  John 14:6 [6]Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. All the founders of the religions of this world are dead. They stay dead. Only Jesus rose again.  These teachers point to someone or something as the way. They are not the way. They cannot claim to be the way. In fact they don't know if they made it. All they can hope for is their good outweigh their bad and maybe it is sufficient to bring them eternal life.  Unlike them, Jesus point to Himself as the Way. Only He can claim to be the Way. Apart from Him no one can come to the Father.  He did the work of salvation. He gave His life at the Cross as propitiation for our sins . He was buried and then rose again. In so doing, He removed sin as a barrier between God and man. No man will go to the Lake of Fire because of sin. The only reason a person will go to the Lake of Fire is if he rejected Christ as Savior .  The only condition to have etern...

  Isang araw, dalawang libong taon na ang nakaraan, ang Anak ng Diyos ay pinako sa krus. Namatay Siya hindi dahil Siya ay masamang tao. Namatay Siya upang bayaran ang kasalanan ng sanlibutan .  Ang awtor ng buhay ay ibinigay ang Kaniyang buhay sa krus upang ang sinumang patay espirituwal na manampalataya sa Kaniya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan .  Namatay Siya upang ang mga patay sa kasalanan at patungo sa lawa ng apoy ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan at makasama Niya magpakailan man sa Kaluwalhatian.  Namatay Siya upang alisin ang hadlang ng kasalanan. Walang sinumang pupunta sa impiyerno nang dahil sa kasalanan. Binayaran iyan ni Cristo sa krus. Ang tanging dahilan kung bakit may pupunta sa impiyerno ay hindi siya nanampalataya kay Cristo para sa buhay na walang hanggan.  Ang nag-iisang kundisyon upang magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan ay manampalataya kay Cristo. Hindi ang umanib sa relihiyon o gumawa nang katuwiran. Maaaring nakatutulon...

  May batang naglalakad sa dilim. Normally takot siya sa dilim ngunit dahil kasama niya ang kaniyang kuya, matapang siya. Alam niyang hindi siya pababayaan ni kuya.  Spiritually speaking, ang mga Cristiano ay namumuhay sa gitna ng kadiliman ng sanlibutan ito. Ang bawat mananampalataya kay Cristo ay mga ilaw ng sanlibutan ngunit kung hindi tayo maingat, papatayin ng dilim ang ating ilaw.  Ngunit kung aware tayo laging kasama natin si Jesus , ang Kuya sa kapatirang espirituwal, hindi tayo matatakot. Alam nating hindi Niya tayo pababayaan.  Sinuman ang ating makasalubong, anuman ang ating makaharap... hindi Niya tayo iiwan. Iyan ang Kaniyang pangako at tinutupad Niya ang Kaniyang salita.  Minsan natutukso tayong mag-alinlangan sa Kaniyang Salita . Huwag. Hindi gaya ng ordinaryong taong madalas mapako ang pangako, hinding hindi iiwan ni Jesus ang Cristiano.  Dahil dito, lumalakad tayo nang may kumpiyansa. Alam nating mayroon tayong malalapitan. Alam nating ma...

  Romans 3:24 [24]being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Isaiah 55:1-2 [1]"Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost. [2]"Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And delight yourself in abundance. "Mabuti pa ang gasolina, mahal," this is a very popular FB quip. Tayong mga Pinoy ay pamoso for making light of what otherwise will be difficult situations.  This is part of Filipino resiliency .  Gaano man kamahal ang mga bilihin, Filipinos will survive.  Gaano man kabilis magmahal ang mga bilihin, there is one thing that remains free: eternal life is freely given to those who believe in Jesus Christ , John 3:16 ; Acts 16:31 .  Eternal life is not something you worked for. You cannot earn it by joining a religion, perfor...

  Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.  Unfortunately when it comes to spiritual things, it is very easy to be influenced by what is popular or what is easy. We're paper boats carried by the streams of culture.  It is very easy to be worldly when everyone is worldly. To live godly in an ungodly world makes you stand out like a sore thumb.  The right way is the way that is seldom disturbed. Very few pass through it. It is a road less traveled.  Everyone is passing through the wide gate of compromise. Very few passes through the narrow gate of doing the right thing, even if it means standing alone.  Compromise is easy when you desire the approval of people. It is one of my repeated theme in my blogs: why would you desire the approval of the world that crucified Christ ?  This world rejects our Lord; we shouldn't expect a different treatment. This world will try to lead you away from Christ. They'll c...

  Imagine na may utang ka sa bangko. May nagbayad ng iyong utang in full. Ang tanong: may karapatan pa ba ang bangkong singilin ka? And more importantly how would you call a man whose debts are fully paid yet insists on still paying it?  Most of us ay may enough sense na sabihing walang karapatan ang bangkong maningil sa taong ang buong utang ay binayaran na. Most of us have enough sense na sabihing hangal ang nagbabayad ng utang na binayaran na.  And yet maraming spiritually walang common sense. Buhat pagkabata tinuruan silang si Jesus ay namatay sa pagbayad ng ating mga kasalanan . Then on the same breathe they will insist that they still need to pay for their sins.  Either Jesus paid for our sins or not. Kung binayaran Niya ang mga ito, hindi na tayo dapat magbayad.  Ni wala nga tayong kapasidad na bayaran ang ating mga kasalanan. Hindi sapat ang mabubuting gawa o ang mabubuting intensiyon upang bayaran ang kasalanan ng isang tao.  Ang tanging kabayaran...

  Mula pa pagkabata, tinuro ng ating mga magulang ang kahalagahan ng pagto-toothbrush . We brush our teeth to keep cavities away.  Ngunit for all the emphasis on mouth hygiene, may isang paglilinis na madalas nating nakakalimutan: nalilimutan nating panatilihing malinis ang ating dila spiritually.  Proverbs 18:21 [21]Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Colossians 4:6 [6]Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. Pinaalalahanan tayo ng Bibliang ang ating dila ay may kapangyarihan ng buhay at kamatayan. Samakatuwid may konsekwensiya ang paggamit ng dila.  Ayon kay Pablo ang dila ay dapat laging natitimplahan ng biyaya. Ang nakalulungkot, sa halip na biyaya ang nanggagaling sa ating bibig, ito ay puno ng kasinungalingan at panghuhusga.  Kung ano ang nasa puso, iyan ang lumalabas sa ating dila. Kung ang puso ay puno ng panghuh...

  Why do I spend time every day to write and post Biblical materials? No matter how busy I am, I still find time in my busy life to write about Him. It doesn’t pay. Not even one cent. It is a calling. I did it because I wanted to share God’s Word. If even just one person find Christ by reading my posts it is worth all the trouble. The only condition to receive eternal life is believe in Jesus for eternal life. If by reading my posts a person believe in Jesus, then all the efforts are worth it.  I never expect to be widely read. I have already decided beforehand that I'd rather be truthful and unpopular than be popular but catering to people's opinions.  Sometimes even when I'm going blank, I force myself to think and write. I put my soul in every blog.  I know that I am not a polish writer. I know that I can't compete with popular bloggers. My only hope is to write what I think about a topic and if in the process someone believes in Jesus, it is a bonus. It is w...

  You are the summary of your 5 closest associates. Kung sino ang madalas mong kasama, sila ang mag-iimpluwensiya sa iyo. If this is true, we should pay attention to the people we associate with. If we let corrupt thinking enters our minds, our living will also be corrupted. The standard for correct thinking is the Word of God . The more we study the Word of God, the more aligned our thinking will be to God’s standards. Choose friends who will feed you with the Word of God. A friendship that revolves around the study and application of the Word of God is one of life’s best rewards. Sit around tables that talk about ideas and not people. As the saying goes, “Small minds talk about people but great minds talks about ideas .” Biblical ideas will uplift your minds and souls. Gossiping about peoples will just rot your minds. We have only a limited number of hours per day. We have to redeem the time . Use time for God’s glory. Think of our time as investments that will yield divid...
