God appointed His Son Jesus Christ unto a living hope for the nations. Jesus Christ is a living hope for all the people, sino ang naniwala, maniwala ka, and shall believe in God’s Son. As the Father appointed His Son unto a living hope, so are the people that believe and identified themselves with Christ’s death and resurrection from the dead and are clothing with Him, unto a living hope in the world.
Christians are born again unto a living hope
Purihin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope (living hope) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Sa isang mana na hindi nasisira, at walang dungis, at na hindi nalalabo, nakalaan sa langit para sa iyo, Sino ang iningatan ng kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya tungo sa kaligtasan na handang ihayag sa huling panahon (1 Pedro 1:3-4)
God restored through His Son Jesus Christ, the peace between God and man that was broken, and the authority and life that man lost through Adam’s sin, to everyone that believes.
Everyone that believes in Jesus Christ and through faith repents, and be baptized in water and receives the baptism with the Holy Spirit becomes a son of the living God (Ito ay nalalapat sa parehong mga lalaki at babae) and belongs to God again.
All people that are ipinanganak na muli kay Cristo are no longer sinners, but have become saints.
Believers have laid down their old life as sinner, sa pamamagitan ng kamatayan ng kanilang laman kay Kristo, and are raised from the dead in newness of life (a.o. Mga Taga Roma 4:25; 6:4-11; 7:6).
Kay Cristo, they received the life of God anew and live in the New Covenant that is sealed with the blood of Jesus. They are born again unto a living hope.
Magkasama, the believers are the Church of Christ; ang Katawan ni Kristo sa lupa.
The believers are clothed with Christ and are His reflection on earth
The believers are nakadamit kay Kristo and are His reflection on earth. From their renewed sonship (parehong lalaki at babae) and restored position, they walk by faith in the authority of the Son Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit in obedience to the will of God (a.o. Mga Taga Roma 8:29; 12:2; 15:13-19; Mga Taga Colosas 3:10; Mga Taga Efeso 6:6; Mga Hebreo 10:36; 1 Pedro 4:2-19; 1 John 2:17).
Katulad ni Hesukristo, ang Anak ng Diyos. Jesus was the reflection of God and walked by faith in the authority of His Father in the power of the Holy Spirit in obedience to the will of God (a.o. John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38; 8:19; 10:30-38; 14:7; 2 Mga Taga Corinto 4:4; Mga Taga Colosas 1:15; Mga Hebreo 1:3).
Jesus’s life belonged to God, whereby He yielded to the Father and walked in obedience to Him. Jesus spoke the words of His Father and did the things of His Father (a.o. John 8:38; 10:25-38; 14:10).
And so Jesus walked by faith in holiness and righteousness in the authority of His Father and did all in His Name.
Si Jesus ay (at ay) the living hope for the house of Israel
Jesus was the fulfillment of the Father’s promise and the living hope for the people of Israel. The Son of the promise was the living hope for all the sheep, including the sick and lost sheep of the house of Israël
Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day. Nang si Jesus ay humigit-kumulang 30 taong gulang, He was baptized (washed in the water) at puspos ng Espiritu Santo.
The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, saan Tinukso siya ng demonyo, the ruler of the world and the adversary of God, sa loob ng apatnapung araw.
After His victory, Jesus returned in the power of the Holy Spirit to Galilee, where He preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God and taught the truth of God in the synagogues.
Habang sinabi ni Jesus ang mga salita ng Ama, He became the voice of the living God on earth. Jesus preached and revealed the Kingdom of God and tinawag ang mga tao sa pagsisisi. (a.o. Mateo 4:17; Markahan 1:15; Lucas 4:14-16)
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and established God’s Law
Jesus didn’t annul the Law of Moses, but He fulfilled the Law, sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng kalooban ng Ama. The Law was connected to a King and a Kingdom, Sa kasong ito, God and God’s Kingdom.
Jesus confirmed and established the will of God and His righteousness and the (moral) laws of God’s Kingdom on earth.
Jesus showed through His walk that God is not the God of sin, death and the dead, ngunit ng katuwiran, Life and the living, the true God and the eternal King (a.o. Jeremias 10:10; Daniel 6:26; Mateo 22:32; Markahan 12:27; Lucas 20:38).
The justification through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
Doing the will of the Father was Jesus’s first priority in life. In contrary to God’s first son Adam, who put his will above the will of the Father and lost his life through his disobedience to God and caused his seed to become corrupt, God’s Son Jesus put the Father’s will above His own will, whereby He also lost His life, but through His obedience to God and His blood, He justified and quickened (ginawang buhay) many that believe and are born again in Him (a.o. John 14:27-31; Mga Taga Roma 1:16; 4:25; 5; 6; 8:10-17; Mga Taga Efeso 1:7; Mga Taga Colosas 1:20; Paghahayag 1:5-6).
Jesucristo, ang Anak ng Diyos at ang Anak ng Tao, took the guilt upon Him. The guilt, that was on the whole human race through the disobedience (kasalanan ba) of the man Adam.
Namatay si Hesus, so that everyone that believes in Him and accepts His sacrifice and be cleansed with His blood, maligtas.
Kay Cristo, we have the redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sin and are justified. (a.o. Mga Taga Roma 5:1-19; Mga Taga Galacia 1:4; 1 Mga Taga Corinto 6:11; 2 Mga Taga Corinto 5:21; Mga Taga Efeso 1:17; Mga Taga Colosas 1:13-14)
Huwag kayong magpadaya: Ni ang mga fornicator, ni idolo, ni adulterer, ni effeminate, ni ang mga nag -aabuso sa kanilang sarili sa sangkatauhan, Ni magnanakaw, ni covetous, ni lasing, ni Revilers, o mga extortioners, Magmana ng kaharian ng Diyos. At ganyan ang ilan sa iyo: Ngunit ikaw ay hugasan, Ngunit kayo ay nababanal, Ngunit kayo ay nabigyan ng katarungan sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus, at sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng ating Diyos (1 Mga Taga Corinto 6:10-11)
Jesus Christ brought deliverance from the devil and reconciliation with God
Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and through His blood, you are reconciled with God and healed. You have been made righteous and are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the down payment of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory (a.o. Mga Gawa 20:28; mga Romano 8:23; 2 Mga Taga Corinto 5:5; Mga Taga Efeso 1:13-14).
Through the identification with Christ through the baptism in the water of separation, you are separated from the world (kamatayan ng laman) at nakipagkasundo sa Diyos (Ang Pagkabuhay na Mag-uli ng Espiritu mula sa mga Patay) and have peace with God. You are death to the world and alive unto God (a.o. Mga Gawa 26:18; Mga Taga Roma 5:1; 6:5-11; Mga Taga Efeso 2:13; Mga Taga Filipos 3:10-21; Mga Taga Colosas 1:20-23).
Through the blood of Jesus, you have boldness to enter into the holiest, by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, sa pamamagitan ng tabing, that is to say His flesh (Mga Taga Roma 5:1-2; Mga Hebreo 10:19-20).
Sa pamamagitan ng pagbabagong buhay kay Cristo, you are appointed unto a living sacrifice, banal at katanggap -tanggap sa Diyos, and a living hope for the people (a.o. Mga Taga Roma 12:1; 1 Pedro 1:14).
Jesus is the living hope for all people
Jesus is still the living hope for people and the Savior of mankind. He is the living God, ang buhay na Salita, the living Water, the living Bread, the living Stone, at the living voice that still speaks and sounds in the hearts of the born again believers, who live in a world of deep darkness (a.o. John 4:10-11; 6:51; 7:38; 1 Pedro 2:4).
As Jesus was a living hope for the people through His birth on earth, and through His death and resurrection from the dead, is still a living hope for the people, so are the believers in Christ, sa pamamagitan ng pagkamatay ng laman at muling pagkabuhay ng espiritu mula sa mga patay, a living hope for the people on earth, that testify of the blood and the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Sapagka't si Cristo ay minsan ay nagdusa para sa mga kasalanan, ang makatarungan para sa hindi makatarungan, upang madala Niya tayo sa Diyos, na pinapatay sa laman, ngunit pinabilis ng Espiritu (1 Pedro 3:18)
Sa pamamagitan ng bagong kapanganakan, believers are not appointed unto a death hope but unto a living hope for the people.
They bear this living hope in them through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, Naglalakad, as witnesses of Jesus Christ as sons of God in the new life on earth in righteousness, keeping the Law of the Spirit of life, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and expecting an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that fades not away, reserved in heaven.
Christians are witnesses of Jesus Christ and the hope that is in them
They are the true witnesses of Jesus Christ and the hope that is in them on earth. They are the light that shines in this dark world.
Every Christian that believes and through regeneration in Christ is made unto a living hope, possesses the truth and is expected to proclaim this truth in the power of the Holy Spirit to the people. Kaya nga, they also be given the opportunity to believe and be delivered from the power of devil, kasalanan ba, at kamatayan, and by faith and the new birth in Christ be saved from hell and reconciled with God and receive eternal life
Huwag mo ngang ikahiya ang patotoo ng ating Panginoon, ni sa akin na Kanyang bilanggo: ngunit ikaw ay makibahagi sa mga paghihirap ng ebanghelyo ayon sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos; Sino ang nagligtas sa atin, at tinawag kami ng banal na pagtawag, hindi ayon sa ating mga gawa, ngunit ayon sa Kanyang sariling layunin at biyaya, na ibinigay sa atin kay Cristo Jesus bago pa ang sanglibutan, Ngunit ngayon ay nahayag sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng ating Tagapagligtas na si Jesu-Cristo, Who hath abolished death, at nagdala ng buhay at kawalang-kamatayan sa liwanag sa pamamagitan ng ebanghelyo
