WE ARE NOT
RIGHTEOUS BUT SINNERS SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD
(Hindi
tayo matuwid ngunit tayo ay makasalanan na iniligtas ng biyaya ng Diyos)
EPHESIANS 2:8–9 “For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Introduction
a. Ang
patotoong ito ay tapat at taos-puso sa ating mga puso na tayo ay tunay na hindi
matuwid. Tayo ay mga makasalanang iniligtas ng biyaya ng Diyos. Ang ating
kaligtasan ay isang regalong natanggap mula sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng ating
pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus.
b. Ang
patotoong ito ay isang mabuting paalala ng kung sino tayo at kung ano tayo
ngayon sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Diyos. Hiwalay tayo noon kay Cristo, ngunit
ngayon si Cristo ay nasa ating mga puso.
Limang
(5) mahahalagang bagay na tinatamasa natin bilang mga Kristiyano dahil sa
biyaya ng Diyos:
I. WE
ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS BUT OUR SIN IS FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN
(Hindi tayo matuwid ngunit
ang ating kasalanan ay pinatawad at kinalimutan na)
HEBREWS 10:17 “And their
sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
a. Ang
banal na dugo ng ating Panginoong Jesus ang pantubos para sa ating mga
kasalanan sa harap ng Diyos.
1 PETER 1:18–19 “Forasmuch
as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and
gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot:”
b. Ang
dugo ng Panginoong Jesus ay nabuhos upang ang kasalanan na ginawa nina Adan at
Eba ay ganap na mapatawad ng Diyos Ama.
EPHESIANS 1:7 “In whom we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace;”
II. WE
ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS BUT OUR SAVIOR LIVES IN US
(Hindi tayo matuwid ngunit
ang ating Tagapagligtas ay naninirahan sa atin)
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
a. Si
Cristo Jesus na tumatahan sa ating buhay ang nagbabago sa atin araw-araw.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16 “For which
cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is
renewed day by day.”
b. Si
Cristo Jesus na nananahan sa atin ang nagbibigay-lakas sa ating
buhay-Kristiyano.
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 “I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
c. Si
Cristo Jesus na tumatahan sa atin ang nagbibigay sa atin ng pagtatagumpay.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:57 “But thanks
[be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
III.
WE ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS BUT OUR SATISFACTION IN LIFE IS FROM THE LORD
(Hindi tayo matuwid ngunit
ang ating kasiyahan sa buhay ay nagmumula sa Panginoon)
PSALMS 23:1 “The Lord
[is] my shepherd; I shall not want.”
a. Ang
ating kaligayahan ay nagmumula sa Kanyang mga Salita.
PSALMS 1:2 “But his
delight [is] in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.”
b. Ang
ating kaligayahan ay tuwing sinasamba natin ang Diyos.
PSALMS 122:1 “I was glad
when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
c. Ang
ating kasiyahan ay ang pagkilos ng Banal na Espiritu sa ating buhay.
GALATIANS 5:22 “But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith,”
IV. WE ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS BUT OUR SERVICE WILL SURELY BE
REWARDED BY THE LORD
(Hindi tayo matuwid ngunit
ang ating paglilingkod ay siguradong gagantimpalaan ng Panginoon)
2 TIMOTHY 4:7–8 “I have
fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto
all them also that love his appearing.”
a. Ang
matapat na paglilingkod ay may putong na walang pagkasira.
1 CORINTHIANS 9:25 “And every
man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it]
to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.”
b. Ang
mga tapat na tagapag-akay ay may putong ng kagalakan.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:19–20 “For what
[is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence
of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory and joy.”
V. WE
ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS BUT WE ARE SURE THAT OUR LORD WILL SOON COME FOR ME AND FOR
YOU
(Hindi tayo matuwid ngunit
sigurado tayong malapit nang dumating ang ating Panginoon para sa akin at para
sa iyo)
TITUS 2:13 “Looking
for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;”
a. Ang
pagbabalik ng Panginoon ay Kanyang pangako para sa Kanyang mga anak.
JOHN 14:2–3 “In my
Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may
be also.”
b. Ang
pagbabalik ng Panginoong Jesus ay isang hamon sa atin na mamuhay nang malinis
tulad Niya na banal at Dalisay.
1 JOHN 3:1–3 “Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall
see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.”
Conclusion:
Salamat
sa Panginoon para sa Kanyang masaganang biyaya. Kahit na tayo ay hindi matuwid,
sa pamamagitan ng kamatayan ni Cristo Jesus sa krus ng Kalbaryo, ginawa Niyang
posible na tayo ay maging karapat-dapat sa pag-asa ng Diyos magpakailanman.
God
bless you all always!
