THE
CHRISTIAN WHO ALWAYS PLEASES GOD WITHIN THE LOCAL CHURCH
(Ang
Kristiyano na laging nakalulugod sa Diyos sa loob ng lokal na simbahan)
COLOSSIANS 1:10 “That ye
might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good
work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
Introduction:
a.
Magandang malaman na kung tayo, tulad ng iglesya sa
Colosas, ay lumalakad nang karapat-dapat sa Panginoon at nagbibigay-lugod sa
Kanya sa lahat ng bagay, tayo ang uri ng mga Kristiyano na nais makita ng Diyos
sa loob ng lokal na simbahan.
b.
Si Pablo ay nagbigay ng isang kahanga-hangang pagpupuri
sa mga tapat na Kristiyano sa Roma.
ROMANS 16:3-4 “Greet
Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Rom 16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own
necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the
Gentiles.”
ANIM (6) NA BAGAY NA IKINALULUGOD NG DIYOS PATUNGKOL SA
MGA KRISTIYANO SA LOKAL NA SIMBAHAN:
1.
THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MISS” THE WORSHIP SERVICE
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi pinalalampas ang serbisyo sa pagsamba)
HEBREWS 10:25 “Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
a. Nalugod
ang Diyos sa katapatan ng iglesya sa Jerusalem sa kanilang araw-araw na
pagsamba sa Panginoon.
ACTS 2:46 “And they,
continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,”
b.
Si Tomas ay hindi naging tapat sa pagdalo sa pagtitipon
upang sumamba sa Diyos.
JOHN 20:24 “But
Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.”
c.
Tinatawag ng Diyos ang tapat na sumasamba na isang
"tunay na sumasamba" na sumasamba sa Kanya sa Espiritu at sa
katotohanan.
JOHN 4:23-24 “But the
hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
d. Nalugod
ang Diyos sa pananabik ni Haring David na sumamba sa Kanya sa Kanyang bahay.

when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
2.
THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MURMUR” IN THE SERVICE OF GOD
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi nagbubulungan sa paglilingkod sa Diyos)
PHILIPPIANS 2:14 “Do all
things without murmurings and disputings:”
a. Ang
paglilingkod sa Diyos, tulad ng ginawa ni Josue at ng kanyang pamilya, ay isang
dakilang pribilehiyo para sa bawat Kristiyano.
JOSHUA 24:15 “And if it
seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the
flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord.”
b. Si
Pablo ay naging matatag, mapagpasalamat, at tapat sa ministeryo ng Diyos.
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;”
3.
THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MIX” WITH UNBELIEVERS.
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi nakikihalubilo sa mga hindi mananampalataya)
2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18 “Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?”
a.
Nagbigay si Pablo ng isang napakapraktikal na dahilan
kung bakit hindi dapat makipamatok nang kabilan ang mga Kristiyano sa mga hindi
mananampalataya.
b.
Ang katuwiran ay hindi maaaring ihalo sa kalikuan; ang
mga anak ng liwanag ay hindi maaaring ihalo sa mga anak ng kadiliman.
c.
Iniutos ng Diyos sa mga Kristiyano na seryosong ihiwalay
ang kanilang sarili mula sa mga makamundong impluwensya.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:17-18 “Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
4.
THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MOVE” WHEN FACING DEEP TRIALS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi natitinag sa harap ng malalalim na pagsubok sa buhay
Kristiyano)
1 PETER 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:”
a.
Si Job ay isang napakahusay na halimbawa ng isang
mananampalataya na nanatiling matatag sa harap ng malalalim at masasakit na
pagsubok.
JOB 2:9-10 “Then said
his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh.
What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
In all this did not Job sin with his lips.”
b.
Si Pablo ay lubos na nagtiwala sa Panginoon sa mga
panahon ng malaking kaligaligan at kapighatian.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:8-9 “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: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should
not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: ”
5.
THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MISUNDERSTAND” THE CALL OF GOD IN THEIR LIVES
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi nagkakamaling unawain ang tawag ng Diyos sa kanilang
buhay)
1 CORINTHIANS 1:26-28 “For ye see
your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world,
and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not,
to bring to nought things that are: ”
a.
Ipinagkaloob ng Diyos ang Kanyang tawag sa bawat
Kristiyano batay sa mga kaloob at kakayahan na ibinigay Niya sa kanila.
b.
Ang pangunahing layunin ng Diyos sa pagtawag sa atin ay
upang Siya lamang ang makatanggap ng kaluwalhatian sa pamamagitan ng ating mga
buhay.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:29 “That no
flesh should glory in his presence.”
6. THOSE
CHRISTIANS WHO DON’T “MISUSE” THEIR TALENTS FOR WORLDLY PURPOSES, BUT DEDICATE
THEM TO HOLY SERVICE TO GLORIFY GOD
(Yaong
mga Kristiyano na hindi ginagamit sa makamundong layunin ang kanilang talento,
kundi sa banal na paglilingkod upang luwalhatiin ang Diyos)
( Romans 12:1-12 ) [1]I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service.
[2]And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
a.
Nagbigay ang Diyos sa Kanyang mga minamahal na anak ng
iba't ibang talento upang magamit natin ang mga ito nang aktibo sa Kanyang
ministeryo.
( Romans 12:6-11 ) [6]Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
[7]Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or
he that teacheth, on teaching;
[8]Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that
giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
[9]Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that
which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
[10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with
brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
[11]Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit;
serving the Lord;
CONCLUSION:
Ang
Diyos ay lubos na nalulugod sa mga Kristiyano na lumalakad nang karapat-dapat
sa Kanya, nagbubunga sa bawat gawang mabuti, at nagbibigay-priyoridad sa tapat
at buong-pusong pagsamba sa loob ng lokal na simbahan.
PSALM 122:1 “I was glad
when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
GOD
BLESS YOU ALL!
