THE
EVIDENCE OF WALKING BY FAITH OF THE CHRISTIAN BEFORE GOD.
HEBREWS 11:1 "Now
faith is
the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 "(For
we walk by faith, not by sight:)"
Panimula:
a. Posibleng
patunayan ng isang Kristiyano ang pamumuhay sa pananampalataya.
HEBREWS 11:32-40 "And
what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of]
Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and
[of] the prophets:
Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped
the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in
fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life
again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
obtain a better resurrection:
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of [cruel] mockings
and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in
sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Heb 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they
wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good
report through faith, received not the promise:
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing
for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."
b. Ang
paglakad o pamumuhay sa pananampalataya ay ayon sa turo ng Salita ng Diyos. Ito
ay pamumuhay na hindi nakadepende sa paningin o lohika ng tao, kundi sa mga
pangako ng Diyos.

GREAT THINGS THAT PROVE A CHRISTIAN WALKS BY FAITH BEFORE GOD.
1.
OBEDIENCE TO GOD PROVES THAT WE WALK BY FAITH BEFORE HIM.
ROMANS 8:14 “For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
a. Ang
totoong pagsunod sa Diyos ay ang pinakamalinaw na katunayan ng pananampalataya.
JOHN14:15 "If ye
love me, keep my commandments."
b. Halimbawa
si Noe: Sumunod siya sa utos ng Diyos na gumawa ng isang napakalaking arko,
kahit wala pang senyales ng baha o ulan noon.
HEBREWS 11:7 “By faith
Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared
an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and
became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
c. Halimbawa
si Abraham: Buong puso siyang sumunod sa tawag ng Diyos nang walang anumang
reklamo o pag-aalinlangan, kahit hindi niya alam ang kanyang eksaktong
pupuntahan.
HEBREWS 11:8 “By faith
Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he
went.
2.
SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD PROVES THAT WE WALK BY FAITH BEFORE GOD.
ROMANS1:1 "Paul,
a servant
of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God,"
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,
2Cor 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
a. Ang
Diyos na banal ay mahigpit na nag-uutos sa mga Kristiyano na mamuhay nang may
kabanalan sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay.
1 PETER 1:15-16 “But as he
which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1Pet 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I
am holy.”
b. Gagamitin
lamang ng Diyos ang isang Kristiyano kung siya ay nagpapasakop sa proseso ng
pagpapakabanal at paglilinis sa sarili.
2 TIMOTHY 2:21 “If a man
therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, [and] prepared unto every good
work.”
3.
SERVING GOD PROVES WE WALK BY FAITH BEFORE HIM.
MATTHEW 6:24 “No man can
serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else
he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.”
a. Ang
mga taong tunay na pag-aari ng Diyos ay may pagnanais na maglingkod sa Kanya.
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. Ang
mga taong hindi sa Diyos ay nabubuhay para sa sariling pita at hindi
naglilingkod sa Kanya.
EPHESIANS 2:3-4 “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.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he loved us,”
JOHN 8:44 “Ye are of
[your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him.
4. FOLLOWING CHRIST’S STEPS PROVES WE ARE HIS TRUE DISCIPLES.
( 1Peter 2:21 ) [21]For
even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us
an example, that ye should follow his steps:
LUKE 9:23 “And he
said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
a. Ang
pagtulad at pagsunod sa mga hakbang ni Kristo (maging sa pagtitiis) ay patunay
ng buhay na pananampalataya.
1 PETER 2:21 “For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps:”
b. Ang
bawat hakbang ng pananampalataya ay hakbang patungo sa lubos na pagtatagumpay.
HEBREWS 11:32-40 “And what
shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak,
and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the
prophets:
Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped
the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in
fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life
again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
obtain a better resurrection:
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of [cruel] mockings
and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in
sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Heb 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they
wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good
report through faith, received not the promise:
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing
for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”
5.
ABIDING IN CHRIST PROVES THAT WE WALK BY FAITH THROUGH OUR FRUITFULNESS
JOHN 15:4-5 “Abide in
me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in
the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He
that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing.”
a. Si
Kristo mismo ang nag-utos sa mga Kristiyano na manatili sa Kanya upang ang
ating buhay ay magbunga ng kabanalan at gawang mabuti.
b. Ang
kawalan ng pananatili (o pagtalikod) ay malinaw na katunayan ng kawalan ng
tunay na pananampalataya.
c. Hindi
kailanman magtatagumpay ang isang tao kung wala siyang pananampalataya at
koneksyon kay Kristo.
JOHN 15:5 “I am the
vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
HEBREWS 11:6 “But
without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.”
* God
bless you all always *
