WHAT TIME IS IT NOW FOR THE
CHRISTIANS AT THE LAST DAYS?
(ANONG PANAHON NGAYON SA MGA KRISTIYANO NA TAYO’Y NASA HULING PANAHON
NA?)
EPHESIANS 5:14-18 “Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk
circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not
unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with
wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
Panimula:
a. Ang araling ito ay seryosong hamon sa bawat Kristiyano upang sila’y
maging mapagmalasakit sa gawain ng Panginoon at lalo na sa mga taong hindi pa
ligtas upang akayin kay Kristo Hesus.
b.Ang kahulugan ng “last days” o huling panahon ay ang panahon na si
Kristo Hesus ay napakalapit ng magbalik.
Limang (5) pag-aaral sa araling ito:
1. IT IS TIME TO AWAKE IN CHRISTIAN LIFE
(Ito’y panahon upang gumising sa buhay Kristiyano.)
EPHESIANS 5:14 “Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
a. Ang seryosong hamon ni Pablo sa mga Kristiyano, “gumising kang
natutulog”, ay ang espiritwal na pagkakatulog ng mga Kristiyano.
b.Ang katunayan na tulog ang Kristiyano espritwal ay ang kanilang buhay
na hindi nagliliwanag sa harapan ng mga tao. Sinabi ni Pablo, “magbangon ka sa
gitna ng mga patay at liliwanagan ka ni Kristo.”
MATTHEW 5:16 “Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.”
2. IT IS TIME TO WALK WITH WISDOM NOT AS FOOLS: THIS IS
GOD’S WILL FOR US
(Ito’y panahon na lumakad ng may karunungan at hindi tulad ng mga
mangmang at ito ang kalooban ng Diyos.)
EPHESIANS 5:15 “See then that ye walk
circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,”
a. Ang lakad ng may karunungan ay pamumuhay mula sa Salita ng Diyos.
Ito’y lakad sa katotohanan.
3JOHN 1:3-4 “For I rejoiced greatly, when the
brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest
in the truth.
3Jn 1:4 I have no greater joy than
to hear that my children walk in truth.”
b. Ang lakad na may karunungan ay pamumuhay na naluluwalhati at
nalulugod ang Diyos.
COLOSSIANS 1:9-10 “For this cause we also, since the
day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding;
Col 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;”
3. IT IS TIME TO TAKE ALL THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH MORE
LOST PEOPLE
(Ito’y panahon upang ating samantalahin ang pagkakataon para akayin ang
marami pang hindi ligtas.)
EPHESIANS 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil.”
a. Sa huling panahon ay maraming lilitaw na mga bulaang tagapagturo
upang iligaw ang marami.
2CORINTHIANS
11:13-15 “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.”
MATTHEW 24:11 “And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.”
b. Ang huling panahon ay kitang-kita na natin sa pagsama ng panahon
natin. Kaya tama lang na ang Kristiyano ay magmadali na mag-akay ng mga hindi
ligtas.
EPHESIANS 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil.”
JUDE 1:23 “And others save with fear,
pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”
4. IT IS TIME TO WALK BEING FILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
(Ito’y panahon na mamuhay tayo na puspos ng Banal na Espiritu.)
EPHESIANS 5:18 “And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
a. Ang Banal na Espritu ay tumatahan at nagbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa
bawat Kristiyano.
1CORINTHIANS 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
ACTS 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the
earth.”
b. Ang Banal na Espiritu ay nagbibigay sa mga Kristiyano ng lubos na
karunungan.
JOHN 16:13 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.”
c. Ang Banal na Espiritu ay nagbibigay ng bungang espiritwal.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.”
5. IT TIME TO EXAMINE OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE WE ARE STILL
LIVING IN THE WILL OF GOD OR LIVING ACCORDING TO THE ENEMY OF GOD.
(2 Corinthians 13:5)
Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your
own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
a. So many Christians are living living not according to their strong
faith to God but like the people in the World. They worship God like a form not
with sincerely.
Philippians 1:16-17 [16]The one preach Christ of
contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
[17]But the other of love, knowing
that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
* (2 Timothy 3:1-5) [1]This know also, that in the
last days perilous times shall come.
[2]For men shall be lovers of
their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3]Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
good,
[4]Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
[5]Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Pangwakas:
a. Ang huling panahon ay totoong papasama ng papasama ang mga tao at
maging ang kalagayan ng pamumuhay ng tao.
2TIMOTHY 3:1-5 “This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come.
2Tim 3:2 For men shall be lovers
of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Tim 3:3 Without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good,
2Tim 3:4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Tim 3:5 Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
b. Kaya’t ang araling ito ay hamon sa mga Kristiyano na samantalahin ang
panahon na magpakarunong sa pamumuhay at maging ilaw sa mga hindi ligtas.
EPHESIANS 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil.”
