Entries for February, 2010

Forgive my being upfront.

Ang best example na naisip ko dito eh yung mga nasa hell ngayon. The heartbeat of God is that none should perish. It is not the will of God for anyone to slip into eternal damnation. Jesus sacrificed his very own life to make sure of this truth. Pero bakit merong mga taong napupunta sa hell? Because God gave us, humans, free will — the freedom to choose.

So, although, God is the embodiment of love, nao-override ang will nya, whenever man chooses not to accept the free gift of salvation.

Same principle applies to our daily lives, sa mga decisions na ginagawa natin. Kaya we are told to lay upon the feet of Jesus ang mga plans natin, dahil very possible na ma-override natin ang will ni Lord sa buhay natin.

Everything works together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Hindi passive ang verse na ‘to. Passive in a way na hahayaan na lang natin na mangyari kung ano bang nangyayari. Just the fact that we came to know Christ is evidence enough that we are indeed called. Our active participation is to love God. If we love God, our decisions will be based upon what he wants not ours. Our decisions will be based on his perfect will not on a trial and error basis.

Bakit "our decision"? Dahil hindi tayo ginawa ni Lord na push button. Hindi tayo de-baterya na kasangkapan. God is requiring us to act. Tayo ang kikilos, but, in accordance to his will, if we want the abundant life that he's promised us. So that we may abound in all grace at all times. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV) And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Grace sa lahat ng bagay, sa lahat ng oras.

Needs emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially — sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay, always, palagi. God is able to make all grace abound to us. He can only do this if we are surrendered. If not, then, yeah, permissive will.

Open for reaction. Wag lang violent at medyo pagod pa ko sa paglilipat
