Kapag ikaw ay ipinanganak na muli kay Kristo, Ikaw ay ginawang matuwid. Ang sabi ng Bibliya, Ginawa ng Diyos si Hesus, na walang alam na kasalanan, upang maging kasalanan para sa atin, na walang alam na kasalanan, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Mga taga-Corinto 5:20-21). Hindi ka na anak ng diyablo, isang makasalanan, ngunit ikaw ay naging anak ng Diyos, isang santo. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Ang matuwid ay naglalakad sa katuwiran
At ngayon, maliliit na bata, Manatili sa kanya; na, Kapag siya ay lilitaw, Maaari tayong magkaroon ng kumpiyansa, at hindi mahihiya sa harap niya sa kanyang pagdating. Kung alam mo na Siya ay matuwid, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 John 2:28-29)
A born-again na Kristiyano is born of God and has become a son of God (naaangkop ito sa kapwa lalaki at babae).
Kapag ipinanganak kang muli, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(please note: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang gawain; Ang kanyang sakripisyo at ang kanyang dugo. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Kapag lumakad ka ayon sa Espiritu, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Kung mahal mo ako, Panatilihin ang aking mga utos
sabi ni Hesus: “Kung mahal mo ako, Panatilihin ang aking mga utos” (John 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 o 3 oras sa isang linggo, ngunit 24 oras sa isang araw, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Kanyang paraan) and stay obedient to Him.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, mananatili ka sa Kanya, at sundin ang Kanyang mga utos, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Salita ng Diyos), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
kapag ikaw, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
