HOW DO WE
KNOW IF THE WORLD IS STILL SPIRITUALLY BLIND BEFORE GOD?
(Paano natin malalaman kung ang mundo ay bulag
pa rin espirituwal sa harap ng Diyos?)
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.”
LUKE 6:39 “And he spake a
parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into
the ditch?”
Panimula:
a. Maliwanag
na sinasabi sa Salita ng Diyos na ang sanlibutang ito ay walang Kristo, walang
pangako ng Diyos, walang pag-asa at walang Diyos.
EPHESIANS 2:12 “That at that
time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the
world:”
b. Totoong
bulag espiritwal ang sanlibutang ito at patuloy sa buhay na naliligaw at
mapapahamak sa walang hanggang kahatulan sa lugar ng impiyerno.
REVELATION 21:8 “But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Mga katunayan na ang
sanlibutang ito ay totoong bulag pa rin espiritwal:
1. BECAUSE THE WORLD IS
STILL LOST BEFORE GOD
(Sapagkat ang mundo ay makasalanan pa rin sa harap
ng Diyos)
LUKE 19:10 “For the Son of
man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
a. Si
Hesus ay bumaba sa lupa upang hanapin at iligtas ang nawawala at naliligaw
espiritwal.
b. Ang
kapwa bulag sa sanlibutang ito ay hindi masusumpungan ang daan ng buhay na
walang hanggan sapagkat sila ay parehong bulag.
LUKE 6:39 “And he spake a
parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into
the ditch?”
2. BECAUSE THE WORLD STILL
LACKS THE SPIRITUAL CAPABILITY TO LIVE WHAT IS RIGHT BEFORE GOD
(Sapagkat ang mundo ay kulang pa rin sa espirituwal
na kakayahan upang mabuhay kung ano ang tama sa harap ng Diyos)
EPHESIANS 2:1-3 “And you [hath
he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in
the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath, even as others.”
a. Ang
bawat makasalanan ay patay espiritwal sabi ng Bibliya kaya patuloy sila sa
paggawa ng kasalanan.
b. Tinawag
ng Diyos ang mga makasalanan na mga anak ng kagalitan at anak ng pagsuway.
3. BECAUSE THE WORLD
STILL LOVES THE THINGS OF THE WORLD
(Dahil mahal pa rin ng mundo ang mga bagay ng mundo)
MARK 8:36 “For what shall
it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
a. Ang
mayamang ito ay isang halimbawa ng taong pinahalagahan ang mga bagay sa
sanlibutan.
LUKE 12:19-20 “And I will say
to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease,
eat, drink, [and] be merry.
Lk 12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?”
b. Mas
mahirap sa mayaman ang piliin ang magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan at
iwanan ang kanyang 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.”
4. BECAUSE THE WORLD IS STILL WORKING FOR HOPE IN THEIR OWN WAY OF
SALVATION
(Sapagkat ang mundo ay nagtatrabaho pa rin
para sa pag-asa sa kanilang sariling paraan ng kaligtasan.)
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.”
a. Ang
kanilang paraan ay sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran at hindi sa katuwiran
at paraan 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.”
b. Ang
kanilang paraan ay sa pagiging masipag sa paglilingkod sa kanilang relihiyon.
MATTHEW 7:21-23 “Not every one
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
Mt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.”
Pangwakas:
Ito ang mga palatandaan na ang
mga taga-sanlibutan ay hiwalay pa kay Kristo, walang pangako, walang pag-asa at
walang Diyos sa sanlibutan.
EPHESIANS 2:12 “That at that
time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the
world:”
Pagpalain kayong lahat ng
Diyos.
