila ng manunukso)
MATTHEW 4:1 “Then
was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. “
a.
Ang diyablo na si Satanas ang tinatawag
ng Banal na Kasulatan na manunukso. Siya ay laging nagdudumali na hadlangan ang
mga makasalanan na maligtas.
b.
Dinaya at nilinlang ni Satanas si Adan
at si Eba upang suwayin ang Diyos.
GENESIS 3:1-5 “Now the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? a
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
c.
Si Satanas ang ama ng makasalanan. Siya
ang bumulag sa mga pag-iisip ng mga makasalanan upang huwag sumilang ang
kaliwanagan ng ebanghelyo sa kanilang puso.
2CORINTHIANS 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
d.
Si Satanas din ang laging humahadlang
sa mga Kristiyano upang huwag silang mag-akay ng mga kaluluwa kay Kristo.
1THESSALONIANS 2:18 “Wherefore we would have come unto you,
even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.”
2. THE TRADITION OF MEN CONTROLS THEM
(Kinokontrol sila ng tradisyon ng mga tao)
COLOSSIANS 2:8 “Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
a.
Nagbigay si Pablo ng mahigpit na babala
upang ang mga makasalanan ay huwag madaya ng mga pilosopiya at mga salit-salin
na kasabihan ng mga tao.
b.
Ito ang sinasabi ni Pablo na may
pagmamalasakit sa Diyos datapuwat hindi ayon sa katotohanan ng Salita ng Diyos.
ROMANS 10:2-3 “For I bear them record that they have a
zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
c.
Nakita ni Pablo sa kanyang panahon na
walang pagkakaiba sa ating panahon na sila ay sumasamba sa diyos-diyosan na
gawa ng mga kamay ng tao.
ACTS 17:23-30 “For as I passed by, and beheld your
devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom
therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”

3.
THE TREASURE CONTROLS THEM
(Kinokontrol sila ng
kayamanan)
LUKE 18:18-23 “And a certain ruler asked him, saying,
Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Lk 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
Lk 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Lk 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Lk 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Lk 18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.”
Lk 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
Lk 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Lk 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Lk 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Lk 18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.”
a.
Ang isang binatang mayaman ay nagtanong
kay Hesus kung papaano ang magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan ngunit ang kanyang
kayamanan ay pinigilan siya upang hindi siya maligtas.
b.
Tinawag ng Diyos na hangal o mangmang ang
taong mayaman na ito dahil ang kayamanan niya ang pumigil sa kanya upang
maligtas.
4. THE THINGS IN THE WORLD
CONTROLS THEM
(Kinokontrol
sila ng mga bagay ng sanlibutan)
JAMES 4:13-14 “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to
morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and
sell, and get gain:
Jas 4:14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
Jas 4:14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
a.
Ang kanilang mga pangarap na makamtan
ang tagumpay sa sanlibutan ang nagiging hadlang upang sila ay maligtas.
b.
Ang pag-ibig sa sanlibutan ay totoong
hadlang sa mga makasalanan upang sila ay maligtas.
1JOHN 2:15-16 “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.
1Jn 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
1Jn 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
Pangwakas:
Maraming bagay ang pumipigil sa mga
makasalanan upang sila ay mangaligtas. Kaya dapat lamang ang Kristiyano ay
lalong maging mapagmahal sa mga kaluluwa upang ating malabanan ang mga
pumipigil na ito para sila mangaligtas.
2CORINTHIANS
5:14 “For
the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for
all, then were all dead:”
Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
