(Bakit mayroong labis na kagalakan sa langit para sa isang nagsisising makasalanan?)
LUKE 15:3-7 “And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Lk 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth
not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is
lost, until he find it?
Lk 15:5 And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders,
rejoicing.
Lk 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and
neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which
was lost.
Lk 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance.”
Introduction:
a.
The Lord Jesus
is the one who truly expresses great joy because of a sinner who has repented
of their sin and experienced the salvation of their souls.
b.
This lesson is
a challenge to all Christians so that we all care even for a soul that needs
the salvation of their soul.
Five (5)
important things to know about this topic:
I. BECAUSE GOD’S ENEMY THE DEVIL IS DEFEATED FOR A
SAVED SOUL
(Sapagkat
ang kaaway ng Diyos na diablo ay natalo para sa isang naligtas na kaluluwa )
ACTS 16:30-31 “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved?
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house.”
a. The devil is the worst enemy of God who blinds
many sinners so that they will not recognize Christ Jesus the Savior.
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.”
b. Satan has false prophets and false teachers to
deceive many.
2CORINTHIANS 11:13-16 “For such [are] false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light.
2Cor 11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
their works.
2Cor 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool
receive me, that I may boast myself a little.”
II. BECAUSE GOD’S PEOPLE FAITHFULLY OBEYED THE GREAT
COMMISSION
(Sapagkat
ang bayan ng Diyos ay matapat na sumunod sa dakilang komisyon.)
MARK 16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.”
a. The local church in Jerusalem was united in
evangelizing their community and truly many were saved.
ACTS 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and
the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.”
b. Paul is a good example of a faithful soulwinner.
1CORINTHIANS 9:19 “For though I be free from all [men],
yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.”
c. Philip was also a good example of a faithful soulwinner.
ACTS 8:5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
Christ unto them.”
d. Peter was a faithful soulwinner.
1PETER 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready
always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:”
III. BECAUSE GOD’S PEOPLE IN HEAVEN HAVE MULTIPLIED
(Sapagkat
ang bayan ng Diyos sa langit ay dumami)
HEBREWS 11:15-16 “And truly, if they had been mindful
of that [country] from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to
have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly:
wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for
them a city.”
a.
Every saved
soul becomes part of God's family in heaven.
JOHN 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:”
b.
Saved people
have their name written on the book of life.
LUKE 10:20 “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”
IV. BECAUSE GOD’S PLAN AND DESIRE FOR THE LOST WERE
FULFILLED
(Dahil
ang plano at nais ng Diyos para sa mga makasalanan ay natupad)
1TIMOTHY 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.”
a. God does not want anyone to perish in the place
of hell.
2PETER 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
b. Ang bawat makasalanan na ating naaakay ay
katunayan na sila ay inagaw na natin sa apoy sa impiyerno.
JUDE 23 “And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”
CONCLUSION:
Rejoicing in heaven because the local
church is truly blessed by God with full growth.
ACTS 6:7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of the
disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests
were obedient to the faith.”
ACTS 2:47 “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And
the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
▪GOD
BLESS YOU ALL▪
