Langit o impiyerno, that’s the choice people must make during their lives on Earth. God gave every person a free will to believe Him and His Son Jesus Christ and choose life, and receive eternal life and go to heaven or to reject Him and His Son, and choose death and in the end hell and the second death in the eternal lake of fire. Let’s look at the way of salvation that leads to heaven and the way of death that leads to hell.
Si Hesus ang tanging daan patungo sa Diyos
The only way to be saved and to be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Heaven and be reconciled with God is through the Messiah: Panginoong Hesukristo. There is no other way to God and to eternal life.
Jesus Christ is the only way. Jesus is the Messiah, Anak ng Diyos, ang Punong Pari, ang Hari ng mga hari, and the Lord of lords.
Bawat tao ay kailangang humarap kay Hesus. Makikitungo ka kay Jesu-Kristo sa panahon ng iyong buhay o pagkatapos ng iyong buhay sa lupa.
Kapag nakikitungo ka kay Hesus, Sa iyong buhay, it means that you believe in Him as the Son of God and the Saviour of mankind, and repent and be born again in Him and make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life.
But if you don’t believe in Jesus and don’t acknowledge Him as the Saviour of mankind and you don’t make Him the Lord of your life and don’t do what He says, you will automatically deal with Jesus after you die, bilang Hukom. (Basahin din: Si Jesus ba ang iyong magiging Tagapagligtas o iyong Hukom?)
Si Hesus ay magbibinyag sa iyo ng Banal na Espiritu at ng apoy
Sa Mateo 3:11-12 at Luke 3:15-17, John the Baptist spoke about the majesty of Jesus Christ and how Jesus would baptize the people with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Many Christians think that He spoke about two baptisms in life. A baptism with the Holy Ghost and a baptism with fire.
Gayunpaman, if we read further, we can conclude that John spoke indeed about two different baptisms, but these baptisms are not both during life on earth.
The baptism with the Holy Ghost is during life on earth for the people that believe and repent and are baptized in Christ’s death and resurrection. They are justified in Christ and receive the Holy Spirit from the Father.
Ang binyag sa apoy is after life and after the judgment.
It is the baptism in the eternal lake of fire that is meant for all the adversaries of God: for all the ungodly wicked people that didn’t believe but rejected God and His Son Jesus Christ and did not do what He said, but walked in sin and iniquity.
Ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus Christ will not be thrown into the unquenchable eternal fire if they do what He said and keep His commandments and do the will of the Father, Sino ang nasa langit.
Jesus promised His disciples the baptism with the Holy Ghost. This baptism with the Holy Ghost showed that they were redeemed by the blood of Jesus, justified in Christ, at pag-aari ng Diyos. The Holy Ghost in them would testify that they were born of God and belonged to Him and were His children. (Oh. John 3:5-6; 14:15-17; 2 Mga taga-Corinto 5:21; mga Romano 8:11-17; Mga Taga-Efeso 2:13; Mga Hebreo 9; 1 Peter 1:2-19; 1 John 3:9).
Ang bautismo sa Espiritu Santo
Sa Araw ng Pentecostes, the disciples received the baptism of the Holy Ghost; ang pangako ng Ama. As the believers were all together in prayer, may narinig mula sa langit na gaya ng humahangos na malakas na hangin. This sound of a rushing mighty wind filled all the house. At may napakita sa kanila na mga dila na parang apoy, at ito ay nakapatong sa bawat isa sa kanila. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This is the one baptism with the Holy Ghost. It is the baptism that Jesus promised to His disciples.
Nowhere in the Bible is it written that they were filled with the Holy Ghost and later on with fire. Hindi, the cloven tongues like as of fire that sat upon each of them, whereby they began to speak with other tongues, proved that they were baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Ito ay isang binyag: ang bautismo ng Espiritu Santo. It’s the baptism that Jesus Himself promised to His disciples. Ito ay ang Lamang baptism they were waiting for. It was the only baptism they needed to be a witness of Jesus Christ and to proclaim the gospel and bring the Kingdom of God to the people and to teach all the nations.
At biglang dumating ang isang tunog mula sa langit na gaya ng humahangos na malakas na hangin, at napuno nito ang buong bahay na kanilang kinauupuan. At may napakita sa kanila na mga dila na parang apoy, at ito ay nakapatong sa bawat isa sa kanila. At silang lahat ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo, at nagsimulang magsalita ng ibang mga wika, gaya ng ibinigay sa kanila ng Espiritu na magsalita
Mga Gawa 2:2-4
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng salitang binyag?
Ang bautismo ay isinalin mula sa salitang Griyego na ‘baptisma’ at ibig sabihin: binyag. Ang salitang ito ay nagmula sa salitang 'baptizo'. Baptizo means: upang gawing whelmed (nangangahulugang takpan nang buo ang isang likido), magsawsaw, maghugas, upang isawsaw.
To be baptized means: isang buong paglulubog. Sa pagtukoy kay Matthew 3, ibig sabihin: isang buong paglulubog, being fully dipped into the Holy Ghost, and fully immersed, ganap na inilubog sa apoy.
Ang binyag sa apoy
Ang pangakong ito ng ganap na paglulubog sa Espiritu Santo ay nangyari noong araw ng Pentecostes. But the full immersion with fire; ang bautismo sa apoy, hindi pa nangyayari. The Bible speaks about the baptism with fire in Revelation 20:
Ang diyablo na nanlinlang sa kanila ay itinapon sa lawa ng apoy at asupre, kung saan naroon ang halimaw at ang bulaang propeta, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever And I saw a great white throne, at siya na nakaupo dito, mula sa kanyang mukha ang lupa at ang langit ay tumakas; at walang nasumpungang lugar para sa kanila.
At nakita ko ang mga patay, maliit at malaki, tumayo sa harap ng Diyos; at nabuksan ang mga libro: at isa pang libro ang binuksan, na siyang aklat ng buhay: at ang mga patay ay hinatulan mula sa mga bagay na nakasulat sa mga aklat, ayon sa kanilang mga gawa.
At ibinigay ng dagat ang mga patay na nasa loob nito; at ibinigay ng kamatayan at impiyerno ang mga patay na nasa kanila: at sila ay hinatulan bawat tao ayon sa kanilang mga gawa. At ang kamatayan at ang impiyerno ay itinapon sa dagatdagatang apoy.
Ito ang ikalawang kamatayan. At ang sinumang hindi nasumpungang nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay ay itinapon sa dagatdagatang apoy (Pahayag 20:10-15)
Ito ang tinutukoy ni Juan Bautista. Kilala ni Juan Bautista si Jesucristo, ang Anak ng Diyos. Alam niya ang kapangyarihan at awtoridad ni Jesu-Kristo at ipinaalam niya ito sa mga Pariseo.
Ang diyablo ay sinungaling, deceiver and murderer
The father of fallen man and the ruler (prinsipe) ng mundo, ang diyablo, ay isang manloloko, isang sinungaling, At isang mamamatay -tao. The devil tries to deceive and captivate as many people as possible. He wants to destroy and take them with him into the eternal lake of fire.
The eternal lake of fire is the eternal destination of the devil, the fallen angels that followed him in heaven, and all the people that followed him on earth.
Do you choose heaven or hell
Jesus came to deliver people from the power of the devil, kasalanan, and death that operate in the sinful flesh. Jesus loves you so much that He gave Himself for you. He carried all your sins and iniquities in His flesh on the cross.
Jesus wants you to go to heaven, He doesn’t want you to go to hell and that your final destination will be the eternal lake of fire. He wants you to believe in Him and repent of your old life as a sinner. He wants you to turn to Him and love Him and receive eternal life and go to heaven.
Ginawa ni Hesus ang lahat ng Kanyang makakaya upang iligtas ka. Ngayon, nasa iyo kung ano ang iyong pasya.
Maniniwala ka ba kay Hesukristo, ang Anak ng Diyos? Do you believe in His work of redemption and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord? O hindi?
Kung hindi mo tinatanggap si Hesukristo bilang iyong Tagapagligtas, kung magkagayon si Jesus ay magiging iyong Hukom.
If you don’t choose life but reject the Word of life, pagkatapos ay awtomatiko mong pinili ang kamatayan. Kapag si Hesus ay naging iyong Hukom ikaw ay mabibinyagan ng bautismo ng apoy.
Samakatuwid, gumawa ng tamang pagpili, while you still have the ability to make a choice. kasi tomorrow, it may be too late.
