Kristo.

to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.”

a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”

joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
a.
Laging humaharap ang Kristiyano sa iba’t-ibang
mabibigat na pagsubok at kahirapan sa araw-araw na buhay. Kailangan lang nating
tumingin kay Kristo na Siyang gumagawa at sumasakdal sa ating pananampalataya.
Þ
Sa panahon na may mabigat na pagsubok,
tumingin tayo paitaas kay Kristo.
1PETER 1:7
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”
Þ
Sa panahon na may mabigat na problema
na halos mawalan na ng pag-asa sa buhay, kailangan lang natin tumingin paitaas kay
Kristo.
2CORINTHIANS 1:4-10 “Who comforteth us in all our
tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by
the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Cor 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2Cor 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.
2Cor 1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
2Cor 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
2Cor 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];”

2Cor 1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
2Cor 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

2Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];”
Þ
Sa panahon na may mabigat na pag-uusig mula
sa ating kaaway at sa sanlibutan, kailangan lang natin tumingin paitaas at
hingin ang saklolo ni Kristo.

pananabik kay Kristo sa pang-araw-araw na batayan ng buhay)
PHILIPPIANS 3:7-8 “But what things were gain to me, those I
counted loss for Christ.
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,”

if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.”

buhay sapagkat inibig Niya tayo at ibinigay ang Kanyang buhay sa atin.
GALATIANS 2:20
“I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in
